The Swiss press reacts to the draw with Israel: “Disaster in the weakest group in history”

Cantonese journalists believe that Yakin has disappointed and does not deserve to extend his contract, although the national team will most likely be able to qualify for EURO 2024.

“Switzerland should be held accountable after a 1-1 draw with Israel. Qualifying is still going on, but we have four mistakes in eight competitive stages. This is undoubtedly a very disappointing qualifying campaign. This is a disaster in the weakest group in history.

The national team, facing Romania, Kosovo and Belarus, did it again. Now we have emotions at the end of the campaign for entry into the EURO. The last two games in the group will be decisive, in which we will meet Kosovo and Romania.

Half of the matches played in this group were disasters. Although we played in the weakest group in history.

We remember how Granit Xhaka asked his teammates to finish the group with ten consecutive victories. And our expectations were similar. These gentlemen who play for Manchester City, Inter Milan or AC Milan need to move their asses and figure it out eventually.

We will probably reach the 2024 European Championship, but we have to ask ourselves whether Murat Yakin deserves a new contract,” noted journalists from Take a look.
