Mehmedi criticizes Xhaka because of Nati-Zoff: “As a captain you are not allowed to give such an interview.”

The argument between Nati coach Murat Yakin (49) and his captain Granit Xhaka (31) also reverberates between the international matches. “The problem at the moment is that the power struggle is being played out publicly,” says former international Blerim Dzemaili (37) in the ‘Heimspiel’ program about Blue Sport.

His former FCZ and Nati colleague Admir Mehmedi (32) sees Xhaka as the reason for the public dispute: “It all started with Granit’s interview.” This refers to Xhaka’s statements after the 2-2 draw in the European Championship qualifier against Kosovo, in which he accused Yakin of insufficient training. “As a captain you are not allowed to give such an interview at the moment, because you then open yourself up to attack,” says Mehmedi. “Even though it was five minutes after the game.”

Dzemaili and Mehmedi can only guess where the differences come from. “I don’t think there have been any problems until the World Cup. “Something definitely happened that we don’t know about,” says Dzemaili. And further: “Two characters meet who will probably catch fire very quickly.”

Discussions after the European Championship qualifying

Dzemaili does not believe that Yakin will let Xhaka’s attacks pass by. That is why the matter must be clarified quickly by the association in view of the European Championships next year. “After the three qualifying matches in November, they will sit down together and discuss the future.”

Dzemaili does not want to predict who will ultimately be stronger. Exactly this: “Ultimately, granite has a lot to say. And if he’s the first to have a problem with the coach, that’s just how it works. If one goes, the others might go too.”
