Liverpool and Switzerland legend: Jaka is Albanian, doesn't deserve to be captain

The Festival of Eagles by Granit Jaka and Gerdan Shaqiri has not yet been forgotten in Switzerland.

Despite being sentenced by FIFA and much debate arose, the issue is not over.

Finally, for the Swiss team, its former player, Stépan Henchoz, has spoken. In an interview with Blick, he has said that the Italians played poorly in Russia, especially Sweden, until he criticized the action by Jaka and Shaqiri, albinfo conveys.

“Stephan Lichtsteiner will probably not be in the first formation, but who should wear the captain's tape. Yan Sommer or Granit Jaka, but I prefer Somemer. Jaka plays regularly in Arsenal, but the captain of Switzerland must be Swiss. I'm against Jaka becoming captain. Jaka does not represent Switzerland or Switzerland. He didn't even sing the national anthem. I would slap him when he doesn't sing the national anthem”, says former Liverpool football player.

If Petkov decides that Jaka becomes captain, it would be a problem. Footballers like Sommer, Schaar or Lichtsteiner who have traditionally represented Switzerland would feel left out. Even fans themselves would no longer see Switzerland as the team representing”, he added further.

Some “players say they are eager to play for Switzerland. Why, because they secure a good contract after the World? I don't want them singing hymns like South Americans or Italians, but at least feel them? Even Petkovic doesn't sing it, and he's not a model to take”.

Former Swiss defender says the coach has failed to hold the team together.

He has also criticized Behram. I think the coach gave him a lot of power, and it's known that one day this will happen. Coach asked himself? Who has more power? Me or him?

The former Swiss captain has not left Shaqiri unpublished, saying he missed Bayerni's case. He didn't understand what was required of him. He did his training, went to Switzerland, visited by friends. Maybe he had a kebab. Then he returned to Munich for two and a half hours. If you drive for two and a half hours, that's not good for your leg muscles. The muscle injuries were not bad luck. You are unfortunate when an opponent hurts you, but you have to look after your body”

Stépan Henchoz played in Xamax, Hamburger, Blackburn, Liverpool, Celtic, Wigan, Blackburn. He also played 72 matches for Switzerland.
