Lyon a legend in its workforce
Passed from Liverpool to Olympique Lyonnais during the last summer transfer window, Xherdan Shaqiri continues to write his legend in the Swiss national team.
Saturday evening, Xherdan Shaqiri postponed the jersey of the Nati for the first time since the Euro. If his training won against Northern Ireland in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup (2-0), the 30-year-old was not decisive. Despite everything, the attacking midfielder has been precious throughout this meeting. Proof that the Lyonnais is not a player like the others in Switzerland. For that, just look at the importance it had during the last Euro. If his pay took France out in the round of 16, scored him a brace against Turkey in the group stage before planting again against Spain in the quarterfinals. Achievements that brought his total to 26 in 97 selections.
“Still a lot to give”
Suffice to say that Shaqiri is a legend of Swiss football, as David Lemos thinks. “Xherdan Shaqiri is 30 years old today. 97 caps in 11 and a half years, 26 goals for the Swiss team including 8 in the final stages, and still a lot to give. Count on me to revive, when the time comes, the debate on his place in the history of the national team. Top 10 Swiss players? Uh… yes, that’s more than likely ”, a let go, on Twitter, the RTS journalist, who hopes Shaqiri will make a brilliant stint at OL to confirm his status. Recruited for 6 million euros during the last transfer window, the Swiss are struggling for the moment to show themselves to their advantage at Les Gones. But it is after this international truce in October that Shaqiri will be judged at OL.
