Liverpool travels to Serbia on 6 November, Gerdan Shaqiri receives warning

The Serbian club Crvena Zvezda believes that Gerdan Shaqiri, born in Zjer in Gjilan, will be “under incredible psychological pressure” when Liverpool travels to Serbia this year.

But the club has pledged to protect Shaqiri against the hostile wait it is expected to have when “Redsat” visit their opponent within the League of Champions.

Jurgen Klopp's team will travel to Belgrade on November 6th to meet with Zvezda within the C Group.

Shaqiri raised contradictions during the World when he celebrated his goal towards Serbia, along with Lichtsteiner Jack, making the symbol of the eagle by hand.

Its alignment implies that a possible presentation at the Zvdez Stadium, “Rejko Mitic”, also known as “Marakana”, has become the key point of debate in Belgrade since the King of the Champions League is broadcast.

And Crvena's director-general, Zvezdan Terzic, agrees that although Shaqiri faces a potentially difficult evening, his club will ensure that it is easily passed.

“Personally, I cannot imagine an Albanian playing for Crvena Zvdezda”, he has said in an interview for Serbian Curir. “Zvezda is a Serbian club, Belgrade's Partizan is Yugoslav club”.

I think Shaqiri will be under incredible psychological pressure because he'll know where he's coming, he knows that Zvezda is a symbol of Serbia and playing in Moorana... I don't know if he's going to play”.

Of course, like a football club, we treat our rivals in equal ways, and we shouldn't deal with the past and history. Crvena Ziesda has to do everything she can to make Shaqiri feel like he's come to play and our job is to protect him in case of an unwanted situation. Be a good host”, he said.
