To qualify for the finals of Euro 2012, Switzerland is highly dependent on the outcome of the match Montenegro and the United Kingdom, Friday, 7/10/2011 night.
Switzerland is ranked third group with eight points from six matches, three points behind Montenegro. With two games remaining against Wales and Montenegro itself, the Swiss must win maximum points and hope Montenegro stumbled. However, coach Ottmar Hitzfeld declared himself to stay focused on looks.
"We started with a difficult qualifying, but I always believe my team," he said in a press conference prapertandingan.
"We've got a chance to escape through the play-offs. We want to win over Wales. We do not rely on the British victory over Montenegro."
Hitzfeld said Wales as a very tough team because it has a number of good players, like Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, and Craig Bellamy. Coach of the old work in the German Bundesliga was also mentioned the strength of Switzerland.
"We were undefeated for almost a year. After the World Cup we lost some players and some have retired, but I am happy with the quality of our young players," he continued.
"We have players who are still young and also the player with an average age of 27 or 28 years, so I am happy with the blend in the team."
"Today, young players are more mature than 20 years ago. I am satisfied with the education of football players in Switzerland."
