Happy to see Granit doing so well. Hope he can not only bring Leverkusen the title but go undefeated this season.
and also win the European league trophy
Sincerely I miss him, master feeder
It appears this league is not as competitive as the premier league.
Looks like they playing charity match.@@christophery8927
@@christophery8927 It isn't. The reason we gooners remember Xhaka so warmly is because Arteta moved him from 6 to 8, where he had very limited defensive responsibilities and didn't need to be so press resistant. He absolutely shone in that new role. He wasn't responsible for creating much, Ødegaard and Partey were, so Xhaka rocked on. Playing a kind of playmaker in Alonso's system isn't a stretch for him, coming as he did from a more restrictive Arteta's positional framework. In the EPL Xhaka would never play his role as described in this video. He's actually involved in the build up, but Florian Wirtz and Alex Grimaldo are much more integral to that part of the game. Grimaldo as the one impact wide player in a relational system (yes, it _is_ weird), and Wirth as a true #10.
I don't miss Xhaka at the Arsenal, Kai Havertz, his sort of replacement, is doing the job well. Someone I wish Arsenal would pick up, though probably Bayern will, is Wirth.
Still miss Granit ❤
Bro you all always blame him
Absolutely
@@whiteblackshorts3891 you know nothing of what we witnessed. His last 2 years were amazing. Because arteta found his position.
Wenger played him out of position for the premier league.
So did unai.
He had the most red cards since he got to the league with most errors leading to goals.
But since arteta came in.
He saw what no other manager saw and took away primary defensive roles from him.
He wasn’t the main CDM anymore.
He’s now the link between defence and attack. He won’t be the last defender, and he’s the first man in attack.
🥇25:73🕳
Hope we win 🥇 the league as he did there
I really like the way bundesliga do their analysis. A lot more in-depth than their English counterparts
Fact bro
It's cause their German lol.
Prem is a joke
Other leagues are a lot more impartial in contrast to prem punditry, why would a Yanited or Liverpool legend that played 600+ games for either club decipher a Tot'nam or Citeh midfielders impact?
@@Siithabisoyou are spot on
As an arsenal fan I feel proud seeing how xhaka perform in every game for leverkusen
This guy can play 1000 days and still be fit for the next match. His fitness is massively underrated
The quality of fitness and consistency are what helps the player teach on its peak, they are indermined qualities.
Arsenal fan here, people laughed at me calling him Xhaka Alonso in his Arsenal days, Im so Happy to see him thrive in Germany, can't wait for him to lift the Trophy
look had we started the season with him, we could be 6 points ahead by now. Xhaka is smart can see space
you were right to get laughed at
His last season for Arsenal was his best in the club. We sold a player in good shape and that's good for everyone. Arteta wanted to change the style, Xhaka wanted to play, Bayer wanted experienced midfielder. Everyone is happy.
No bro. Arteta asked Xhaka to stay. Xhaka proved himself worthy of fans respect and left on a high. He always liked Germany and he did what is best for his family. Mad respect to the man.
He is Arsenals batman. He had to taunt the fans. Our fans didn’t deserve him.
I realised it when I saw the documentary.
But I always loved him even when he was on the low.
@@rohannatu Xhaka literally said Arsenal didn't offer him a a new deal which is why he left
Granit Xhaka : Quality, Determination, Grit, Attitude & Leadership.
As an Arsenal fan. I miss Xhaka😢
You a plastic fan
lol xhaka is nice but Declan rice is dope...
How? 😅 @@mohdroshidi1636
@@blakerussell-vg8zxwe need one more midfielder though since partey is always injured.Jorginho has been amazing last few weeks but we still need someone for the future.maybe zubimendi
@@mohdroshidi1636 plastic for missing a player, are you on drugs?
our own undercover agent, in Germany to curse Kane, once a gunner ❤
Hahahah bro spot on.
😂
Cupblocking 🐔
Truly a player who shows that statistics aren't everything, what a great talent.
He's going to be one of best coaches in future be it even aresnal
What a Legend. I miss him in the squad
Not to mention that Xhaka’s unforgettable celebration vs Mainz! 🇨🇭 ❤
I still think it`s weird to think about that Xabi and Xhaka have played against each other as players, and now Xabi is coaching Xhaka.
