Ziegler Seeks Swiss Spot

Swiss midfielder Reto Ziegler sees his transfer from Tottenham to Wigan Athletic as a chance to audition for a bigger role: a spot on Switzerland’s World Cup squad this summer.

“For a young player like me in a World Cup year, I am just anxious to play and to show everyone, the Wigan fans, the Wigan manager and the Switzerland manager Kobi Kuhn, what I can do,” Ziegler said in this article.

Ziegler’s stay in welcome might be made easier by having fellow Swiss Stephane Henchoz as a teammate.

One of the coolest things about being in a World Cup year is seeing players hungry for an opportunity to play. Guys like Ziegler are eager to go just about anywhere to show their home nation’s manager that they have the skills in takes to play in Germany this summer.
