Selector Yakin and the president of the federation Blanc comment on Switzerland's draw: We won't have a problem for the match with Serbia

The selector of Switzerland, Murat Yakin, and the president of SFV, Dominique Blanc, have commented on the group where they will be joined by Brazil, Serbia and Cameroon.

First spoke Yakin, who said that he is satisfied with the draw, even though there are strong teams in front of him.

"I am satisfied with the World Cup draw. Brazil, Serbia and Cameroon – these are big challenges. We will prepare very well to qualify for the next round".


"These are national teams that are equal to us, so we are challenged. Of course, we will not make it easy for these two teams", said Yakin from Doha.

Four years ago, Switzerland drew 1-1 against Brazil and won 2-1 against Serbia in a very emotional game.

The 47-year-old coach also spoke about the opponent who started the adventure, Cameroon: "An interesting team to beat".

At the 2018 World Cup in Kaliningrad, Russia, Serbian fans provoked Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri, who had scored in that 2-1 victory.

The head of the SFV, Dominique Blanc, said that Switzerland recognizes the group, while saying that there is no problem with Serbia.

"You have to be pragmatic. We know the group. We will prepare to win."

Regarding the Serbia match, he added: "Of course, we will not make any controversy. We are in contact with the association, they are our friends. It's a football game." /Telegraph/
