DBasia.news – After committing an act that was uncommendable, Granit Xhaka has received criticism from many parties. One of them came from Arsenal legend, Nigel Winterburn. To Unai Emery, Winterburn suggested the Arsenal manager to let go of Granit Xhaka’s captain position.
In the match against Crystal Palace, Xhaka created controversy when replaced by another player, Bukayo Saka in the 60th minute. Instead of leaving immediately, he walked casually to the edge of the field. This sparked the emotion of Arsenal fans. The reason is, the Gunners are chasing the winning goal.
However, Xhaka ignored it. He then received a “boooo” from the fans. Moreover, he instead issued a reaction by putting his hand over his ears as a sign of sarcasm.
Once on the sidelines, the emotionless Xhaka immediately opened and threw the Arsenal jersey. He also did not go to the bench, but instead headed to the dressing room.
“I was very surprised, Xhaka, captain of Arsenal! I was amazed when he covered his ear, took off his shirt and then preceded to insult the supporters. “That’s not something you expect from your captain,” Winterburn told talkSPORT.
“I think Unai Emery needs to remove his position. He has five captains and can easily do the job. I disagree with the concept of the five captains. I feel like having five captains is very, very strange. “
“This has put Unai Emery be in a tough situation and he has to deal with it quickly. If Unai Emery supports Granite Xhaka, that will further complicate the position. If the fans disagree with him, the manager himself will be pressured, “Winterburn added.
