Euro 2025: the Swiss wounded remain pillars

In Switzerland, the reservoir of international level players is not inexhaustible, far from it. So when, before the European championship, the doctors of the national team had to confirm the plans of Luana Bühler, Lara Marti and Ramona Bachmann, it was a hell of a blow on the head. In all, it is a global experience of more than 210 games in the jersey with the white cross that would miss the Pia Sundhage coach!

But what is good with this famous “experience” is that it does not necessarily need to be present on the pre to inspire. The three injured in no way dropped their group, despite the frustration of seeing their team bringing down historic barriers without them. The players of Tottenham, RB Leipzig and Houston Dash remained and both Luana Bühler and Lara Marti celebrated the qualification as if they were on the ground at the Praille stadium.

“Lara, Luana and Ramona count a lot for this team,” said Viola Calligaris. We will never forget them. She will always be with us. It was nice to have them on the ground by our side and to be able to take souvenir photos with them. I hope they will come back soon. In the meantime, we know that they are our biggest fans. ” Before the opening match, all had also gone to hug Ramona Bachmann, the world’s leading world football football, who had gone to tread the lawn of Saint-Jacques with her baby.

“They are an integral part of the team,” said Marion Daube, the director of the Nati to the female. They are perfectly integrated and they are important for us. ” Their experience will also be too much time to gain momentum for this long -awaited quarter -final. Because against Spain in Bern this Friday (9 p.m.), no one gives the slightest chance to young Swiss. Especially not the bookmakers (9.5/1 Le draw, 19/1 the Swiss victory and … 1.1/1 Spanish success in regulation time).
