Blerim Dzemaili he is an old acquaintance of Italian football and knows well the difficulties there are in facing a national team like ours. In an interview given to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe midfielder spoke like this: “We have ‘grown tremendously’. In the pre-European Championship it was not clear how much it could evolve. Then, from the start of the tournament, we saw a self-confident, solid team, with a certain identity and with a midfield with quality and strength”.
Freuler, Aebischer, Ndoye. Switzerland is betting hard on blocking Bologna.
“The first one has started to show who he is, a certainty. The second one is intelligent, he starts from the left to get into the field to do what he does best, the third midfielder. He knows how to adapt, that’s his great quality. Ndoye is the real surprise, I’m not surprised by his last games though because he knows how to create, finish, beat the man. He’s very strong”.
Which footballers do Italy envy?
“I love people like Zaccagni or Chiesa. They should play as much as possible, they skip the man. I would have also called Orsolini, in the last 30′ Italy were crazy. Spalleti is one of the best and will have already studied moves and countermoves, the Switzerland will have to be careful, but if the Azzurri play with the handbrake on they will have a tough time.”
