BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Switzerland's extraordinary comeback to eliminate world champions France from the European Championship on Monday drew superlatives from both coach and captain after their penalty shootout success. “No normal side would have come back from 3-1 down against the world champions,” said Petkovic, who equalled the record for the most matches in charge of the Switzerland team. “I’ve always said this team deserved a lot more than you can read," he told the post-match news conference. They said we were arrogant but I can guarantee you one thing, we really wrote a history. “I will be asking for the same from them again,” he said of their quarter-final with Spain in St Petersburg on Friday.
