On the threat of the Nati captain: what does Granit Xhaka think?

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Of course: Granit Xhaka is a footballer who also thrives on his emotionality. It makes him strong and, as Swiss football now knows, it is part of his personality. If he comes under fire on the field, Nati’s captain will be a few percent better. No question.

Another topic we don’t need to discuss: that Xhaka is a leader. Whether in Gladbach, at Arsenal or with the national team: sooner or later he became captain everywhere. At Leverkusen he is the undisputed leader. This is no coincidence, but shows the respect he receives from coaches and colleagues.

And then he does something like that again. It could be to Granit Xhaka’s advantage to stand up for his brother Taulant. It’s humanly understandable. But that way doesn’t work.

Making threats is not appropriate, especially for a national team captain. Xhaka also demands decency and respect when it comes to himself. Rightly so, he deserves it. But he should have this on his radar too.

With such actions he puts his association and his club in a negative light. At the very least, it is questionable whether he will help his brother when he feels forced to leave the club he loves, FC Basel.

Precisely because he demands decency and respect for himself, he should know better. It is all the more surprising that his horses have run away again. What is he thinking?
