The footballer from Kosovo, Granit Xhaka, who is the captain of the Swiss national team, landed at Nis airport on Friday night, before the match against Serbia in the League of Nations.
Switzerland will play today (Saturday) on a trip to Serbia in the valid match for Group 4 of League A in the League of Nations, a match which is expected to take place at “Stadium Dubočica” in Leskovci from 20:45.
This match will be special for Switzerland’s captain, Granit Xhaka, as the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder is from Kosovo.
This is how the great Swiss medium Blick , which reported on the arrival of the Swiss national team in Serbia before today’s match, described it .
“Several soldiers with machine guns and eight other policemen – this is how the Swiss national team is expected at the airport of the third largest Serbian city, Nis.
Unlike the landing in Belgrade for the European Championship qualifier against Belarus last spring, there is no special area at the airport for the stars of the national team. In fact, the Swiss delegation has the entire airport to themselves,” wrote Blick first.
“At the front, Murat Yakin comes out with humor from the mini-reception, followed by the players. One by one, they walk towards the team bus, led by Manuel Akanji and Breel Embolo. A little later, the captain of the national team, Granit Xhaka, runs out of the terminal with Andi Zeqiri – a special trip for both players because of their Kosovar roots”.
“Apart from a man who notices the Swiss captain and takes out his mobile phone to take a video, there is no particular incident. After a few minutes, the team leaves for the team hotel with a police escort”, concludes the Swiss medium.
