The most controversial father
He is known as the most strict and controversial father.
However, his dedication and efforts to push his sons out of their comfort zone is the sole reason for Xherdan's success.
He is proud of his son. Isen also mentioned that they had difficult times in their life; they have been poor and rich, but he had fully supported his son in both circumstances.
He also said that his kids are not born with a silver spoon, which pushed them to work harder, and among his three sons, Xherdan is born lucky, which makes him more special than the rest.
Isen's protective wife
Isen's wife used to work as a cleaner in office buildings. Therefore, she is protective of her son.
She doesn't want her son to be hurt while playing football, so she prefers to hear about his personal life rather than the football while talking to Xherdan on the phone.
According to his mother, Xherdan is a big fan of his mom's food, especially her Albanina specialties. But Fatime is sad because she cannot cook food for her son as he lives far away in England.
About Isen
