In the absence of Jaka, Switzerland's captain against Spain

Captain Jaka will be absent against Spain because he is suspended, so the captain's tape will be transported to the other Kosovar, the Shaqiri side.

Liverpool star who scored two goals in the group stage to send Switzerland to the 1/8th of the final, where the helvetic team wrote down the story by reaching the first quarterfinal in a grand tournament after winning the penalty against France will wear the captain's cap for the first time in his national career.

It will be an emotional match for the 29-year-old, who is Switzerland's best goal scorer in big tournaments with 7 goals.

Speaking before Friday afternoon's match, Shaqiri said, “was a difficult match against France. I worked hard in defense with Harris. I'm going to try to give myself everything for the team even in the fight against Spain. If I punch or assist, it'll be fine. But I'm not weak if I don't sign or assist. ”

Asked about the captain's tape, football player from Gjilan said: “is my pride to lead the team tomorrow. ”

We'll play our normal game. If we give 120 percent of ourselves, all is possible”, he added.

With two goals against Turkey, Shaqiri became the first Swiss player to score in four successive shifts, at the 2014 World Cup, Euro 2016, the World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020.
