Patrick Fisher Wants No More ‘Hypocritical Targets’
Low groups should have been eliminated in the past few years, when the quarter-finals were set as the goal. “End hypocritical quarter-final goals,” says Fisher, the direction of the rally.
The bitter quarter-final bankruptcies of the last World Cup are still heavy on the Swiss coach’s stomach. Against Canada and Germany, the lead was ceded shortly before the end.
This should be avoided in the future – Patrick Fisher already has the recipe. “We have to keep our foot on the throttle until the end. We have to develop a killer instinct by the end of the game,” demands the Zug native.
