Challenge with Serbia, Swiss officials forbid Xhaka and Shaqiri to celebrate

The eagle celebration of Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri in 2018 when Switzerland faced Serbia caused quite a reaction in the media, as it was called a provocation by the Serbs.

Even in "Qatar 2022" the Helvetii will face the Serbian national team, as the eagle symbol has received attention again.

The director of the Swiss national team, Pierluigi Tami, has asked the Albanian football players of the Swiss team not to celebrate with an eagle at the World Cup.

"The World Cup is not only about the match against Serbia, even if we know how special this match is, given what happened in 2018. We don't want to make the same mistakes, we are here to play football and nothing other.

We do not want to send any political or religious message. We want to represent our values. One of them is respect. We respect other opinions. For me, it would be a mistake if we provoked someone with a gesture, regardless of the game," concludes the director of the Swiss national team, Tami.

It seems that Swiss officials are "preventing" the eagle from flying freely in such an important championship, but how long will Xhaka and Shaqiri be able to respect this request?!
