Bayern Munich’s new singing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xherdan-Shaqiri-c37074, revealed that he has settled in well at his new club.
The 20-year old joined Bayern Munich from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016, after being at the club for more than ten years. Shaqiri was signed for an undisclosed fee and he penned a four-year contract with the Bavarian side.
Shaqiri made a total of 90 league appearances and scored 17 goals for the Swiss giants. He broke into Ottmar Hitzfeld’s side when he was just 18-years old. The youngster impressed in Switzerland’s 2012 European Championships’ qualifiers
and chipped in with a few spectacular goals.
Considering his young age, the 20-year old has considerable amount of experience with 27 appearances for FC Basel in all European competitions. In his most recent UEFA champions League appearance, the winger set up two goals against
Manchester United, as his side cruised to a 2-1 victory over the Red Devils.
Following his impressive performances against United, the youngster attracted a lot of interest from European heavyweights such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
The Swiss winger eventually agreed a move to the Allianz Arena and joined them at the end of the 2011/2012 campaign.
Few months after his transfer, the former FC Basel player could not hide his excitement and delight, he regarded the move to the Bavarian giants as perfect for his development. He reckons that a massive club like Bayern will make
him an even better player. The Swiss starlet also revealed that he has set his sights on winning titles with the club.
"I'm a winner. The club is perfect for me," said the 20-year-old at his first official press appearance. "FC Bayern wants to and has to win titles. That's the requirement," he is quoted as saying in an interview.
His manager Jupp Heynckes believes that his new signing needs some time to adapt at a club like Bayern Munich, where he will face a lot of pressure from media, fans and the club’s officials.
"We need to bring him up to the Bayern level," Jupp Heynckes was quoted as saying in an interview.
Shaqiri is the type of player who takes everything in his stride; he will not be fazed by the media attention. All he needs to do is establish himself as a first-team regular, and the chance of him nicking Robben’s place is huge.
