Switzerland succeeded against Italy in the 1/16 of "EURO 2024", as the Swiss defeated "Axurre" with the result 2-0, moreover, dominating the game.
Led by Granit Xhaka in the role of captain, Switzerland prepares for the quarter-final match against England.
However, in a recent interview, Xhaka returns once again to the match with the Italians, while emphasizing that he had never seen Italy at such a weak level.
" I hate to lose, even in training I don't accept defeat. Akanzhi and I had a great season, as did the three players who come from Bologna. In general, all the players have done well this season and we are "hungry" for more. I had never seen Italy in this condition, it was very difficult. I think we won the game before we even got on the field, that's what they did with us three years ago.
I am very proud of what we have shown, I am proud of every member of the team and the staff, because what we have achieved is very special. Not only for the result, but also for the performance and expressive play. We played at an excellent level and we were mentally very good, even though we faced a prestigious opponent.
We had in mind that 3-0 defeat against Italy three years ago. But, this time we showed a lot of team spirit and achieved a goal that was more than deserved. Every victory increases our confidence, we were tactically disciplined even with the ball in our possession, but also when the opponent had the ball under control ", said Xhaka.
