Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina drew 1:1 last Friday, and the same result was recorded only a day later by the teams of Switzerland and Qatar.
Therefore, the matches of the second round will give us answers to many questions. Canada-Qatar and Switzerland-Bosnia and Herzegovina meet.
We are certainly focused on the duel with the Swiss, who are preparing for this match as if it were the final of the World Cup.
This is evidenced by the fact that they hired a “spy” from our country, who scouts even the smallest details of the opponents of this selection.
It is about Adnan Aličajić, who is a native of Bihać, and who has been living and working in Switzerland for many years.
His mission is clear – to collect every possible detail about the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. From tactical ideas and interruptions, through the way the team is positioned on the field, all the way to how Edin Dzeko takes penalties and who replaces him when he is not in the lineup.
“We must know everything about the opponent. We must not miss any detail,” says Aličajić.
In addition to following the matches live, Aličajić spends hours analyzing videos, reading Bosnian media and following social networks in order to discover possible information about injuries, changes in the composition or new ideas of the coach.
“I even check social networks in Bosnia to find out if a player is training or not, and if there are certain changes in the lineup,” he revealed.
His job lasts until an hour before the start of the game, when he receives the official lineup of the opposing team. Then he quickly analyzes possible surprises and information that could be useful to the Swiss professional staff.
The match between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be played on Thursday, June 18 at 21:00 our time at the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles.
