has returned to the Switzerland national team and is not hiding his satisfaction at representing the country again. The Braga defender is preparing for a special double-header, with a visit to North Macedonia, the country of his parents’ origin, before the match against Scotland in Lucerne, the city where he played last season before moving to Portuguese football.

The player also spoke about the experience he has been having in Portugal and revealed that he is fully adapted to the country. “I feel at home in Portugal. The country, the climate and, above all, the Luso-Brazilian style of football suit me immensely,” said the player, who currently represents the Minho side.

Bajrami previously played for Benfica and was therefore asked about the possibility of receiving a less favorable reception when he returns to the Luz at the start of December. The defender does not foresee any problem in that regard and believes that moving to Switzerland and then returning to Portugal is no reason for hostility.

“No, not at all. Moving from Benfica to Switzerland and now returning to Portugal does not create any problem. It would only have been complicated if I had signed for Sporting or Porto,” replied the player, taking a clear swipe at Benfica’s two rivals.

In the same conversation, Bajrami also took the opportunity to praise Braga’s Municipal Stadium and described the experience of playing at the Minho venue. “The stadium is truly impressive, built right into the rock. When you step onto the pitch, you immediately feel that grandeur and a completely unique atmosphere,” highlighted the Swiss defender.
