Gerdan Shaqiri has led Basel to the title of Swiss football champion. Shaqiri is a soccer star in Switzerland, while he has full support on the team. That's what your left protector, Dominic Schmidt, talked about.
Shaqiri is not noted for contributing to defence, but Schmidt has said it is not a problem.
It's normal that when you have Shaqiri's qualities and you show up so well, that everyone does something more for you”, Schmidt said. He, however, has added that Shaqiri also works in defence and that all other players give more of themselves.
“It's a good mix”, Schmidt said about “Blestport”.
Shaqiri, a Swiss football icon, is highly regarded in the dressing rooms of Basel.
It brings extraordinary, matchless presence. This makes us all do more”, reports Time.net, broadcast Periscope.
Schmidt has said Shaqiri is a player who requires a lot of everyone on the team, but also from coach and staff.
I think we needed this”, Schmidt said, which is the second time in Basel. The 27-year-old is very important in Basel as he grew up on this team. After leaving Basel in 2020, he played for Grashopper as he returned in 2023. Basel won the title after the long wait.
Schmidt has been asked whether Shaqiri participates in events taking place outside the stadium.
He'd love to. But Shaqiri's personality is so well known in Switzerland that he cannot go anywhere without wearing the” hat.
Shaqiri returned to Basel last summer. He came to win the title and got it. At the weekend, Basel plays in the Cup final and is expected to win this trophy as well.
According to Schmidt, Shaqiri is very social and authentic.
You always have the feeling that he really takes time for you. Whether it's a player, a staff member, a coach, a cook or a janitor. It doesn't matter. He's always taking your time, and he's very nice”
Shaqiri has played some of the biggest clubs in European football and has significant trophy won. But nowhere did he have the effect of Basel, which he currently has. /Periscope/
