The Swiss Football Association and Kuhn have asked the media to respect her privacy but the coach said: "I was relieved to learn that her condition is under control now, that she is not in a life-threatening condition and that she has been given a very good prognosis." Kuhn also insisted that the situation will not impede with his work with the team. "I am here with all of my head, stomach and heart," he said. "I will be able to do my work and will not need any cover. It is in no way the case that I will not be 100 per cent available for my work with the team." 師母在國家隊進駐旅館的同時被緊急送往醫院治療 瑞士足協要求各家媒體克制一下，不要去騷擾病人 孔恩說：「我很欣慰我家老婆的狀況穩定下來了，而且正在穩定恢復。」 雖然家事煩心，但是孔恩認為自己不會因此而分心，他說：「我全力以赴。」 Young side While Switzerland have two more years experience since their 2006 FIFA World Cup finals appearance, Kuhn was at pains to note the youth of his side. "I don't know if we are stronger than we were back then at the same stage – that's two years ago and now is now," he said. "All I know is that I am confident that we will start performing at the right time. We will see a compact team effort on Saturday in the tournament's opener." The Switzerland coach also pointed out that even though it "would not be wrong" to bill Portugal as Group A favourites, "it is a very tight group where anything can happen". Kuhn said his side would do their best "and then we will see if this is good enough". 自從2006世界盃後已經過了兩年，瑞士這批青年軍又有怎樣的表現哩？ 孔恩說：「兩年前是兩年前，現在是現在、、、 我唯一可以肯定的是我們會在開幕時有所表現，因為我們會用全副精神應戰開幕賽！」 Injury concerns Midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta and central defender Patrick Muller are still in doubt for Saturday's game against the Czech Republic. Barnetta has not recovered from a left ankle injury sustained in training. "I have to be prepared to play without him, and we can play without him," said Kuhn. "He is not at 100 per cent right now but I am positive looking ahead to Saturday – there is still time for him." Muller has just returned to action after recovering from torn cruciate ligaments and looked a little shaky in Friday's 3-0 win against Liechtenstein. "He is not where he should be at the moment, but that goes for other players as well and luckily there is still time left," said Kuhn. 不過，巴內塔和穆勒能否在開幕戰上場還是個問題 孔恩說他已經做好了缺少這兩位重點球員的準備，但心裡面還是充滿了樂觀期待 Finishing touches The performance against Liechtenstein was not greeted with universal acclaim, but the coach insisted there was still time to make improvements. "We always have problems when we are forced to take command of a game, but we will now concentrate fully on the Czech Republic game and I believe that the hard work in these last days will improve our team-spirit and our solidarity," the 64-year-old, who will be replaced by Ottmar Hitzfeld after the finals, concluded. 雖然對列支敦斯登的友誼賽內容不盡理想，但孔恩還是保持著積極態度 他相信他麾下的青年軍團會展現高度的團隊合作 讓他在執教國家隊的最後戰役裡有個完美的落幕 -- ██ ▂▂▂▂▂ █ ◣ ▄ 【★ ██ I▓I █████ ◆▄ ██ ▆▆▆▆▆ █ ◤ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄EURO 2008 ▄ ◎ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ █████ ▄▄▄▄▄6/07-6/29 ▄ --
