The Bayern Munich winger is targeting a win in the DFL-Supercup against Borussia Dortmund and wants to win trophies next season.
Xherdan Shaqiri, who was signed by Bayern Munich earlier this summer from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079, is aiming for a successful debut season with the Bavarian giants. The player wants to start off by winning the DFL-Supercup against the German
champions this weekend and wants to avenge Bayern’s defeat in the DFB-Pokal final at the hands of Dortmund in last year’s final.
The Swiss international is determined to break into the first team in his maiden season at the club and is satisfied with his performances in pre-season for Bayern. The player is confident that the former German champions will
be able to make a strong comeback this time around and is confident of a breakthrough campaign.
Shaqiri is confident that Bayern can knock Dortmund off their perch in a bid to land their first league title in three years.
“It is important to have the desire to win every game, and come out victorious in the crucial duels. Bayern were unable to do this last season. We have every position occupied pretty well, and we desperately want to win the Bundesliga
title,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former FC Basel player added that the Liga Total! Cup was a good tournament and gave the players an opportunity to play top teams to prepare for the upcoming season. Although Bayern lost in the final to Werder Bremen, the winger
is happy with the overall effort.
“Both games at the Liga Total! Cup were good tests for us. They fit in very well in our preparation for the new season. It is important to play many games. We must win decisive games [like the DFL-Supercup against Dortmund]. That's
all that matters at this point,” he concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xherdan-Shaqiri-c37074 is touted to be the next big thing at Allianz Arena. The 20-year-old had a brilliant season with Basel last term where he scored an impressive 14 times in the 38 games he played in all competitions. He will face
stiff competition from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arjen-Robben-c6521 and Thomas Muller for a place in the starting line-up.
