It’s when he is not on the pitch that everyone can see that he is missing and why he is missing. He is not a striker that will shoot 15-20 goals per season. He is the one who to speak loud in the cabine. He is the one who will modulate the rythme of the game. He is dedicated to his job. Very few injuries that shows that he is very serious. Bayer leverkusen already has adopted him as a leader and as a good player
Calling him captain is outrageous don’t y’all remember he threw the captains armband on the floor and told us to F off legend like Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira would never do that but he had a good season this year me personally I would’ve kept him as a squad player think he’s a lot better than Haverzt and Jorginho
A true warrior, Mr. 90+ mins; he will not sit on the bench while he can walk. What true representation of commitment and purpose. During the dark ages of Wenger, Emery and Arteta there was one man automatically on the team sheet. Xhaka a true Arsenal captian.
From storming off the pitch in disgrace to striding off the pitch head held high and the whole crowd clapping and chanting his name. A truly remarkable turn around, good luck Granit in the future, and thank you.
im happy some arsenal fans have made peace with this man he had a phenomenal season this year really wanted his to stay and hopefully we meet again in the champions league good luck in your next chapter of your career and thank you GX34 🥺 Granit Xhaka We Got 🇨🇭‼️
I've always been a huge fan of Xhaka even when he cost us points or games. His leadership and mental strength are up there with the likes of Keane, Vieira, Puyol, Ramos etc. He was always ready to fight for any of our players, while I've yet to see Odegaard fight for himself first lol His injury record is unbelievable and he was always ready to play anywhere. It's not a surprise that he was never benched by any of the managers since Wenger bought him. Last but not the least, when Mourinho tries to sign someone TWICE, you know that is a special player.
The Mourinho thing really fit my attention... I always felt he was extremely hard done by the fans... But the fact that Mourinho wanted him twice... Got me thinking... Maybe there's a genius here... Glad we got to see it...
Wenger played him out of position. I love Wenger but in the end of his career he made some strange decisions. Xhaka is not the only player that Wenger played out of position. And Xhaka finally showed what he was capable of with Artetas players and system.
@@Ejub.m Absolutely agree with you regarding to Wenger (although I absolutely love him), but wasn’t only Arsene. Xhaka paid heavy price for being played as a DCM for Emery and Arteta. But the difference was that Arteta had bigger balls and ruthlessness and asked the Club to buy a DCM (Partey) and play Xhaka in a more advanced position… still not the best position for him but gives Xhaka the freedom to float around. His best position is a free midfielder. Like Aaron Ramsey, if you like.
This!! We as an arsenal family had always lacked players with similar menatility like viera , keane etc.. . now that he is gone , I don't know if we really have any ? I have been his fan right from his first game just for his leadership . Sad that our own fanbase went against him when no one even thought from his side of view. i liked his passes and I thin it will be still missed.
@@thesuperboy3690 Ever since Vieira left in 2004, we have always made the unforgivable mistake of handing the armband to the wrong players, who either lacked leadership, or who turned out to be snakes or who simply didn't care about anyone else other than themselves. If you think about all the players that have worn the armband over the years, you'll know it's 100% true. The only exception was Xhaka and we started the cycle again.
Man. I remember having a hard time believing in him when he was young, showed glimpses of athleticism with that short temper. But man the past couple of years he really matured and was a blast to watch. #XhakaBoom
Давно я не грустил из-за ухода игрока из моего любимого клуба ((( спасибо Гранит! Теперь мы будем следить и за Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Остается привкус недосказанности. Гранит был одним из столбов команды, ее капитан в тяжелые времена. И сейчас, когда команда набирает ход он уходит. Гранит должен поднять над головой кубок АПЛ в составе Арсенала.
i refuse to believe he is going, not my captain made of granit, not him! you don't fight this hard, for this long, just to leave when we are so close! COYG
What a video mate ❤ My day was already fucked up and this video is pure emotional. The World doesn’t give me a chance But look when I got, I’ll show you what I do what I live is everything for you guys ❤️🫂
So many memorable moments❤ One that sticks out to mind is when he looked right up to me and my 13 year old daughter and flipped us off while shouting F**k you. Also can’t forget when he played the victim showing his family in the documentary.
in my opinion, Granit, you waste your time at Arsenal. Imagine Xabi Alonso play for Arsenal, he cant shot from distance, cant taking freekick, nobody respect him much, playing with awfull player.. You deserve better treatment. Honestly you should play for big clubs, I dont know why, they are not coming for you..
