Granite Xhaka was involved in a disturbance during the game of Switzerland in the view of Serbian here in Qatar World Cup. The Swiss international from Arsenal (30), of Kosovar-Albanian origin, experienced a fierce rivalry with a racist undertone that ended in a fight with the Serbian goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic and the occasional player like Mitrovic. In addition, he made an ugly gesture grabbing his penis and headed to the Serbian bench.
The ‘gunner’ received some criticism for his attitude, including from Kosovar journalist covering the World Cup, Zana Avdiu, who first criticized him in a Facebook post in which he wrote, among other things , that “Granit Xhaka’s action was a disgrace, the act of a street boy.” Then he also made a guest appearance on a TV show, saying, “What does it say about our society when we make these kinds of gestures? I can explain it to you. Granit Xhaka’s gesture symbolizes sexual that abuse.”
Afterwards, Xhaka’s father called the same TV show and said “he should be careful what he says” and “it’s an insult”. The truth is that the journalist had to go into hiding and seek police protection, according to ‘Blick’. He also seems to have received threats not only from the father but also from the player’s brother through social networks.
