Switzerland advances to the round of 3 with a 2 to 2022 and after a crackling match (perhaps the best they have played during the XNUMX World Cup), but Granit Xhaka ruins everything: first, responding to Vlahovic's provocations, she makes a bad gesture in Mitrovic's direction , unleashing the wrath of the Serbian bench, then during the recovery time, coming off the sidelines, he nearly got into a fight with Milenkovic and Milinkovic-Savic and only the providential intervention of Acanji managed to restore order.
Very close game that between Serbia and Switzerland, which despite the absence of Summer need Goodbye (and, at first, it was also thought of the same Jaca, who then took the field), was perhaps one of the most beautiful ever played by the Swiss team during the 2022 FIBA WC, with Graze who made amends for the two mistakes that cost the Swiss two goals by scoring the decisive goal, and Rodriguez, Plunger, Vargas e Shaqiri who gave a show on the field.
Too bad that, to spoil the party, which allowed Switzerland to conquer the round of XNUMX and the match against Portugal, he thought about it Jaca, captain of the Red Cross formation, first responding to the vulgar gesture of Vlahovic and infuriating the whole Serbian bench (which, in fact, jumped up and approached the midfielder in a threatening way, so much so that only the intervention of the referee and the Serbian coach managed to avert the worst ).
Serbia-Switzerland, the fight breaks out between Xhaka, Milenkovic and Milinkovic-Savic during stoppage time!
La tension but it exploded again during the recovery time when, about three minutes after the kick-off, one was seen considerable confusion a few steps away from the door of Serbia and, shortly after, Jaca, Milenkovic and the goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic come out from the sidelines and beat each other up with shoving and insults.
immediate theintervention of the other teammates, that when they came face to face, they said all sorts of things, and only thanks to the Swiss player's calls for calm Achanji, who restored order to the Swiss team, and the intervention of the race director, who also gave a yellow card to Xhaka (although the Swiss fans were expecting at least a red card), the Serbia-Switzerland match was able to resume.
World Cup 2022: why Switzerland and Serbia can't stand each other?
Although it is not a sentiment shared by all the players of the Swiss national team, there have always been frictions and disagreements of various kinds between the Swiss and Serbian teams, for various reasons.
The first is the presence of Kosovar footballers and Albanians, as Shaqiri and Xhaka, a fact which, for historical reasons too long to explain in a single article, always arouses the wrath of Serbian players, so much so as to push them to give their worst (at least in terms of behavior on the field).
The second is the gesture, made by Shaqiri and Xhaka in 2018 in the direction of the Serbian fans, of the Albanian eagle which apparently, after four years, had not been forgotten by the Serbian national team at all. Reason why, especially towards Jaca (Shaqiri instead, when he scored the first goal, he just indicated his name on the shirt), the Serbian players tried to take revenge.
