Swiss Manager: England Didn't Have Many Chances, It Shouldn't Be Us Going Home

In the UEFA Euro quarterfinals, Embolo scored first, and Saka equalized with a long shot, resulting in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes. In the penalty shootout, Akanji missed his spot-kick, while England converted all five, leading to Switzerland’s elimination with a 3-5 loss on penalties and a 4-6 aggregate score. After the match, Swiss manager Murat Yakin spoke to the media.

Yakin commented, “Akanji missing the penalty? There are no words to console anyone. I thank him for his performance and leadership. We’re all very sad, but we have to get through it. But we can also be very proud. Overall, our journey in this Euro has been very successful.”

“We can confidently show ourselves. Of course, we were knocked out because we weren’t good enough today. On the other hand, a penalty shootout is about luck, and we weren’t fortunate. We caused a lot of problems for strong teams, so we leave with our heads held high.”

“Being eliminated is truly painful. We put in a lot of effort and created many chances. I’m sad for the players and the whole nation. England didn’t have many opportunities, whereas we created several. We shouldn’t be going home like this, but we can indeed be very proud of ourselves.”
