Attack / Defence Awareness Card: BalancedINFO:Alain Sutter was former Swiss footballer and one of the most talented players in history of Swiss football. He mostly played on the left side in midfield and attack but also in the middle as attacking playmaker which Ottmar Hitzfeld was the first to use him on that position. Sutter was very fast and skillful player with fantastic crosses from the left flank producing numerous assists. Surely one of the most naturally gifted players ever in Switzerland. Sutter began his career in 1985 with Grasshoppers Zurich, one of Switzerland's most storied clubs. After spending the 1987–88 season on loan to Young Boys Bern, he was ready to take his place in the Grasshoppers first team, where he remained until the 1993-1994 season, when he decided to move to Germany to play with Nuremberg. After Sutter's impressive performances during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, Germany's most successful club, Bayern Munich, quickly signed the midfielder where he played for one season, before moving again this time to Freiburg. In 1997 he transferred to Major League Soccer in the United States, where he signed for the Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas). He played one season in Dallas but his tenure there was cut short when, during training in early 1998, he stepped awkwardly in a hole of the practice field (the Burn was using the facilities of a high school at that time) and the injury forced him to retire. He ended his career with 68 caps and five goals for the Swiss national team. Currently he works as an expert commentary when Swiss TV shows important matches.
