And during Switzerland’s post match press conference, the inform Arsenal midfielder was asked about Germany’s protest, he replied: “I don’t think we need to do anything as the Swiss team.
“We need to respect the rules and concentrate on our football, that’s all I intend to do.
“We’re here to play football and not hand out lessons to anyone
