Knack for scoring goals
Shaqiri has an outstanding technique and balance, and has the ability to strike at goal even with a zero back-lift. He can take shot from outside the box, as well as get into dangerous areas on the far post. His diminutive stature limits his aerial threat but he more than makes up for it by taking up intelligent positions in order to beat his marker.
He has scored 34 goals in 186 club appearances in all competitions since the 2009-10 season, when he was promoted to Basel’s senior team. He scored 23 goals in the 130 appearances he made for the Swiss giants, and was one of the key players for them. He’s also scored 12 goals in 43 international appearances at all age levels, a very good record for a winger.
