Switzerland has
produced a few number of world-class players. The 1924 Silver Medal Olympic
Game saw the first legend of Switzerland, Rudolf Ramseyer, a defender. Severino
Minelli succeed the status of Swiss legendary defender in the 1930s alongside the
prominent star Andrei Abegglen. Josef Hugi represents as the great Swiss
star in the 1950s. Stefan Chapuisat is concretely a world-class player
according to Kicker rating during the 1990s with outstanding contemporary
teammate likes Ciriaco Sforza .

Formation XI (4-2-3-1)
Explanation of
Formation
The team strategy
is ultra-defensive counter-attack. Sommer is stand as a first choice keeper.
Two full-backs Ramseyer and Minelli were mainly stayed on defensive area.
Sforza as a creative sweeper position is a leader in defensive line and would
be a key player to set the long ball in counter-attack game. Henchoz stands as
a stopper in front of him. Hermann would perform as a defensive
midfielder while Odermatt is responsible as deep-lying plyamaker. The four forwards
line is to dangerously coordinate with Fatton and Antenen as wing-forwards.
Chapuisat is positioned as a deep-lying forward to support Hugi who is a main
finisher.

I liked this training, I honestly hate the layout with three quarterbacks not use on any of my teams, good team.
ReplyDeletehello friend already prepared his Switzerland with 22 players?
ReplyDeleteSwitzerland doesn't have many legends. The number of players in this squad will be increased when a new Swiss legend, who is great enough in class rating (Prince Silver), will come true.
DeleteI think that, when their time on the pitch is over, players like Benaglio, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Ricardo Rodriguez and Xherdan Shaqiri will deserve a spot in a 22-men squad list.
DeleteValon Behrami is also an important footballer for Switzerland, but I guess that in a complete squad, Vogel would definetly play over him.
Let's wait 5 or 10 more years!
Lichsteiner is already deserved the 22-men squad and he has a potential to achieve first-eleven in the near future in replacement of Henchoz and Minellii will be moved to central defender in the case.
DeleteI have my team with 23 players can be of help, c'mon, goalkeepers: Secheraye, Ballabio, Pascolo. Defenders: Minelli, Henchoz, Ramseyer, Weiler, Geiger, Stierli, Lichtsteiner. Midfielders: Sforza, Odermatt, Hermann ,Vogel, Barberis, Ballaman, Sutter, M. Abegglen. Forwards: Fatton, Antenen, Chapuisat, Hugi, A. Abegglen.
ReplyDeleteHi, Alex, Yes, that is generally well-known players as you mentioned.
DeleteHow has your blog been developed aside from Bulgaria ? If you already made other nations, please give me your link.
hello Dearman how long what's your real name? well on my blog beyond the Bulgaria I did Germany also looks the link http://alexandrefiorelli.wix.com/mestresdofutebol#!sobre-1/c13l not published other nations for personal reasons, so I re-publishes them I I warn you.
DeleteHi, Alex, My name is Naratorn. I see you select Kaltz instead of Briegel, is easily acceptable.
DeleteNaratorn Hello, what's your country? Thailand? Although glad I liked and preferred Kaltz the time of Briegel because of their free kicks and I needed a right-back and I see Briegel more as a left-back despite Briegel also act as a right-back.
DeleteYes, Thailand.

You're absolutely a great sourcing and largely contribute a valuable information.
Deleteturkyilmaz is prince silver?
ReplyDeleteNo Oscar Engler? He has played 102 matches for Inter Milano and won the Italian title being their key player. That season , playing as a defender , he scored 10 goals in 16 matches leading the team to it's first Italian Championship ever.
ReplyDeleteI think it is hard to rate him when he played just a little more than 100 matches in club football and never played for his nation.
DeleteI Think Alexander Frei is missing
ReplyDeleteNot missed, His club career is disqualified especially looking at rating in Bundesliga.
DeleteAndré Neury?
ReplyDeletePlease tell me about his outstanding career. I don't found anything special.
ReplyDeleteBefore 1994 FIFA World Cup, 'France Football' published a special supplement named "Les 100 Héros de la Coupe du Monde" (The 100 World Cup Heroes). Neury was in there 72th place. According to this list, he is the 2nd greatest Swiss footballer in world cup(1930-1990) only lose to Andre Abegglen.
DeleteThen his performance in World Cup is creditable and he is a central defender that is not much competitive. Let me consider if he could be made a profile.
DeleteI think Roger Bocquet seems to be more deserved. At least he won more 18 caps and his name is more reputable but I know it is not enough to make accurate evaluation.
DeleteGood Selection. But you should change his photo. It's Ken Armstrong(England & Newzealand International)
DeleteAnd How about Köbi Kuhn? FC Zürich one-club man and appeared 63 matches for Switzerland.
DeleteAlso Claudio Sulser, Prolific Forward.
- 4 times Swiss League
- 1 time Swiss Cup
- European Cup Quarter Final with Grasshoppers
- 2 times Swiss League top Scorer
- 1 time European cup top Scorer
- 1 time Swiss Footballer of the year
As above source, Kobi Khun is ranked as 5th best Swiss player ever although I think the poll is largely biased. He is a Swiss legend but the current information is not enough to rate him in squad. Sulser is far from being considered.
DeleteAndre Abegglen is listed as the greatest player ever at the top whereas he isn't even in the first 11 and Hugi is listed as the greatest ever at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteWhich sources do you refer to that Abegglen is the best swiss player ever ?
DeleteI mean, the top of this very page, which states that:
DeleteThe Greatest Player Ever : Andre Abegglen
OK I have revised.
DeleteNaratorn, are you aware that goalkeeper Yann Sommer has achieved 9 international class by Kicker in only 6 seasons with Borussia Mönchengladbach? Don't you think he deserves a profile here?
ReplyDeleteHe has already got a better record than long serving goalkeeper Uwe Kamps for them. He surpassed the number of international-classes of Gladbach's all time star keeper Wolfgang Kleff, although the latter has 9 broad circle seasons too.
Fun fact: Sommer has been only rated in International-class (no broad circle) and he has been rated 9 out of 11 times available in his Gladbach career. He may go down as Switzerland's best keeper ever - even if I admit that I don't know much about Frank Sechehaye's greatness. Please tell me your opinion on this.
He is rated in 4.5 international-class seasons and I think he has played well i the second half of this season that will let him have collected 5 seasons but it is even more interesting that player should play very well in small league (likes Switzerland) until in the last season before moving for the club in the top league. I'm also not knowledgeable on Sechehaye who is generally regarded as the best Swiss keeper ever. I think I will have sometime ask swiss football expert that is rare to find as well.
