The Swiss playmaker feels that the club’s glory supersedes his personal objectives, and is willing to sacrifice his first team berth in place of a major honour.
Bayern Munich offensive midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xherdan-Shaqiri-c37074 has conceded that he will be ready to sit as a substitute for the time being, to make sure that the Allianz Arena outfit win some silverware this season. Franck Ribery is expected
to reclaim his spot from the youngster, after recovering from a fever over the weekend.
The young prodigy suggested that he wants his new side to end their trophy drought of two years, and said that winning trophies had more value to him irrespective of the game time he will get. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Basel-c39079 player started
the league opener which Bayern won comfortably against Greuther Furth on Saturday, with a score of 3-0.
Ribery will be touted to start the upcoming Bundesliga match on the weekend, after healing from his injury. Shaqiri will be disappointed to lose his first team place after impressing in the opening match of the league campaign.
The Swiss maestro believes that the starting eleven of Die Roten is of no significance as long as the team is getting the right results and winning. He is willing to sacrifice his place in favour of a major title this season.
"It does not really matter who features from the start and who has to settle for a spot on the bench. The most important thing is that we act as a team this season," Shaqiri was quoted as saying in an interview.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 international claimed that to win trophies, all the team members will have to perform and earn their spot in the playing eleven. He admitted that he would love to play from the start, but will not mind if he is
restricted to less playing time.
"Only then can we be successful. Even when I end up on the bench in the next few weeks, I still don't really mind, even though every player obviously always wants to play," he finally concluded.
Die Bayern will face Stuttgart at their home ground on Sunday.
