Mad respect for this guy. I know he's made mistakes, but you can see how committed he is, and he's an intelligent player and person. I hope he stays at Arsenal this summer, you can just tell what an important personality he is to the rest of the team and the manager. COYG
Your obviously a spurs fan then how can you want him to stay . Who gives a shit what kind of person he is , play better simple
Jjjjkj
@@arsenaljoel7247 well clearly u haven’t cos when he’s not there r midfield is non existent u 🛎
@@groundskeeperkeeper3879 yeah but that doesn't mean he's at our level you complete mug . None of these players are you clearly didn't witness all the arsenal great teams if you think these lot who you say rely on xhaka are on our level , you mug
@@arsenaljoel7247 “play better” say that to everyone not just Xhaka kid
Unbelievable turnaround from Xhaka! One of the best in the league this season!
Get him on again! Ask him about how he feels now, with the fans, Mikel, his new position and role within the team, and ask him if his dad finally said he has had a good game
The part when he said we "Arsenal fans" make players scared of making mistakes broke my heart. Football is a game to be enjoyed and mistakes happen, they are part of football. And us as Arsenal fans should stop scaring our players with the ridiculous comments. Kindly let us support our players.
He meant “England”
Sadly, many fans are simply dam idiots and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the ground
I felt so bad hearing those exact words and I think that is a major problem, every single one of them is so scared to make a mistake , that is why we see so many back passes and sideways passing. No one is willing to take a risk. On the other hand I think this is as a result of years of the team coming short of expectation. The whole fan base is so frustrated with the results. We need a manager that can change that mentality. That is the major problem, and you can see that with Man Utd too.
You serious mate??? If you dont perform your job at work you get sacked, simple, whats wrong with accountability, AFC is spineless from top to bottom and it includes alot of the fanbase, life long gooner and this club is a clown show now
@@tagbonwogu2683 I'm afraid professional footballers get a lot of hate everywhere Sadly many fans can't understand players are humans and you can see it in comments under this video. But no one beats United's fans in hating their players - I can't remember when I saw a United fan saying something positive about their players
Can't imagine the scenes when he lifts the PL trophy. Incredible turnaround.
That special thing he wants to win with this club!🥰😍
Hard to imagine that now considering they're bottling it at the moment
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Won't happen now I'm afraid he's leaving
💀💀
Genuinely fascinating character and one of the most insightful players we've ever had on TPT. Thanks so much for being so honest, authentic and for sharing your story with The Players' Tribune Granit.
❤️
I can see him being an elite manager someday. Serious character true professional love this guy
I literally was just about to say this.
Is from balkan he has that dog in him, people with balkan routes posses that villian oura
Xhaka criminally underrated by social media fans but match going fans and true fans can see the effect this man has on the team. Without him we are lost in midfield. Xhaka deserves respect, and I hope this video goes a way in repairing the rift he has with the fans. He still has a lot to give here. For me, Xhaka is the captain without the armband. He does not need the metaphorical symbol of the band around his arm, when he is on the pitch, in the media, for his national team - he is a natural captain and he is always striving for the best for this club. Respect, Granit.
Spot on with your comment mate.
He’s a true leader. To me, he’s the best captain we had since Cesc
@@scorpionsrock1511 before or after he told us to F off and threw the arm band in the floor?
If I was in his place
I would play play play play
If I get hate hate hate hate
I must not be so great great
So I shall leave and flirt with as roma and mourinho like I did before my new contract
Life goes on
We are not married or family
Players move ..why are you stuck ?
Let's hold a referendum
In his own words he wants to enjoy his time
@@moeedmajeed weird how people make excuses for him, despite on the day, he was wrong. Nothing to do with social media.
I'm match going fan and have been for 35 years. Our standards are on floor if this is what we call an intelligent, dependable player. How many time have we lost games because of his lack of ability. How many redcards has he collected since we signed him. Please Arsenal fans, demand better. Get rid of Xakha and Arteta. From a fan who has watch real ballers at our club.
