Xherdan Shaqiri

Jerdan Shaqiri was named the best player of the youth tournament as a teenager, and having joined the Swiss national team, the striker immediately became the leader of the team. On the pitch, Shaqiri exudes confidence. The coaches note that the professional success of the footballer is in his calmness: no matter who plays against him, the young man easily adapts to any situation.

The biography of the future footballer began in Yugoslavia. Born in The City of Gnilan, but at the age of one,100, he was born in Switzerland with his parents, Kosovo Albanians. A family of large immigrants (except Jerdan, parents brought up four more children), fleeing the fire of war, settled and took root in this European country of great opportunities.

Once in the circle of interests of the rising Jerdan entered football. The 8-year-old was brought to August Academy, from where he moved to Basel in the future, where he first played for the children's team. When the teenager was 15 years old, he experienced the sweetness of the first glory. Shaqiri excelled at the Nike Cup, earning the title of best junior player. Offers from other eminent football organizations poured in, but the Albanian preferred the native walls of Basel.

In the winter of 2009, Jerdan Shaqiri finally joined the Swiss club's adult team. In this position for the first time he took the field in the match against St. Gallen. And the debut goal sent into the goal in late autumn - xamax team could not beat. Then Basel defeated the opponent with a score of 4:1.

Jerdan played three seasons at the club, having established himself as an excellent striker. The young man has 18 goals. Fans remembered the work of the footballer in the match against Manchester United in the Champions League (2011), when his two assists helped the team to victory over the English. In Basel, Shaqiri became the national champion three times with his team-mates and held the Swiss Cup twice.

In early February 2012, football fans learned the news that Jerdan was being sold to the Germans. The Bayern striker has been acquired, and the transfer fee amounted to 11.6 million euros. The Munich club also increased the player's salary, now the Albanian received a year of 2 million euros.

Jerdan put on a Reds jersey at number 11 and threw himself into the fray. In the first fight with Shaqiri, the Bavarians snatched victory from compatriot Unterhaching, but here the Albanian did not excel. But in the next match against Jan (Regensburg) increased personal statistics by one goal (the second goal of the team in this game) and made two assists Mario Mandzukic and Claudio Pizarro. As a result - 4-0.

"German machine" with Jerdan added to the list of trophies with the victory in the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup.

Three years later, Bayern announced the player's move to Inter Milan. Another contender for the player was Liverpool, but was rejected by the athlete, and in sharp form. Jerdan also wanted to see Himin in his ranks at Stoke City (England). The footballer himself was partial to the English. Поэтому, отыграв 15 матчей и забив один гол за «Интернационале», со спокойной душой отправился в Великобританию.

The move was the most expensive in Stoke City's history, with Jerdan costing the club a total of 12 million pounds. However, FC did not regret: in the first game the Swiss made an assist, and four months after signing the contract he scored a goal. During all the time at Stoke City, the young man has hit the opponents' goal 14 times.

Jerdan Shaqiri has been defending Switzerland's honour at international games since the age of 16. As part of the adult team for the first time lit up in one match of the 2010 World Cup, when the national team was fighting with Italy. In the next world championship pleased the fans with a hat-trick against Honduras.

But the most amazing performance happened at Euro 2016, where Shaqiri was entrusted with all four games. The Swiss national team advanced to the playoffs. In the game against Poland took the opponent's goal very effectively - scored a goal through himself.

What only nicknames Jerdan does not bear, including the footballer called "second Messi". He, like Lionel, is considered the leader of the national team, no worse handles the ball, skillfully beats the left foot and easily bypasses opponents. It is noteworthy that the height with weight of athletes is the same - 169 cm and 72 kg. Only Shaqiri is denser in composition at the expense of inflated muscles.

Jerdan does not mind such a nickname, because Messi considers his idol. After the Argentine puts Cristiano Ronaldo. I am sure that the rest of the players can only dream to surpass these two stars of the game on grass.

History is silent about who owns the heart of the athlete. Apparently, Jerdan is still free from the bonds of marriage - to the delight of fans. Fans sometimes go to extreme measures to be in the company of a handsome athlete. Shaqiri told reporters that he once had to go on a date with a fan who threatened to commit suicide if she refused. Says:

The young man is very attached to his family. As soon as I started to earn money on football career, I immediately bought my parents a new house. The old housing did not even have a heating system. Shaqiri's best friend considers her brother Erdin, whom he trusts the most intimate. The relative reciprocates.

Jerdan is open to social media and hosts Instagram and Twitter. He has a passion for watches and quality shoes. Dreams to open a cafe, it is desirable that a business partner was Leonardo DiCaprio. The fact is that Shaqiri is a fan of the American actor. Particularly delighted with the film "The Wolf of Wall Street", admits that once a hundred revised the picture.

In the 2017/2018 season, Shaqiri added eight goals and seven assists. The contract with Stoke City is valid until 2020. But in the spring there were rumours in the press that the player was planning to leave for Liverpool.

Shaqiri, along with his compatriot, also Kosovo Albanian Granit Xhaka, entered the final squad of the Swiss national team, which went to Russia for the 2018 World Cup. And Jacqui's candidacy remained in question - at the end of May he was injured, but in the end it was not serious. Together, the guys found themselves in the epicenter of the scandal with political background.

Switzerland played Serbia in the second round match of the group stage. Shaqiri and Xhaka scored goals. After taking the opponent's goal, both players depicted the flapping of the eagle's wings. The bird is a symbol of Albania. In addition, Jerdan wore different boots - one flaunted the Swiss flag, and the other - the flag of Kosovo.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee investigated and fined each player $10,000. Swiss francs (just over $10,000).

In July 2018, Liverpool completed the purchase of winger Jerdan Shaqiri from Stoke City, the Reds' official website reported. The transfer amounted to 13.5 million pounds as a retreat. Shaqiri, 26, has signed a five-year contract.
