Here's what the Swiss had to say after losing to Spain

“The players grew from a task like today. We knew we weren't going to have much possession but we still fought together as a unit. We had a good combination of possession and some good offense. If we're lucky , we could have scored a point.”

“I think we have some competitive players now, so we can work on width. I also said before today's game that we have to work on efficiency. Players need killer instinct more. But players can't learn it in the national team To this point, but in their club.”

“With Miro Muhaim we probably have a new left-back now. That's a glimmer of hope. Vincent Siero is also able to start the game with a different diagonal than usual, the system depends on Players in good form. The players and I are very flexible.”

«It's such a shame. We had a great game and certainly deserved more. At least one point. We were punished hard all fall and certainly made too many mistakes of our own. But this is football and we have to give everything in the World Cup qualifiers so that we can go to the World Cup. “

«I can play multiple positions. That's why it's not a problem for me to play as a centre-back today. I've done it at Real Betis and Wolfsburg. Murat Yakin knew he could put me where he needed me. “

«This is a very difficult game for us. The Spaniard was awarded two penalties, the second of which ultimately decided the game. As a goalkeeper, no matter how many saves you can make, there's nothing you can do about it. Conceding goals irritates me and I wanted to keep a clean sheet today. “

“It's very important to keep a healthy competition between Gregor Kerber and myself. I think with today's performance I was able to help the team well. But of course I want to be number one.”

“When I get a chance, I have to take advantage and want to help the team. It's mixed emotions. This goal helped me go forward, but the second goal I conceded was on me. It failed in the end.”