Can be a frustrating player at times but his dedication, commitment and professionalism is always exemplary. Young players should endeavor to have an attitude just like granit.
I agree his mentality reminds me alot of cr7 as crazy as that may sound
@@nm233306 it helps that he resembles Cristiano too
@@giroudsbrother9450 right? Lol I thought I was the only one who noticed that
With that many red cards? You think he’s a role model?
@@adamsharpe9452 he only got 4 red cards in his arsenal career stats. Sergio Ramos got 27 red cards. So he is not a role model?
Also when you see someone as role model. Did you think you will take their bad side? I think you will take the good side of that person to build yourself better. And that's the point of role model that I know..
I changed my mind on you Xhaka when I saw how hard you were fighting for the team and that you didn’t do the lazy apology and took your time. The Gooner fans are behind you and your family ❤️
he never apologized and he's never moved on from that day... he's just childish and boring.
It’s just he’s not a good enough player…he’s doing his best but he should leave 🤷🏾♂️
@@FreddyMacT yeah he shouldn't be angry at someone who insult his family
@@salihalsaif3589 the people in the stadium that booed him weren’t on social media, don’t confuse them. And that’s the problem with xhaka and this narrative, you paint everyone with the same brush. The xhaka vs everyone narrative that is getting old.
@@FreddyMacT he has no reason to apologise he puts his heart into the club he’s he makes mistakes all our players do but he gets the most this season he has been one of our best players if u like it or not
Xhaka v France was one of the best player performance ever
One thing yiu can never say about Granit is that he doesn’t give everything on the pitch . Sometimes he’s to emotional maybe , but he represents what I want from an Arsenal player , 100% committed
Doesn’t get the props he deserves (sometimes due to his own mistakes). The most recent game just showed what we are missing in midfield without him
The only problem is, he is our best CM bar Partey in terms of performances. But when he does bad it’s instant reaction but for him to get *any* praise from fans he would need 5 matches minimum at high level
Don’t remind me of that game please please please
@@serene1915 😢
@@ilyas.a5190 That's Arsenal standards tho, I heard Vieira used to be a "9 good games out of 10" kind of player
This is why I'm sick of you plastic arsenal fans like is this what it has come to we went from viera, overmars, Gilberto etc, to Xhaka and the fact that you lot are happy with settling for mediocrity is why were are declining it's fucking disgrace smh 🤦🏾♂️
All the genuine Arsenal supporters Love you Granit! Those who use such bad terms of insults aren't supporters of the club. Keep up. Keep doing good.
Keep doing good wtf. He's had five red and 63 yellow cards since joining the club. Oh yes because he cares so much. Doesn't even come across as a nice person. If you can't take criticism don't be a footballer. Should've gone to Roma in the summer would have been best for both parties.
Give ten percent of your salary to charity like Wilfried Zaha does. Emery wanted Zaha for us, but we got a worse player for 72 million who warms up the bench each week.
@@herbiehathaway6132 threatening to kill his family is not criticism
There is a giant difference from saying they arent good enough or they dhoulf improve and saying that you hope his family dies
@@calliesummer1158 that’s a handful of fake supporters and nowhere in his message did he say that
Nobody who abuses players is an arsenal fan - victory through harmony. All us real ones are fully behind you granit 👊
Feels so good to come back to this interview after Xhaka scored an amazing goal against Manchester United today. Despite the respect and the love we all have for Granit, no one mentioned Arteta. How important was Mikel on helping Xhaka come back up, absolute legend with great vision. In Arteta we trust!
When you listen to the way Xhaka speaks about Arteta you see what a mastermind he is. If it wasn’t for Arteta we would not have Xhaka today!
Doesn’t deserve the amount of hate he gets but for all the haters there’s a lot of fans who appreciate and have a lot of love for Xhaka ❤
Granit, you have my respect. What happened, happened. You decided to stay and still want to win something here. We fans can’t ask for much more that. We’ll continue to support you and the team 🔴⚪️
Excellent interview this, no clichés or guys looking for soundbites just a player talking. We need more of this , more humanising players , there's been so much to disconnect us from them recently with super leagues, closed doors games and disparity in their wages compared to ours. It's important to have these videos to remind us they are still human like the rest of us.
