DUESSELDORF , June 15 — Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka is now on good terms with manager Murat Yakin, he said yesterday, playing down reports of rows over strategy during a poor qualifying campaign marred by late blunders.

“He came to see me many times ... We had dinner together. We’ve drank a lot of wine together. So everything is going fine. We are both ambitious and we want to be successful for ourselves and for the team.Midfielder Xhaka, one of Switzerland’s key players, has earned a reputation for his fiery temperament and occasional tantrums at being substituted.
