Beginnings in Münsingen and Bern

Bürki comes from Münsingen , a small town south of Bern . He initially enjoyed his football training at the local FC Münsingen , with whom his father Martin had already played in third class. He had also been a goalkeeper and remained clean for around 800 minutes in 1994. The 15-year-old Bürki then completed a trial training session at FC Thun , but was not accepted there. After a call from the youth goalkeeping coach of BSC Young Boys from the capital, he finally took his second chance. Although the young goalkeeper initially had concerns about failing again, his father motivated him to give it a try, which ultimately resulted in Bürki junior being allowed to play in the Young Boys' U16.

Patrick Foletti , goalkeeping coach of the national team , once said of his goalkeeper "Bürki has an above-average explosiveness, can keep his team in the game with strong saves on the line. In offensive play with his foot he has uncanny precision and sharpness. These are not all his Top quality, but certainly its strongest characteristics ".

Roman Bürki played five games for the Swiss U20 national team . He was nominated for the 2011 European Under-21 Championship in Denmark, but had to pass due to an injury.

Since May 2014 he has been a substitute goalkeeper in the squad of the Swiss senior team and was in the squad at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil , but was not used. On November 18, 2014, he made his debut in a friendly against Poland 2-2 .

Afterwards, Bürki stated that he did not want to play any more games for the national team for the time being in order to benefit his club career.

Private

Bürki's younger brother Marco is also a football player and plays as a central defender. Both got their enthusiasm from father Martin, who had also previously been active as a goalkeeper. The brothers' parents still live in Münsingen, where the father runs a heating company. In retrospect, the Swiss, who feels attached to his homeland despite moving to Germany, appreciates the solidarity in the small community.

After Bürki had had good experiences with a mental trainer at the age of 18 , he consulted him again in 2018.
