With the next game he will also become Switzerland‘s most capped player for the national team. Despite his (for some people) controversial ways, he is truly one of the greatest swiss footballplayers.

Might be the greatest Albanian-born player on top of that

I think it's so strange to call it nationality-born. Wouldn't it make more sense if that word was related to the place of birth?

English makes no sense sometimes.

That's Broja bruh. But fr at least on a potential level Broja is unlike nothing that came from Albania. Whether he can translate that to efficiency and a good career is diff thing

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

technically both were not "born" in Albania.

As much as I think Broja has high potential, he's 22 and struggles to get minutes for Chelsea (amongst injuries and other things). At 22 Xhaka was cooking for Monchengladbach and one of the most promising midfielders from the Bundesliga, plus his record for Switzerland is very respectable. Broja still has a long way to go

Oh shit, yeah thought he was born in Kosovo like Shaqiri

He was my favourite Arsenal player when he was there. Sad that he left but also glad that he's at a club and league that values him.

It was so frustrating reading the shite Gooners were spewing about him online, and listening to the clueless English media was as bad.

Greatest swiss footballers are probably either Shaqiri or Xhaka?
