KALININGRAD, Russia (Reuters) - Switzerland may not be on the World Cup Easy Street after a draw with mighty Brazil but coach Vladimir Petkovic said on Thursday he believes his team is headed down the right avenue as they prepare to face Serbia in a Group E clash.

For Petkovic, World Cup openers appear to be something akin to a tourist landing in a new city where after awhile you are either feeling a bit lost or you discover you are going in the right direction.
