Switzerland coach Petkovic: Italy ran all over us | OneFootball

Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic admits Italy deserved their 3-0 Euros win on Wednesday night.

Petkovic admits Italy ran more than his Swiss team on the night.

“We played against a very strong Italy," he said at a press conference. “They created problems for us, we weren't at 100 per cent.

“We conceded goals, we weren't sure and that's not normal for us.

“I already said yesterday that Italy don't arrive from the Turkey game, they come from a path of 29 consecutive games unbeaten, with players who have great quality.

“If they continue like this, they have a chance to finish in the top four. There are some other teams competing, then it depends on the individual matches."

Petkovic pointed out that the Swiss made 'obvious' mistakes against a ruthless Italy.

“It seems obvious to me. It would be enough to ask the commentator," he said. “Everyone made mistakes, it wasn't a match at 100 per cent.

“If we had been, it would have been different.

“Italy ran six kilometres more than us, it's a physical and mental fact. They have travelled at a high pace, that's where they made the difference."
