Ruan (12) receives the first surprise call from Arsenal star Granit Xhaka. The disabled boy is a huge fan of Xhaka and has lived in quarantine with his family. Granit: «In my conversation with Ruan and his family, I felt an incredible amount of energy and strength. This joy that I wanted to give came back twice. At least.”
Sommer highlights a phrase from the nurse
National goalkeeper Yann Sommer calls Thusis GR hospital in Mönchengladbach. Madlaina, a professional nurse trainer and nurse, is surprised by the call. Sommer: “A phrase from Madlaina stuck with me: ‘We just do our job’. This, of course, was impressive how she copes with her everyday life as a nurse, even in times of Covid. “
Lionel (8), junior goalkeeper from Canton Bern, has Liverpool’s magical midget Xherdan Shaqiri on the screen in front of his nose. Lionel’s father was corona-positive, the family was in quarantine. Shaq: “Lionel was quite amazed when he saw me. Surprise and shyness were written on her face. But I felt how much he was looking forward to our reunion. “
Petkovic “deeply impressed” by the nun
At the St. Andreas Women’s Monastery in Sarnen OW, Abbess Rut-Maria, an avowed fan of the national team, talks with coach Vladimir Petkovic. The nun says: “It is good for the soul if you play football well.”
The national coach after the conversation with the clergy: “It is important for us to encourage the Swiss who are particularly affected at this difficult time or who make a particularly valuable contribution to society. Sister Rut-Maria is there for other people, listens to them and gives them strength and support. People like you deserve respect and recognition. During the half-hour conversation, I was deeply impressed by the calm and strength with which she faces her daily life. It’s good that there are people like her. That other people can open their souls and talk to someone about anything. “
There is a special Christmas present for the four surprise guests from the “Merry Christmas” video: when Corona finally allows it again, they and their families will be invited to one of the upcoming international matches.
