So glad he said it. Lots of people getting sick of being lectured by millionaire footballers.
If Serbia knock Switzerland out of the World Cup that would be an absolute disaster for our Granit. It would knock his confidence, it can’t happen.
There’s a lot more riding on it now then if Swiss won today. To lose to Serbia and get knocked out by them is a double whammy.I mean, he'd be strongly disappointed to lose that game in any case. Even if we qualified today.
So, today didn't change much in that regard. He would recover anyway.
From a Switzerland standpoint if Serbia kept their lead today we'd be in the exact same situation. (-Cameroon having an outside chance). Point is we're still in charge of our own destiny, that's all that matter to me and I'm sure him too.

The same was riding on the same matchup in 2018. There was a lot riding on beating Turkey in 2020, there...
If you don't welcome the challenge, if you don't do and win what is necessary, you don't deserve to advance in the first place. I've not seen Xhaka think any differently.
As for what's personal for Xhaka about this match-up, that feeling is not going to change regardless of it being a important match or not. I'd think he'd be just as devastated. I'm sure @albakos or @Erlis can attest.
Yes, it will definitely be a high-pressure game with a lot of highly charged emotions riding on it.
Switzerland still have an advantage though as it is easier not to lose a game (Switzerland) than to actually needing to win it (Serbia).
Serbia have better forward players, but Switzerland is no slouch in defense, as it was evident in Brazil match. Serbia has a tendency to have mini-collapses in backline, so I am sure Embolo will be instructed to press their CBs to force turnovers.
I am sure that Xhaka would not have any problems if SMS was brought in to play for Arsenal.Never really thought about it with Xhaka being Albanian but reading this last page or so would that make the signing of SMS impossible? I can't think it would, but you don't know what goes through peoples' heads.
Absolute limbs mate.@albakos Parties and fireworks in Kosovo and Albania tonight I imagine
