Jaka: I'm like red wine, I dreamt of playing with Taulant at Basel.

Granit Jaka is happy to be elected best footballer in Switzerland for the third time in a row.

Jaka, after the ceremony, has given an interview with Swiss media, citing the good form of Beyer Leverkusen and the realization of the dream to play along with Brother Taulant to Basel, conveys Clankosova.tv.

And pleasure. It's the reward for the hard work of daily life. You've got black days as a football player. If, like me in London, you're being reviled by over 60,000 people in stadium”, Jaka said.

“As soon as I entered the dressing room the first day, I felt: This is a good team, a good team spirit. We also have a fantastic coach in Xabi Alonso”.

Kosovo-born footballer has also talked about how his family reacted after returning to Germany.

Even though my wife is from Dusseldorf, she was against us leaving London. Of course, this made things even more difficult. However, it is not easy to leave this big city after seven years. Leverkusen offered me a long-term contract. And if things keep going the way they did, it was obviously the right decision”, Jaka says.

Jaka has also related what she learned from her experience in England at the Arsenal team.

I've learned a lot about mentality in England. I'm 31 now, not the youngest. But I'm like red wine always better”

Does this mean that fans at Basel can hope for a return to the end of their career?

When my contract with Leverkusen is over, I'll be almost 36. Let's see if I still want to play soccer. But playing back with Taulant and Basel's fan is a dream. And so far almost all my dreams have been realized”.

He was finally asked whether he would choose the champion title in Germany or the European Championship.

Uh, hard question! Let's put it this way: If I had one of the titles for sure, I would immediately sign”, Jaka concluded.
