Set to play England in the semi-finals, Kwadwo Duah is the first English born player to score at the European Championship this summer.
Duah, who grew up in Islington, London, moved to Switzerland at two and is a passionate Chelsea supporter. Duah notes Cole Palmer’s performance from his previous season even though he had minimal playtime.
With never having reached a tournament semi-final, Switzerland boasts an eight-match perfect run. In the last sixteen they knocked out Italy and impressed against Germany. Duah thinks the England of Gareth Southgate will not undervalue them.
Duah, who was born to Ghanaian parents, has had an amazing experience. Last year, he joined Ludogorets from Nuremberg and was called upon unexpectedly for the Swiss team. For his family, his goal against Hungary was a proud event.
Granit Xhaka, the captain of Switzerland, is supposed to play even with a thigh problem. Duah appreciates Xhaka’s leadership and winning mindset.
Fluent in English, French, German, Italian, and Italian, Duah is an engaging person who loves comic books. Duah feels Xherdan Shaqiri’s goal earlier in the competition outshines Jude Bellingham’s overhead kick as Switzerland gets ready.
Duah’s confidence and skill will be vital as Switzerland marks yet another historic event in search of triumph.