True...
its actually crazy what happened, just imagine having a stadium full of people doing that, like its genuinely insane. Mustve been tough to go through man. Xhakas a fighter man, big respect to him
I would swap positions if I earned the money he did
@@johnfused8281 You talk the talk but I guarantee you can’t walk the walk. Money doesn’t give you happiness.
Can't believe how moronic people are on the internet these days. It wasn't always this moronic 15 years ago
Tbf to the fans, Xhaka did waste time to be substituted. We just concede 2 goal and we need to find a goal and he just walk around when hes number up. you inviting people to provoke you when you not even play that good that day
It's so good he decided to speak and open up about his best/worst moments. It's amazing to get to know the real Granit.
I think the most striking takeaway from this is that players at Arsenal are scared to make a mistake because of the social media backlash. Think about that the next time you watch a game and you feel like they're only passing sideways.
It's not because of social media backlash, they pass side ways because we have an idiot manager who thinks he is pep Guardioula
So true
best comment, playing it safe .says alot about how fans are powerful. we must change.
Not only social media mate. Ian Wright, Paul Merson, Alan Smith, Martin Keown etc etc.
These are our Club’s legends and they’re the first to crucify Xhaka for a tackle that barely deserves a yellow, never mind a red!
These are the pundits that brainwash us with comments like: “Xhaka, you cannot tackle like that!!!”
Where as the Everton player stamps on Tomy’s face doesn’t even get a foul!
This is what media serves and us being stupid enough, take it as a fact
@@scorpionsrock1511 Keown's throwing stones in glass houses perhaps? Maybe because all the "Arsenal" pundits you cite are English and Granit is a Swiss, there is a bias agaisnt him?
Granit has probably the best redemption story in football. To go from what happened during the Palace game to now having his name sung around the Emirates in a title leading side. Full respect to the guy
Watching this video you realise what a mastermind Arteta is, the way he approaches his players, the way he motivates them, if it wasn’t for him Xhaka would be done. Just listen to the way Xhaka speaks about him! And this goes for all the other players including the amazing performances of Saka and ESR under him. Even with the Nketiah situation, alot of fans doubted him and Arteta pushed for him to stay, and today, after 2 amazing performances against Chelsea and Manchester United we all love Eddie! IN ARTETA WE TRUST!
That "no", at 15:56, tells you everything.
I really hope the Arsenal fans that poured hate on this guy watch this interview and think about what they did. Amazing that he stayed after all that.
I've watched it. .nothing but PR crap...he needs to leave this club this summer. Where was his so called leadership against Spurs and Newcastle.
@@kojoamra7448 He was our only player trying.
@@DavidSmith-gq3mv Even when he tries he's just not good enough. We need someone to take command in midfield especially in big games.In the time this guy has been here,he's hardly been worth his own hype.If he's our leader,then we have a serious problem.
@@kojoamra7448 What do you expect him to do walk the ball into the net himself? He’s always been a quality midfielder but he is a team player not an individualist player. If the whole team is playing crap there’s not a lot he could do.
@@kojoamra7448 Do you still stand by your comments?
Love you Xhaka, I’m sorry you’ve had this treatment and very proud to have you playing for my football team. Love to you and your family.
What a nice comment. Proves that decency is still around amongst football fans
My respect for Xhaka just skyrocketed after watching this. Real guy on and off the pitch. Thank you for this piece of content. More of this.
On the pitch??! If only...
@@joelmiranda241 I mean it’s like he said what do u expect him to love them after those plastic arsenal fans who should be ashamed of themselves for saying that kinda stuff to his kids and family. He’s just a human he has private problems to like the fans. Now today xhaka is back to being one of the best and ya love him. The definition of horrible and plastic fans
Absolutely loved this interview. Respect for Granit Xhaka increased tenfolds if not more. How he handles himself off the pitch, the character, integrity, discipline and his epic work ethic is something highly commendable. Mad respect. As long as he wears the arsenal jersey, he will always have my support and love as a true gunner fan.
