Granit Xhaka explains why he picks up so many red cards

Granit Xhaka defends his poor disciplinary record at Arsenal.

The Swiss international claims he won’t change himself following his recent red card against Liverpool.

He explains that he will always be at the risk of being sent off and he won’t ever change his approach.

Xhaka has already been sent off twice this season and the most by any Premier League player in the past few years.

He said to Sky Sports: “I’m in a position where I have to make a 50/50. It’s a risky one, of course. People will say ‘Why do you always risk?’ This is who I am. I can’t change myself.

“I need to improve and I need to improve. But in this moment if Jota takes the ball and he scores, they will say ‘Why didn’t you stop him?’ Now I stopped him, and people say ‘Why did you get the red card?’

“After the game, everyone is smarter than in the moment. Myself as well. It’s a moment where I have to make a decision and this time I took the wrong one.

“I feel sorry for the team and the supporters.”
