On the eve of Switzerland's upcoming Euro Quarter-Final against England, Swiss striker Gubel spoke to the media, sharing his anticipation for the tournament, his appreciation for the fans, and a recap of his personal injuries.
Gubel began by talking about the upcoming showdown with England, stating that the match was completely different from the previous one against Italy, but that the Swiss team's goal was always the same - to leave their mark. He emphasized that no matter who the opponent is, the Swiss team will focus on themselves, which is their greatest strength. The team's performance has been excellent so far and they are confident of continuing their good form.
Speaking about the Swiss fans, Gübel was overwhelmed with gratitude. He thanked the fans who came from far and wide to support the team and said it was great to see so many people cheering for the team. The passion and support of the fans is what keeps the Swiss team going.
Looking back at the calf injury he suffered before the start of the Euros, Gumbel admitted that he was not aware of the severity of the injury at first. He revealed that the injury was sustained a week before the start of the Euros and at the time he wasn't sure how long it would take him to recover - it could have been a week, it could have been two weeks. However, after active treatment and rehabilitation, he eventually managed to come back from the injury, which was the most important thing for him and the team.
Speaking about his comeback against Italy, Gumbel described his feelings as "indescribable". He said that playing on the field is a completely different experience from sitting in the stands or on the bench and cheering. It's a great feeling when you're involved in the game yourself and helping your team win such an important game! He believes that this experience will inspire him and his teammates to continue to fight and achieve more in the upcoming matches.
