Philippe Senderos - EURO2008

Painful start of Euro 2008 for the national team. The Switzerland lost 1-0 against the Czech Republic.
The pain is also the exit due to injury of Alex Frei, shortly before half-time. Medical test later in the evening revealed a partial tear of ligaments left knee. Frei is out for the rest of the competition.

Reactions of Philippe Senderos:
"We knew it would be difficult. There are three big teams in front of us in this group, it was necessary to deliver a great match, it's what we did. It was important to play well, but dominating doesn't mean winning... We're disappointed. And we lost our captain, top scorer, it hurts.
Wednesday is already a final for us. Without putting too much pressure, we said we must save face in this Turkish team."
