It is not difficult for a person to create several opportunities for success, after all, life is long, everyone can always wait for what they want;

But if a person wants to get up and succeed after N falls, it will be very difficult, after all, such frustration endurance and personal resistance to blows must not be available to ordinary mediocre people.

For Swiss midfielder Xhaka, his tenacity, stamina, adjustment to mistakes and belief in himself seem to meet all these problems, so he can always come out of his failures and always have his next bright years. This morning, after leading Switzerland to knock out the defending champions, they are back in the quarter-finals of the European Championships. Don't forget, at a similar point last season, he was a veteran who was just dropped.

People who are not afraid of failure

Xhaka is a very "complex" figure at Arsenal, some call him a midfield master, and he played really well in some games, playing a lot of dominating performances; Some people call him a chicken rib character, it seems to be the attribute of an all-round general, but in fact, wherever it is arranged, it is not enough, and it is difficult to make up for the missing things with that advantage.

The first principle of utilitarianism in football, it is clear that Arteta, as the manager, still agrees with the latter's evaluation of him. In the transfer window, they gave up Xhaka's chance at Arsenal and opted for new signings to improve their squad. Of course, from the actual situation, they are not wrong, Rice has almost played the best midfielder level in the entire tournament after integrating into the team; However, Xhaka, a "failed man", did not lower his original level, but completed his self-proof.

The fusion of the all-round master and the passionate young marshal

Yes, Xhaka's stage to prove himself is Bayer Leverkusen. Xavi Alonso has done so many miracles this season, and it has been a glorious achievement for the whole green world. Most people are praising Wiltz, most praising Frimpong and Grimaldo, and only a few sporadic admirers of the team's tactical deployment will place the credit on Xhaka. As Xavi Alonso has said, he is our master.

Xhaka has played a lot of games at Bayer Leverkusen this season and has played to his attendance advantage. With Wirtz recovering from injury, Palacios still lacking experience and Hoffman just arriving, he played a role as a glue to Xavi Alonso's strategy and brought all kinds of teammates together. From a tactical point of view, he is the link of connection, and from a dressing room point of view, he has become the big brother again, and he can always stabilize his position when the team is up and down, which is the key to Bayer Leverkusen's stability.

The 7.49 rating for the entire Bundesliga season is telling, and although he doesn't have the individual show performance of Wirtz, and although he doesn't have the speed and passion of Frimpong and Grimaldo, his value is really irreplaceable.

Just like the performance of the elimination of the Blue Jackets, Xhaka is not the one who scores the goal and does not assist, but he controls the strength in the game, directs his teammates, and maintains the strategic deployment of the manager, which is simply not comparable to others. That's why Switzerland recognizes him at all.

Switzerland is still that Switzerland

His excellent form throughout the season was carried over to the European Championships. After playing the first round of the group stage and the knockout round, Xhaka maintained a personal score of 7.4, which is a guarantee of the team's leadership and stability. Although they are considered by the outside world to be an "old" saber team, Xhaka has used his own efforts to hold on, maintain the bottom line, create a ceiling, and make Switzerland still the Switzerland that cannot be underestimated.

Maybe the Swiss team can't go too far, as they did in the last World Cup, when they were knocked out against a big club. However, the steady maintenance of results is an incentive for them to develop their football careers. To qualify for the group and eliminate the defending champions is a good enough performance, you know, there are many children in Switzerland who have watched the performance of the national team on TV, and among them, the new Xhaka is being inspired to try to imitate and learn from it, this is the inheritance. This is more important than any victory.