Cool ❤️🩹🥰😍
Great interview and much need to hear Xhaka's point of view. He's still my Arsenal Captain and back him 1000 percent. Respect.
A fascinating insight into Granit Xhaka’s character & you can’t help but respect his honesty and values. Brilliant work guys 👏🏼
I know the importance of Xhaka in Arsenal midfield because of Harry 🙂
Most underated player at Arsenal we need to do better as fans, we’re all human we make mistakes get angry but it’s true Xhaka truly cares too much
COYG 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Love this from Granit. Incredible story.
Thanks to the Players tribune team (TPTfootball) for interviewing football players & showing us thier real character. After seeing these shows I have special respect for the players & thank you for that ❤️
He defines character, respect and to never ever give up. My cap 🔴⚪
All fans have to remember is that Wenger signed him, every coach since plays him...
Don't let the words and opinions of those on TV panels + ex players, not smart enough to coach, sway the way we treat people...
It wouldn't happen at Anfield ever.
We are Arsenal, That used to mean something.
Good luck Granit and Family 🍀✌️
Wow. Well done sir.
What a brilliant way of saying it.
I was about to write a comment how at our club we have created a culture of scapegoating and hating our players, which doesn’t happen on some classy and successful clubs.
@@scorpionsrock1511 Wenger got sacked and so did Emery, Xhaka has never been player of the month, never scores or assists goals, has the most errors leading to a goal since his arrival in the entire league and also revives numerous red cards throughout a season
@@CGSocDem potm voted by who lmao ? Fans! the same fans who consistently abuse him and never appraise his performance! The same fans with big mouth but no knowledge about football .
@@CGSocDem yes, and you know better than these managers/coaches. Football management is easy, that's why everyone is a coach earning millions. We fans are like customers on the other side of the counter buying pizzas, we don't know what that pizza has gone through to make it to our mouths and stomachs or what the chef has gone through to get that pizza to us. We itch to say, "Oh, it's too salty. Too spicy. Who's the chef?" If the job was that easy, why isn't everyone of us doing it, let alone good at it?
He's a true professional👏🏾 Arsenal through and through
Not a true professional, said he doesn’t care about receiving numerous red cards, also told us fans to F off and threw the captains armband. Iwobi dealt with worse abuse than Xhaka and never once lashed out
He is. Arsenal is dogshit and he personifies that as a player. I respect his honesty and got nothing against him as a person
He should have had his contract terminated as soon as he put his fingers up to the fans
Came here after his amazing goal against Man Utd. Kudos to him for his loyalty to Arsenal, despite what he went through. Truly an extraordinary lad.
The captain without the armband
Respect 💯
One of my favourite players in the team, and one of the best players in the team, contrary to what some fans might think. Underrated midfielder with an ability to break open play and pass the ball across lines that very few midfielders in world football today can.
Also a fantastic guy who has been unfairly slated and many of his cards this season were seriously given just on reputation, and not based on the actual foul itself.
Arsenal played Oxford united(league 2 division team) using lokonga, Viera and Elena as mildfieders, but no goal for 60mins, he just sub lokonga n brings in Xhaka, the game changed n he leave d team to a 3 nil win, I see Odegaard as d captain Bt Xhaka as d manager in the pitch
Love this guy. The only player I've ever known that his own fans and media will only talk when he plays poorly. Yet when he's good which is most weeks he is not praised. Massive respect for him and what a interview.
Xhaka and Ronaldo must be brothers in a different dimension.
