Photos of the feelings of the players of our national team went around the world. Enthusiastic and sometimes teary-eyed Swiss women sang the national anthem after their quarter-final thriller against Russia. A 3-2 win in extra time after a 0-2 loss is pure ecstasy!
“We couldn’t stop believing the turnaround,” says star striker Lara Stalder. And some older players were reminded of the Olympic bronze games in Sochi. We knew there was only one hit and no one can stop us.”
Coach Colin Muller also admits after the quarterfinal win: “The emotions are so high at the moment, I’m incredibly happy for this team. It never gave up and always believed in winning. It’s been through the ages.” It’s a game.” Overtime heroine Laura Zimmerman still remembers the words after the semifinal, saying “the feeling after this hit is indescribable”.
