Okay, zommer!

The goalkeeper of the Switzerland national team with his game of euro overshadowed all the eminent colleagues

Jan Zommer did not save his wonderful team from departure in the quarterfinals. He did not commit a miracle, reflecting only one post -match penalty, but it was necessary to reflect at least three, pulling the balls of nine. It so happened that the guys did not support him. But all the same, Zommer is already the best goalkeeper of Euro 2020, because it was the 32-year-old goalkeeper of Menhengladbach Borussia that became the main hero of the Victory over the current world champions, and it was Zommer who kept the Swiss in the game as much as the post-article foam.

This euro is not a goalkeeper championship. Yes, Jordan Lee Pickford did not miss, but the England team plays severely, almost excluding goalkeeper exploits. Yes, the great Manuel Neuer acted reliably, but not standing out against the background of the rest of unstable Germany. Yes, the Italian Dzhanluji Donnarumma is good, but it was not yet required from it.

And from the zommer it was precisely that it was precisely that overhead, including the last match of the group stage with Turkey. The day before, two events happened - the Swiss in Rome crushed Italy crushing, and in Cologne a second daughter was born at Zommer. Yang flew to the family, could not have time to decide, but managed to return even to the pre -match training. The Swiss passed Turkey, then the time came to rise above themselves.

A crazy flack with the French is a feat of the entire Switzerland team, but if it were not for the goalkeeper, they would not have saved two balls played out in the end, because the pogba, Mbappe and the company were angry and could not help but could not beat. They did not score, because Zommer took everything, personifying absolute reliability. The fact that the French foams beat the French, not at all, did not affect the state of the zommer at all-he worked by blow without guessing, and caught his only chance, forcing him to lower the head of Kilian Mbappe and terrified the fans of the French national team.

Such victories are worth a lot and take a lot. After them, the deliberate outsider is usually inferior to a less eminent opponent - the second peak of the take on the sensation of the peak, and then slowly down, will understand everything. Sometimes there is still enough inspiration, but there is no longer enough strength, but most importantly - the players do not believe that they can repeat the impulse that has already glorified them.

The wards of Vladimir Petkovich, surprisingly, was enough for everything, and contrary to everything. Until a certain point. The Spaniards came out charged and, unlike the French, did not show neglect, but crushed. The Swiss, having missed at the very beginning from their own defender, did not save again, and recouped by Sherdan Shakiri's efforts. And after the removal of Romo Froiler for a rude tackle, the pupil of Basel, Jan Zommer, again became a super -healing face. I was most surprised that, as in the previous meeting, the zommer was not outwardly in the courage and did not portray any special establishment-on the contrary, he was a model of calm, planning on the line and fearlessly rushing into the thick of the goalkeeper. He almost pulled out this incredible match.

If his partners suddenly did not realize that the historical medal chance was more close than ever. And their legs first jacket - not from fatigue, but from the awareness of a close victory.

I won’t leave the stone in them, and I will take off the hat in front of the zommer.

To win, you need to play to the end-just like the left field with a high-raised head zommer left the field in St. Petersburg. To fight like the Italian defender Leonardo Spinacol, who was carried away from the field on a stretcher in the second quarter -finals of Belgium - Italy at the “Allian Arena” in Munich. The Belgian “academics” also lost because they did not learn the most difficult of the sciences - to win science, giving all their strength and even more.

The class without this is only a skill. And this is not enough.