Of course he’s had good and bad days. What I can say is that he’s one of the most important characters in the Arsenal squad and he would be the first name on my team sheet. I feel like Unai Emery did not get the most out of him or manage him well, but since Mikel started he’s been much more consistent. Also he’s a fantastic guy…
Mikel like players with a yes sir attitude but talented players he has no time for them if he can’t manage there attitude
@@mweenehamunjele If you worked in an office and you came in each day with a stinking attitude & caused whole heap of drama but ur bredrin just knuckled down & worked hard with no back chat - tell me who’s getting the promotion? Thats life!
Emery threw Xhaka under the bus before the season even started. Let alone after Crystal Palace’s game
Yeah he’s only cost us a couple of games this season so overall not bad for him 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@WalkWithWyatt This is football mate, not an office
Big arsenal fan here, big respect to this man. You are appreciated my friend💪🏽
GX just took 26 mins to bare his soul. It's NEVER NEVER okay to insult/abuse players, they too are humans - flesh and blood. Extending the hate to their families and loved ones is even much more worst.
I love the man Granit Xhaka ❤️
legends are made by the sacrifice and the commitment.. as an arsenal fans for a feeling reason, i'll take any other legends who have give so many success for the club in the past years with this Man of steel Granit.. ❤️GX34
No one can hate on Xhaka after watching this. Well done players’ tribune!
He's gonna be Arteta's number 2 at some point
What a character. I respect him even more for this.
I find it very telling he never mention’s Unai Emery once, who clearly scapegoated him in the entire situation. Xhaka has been a completely different player for the club under the Arteta regime vs the Emery regime. Xhaka x Partey has the potential to be the best double pivot in the England. Xhaka is going to be essential for the top 4 race this year COYG
Stop talking absolute shite, best pivot in the prem? Behave yourself that's embarrassing.
Just stop🤣🤣 best pivot
You’re smoking something strong if you think he’s a good player.
No proof that Emery scapegoats the guy. That’s just you assuming bruh. Under Arteta regime for all 2 seasons before this season Xhaka is pretty much still as criticised as he was under Emery’s. It’s only now that club placement on the table is better that you can say this stuff. He’s not really that much completely different.
@@moeedmajeed You clearly don’t know anything about football 🤦🏼♂️ You’re that kind of person to only watch short instagram/youtube videos about players and judge on that basis💀
Regardless of what you think about Xhaka, speaks volumes about his character for not leaving Arsenal after that incident. Wish our fan base wasn’t so Toxic.
And he said that his dad told him it's time to go. And it's the first time his dad was ever telling him that
It’s finally back. Where did this video disappear?
Always love for granit 💥
This is so touching. God bless you Granit🥺
What a Man and what a fantastic player he is.
100% truth spoken.
Blessed to call you my Brother Giti❤️.
I like Xhaka alot man, I’ve been an arsenal fan since a child . Honestly I wish i meet him one day just so i can have the chance to tell him how much he means to me man . I love you my brother 🙌🏿
Such an honest guy, amazing story 🙌🏼❤ and a top class midfielder as well! 🔥
❤️
Goes on to win his first arsenal potm the same month he did this in. What a redemption he's had
I love seeing him express himself
I have always had a lot of respect for Granit Xhaka. The way he continued to work hard and be loyal to the club even after. Many players would have quit or demanded to leave he stayed and remained professional.
I love you granit you are the best stay with us
A very real interview. And I believe him when he said being a captain at Arsenal is difficult. I have tried to compare him with Sergio Ramos who had a worse disciplinary record at Real Madrid. He didn't get as much stick as Granit. I really do hope we as fans treat our players better. A great interview!
Sergio Ramos’ case is way different than Xhaka’s. Because of Ramos’ big achievements on the pitch and relationship with the fans and media. Xhaka is nowhere near as succesful in these stuff. It’s not about the disciplinary records.
Sergio Ramos is elite and Xhaka is not... he's a good player on his day but he isn't Ramos. Plus Xhaka's hatred comes from his stupidity in big moments. Ramos is aggressive, but not stupid on the pitch. Xhaka even whinging in this interview completely leaves out his own responsibility in making it worse... even now, he keeps harping on that 1 moment. He's as much to blame for the fractured relationship as the fans at this stage.
