It’s appetizers time in the national team. However, only in terms of public Relations. This is not from experience the parade-discipline of the major Swiss football teams. This week, rargemacht player and coach, especially. It was the wish of Vladimir Petkovic .

The coach : “We must make no false step”

Full concentration on the work, so wanted it to be the national coach. Therefore, there are only two players, ten minutes of talking from the Monday after each Training session maybe. And the Wednesday date on which the footballer frequently, longer Interviews, fell away.

Two games still in the EM-qualification. Today is Friday against Georgia in St. Gallen (kick-off 20.45 in the Ticker). On Monday in Gibraltar. In the best case, Switzerland will be enough of a draw. For sure in the finals with four points. And it is even possible – but very unlikely – that Switzerland is already on Friday evening as the Euro participants. If Gibraltar scores in Denmark. And Switzerland, Georgia, fails.

but Now it’s Thursday afternoon. Vladimir Petkovic sits in the media room of the Kybunparks of St. Gallen. Behind the window the A 1 rushes. The coach says: “We must make no false step.” What does he mean also that he would experience no Shaking and Muddling through in the next few days.

Of Association It at least 10 million Euro

the lure of Switzerland Creates the qualification, must vacate the Swiss football Association (SFV) space in the vault room. Overall, the Uefa distributed € 371 million to the 24 participants. In France in 2016, there were still 301 million.

For the SFV is a financially nothing is more important than the national team. It plays well, it’s good for him. Currently, Credit Suisse has extended as the main sponsorship partner of their contract, which alone brings in about five million francs annually. 2018-generated the SFV, the highest income through sponsorship packages (18.7 million), the world championship (17.6 million), TV rights (11.7 million) and member contributions (6.4 million).

to Qualify Switzerland for the Euro 2020, it can expect a net revenue of at least EUR 10 million.

• 9,25 million euros by Uefa as a Antrittsgage.

• 1.5 million for victories in the group 0.75 million to play for a draw.

• 2 millions of in addition, the eighth is the final value.

• 3.25 million in the quarter final, which is the big goal.

And so it goes on and on. The European champion will be able to import 34 million euros.

From the world Cup finals in Russia remained the Association after deduction of all costs – especially for travel and in-game bonuses – 3 million Swiss francs. The tournament receipts are crucial in order to stay from children’s football to the A-national team competitive. A 2-year cycle without qualification for European championship or world Cup, the SFV could cope with. He can’t do it twice in a row at the finals, he would have to review its expenditure.

The player : Secret bonuses that aren’t so secret

the national team Is not successful, also a Trainer and a player too short. Petkovic should receive according to the NZZ in addition to his annual salary of one Million francs in a half-a-Million premium, if Switzerland is playing at the EM. The bonuses of the players were earlier announced to the public. Now you are to remain a secret, but really not able to do. It is gossipy in the football business.

In the qualifiers for Russia 2018, there were pro established players and win 10 000 Swiss francs for the world championship Ticket was awarded to each player per use, and a further 10 000 Swiss francs. The Figures are likely to be in this campaign in a similar way. The premiums for the Euro 2020 have yet to be negotiated. Experience has shown that flows for about a third of the net revenue to the players, if the team reached at least the quarter-finals. You will fail in the group stage, there are likely to be significantly less money.

The final : 12 cities, and the largest games in London

more than 60 years after the first European championship in 1960, the tournament takes place in 2020, in 12 cities between Bilbao and Baku, semi-finals and Final will be played in London. As the game locations are so confusing in the qualification mode. Directly to the final round, the two top-ranked teams in all ten qualifying groups. The remaining four places will be in the Playoff, the Nations League, but only in March. Switzerland remains behind the entrance, should you import now, the necessary points.

Who is it now already too complicated, jump to the next section. Who is more astray like it’s still something users, this should be given to: The EM groups will be drawn at the end of November in Bucharest. Theoretically. Because depending on the winners in March-Playoff changes in groups, and game plans are possible. The Uefa officials like to emphasize that Sport and politics have nothing to do with each other, to prevent conflict parties to take each other.

The list : Eight players are missing Switzerland

Schär, Shaqiri, Embolo, Freuler, Gavranovic, Mehmedi, Drmic and making the absence of the national team in these days of hurt. Lichtsteiner plays in Augsburg only partially, Rodriguez in Milan even more, and the Xhakas future at Arsenal is uncertain, since he has created as a Captain with the audience. Two wins should still be against the numbers 90 and 196 in the world rankings. Petkovic says he has experienced Xhaka recently as always in the national team, and adds, Xhaka was one of those players, the two took a step back forward.

In terms of Georgia warns Petkovic before the enemy counter-attacking game and the Standards. But that doesn’t change the fact that he expected on Friday, the first three of six points. And before he gets up and adopted, promulgated, he still researchers: “Our ambitions are unlimited.”
