the Central topic of conversation was the embarrassing final phase. 3:0 led Switzerland, as a Granit Xhaka has been replaced. That was about a quarter of an hour before the end. Without a Swiss Chef on the square in the game of 3:3 ended. However, coach Vladimir Petkovic was facing the charge to send a wrong signal to the team. Finally, Xhaka played great, scored the 2:0. Not a few in the stands thought that the Captain should be spared – the game seemed decided.
Petkovic said at the media conference after the Match, Xhaka suffered from adductor problems. This is the 26-Year-old confirmed on Wednesday evening. “I could not possibly play more”, it’s on the website of the Swiss football Association (SFV) quote. He had even talked in the break about a substitution: “But I already Rici (Ricardo Rodriguez, d. ed.) with back problems out there had to stay, I wanted to help the Team, as long as it just went.”
After his hit he had sent the sign in the direction of the bench, that he would soon be out, “The Coach sent after player to me, and asked how long it will go.” The dialogue has always been there: “I was just sending out the signal that Now it’s not working.” (fas)
