Led by Switzerland Kwadwo Duah, Breel Embolo and Michel Aebischer, which are the three unexpected names that shone in the victory against Hungary (1-3), players unknown or unseen in recent times for their coach Murat Yakin, They will challenge Scotland tonight, a rival that remains affected and is still licking its wounds from the mess it received from Germany.
Yakin seems to be looking for new figures to gradually renew the golden generation that gave so much joy to Swiss football. In their first match, some of their most famous names, like Xhredan Shaqiri, sat on the bench and did not play a minute. On the other hand, Duah, who made his national team debut just eleven days before a friendly against Estonia, appeared in the starting eleven. His replacement, in the second half, was Embolo, who had not played for Switzerland since the World Cup in Qatar. Both scored to cap a successful Swiss debut.
In front of them they will have Scotland who are depressed by the result against Germany. From euphoria due to the intensity of their vociferous fans, they turned to disappointment after going down 5-1. The team led by Steve Clarke did not have a single shot on goal, as their goal was Antonio Rüdiger’s own goal, and another defeat would leave them almost out of the Euro Cup.
However, Scotland will try to restore a state of emergency.
