KANSAS CITY, USA: Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka told fans to “keep dreaming” as he prepares to lead his team against Lionel Messi’s Argentina in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.
The midfielder said Switzerland’s “overarching aim” was to beat the defending champions and reach the semifinals for the first time.
“Regarding the fans, keep dreaming. I am a person who always dreams and dreams can come true,” he told reporters in Kansas City.
“And if we want to fulfil our dreams, you need to work, you need to sweat, you need to give it 100 percent.
“And sometimes you need to do something new. You really need to push your limits if you want to beat Argentina.”
