“As a professional, I don’t have to understand or agree with all decisions,” Riola Xhemaili writes in an Instagram post. “What kind of professional would I be if I were happy right now?!” It is her job to accept the decision and derive motivation from it to develop and grow as an athlete and as a person. She will. The photo posted by Xhemaili speaks volumes. The resident of Solothurn stares into space incredulous and open-mouthed.
Two days before the last World Cup test in Winterthur against Morocco, national coach Grings unpacked the Xhemaili hammer. There is no place in the World Cup squad for the 20-year-old – despite 22 caps and two years of Bundesliga experience and a newly signed three-year contract with Champions League finalist Wolfsburg.
Personally, Xhemaili does not want to say anything about your World Cup elimination. Her advisor Philipp Degen to Blick: “Of course it was before Riola a huge disappointment. But we are now working it out in peace and wish the national team all the best and good luck at the World Cup.”
Decision causes controversy
The renunciation of Xhemaili also provides a topic of conversation within the scene. “I would have taken Riola for sure,” reports SRF expert Rachel Rinast, herself a member of the national team and a long-time teammate of Xhemaili until a few weeks ago. “She can make a difference in football.”
The team itself supports Inka Grings’ decision. “It is a decision by a coach that is very, very bitter and disappointing for everyone. But we as a team support the decision,” said defense chief Luana Buhler. Of course, they would continue to support the player. “She will have a great future. I hope she can see the disappointment as an opportunity to work on herself.”
The Nati must prove to Morocco on Wednesday that they can do without Xhemaili. The team is still winless in the Grings era. The German indicated that he rotated in some positions, “but we are not going to rotate the entire carousel”. In addition to captain Lia Wälti, Viola Calligaris, who was injured against Zambia, is also rested. More than 4000 tickets have already been sold for the match in the Schützenwiese.
