The impossible made possible. Borussia striker Josip Drmic has made it into the final squad of the Swiss national team for the approaching World Cup (14.6.-15.7.) In Russia .

In the fourth part of our series “Gladbach’s World Championship Foal”, the 25-year-old talks about a childhood experience in terms of the World Cup, which he has not forgotten until now. Josip once predicted “artistically” a bitter endgame bankruptcy of Germany.

“I was only ten years old when I painted pictures with a friend at home in the days leading up to the 2002 World Cup finals. Of course we mainly painted soccer motives. On a picture I painted the two teams, so Brazil and Germany, written a result – 2: 0. When my friend pointed it out to me after the final, I was baffled. At that time I was also a big Ronaldo fan, “said Drmic in the” Foal Echo “.

With painting final result “pre-oracle”

Ronaldo had shot in the valley of tears and the “Selecao” to the 5th star in Yokohama City (Japan) by a double pack Kahn, Neuville, Klose & Co. That Drmic now, after he could avert the impending career end (cartilage damage in the knee), meets in Russia in the first group match (17.6.) Of his Swiss, of all people with Brazil on an opponent, whom he had once “pre-painted” the world title, is a story that only sport can produce. Looking at the new supertournament, Josip says, “I’m glad I’m healthy right now, that I’m fine. That, after my long ordeal, I showed everyone what I am capable of. Everything that comes to me now is a positive experience more. Of course I would like to stand against Brazil on the pitch. I will offer,

“Great quality” in the Swiss national team
Drmic is convinced that Switzerland can be trusted at the World Cup, even against Brazil. “We have a very high quality in the team and we do not have to hide against any opponents. Especially against the big teams we have shown a great statistic in the past years – that says something. We are not so presumptuous and put us on a par with teams like Germany or Brazil. But we have something to show. ”

Josip: “We Swiss know what we can do”

Oracle does not want the adult Drmic this time before the World Cup. “How far Switzerland can go – I’m not concerned with that. I let everything come to me. We have respect, but we also know what we can do. I’m looking forward to big names – without fear. “If Drmic succeed in Russia in the end even a goal, his personal miracle story would be hard to top.
