Euro 2024, Murat Yakin sticks to bad luck and recriminates
The words of Murat Yakin
Murat Yakin does not hide his disappointment over the exit from Euro 2024: "It hurts. We put a lot of effort and created a lot of chances. I am sad for the boys and for the whole nation. England did not have many chances, while we created a lot of them".
"We don't deserve to go home, however we can be really proud", the analysis of the coach of Switzerland, which eliminated defending champions Italy and surrendered only on penalties against European vice-champions England.
“We no longer need to hide. We were eliminated because it wasn't enough today. Penalties are a matter of luck and we didn’t have it. We created many problems for the big teams, so we go out with our heads held high".
Closing remark on Akanji, who missed his decisive revealing penalty: "There are no words of comfort. I thanked him for his performance and leadership. There’è a deep sadness and we all have to bear it. But there’è also much pride“.