Yeah Bayern Vs Mochengladbach
not weird at all, there are so many of them
How is that weird
Xhaka doesn’t have ego he also played with Arteta and then he coached him
Xhaka is the general, he has developed well as the general he has a lot of skill, pinpoint passer, through ball, defensive works, intercept, cannon ball, great vision, great build up play. Proud of you, bro. Arteta and Xabi is a perfect mentor for Xhaka. Because they all had experiences needed by Xhaka to develop well.
What a player and what a character! Love Xhaka!
Xhaka zoom....my captain still loved at arsenal
One of the Contenders for Player of the Season. Leader, passer and tackler.
Seeing Xhaka happy at Leverkusen makes me smile🥲 at Arsenal, he was the only player I wanted to meet in real life for a coffee😅top player, top human✨ miss him
Indeed
The arsenal club over the years have a significant impact on the players that leave. Xhaka is a top player. Always a gooner.
Xhaka, we will always remember you in the Emirates... Maybe Arsenal will win trophies without you in the coming years,
But it will be thanks to your hard work taking us from a shambles out of form Ozil based team, carried us on your back until a propper team was assembled.
You deserve the Bundesliga title, you are a star.
A lot of focus is put on assists, but second assists are just as important. Players like Xhaka are essential for the success of a team.
So happy for him , loved him at Arsenal . He deserves all the credit
He was always good! A lot of Arsenal fans failed to see it. The occasional mishaps that led to us conceding was mostly down no cover behind.
He was a leader that don't take bad up!
that was the case before Arteta, Arsenal fans literally sang his name at the Emirates for the whole of last season
EPL could really learn a thing or two about presentation from this.
As a gooner, its amazing to see Xhaka revel in the role he was always meant to be.
Ya done did good Granit.
So happy for him, he deserves all the best things that happen to him
Who could have predicted few years ago both Arsenal and Xhaka on top but not together?!
Once Gunner Always Gunner💪
Xhaka my Arsenal's assistant coach before becoming the man himself it's written in the stars
Craziest redemption arc
This is why we tell people that football is not all about scoring and assists.
And that’s why you don’t just rely on stats, they don’t show how instrumental a player like Xhaka is
Midfielders make the best coaches and xhaka is gonna be a really great coach
This must be so relaxing for Xhaka the pace of the PL is not as forgiving.
Yes. There’s an Alonso in him. Wenger bought him after missing opportunities to sign Alonso. Wenger wanted someone with good long range distribution and line-breaking passes.
The challenge with Xhaka is he’s not really been a good stand-alone defensive midfielder hence his problems in the early stages of his Arsenal career. I always saw him as a box-box midfielder and not an Alonso who’ll sit deep to make tackles. The season Arteta shared that similar idea lead to his revolution.
He’s never been a bad player. He was just misplaced in a depreciating Arsenal team
As an Arsenal fan, I’m happy he’s doing so well for Leverkusen, shows how good of a player he actually is. I hope he lifts the Bundesliga title this year🤞🏾
I love seeing the conductors highlighted like this.
Modern football have been ruoned with G/A stats, glad videos like this captires the full story that football isn't all about Stats and goal and assists. Great insight.
I reckon we would deffo won the league with xhaka not only due to his football but influence in the dressing room
Miss you, Granit ❤🤍
So happy to you to see you winning major trophy on your first season. Once a gunner, always a gunner ❤
Making the Swiss proud 💪🇨🇭
As a arsenal fan I’m glad to see Xhaka with his best performance and help the Leverkusen
Granit is incredible full stop.
Not sure why Granit did not get the credit he deserved at Arsenal.
So nice to see Granit quality performance game after game. I’m happy Granit’s contribution is making enormous difference for Leverkusen. Xabi has don incredible work assembled a team like this
I didn't pay much attention to him at his former but now I cannot miss a game!!!
Xhaka : maestro touch. Miss him....as Arsenal fan. Congratulate ❤❤❤❤
Gunner for life.
