The Swiss goal Yann Sommer He said this Friday that he was going Italy favorites in Saturday’s round of 16 match, but said his team is ready to create problems for him and will do so if he repeats the performance he showed in the group stage.
“I don’t think you can say that, we are playing against the current European champion,” said Sommer when asked in a press conference if favoritism is not for Switzerland in light of the recent performance of the two teams.
“I see Italy as a favorite. They are European champions and have been world champions. But we are prepared and we can create problems for them,” said the goalkeeper.
According to Sommer, in the group stage his team managed to have a good defensive performance, which resulted in the rivals having few scoring opportunities.
“If we succeed again, we will create problems for them,” he said.
Sommer admitted it could be an advantage for him to know many of the opposing attacking players who played against them in Serie A.
“Yes, it can be a small advantage, but the decisive thing is what happens tomorrow. Many times in a game like this it is about small details, the way we had on the day,” he said.
