Statements - Turkey

Şenol Güneş (Coach): "This group of players will represent our country for the next five, maybe ten years. I have told my players. We have come a long way together. Sometimes you have to fail in order to win. Our players will learn that."

"The first two games have been an upset for us. We have not lived up to expectations. The game against Italy was understandable, but our performance against Wales really upset us. Switzerland is a difficult opponent. They have a good coach and quality players."

"We were not favorites before the tournament. We came here to work to be contenders in the future. We have a lot of young players. Sometimes small details determine results. My players will learn from their mistakes. I am proud of my players. They will bring a lot of good things to Turkish soccer. I have told them that as well."

Halil Dervişoğlu: "We still have a small chance to advance to the round of 16 and we have to give 100% against Switzerland. We owe it to our country and we will do our best to get a win."

Çağlar Söyüncü: "We regret the results, but we have one more game in the group. We would like to beat Switzerland, even if we can't qualify."

Statements - Switzerland

Vladimir Petković (Coach): "The most important thing is to be present. We have to improve what we can influence and - most importantly - win the match. With three points we have a real chance of progressing."

Steven Zuber: "I feel good. Everyone in the team is disappointed, not just the team, the whole nation is disappointed. It's okay to be disappointed, that happens in sport. We know what it feels like to be on the other side, and that's our goal: to be on the other side on Sunday."

Manuel Akanji: "I think we have a good chance to advance to the next round. With four points we would be in a good position. It also depends on other teams, what happens in other groups, but the only chance we have is to win the game and hopefully do something with the goal difference, and we'll see if that's enough."

Yann Sommer: "It will be a good game, because Turkey is a good team. They are very, very dangerous from set pieces and they have a lot of technical players. I think it will be an interesting game.
