Swiss fans have taken Breel Embolo to their hearts. No other Swiss national team player has ever had his own fan song, “Oh Embolo, oh Embolo”, sung to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight. So there is a sense of irony that the Borussia Mönchengladbach striker, who has a loose approach to rules, spent time in his formative years dishing out fines to footballers in an apprenticeship at the Northwestern Switzerland Football Association. In 2019, Embolo, who is advised by the older brother of Liverpool’s Xherdan Shaqiri, joined Swiss teammates Yann Sommer, Nico Elvedi, Michael Lang and Denis Zakaria at Borussia-Park.
