Jaka speaks big words before fights with Argentina

Speaking at a news conference in Kansas City, Jaka called on trusted collaborators and fans, stressing that Switzerland intends to write history with the qualifications in the semifinals for the first time.

I always dream of possible dreams of reality. If we want to accomplish them, we have to work hard, give everything and go beyond our limits. This is what it takes to defeat Argentina”, Jaka said.

On the other hand, Switzerland's telector, Murat Yakin, acknowledged that Leonel Messi's ban remains one of the biggest challenges, but he is convinced that his quadra is far too big for this duel.

We have many choices. We're playing as a team, we're going to exercise high pressure and we're going to get others to implement our plan on the ground”, Yakin said.

Messi joins this meeting as the best goalist of the eight-gore tour, however, Jaka believes the Voice could limit its influence.

It's impossible to stop for 90 minutes. But we must stay compact, close our eyes, and be intelligent. When the ball is in our possession, it cannot hurt us that much”, the Swiss captain said.

Yakin, meanwhile, confirmed that midfielder Johann Manzambi has failed to recover from the injury and will lose quarterfinal confronting Argentina. /Periscope/
