Statements by SFV Secretary General Alex Miescher ("Do We Want Dual Citizens?") Cause irritation in Granit Xhaka. In an interview with the SDA, the star of Arsenal says that Miescher's statements "would have disappointed future citizens of the same age and current like me."
"The interview quickly made the tour of the national team, even during the World Cup and after my two-headed eagle, Alex came to see us and assured us that he would do anything to protect us – and three days after we left, such statements came from him, "said Xhaka, annoyed. I hear from his lines that he does not trust the double citizens to go to the borders of Switzerland. This goes directly to the address of me and a few others with two nationalities. It seems to me, as I said, that my Swiss colleagues and I will not go to the limit. Shortly after we suffered a bitter defeat in Russia, you do not do that.
Xhaka clarifies: "We are all Swiss and give everything to the Swiss Nati – each of us – because we all know and are grateful for what Switzerland has done for us and our families. My family roots are in Kosovo – like Breel Embolo in Cameroon, Manuel Akanji in Nigeria and Ricardo Rodriguez in Chile and Spain. The Swiss national team is composed today of 50 to 60 percent of double citizens or Secondos. Even our boss (Vladimir Petkovic) is a double citizen and gives blood and sweat to the national team. With this useless incursion Alex Miescher caused a lot of frowns, but also a lot disappointed. But I think that Alex has certainly questioned his comments about the Stone Age, which targeted dual citizens with Swiss nationality. "
That it is a lasting degradation of the minds of the Nati, asks the SDA. Xhaka's answer: "Oh, not at all, such nonsense exists from time to time, now we have to get ready for an EC and do more important things." Football is played in the field, and we have a team that must accelerate in 2020. "(red)
