Last night's 0-0 draw between Switzerland and France was marred by wardrobe malfunction fro 4 Swiss players who had their jerseys torn after
contact with opponents.
Even the Adidas ball costing £105 used during the match burst open during the game leading fans to blast sportswear manufacturer Puma and Adidas, and Switzerland/ Stoke player Shaqiri didn't hold back in his own scathing assessment of the sportswear giant albeit jokingly.
“I hope Puma does not produce c**ndoms.” he told Blick.ch
Granit Xhaka, the new Arsenal midfielder, had to change his jersey twice during the Group A game, while Admir Mehmedi and the striker Breel Embolo also required replacements following tugs that did not appear especially vicious.
“We have had a few problems with the jersey,” Embolo said. “The kit manager is not fully ready yet, but we are.”
Yann Sommer the goalkeeper added:
“It can happen. It means it was a fight on pitch.”
A Puma spokesperson told the Guardian:
“Five Puma teams have played 10 games in this tournament without such problems. Our product people are currently investigating the shirt material. We will provide a further update when we have one.”Labels: Adidas ball, Blick.ch, Granit Xhaka, Puma, Switzerland vs France, Wardrobe malfunction