Exactly. Xhaka only got 4 red cards. For his position and role that is absolutely nothing but people go on like he is “mr red card”. You have to accept that sometimes he will pick up reds, it is part of the risks that he must take. I love Xhaka, great player.
Comparing Xhosa to Ramos is like comparing Welbeck to Messi. No comparison. Ramos is on an elite level with his achievements.
Xhaka has always been my favourite player. So much passion and hunger, he inspires me every single day of my life. I wish to meet him one day
What a warming speech , totally can feel this guy putting his heart to the club , we need to pay respect to xhaka ….
I have to hold back tears. It was emotional, because I knew he was getting abuse, but to actually SEE some of the abuse he was getting, I understand why he told the fans to F off
I'll never understand why he is not captain, i know the whole walk off wasn't ideal but now we have Mikel and xhaka has proved he is more than capable to lead this team
Fans like you are killing Arsenal football club. RAISE THE FCKN STANDARDS
He did not do a thing wrong for standing up for himself when fans were booing and abusing him.
Granit is amazing. He’s a definition of when life knocks u down , you get back up .... we love u bro. Keep doing what you do and may God help you achieve what you dream of.
I am glad he scored against United. It's time fans forgive him and let go of the past.
Granit Xhaka has been the most consistent player across the last two seasons at Arsenal, he deserves respect for that, people like to point out only what benefits their preconceived ideas. Arsenal football club has the core of it’s values set in the ideas respect and class, nothing of that is shown when someone’s life is threatened, true fans stand by our successes as much as the hardships, someone who identifies with Arsenal should never threaten a club servant, let alone their family. Xhaka has shown again and again his passion for the club and how much he cares, i’m tired of people amplifying his mistakes and undermining his ability and commitment, he is a true leader amongst players and it’s time for the fans to acknowledge the passion and commitment, time to move on, I know I already have, come on Granit, right behind you and the rest of the lads. We’re building something special here❤️🤍 #COYG
You Sir have earned my respect.
Oh God, I so want to give him a hug 😭😭😭😭
Elite player. Elite Mentality. Elite skillset.
There is a reason why every Manager has him/ want him as their key player. I hope to see him get the due credit from people who love football.
Wtf are you on my friend. Bad player, weak mentality and very limited skillset. How many times has he cost us this season alone. Do you see any Manchester City player coming out like this? They are elite. Are you happy being 5th? Are you happy us bottling 4th? Why can we not criticize? When did critisism became the same as abuse? They are trying to supress the voice of the fans. Boos is often the easiest and most recognisable way of criticism. Are we not allowed to do even that? People pay hundreds of pounds to watch the game, just for a win(eg Manchester city at home) to be taken away from our hands because granit doesn't give a fuck and he is who he is. And we should tolerate him giving away a penalty. Him giving away penalty vs brighton at home, the season with emery, bottling us yet another top 4. He doesn't forgive, why should we? Lets all clap our hands and call these so player Elite, just because he made a coming out video.

How am i toxic? I am just criticizing him. I want Arsenal to do better, not Granit. Arsenal would have been better if he had left after that crystal palace. Look at Bellerin, no one remembers him now, we replaced him with Tomiyasu who is better. We would have replaced Xhaka as well. Do you miss Auba? Do you miss David luiz? Do you miss Willian? Football moves on.
@@b_hav_6365
I am not asking about Red cards. Asking about subair performances. If you don't understand the difference, I am helpless
He’s not club captain but he’s defo a leader. Not many players in our team has his mentality
How do you know? You’ve ironically just done exactly what Granit said. Speaking about players when all you see of them is their 90 minutes on the pitch. You don’t know any of them so how can you say they aren’t leaders? It’s impossible to know what each and every other player is like away from the pitch and away from the screens
I followed this guy since his Gladbach days and know how they suffered after he left, Granit to many fans might look like an expendable character with the "Anyone can do his job" narrative, people will realize the day he is gone as to how important a player he is to the team. të dua Granit
The filth that put Granit and his family through that period are lower than turds hitting the pan.
