In the early morning of November 29, Beijing time, Switzerland will play Brazil in the second round of Group G of the Qatar World Cup.
Switzerland beat Cameroon 1-0 in the first round and are currently in good standing. In the face of "Five Star Brazil", Swiss coach Murat Jacquin looked relaxed and excited in an interview with the media, saying: "Playing against Brazil was a childhood dream of mine, and now I can play against them as a coach, I am really looking forward to it!" ”
Jacquin is also a former Swiss international, who made 49 appearances for the Swiss national team between 1994 and 2004, scoring four goals. After finishing his playing career in 2006, he became the manager of the Swiss team from 2021. It is worth mentioning that his younger brother Hakan Jacquin is also a famous Swiss international and represented the Swiss team in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, much more famous than his brother.
Jacquin revealed that the match is very important for his family, because his whole family is a true "Brazilian fan". Murat Yakin was born in 1974, the year Brazil had won the World Cup for the third time; His older brother, Brent Jacquín, grew up in the glory days of Brazilian football. Brent, born in 1953, has fully witnessed the Brazilian team winning the Remet Cup three times (1958, 1962 and 1970), so Jakin's mother, who is a "super fan" of the Brazilian team, even gave her eldest brother Brent a nickname - Pele. Brent was also a player when he was young, and he was called "White Pele" by the Swiss when he played.

Jacquin says that the influence of his family led him to a strong interest in Brazilian football, "When I was a student, I once gave a speech at school, and I chose the theme of Brazilian football's superstar. ”
Perhaps because of this dual sentiment, after Switzerland ended their clash with Cameroon, Jaquín was looking forward to the dialogue with Brazil. In an interview with the media, Jacquin believes that the Brazilian team's attack is excellent, which is why the absence of superstar Neymar does not affect them much. However, Jacquin also stressed that the Swiss team will tailor tactics for the Brazilian team to try to beat the opponent and get the right to qualify from the group in advance.
