Granit Xhaka’s remarkable Arsenal redemption | Football Focus

Published

on



In 2019, Granit Xhaka’s relationship with the Arsenal fans reached rock-bottom. Nobody could have foreseen that he’d still be at the club in 2022 as captain, a firm fan-favourite and with his own chant. So, how did he turn it around? Let the man himself explain…

    I really do feel a sense of shame for the way fans treated Xhaka on the past… Even on his worst days… It was clear he was passionate about the game… It just came out in the wrong places… Very happy he's doing his niche and can shine now…

    Isn’t it amazing that the overseas players are far more polished in their speaking capabilities of English compared to most of the English players born in the U.K.

    “We’ve got Granit Xhaka, we’ve got Granit Xhaka” super pleased for him he fucking deserves it. I know they are all overpaid but you can see how hard he has worked to turn it around. Hope he is enjoying the fruits of his hard work

    Arsenal's young team could always use an attacking 30 year old Roy Keane.

  38. @colinclean46

    Plays at a ballon d'or level and I am not even kidding.

    Xhaka is a complete human ❀

  40. @chidiagborenow9477

    January 26, 2024 at 8:17 am

    As a man united fan, this is one of the most inspirational stories from people like him of all time. He went from a scapegoat to a cult hero, and I'm pleased Arteta has resurrected xhaka's career after being jeered by these alleged fans in 2019. I'm hoping 10 hag will do that to some of my current players, like lord Maguire

  41. @reinaldiabdillah4980

    Xhaka u very strong.. i love it..we love you xhaka

  42. @wilbertmatizha7571

    He is a Goooner at heart,we love you Xhaka

  43. @ordro107

    January 26, 2024 at 8:17 am

    Also it’s quite simple when Xhaka came Arsenal needed an axe type Defensive Midfielder. So he tried to be what the team needed, with Ozil still being the most creative and the “leader” or lack of
 It is only now Xhaka is finally playing more forward but still has great defensive quality and not like a virtuoso Attacking Midfielder
 he is unique!

    I almost cried when he says about his wife and the song.. so beautiful story

    You are a king Granit!!!
