The manager, Emery ideally stated that although his behavior during training was perfect, he should apologize to the fans as his actions were wrong.
“He is now very down and we need to support him. My ideal future is to watch again Xhaka playing and every supporter supporting him. I don’t know if I can or will achieve it but this is my ideal. Also for him it’s the same but also I think we need now to be calm step by step so we can progress,” said Emery during an interview on Tuesday.
