“I would have been surprised not to be whistled…” Despite the defeat in Leskovac, Granit Xhaka did not lose his sense of humor when asked about his feelings about the reception in Serbia.
“The match was fair play, I think. I would of course have liked to return to Switzerland with 3 points, he regrets. We haven’t done anything wrong since the start of this campaign. So, I remain convinced that we were the best team on the pitch in Denmark. But sometimes it seems too easy to score goals for us. It will be important tomorrow to achieve a clean sheet to reassure ourselves. To take care of the details that make all the differences.”
The captain returned to the episode of the penalty missed by Breel Embolo on Saturday in Leskovac. “It’s the coach who calls the hitters. There is a list of three names, he explains. On Saturday, Breel wasn’t on the roster, but he told me he felt ready to shoot him. We cannot throw stones at him. He won’t be the last to miss a penalty.”
Granit on June 9, 2019 in Guimaraes in the Nations League. The Basel man had succeeded in his strike. “I assure you: taking a penalty doesn’t scare me,” he says. We readily believe it.
