Commenting upon the Xhaka brothers duel, that will take place tonight, when Arsenal (Granit Xhaka's team) and FC Basel (Taulant Xhaka's team) will face eace other, for Champions League Matchday 2, Gunners manager Arsène Wenger:
“Of course, Xhaka and Elneny have helped me a little bit analyzing Basel. Because Xhaka plays against Xhaka tomorrow, and so it’s a family job basically. I think they might hide each other some truths as well, but of course we know Basel well, because we bought Elneny last season from Basel.
It’s the team that has dominated the Swiss championship for years, and they have had excellent results in England, because they have beaten everybody - Man United and Chelsea, and [drawn against] Liverpool. So they have made strong results in Europe.
They are a team who are used to playing in the Champions League. It’s not a newcomer or a beginner in the Champions League, they have huge experience in the competition. This experience goes through the generations, and this is why they’re not intimidated. I don’t expect them to be intimidated at all. On the other hand, they have nothing to lose. That’s always dangerous".
