Xhaka's sacrifice against England: I couldn't shoot the ball, but I

Granit Xhaka was one of Switzerland's most outstanding players in this European tournament, where the hellish national team was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

The footballer of Albanian origin, with the captain's armband, was returned to the key point in midfield by coach Murat Jakin.

To understand the sacrifice that Xhaka makes for the team, it is enough to listen to the statement after the match with England, where he revealed that he played injured.

“I can say now, on Monday I was diagnosed with a torn muscle fiber in my adductors. But I wanted to be there for the team and grit my teeth. I couldn't hit long balls or shoot at goal during the game. I went beyond my limits once again", said the midfielder.

Xhaka stated, among other things, that elimination in this form from the European Championship is sad and disappointing.

"The initial feeling is sadness and disappointment because we didn't deserve to lose like that. On the other hand, we can be proud of ourselves. From the first game to this one with England, we continued to improve and showed great character, great team spirit," Xhaka declared.

Looking at the great age on his shoulders, it can be said that this was also the last European for Granit Xhaka.

Switzerland was eliminated from Euro 2024 without a single loss in regular time. From the groups to the quarter-finals, the Helvetians recorded two wins and two draws, while they were only defeated on penalties by England.
