🎥 ‘I brought it on’: Xhaka explains gesture after criticism row

🎥 ‘I brought it on’: Xhaka explains gesture after criticism row After the opening draw against Qatar, there was a lot of unrest among the Swiss. Granit Xhaka then spoke out critically and was met with a great deal of media backlash. In the 4-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Swiss captain scored and did not miss the chance to comment on the events of the past few days with a hand gesture. Speaking to Magenta TV, the 33-year-old explained his provocation.  "There is always a lot of unrest around me, a lot is written - and from my side, it is provoked a little as well," he said. "Maybe people could also simply be proud of a player who has already played so many matches for the national team? But that's fine with me, what matters to me is what happens on the pitch: that the team stands behind me, that the coach stands behind me," Xhaka said.  This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
