With only three goals and two assists since the beginning of the season, Granit Xhaka is considered by fans to be one of Bayer Leverkusen’s most important players this season.
Xhaka’s stature was once again clearly demonstrated in Leverkusen’s match at Bay Arena in the Europa League semi-final against AS Roma on the morning of May 10.
But before getting the goals, Leverkusen went through a period of extremely deadlock and had to experience the price of constantly attacking without scoring a goal.
In difficult times, Leverkusen looked to the middle of their field, where there was a leader named Xhaka.
At that time, the cameras immediately captured close-ups of Xabi Alonso and Xhaka’s gestures.
Indeed, from that moment on, Leverkusen’s attacks became more powerful, their shots gradually becoming more damaging.
In 90 minutes on the field, Xhaka touched the ball 90 times, achieved a passing accuracy rate of 92%, made 10 decisive passes, successfully passed long passes 8/9 times, won 6 duels, 1 shot and 1 shot.
In the joy of victory, Xhaka expressed his unbelievable feeling and emphasized that the whole team would win the final, saying: “Really goosebumps!
We are definitely in the final to win, of course it’s not easy.
A memorable, historic season is waiting for Xhaka and his teammates.
Xhaka is simply irreplaceable.
Compared to his time at Arsenal, Xhaka has now become a better version, bringing great influence to the team. He is not only excellent when he has the ball but also in his ability to choose positions, judge and make decisions.
Xhaka’s playing style reminds people of a central midfielder who possesses the best ability to regulate and intercept in Europe and has played for big teams like Liverpool, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich… Yes, that’s it.
