An immovable figure at the heart of the defense, the player delivered high-flying performances to lock down access to the Swiss goal. These international friendly skirmishes, played against strong opposition, served as an ideal springboard to forge the cohesion of a team that was about to return to the final phases of major tournaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePatrick Müller: The Boss of the Swiss Defense\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the peak of his career and multi-crowned with Olympique Lyonnais, \u003cstrong\u003ePatrick Müller\u003c\/strong\u003e was the true leader of the Nati's defense with his calm and intelligence.