Nothing but respect for Granit for his fight and love of The Arsenal.
So glad he has come through it top player top man.
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just finished it: thanks for your honesty Xhaka! We both love Arsenal! That’s what we have in common ❤️ good luck for the rest of the season bro 💯
I swear if he leaves at the end of the season it is a step backwards. So underrated it's unreal.
I love Granit Xhaka, never a day I criticise him Even if he makes mistakes I quickly understand and never quick to judge
Xhaka you are the one reason that I become arsenal fan and you will be arsenal fans favorite for sure
Always had and will have Respect for you my friend. Happy you were able to get this off your chest and i hope the fans see the impact you have in our squad and in our club
Great interview and player! Great to see him back in form, 3 goals so far and more to come!
That was a great interview from Xhaka. Honest and real interview. I have criticised Xhaka like other Arsenal but sending hate to his family is wrong. People need to Respect Xhaka more as his leadership and passion for football is exemplary
Fascinating to watch, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely blown away with this
I'm an arsenal fan. This guy is as real as they get. I actually love his mentality. Kudos to you granit, stay true to who you are.
Xhaka is a good player and a strong character
First time I've seen this, i respect the man even more now!! I didn't know he done his ACL at 15.....that injury finished me, at around the same age, so I understand the mentality he has!! for me he has been our most consistent player under Arteta!! Hopefully he signs another contract and leads us out in the Europa final this season 🔴⚪️
I love xhaka man.... proper guy ....comeon give your best❤️
I’ve always rooted for Xhaka. He always brings passion and intensity. I think he was a victim of the circumstances at Arsenal with a poor side and no change in expectations from the fans for an Arsenal side that clearly wasn’t at the level they were used to. He became a scapegoat at times. But full credit to him for sticking it out and staying committed to the club and has now helped them tremendously this season. Hope the refs can finally stop booking him just based on his reputation.
Thank you Xhaka, you are appreciated and loved, and btw what a banger today against Man U!!!!
Everyone makes mistake sometime, but class is permanent. Big respect for Xhaka. I never doubt with Xhaka even though sometimes he made accidentally mistake. But still he is a great player and captain. Salute!
Love Xhaka.. he is the guy you call when you wana go handle something.
Incredible mentality.... Thanks man for your genuine contributions. There are still some of us who believe in you. 👍🙌
No one can question his hardwork, dedication and passion, mistakes aside he always gives his all for the badge
This is brilliant! Great interview! Some of the “fan tv” lot could learn from the class shown here. Top job 👏🏻
Respect to xhaka I watched this whole video
Wow, what an insight. This is something we need to see more of. Thank you Granit for taking the time to do this interview - very articulate and so genuine.
The most consistent player in an Arsenal Jersy since Wenger left, for me he gets 7 every single match, I love this guy
i was one of many who was frustrated with granit’s performances and behavior a couple of years ago. i think everyone could see how much pressure he was under as captain, and it got to him. he’s won me over since, been absolutely integral and i understand now that he’s just a passionate and driven guy that won’t back down from anyone or anything. much love to granit, looking forward to having him around for a while longer
Amazing video. This interview is raw and real, really felt an emotional connection with a man that has been through so much. The highs and lows. The level headed attitude is one I didn’t see in him from his displays on the field. But hearing him speak on situations really opens your eyes and mind to the mentality of the man. Very well done. I have always had a blind love for Granit, and that only increased after watching this video.. you guys earned a subscriber for sure! Thank you.
He is genuinely massively underrated, he takes the most risks on the ball so obviously he’s going to make more mistakes, he deserves better
Underrated? He's an average prem player playing for one of the biggest clubs in world football
@@sfullernj maybe he seems average because he plays w a bunch of kids half the time , imagine him with competent midfielders. Not saying he’s world class, but he would for sure be better
@@WalkingWRPT this aged perfectly thank you
