Xhaka and the Swiss team returned to the field and the public yesterday in Niederhasli.

The radiant weather, the dazzling smile. We can bet that Ulisses Garcia would not have hesitated to return to the Swiss team two days earlier, he who has not worn the national jersey for almost two years (even if he had been recalled in June, without playing ).
But the postponement of the start of the selection camp until yesterday, after the match against Israel, initially scheduled for today, was postponed to November 15, did not offend him: “I took the opportunity to do some treatment in my club and then take a day off,” the left side of Young Boys was largely content.
“The reasons were above all sporting, we would not have been able to organize collective training on Monday and Tuesday.”
Pierluigi Tami, director of national teams
Mandatory rest. Was it really necessary? Couldn’t the Swiss team use these two extra days to work on their game, use this time so rarely available to the national teams?
Pierluigi Tami, director of the national teams, replied: “No, the reasons were above all sporting, we would not have been able to organize collective training on Monday and Tuesday.”
Recovery more important than training
The explanation? It’s Tami again who sticks to it, and who tries to be convincing: “Many players had played on Sunday, some of them in the evening. Recovery was more important than training. We are at a time of the season where there are more and more injuries, this risk should not be underestimated. And a day off in these cases is gold.”
Either. At a time when the burden placed on players is a theme that should not be overlooked, this could stand. Except that when counting the numbers only Garcia and Itten with YB, Bislimi and Steffen with Lugano, Xhaka with Leverkusen, Schär with Newcastle, Zeqiri with Genk and Mvogo with Lorient played on Sunday, often only part of the match. That’s only eight players out of 23. Worse, none of them were involved in the evening!
Does the explanation really hold? Everyone will have their own opinion. Yakin management got used to it