My friends and I called him Boom xhakalaka. He is a maestro with a canon of a left foot. Once a gunner, always a gunner.
We miss you Xhaka Boom❤
From north london, "tht is my xhaka"
These players are collectively intelligent ❤❤
If he ever becomes a coach,I wish to play under him
Happy to see him thriving.... we miss you granit
Arsenal fans knew Bayer got a gem. Glad to see him do so well and get some well-deserved flowers.
Xhaka is the king.
Good to see him finally playing for a club without toxic fans abusing him where he has to cup his ears for them.
You might not have noticed that things turned around when Arteta came in, if you don't watch any football.
Bro English football was too much for him. Xhaka needs space and time to deliver which you dont get that in Premier league. Everything is intense and fast.
Look now last season when Arteta played him as a free role number8 Xhaka played his best football.
The guy just needs space and time and you'll see the best of him.
Still better than united fan
A leader among men.
Those who wrote him off don't understand smart football.
The coolest man in the world
Granit have a great Mentor ❤
Granit is a secret agent sent by Arsenal so Kane still remains trophyless
Top Lad! we miss him at the Carpet. Glad he's still shining
Wish our gunner capt and Leverkusen win treble this season EL, Pokal and Bundesliga with 0defeat.
Granit forever Gunner.
Congratulations Granit
Granit Xhaka we got👏 Granit Xhaka we got👏~
my idol..
One quality of Xhaka that people rarely talk about: his availability. 90 minutes week in week out, he's always available, never get injured.
عملاق.عبقرى.طيب.قلب❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the entire comment section and views are Arsenal fans... that shows how big of a fan base.
Not to mention most of the fan base don't even like Xhaka
He’s so boss
This makes me so happy for Xhaka ❤
I always rated my boi granit. A shame fans made a scapegoat out of him during a time where he wasn’t the only player making mistakes. But god forbid he gave the ball away, oh no a midfielder losing the ball say it ain’t so 🙄😒.
xhaka wont be a recognise player for those who watch football by using fantasyleague points as reference..i think the player who make the 2nd assist (initiator) should be recognise more. Messi is among the player who would be on the top rank initiator (his lob pass to left back)
My unofficial captain at Arsenal. Xhaka BOOM!! ❤
This the guy Arsenal fans was booing 😑 what a shame
Previous coaches player him as a defensive player . Only Arteta played him in the right position
comeon Xhaka!!!
Impressive how Xabi managed to unlock Xhaka true potential .
Arteta already recognized his ability & kept him at Arsenal despite many Arsenal fans wanted him out due to his past poor performance .
Credit to Wenger for bringing him to Arsenal but unfortunately Wenger did not played him to his best position.
Hopefully he can help them even better next season when I think they will suffer
Rrofsh Granit Xhaka!
it's like redemption for him he is a high quality player but when in arsenal he might be not in the best shape because so many things happen in Arsenal in his time there hope the bundesliga title is something he deserves to have after what he's doing right now
From Arsenal’s fan so happy for this.
It's wild seeing Xhaka bossing the midfield so completely... Always knew he had it in him...
Lazlo Benes in Hamburg 23-24 is amazing
ATV will cry to see this
The pressing in this league is something that needs to be improved. It's shocking how much time they gave to their opponent holding the ball.
Bayern brought Kane Leverkusen brought Xhaka. Pretty obvious who will win the title.
rather than 2nd assist or initiator, its actually called pre-assist as an important metric for playmaker. no offense to alonso but xhaka had played like pirlo more. but certainly alonso had been the best coach in the world right now.
Saya masih mengingatnya saat dia bermain di Arsenal
He is the greatest since he joined Gunners
I wouldn't change anything about Arsenal's current midfield, but I do miss this guy.
Granit get's so much time and space in Germany
I am sure having Xabi as his coach was a blessing.
شاكا رائع لو كان في ارسنال هذا الموسم مع ديكلان سيكون هذا موسم الأبطال للمدفعجية
Qarabag gelir ❤❤
xhaka boom🔥
Xhaka Boom 🙌🏼🏆
Xabi’s Jorginho ❤
