Betrayed by Xhaka
What did you think about the draw?
Honest? That was the opponent I had last wished for. But I hope that by the time of the match we'll be further ahead thanks to two wins. Then we can tackle the game without pressure.
Group G is complicated. Little is known about Cameroon and Brazil is nominally extremely strong.
Oh yeah. Gabriel Jesus, who plays with me at Arsenal, a top man, is now in the squad, I was extremely happy about that, but probably more as a backup player. He plays incredibly well, I see him every day. That says it all: They can field three top teams.
And yet you have big plans against Brazil. Let's look back again: You made headlines in the media again in 2021: First you went to the tattoo artist without a mask before the tournament and then bleached your hair...
We were criticized. All the media wrote badly about us, so Manuel Akanji and I wanted to provide a bit of a distraction... (laughs). Jokes aside. That was thoughtless and caused unnecessary commotion. So one thing is clear: no tattoo before the World Cup. No hair coloring in Qatar. Although, your color, Steffi, I would have to try again.
An older woman at the next table leans over to Granit Xhaka: “I just found out that you are Swiss. I was in Switzerland the other day! In Zurich and Lucerne.» Xhaka: «It's great that you like Switzerland. But Zurich and Lucerne are not really my thing. My city is Basel!» – «Oh, Basel, I don't know. But if you think so, then I'll go to Basel next time."
Basel. Good keyword: You recently tweeted about FC Basel and criticized David Degen in it.
No wait, I wasn't criticizing Dave. He knows that I wouldn't do something like this in public, so I would call him directly. I was just annoyed about the performance of the team in this game against FCZ.
His brother Taulant was not on the lineup.
This has nothing to do with Tauli. I watch every FCB game whether my brother is there or not. Except for today against Sion, I can't watch because I'm sitting here with you. How much is it?
0:0
OK.
Will you ever return to Basel?
That is hard to say. Actually, I would like to play with my brother at FC Basel. It would be nice. But I still have two years of contract with Arsenal and I still feel very good. I can also imagine it ending here. After seven years, London has become a kind of second home.
