Life Journey

Sergio Agüero was born on June 2, 1988, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His parents had a second child. Adriana’s mother, Leonel, was a homemaker, and his father, Leonel, drove a taxi. Sergio grew up in a large family with six siblings.

In addition to being teenagers at the time of his conception, both parent’s were financially weak. During his mother’s pregnancy, this caused a great deal of difficulty. His family struggled to survive after he was born, and nothing changed much after that. After Sergio was 2 years old, they moved to Florencio Varela. .

Sergio’s father was a football player when he was young, but did not pursue a football career. Sergio, however, retained Sergio’s passion for the game. A financial hardship prevented Leonel from enrolling his son in a football academy, so he took on training his son himself.

Club Career

Before transferring to Al Ahly, El Shenawy started his career in the youth system at his local club El Hamoul SC. He joined the team in 2002 when he was fourteen years old. Before being let go by the club in 2009, he was unable to play a single league game for the senior team. After being freed, he signed up with Tala’ea El Gaish, an Egyptian Premier League team. El Shenawy spent time on loan with Haras El-Hodood when he was at El Gaish.

2013 saw El Shenawy join Petrojet. His performance in the 2015–16 season, which included a run of seven games without allowing a goal and a league-high eleven clean sheets in twenty–two appearances, prompted his previous team Al Ahly to make an effort at signing him.

He returned to Al Ahly in July 2016 and quickly overcame Sherif Ekramy to earn a spot in the starting lineup. In January 2018, he kept five clean sheets in seven games, including a 1-0 victory over Al-Masry in the 2017 Egyptian Super Cup. In the Egyptian Premier League, he also had the best proportion of clean sheets of any goalie.

He assisted the team in winning the Egyptian Premier League in each of his first four seasons. He also won the 2019–20 CAF Champions League to qualify for the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup, where he managed to defeat Palmeiras in a 3-2 penalty shootout after the game finished scoreless after 90 minutes by saving two penalties.

International Career

El Shenawy played for Egypt’s national under-20 football team at the 2007 African Youth Championship after representing his country at the under-18 level. He was frequently called up to the senior Egypt team starting in 2013 before making his international debut in a 2-1 friendly loss to Portugal. Ahmed Nagy, the goalkeeping coach for the national team, praised him for his performance in the game “He played fantastically, and I am thrilled with how he turned out. He should be a member of the national team.”

He was included in Egypt’s preliminary team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia in May of that year.

Prior to the tournament, he participated in friendly warm-up games against Colombia and Belgium. Essam El-Hadary and club teammate Ekramy lost to him for the starting goalkeeper position for their opening encounter against Uruguay, which was only his fourth cap.

He was chosen Man of the Match in the first game after making multiple saves in a 1-0 loss, but he refused to receive the trophy in the Budweiser-sponsored player’s tunnel after the game and instead had it photographed. El Shenawy is prohibited from consuming alcohol since he is a Muslim. Later, he was persuaded to accept the honor as a “historic” medal by teammate Ekramy and Egyptian team director Ihab Leheta, but he again rejected it.

Life of Xherdan Shaqiri

Xherdan Shaqiri was born on October 10, 1991. He is a Swiss professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for the Major League Soccer club Chicago Fire and the Swiss national team.

Shaqiri was born to Kosovar Albanian parents in Gjilan, SFR Yugoslavia. He moved to Switzerland with his parents and three siblings in 1992. Arianit Shaqiri, his brother, is a young football coach. They settled in Augst, a little town near the French and German borders in the canton of Basel-Country.

Because his father did not know Swiss German, he had to start off washing dishes in a restaurant before working in road construction. His mother worked as a cleaner in city office buildings, which he and his brothers assisted with.

His father would send as much money as he could back to Kosovo to other family members, which meant that Xherdan and his family had no additional spending money save for birthdays. He idolised Brazilian striker Ronaldo, whom he said played “like magic”.

Xherdan Shaqiri began his career with FC Basel, where he won three Swiss Super League titles before going on to Bayern Munich, where he won nine domestic and continental trophies despite playing less regularly.

In his debut season, he was a member of the UEFA Champions League-winning side. In 2019, he also won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as the Premier League championship in 2020, Liverpool’s first in 30 years.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been a full international since 2010, and he has almost 100 caps and 26 goals for Switzerland, making him the country’s seventh-highest goalscorer. He represented his country in the FIFA World Cups of 2010, 2014, and 2018, as well as UEFA Euro 2016 and UEFA Euro 2020.

Personal Life

Shaqiri, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, was defined as such in a 2011 scouting report by Jamie Sanderson of The Independent: “Shaqiri is a diminutive, agile, and pacy player with superb technique and balance. He’s left-footed, but he’s equally at home and productive on either flank or as a traditional playmaker, with superb vision and practically no back lift in his passing and shooting.”

He also stated that Shaqiri’s “tricks,” “direct running style,” and “comfort” made him “a dangerous player in practically any attacking area.” While recognising the teenage winger’s outstanding skill and potential to become a top player, he also stated that he had a low work rate and needed maturity.

Football Career

Club Career

FC Basel

Xherdan Shaqiri began his career at his hometown club, SV Augst, and was noticed by FC Basel at the age of eight. He played in the Under-15 Nike Cup 2007 for Basel’s young squad and was voted the tournament’s top player.

Despite interest from other teams, he chose to remain with Basel, where he played for their reserve team in the Swiss 1. Liga from 2007 to 2009. Two years later, on 2 January 2009, Shaqiri signed his first professional deal with Basel, which kept him at St. Jakob-Park until December 2011.

Shaqiri made his Basel club debut as a substitute in Basel’s 2009–10 season opener against FC St. Gallen at the AFG Arena on July 12, 2009. On November 9, 2009, he scored his first goal for Basel in a 4–1 home triumph over Neuchâtel Xamax. He won the national Double with Basel at the end of the 2009–10 season, and a year later he won the league title again.

Xherdan Shaqiri provided two assists in a match against Manchester United in December 2011, which Basel won 2–1. For the second time in his Basel career, he won the Double, consisting of the League championship and the Swiss Cup, at the end of the 2011–12 season.

Bayern Munich

On February 9, 2012, Basel confirmed that Shaqiri has accepted a move to German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich for the 2012–13 season. The reported transfer cost was €11.6 million, with Shaqiri signing a four-year contract with the German club.

The contract would run through 30 June 2016, paying him roughly €2 million per season. He was up against proven internationals Franck Ribéry, Arjen Robben, Toni Kroos, and Thomas Müller for a spot in the midfield.

Xherdan Shaqiri made his debut on July 10, 2012, in a 1–0 friendly win over SpVgg Unterhaching from Bavaria. He scored Bayern’s second goal and assisted Mario Manduki and Claudio Pizarro in Bayern’s 4–0 victory. He helped Bayern achieve first place in their 2012–13 UEFA Champions League group by scoring a goal and giving an assist in a 4–1 win over BATE Borisov.

Xherdan Shaqiri’s first Bundesliga goal came in the final league encounter of the 2012 calendar year, salvaging a point for Bayern in a 1–1 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach, leaving Bayern in first position at the Christmas break. Shaqiri also scored a long-range goal in the DFB-Pokal semi-final against VfL Wolfsburg on April 16, 2013.

Inter Milan

Xherdan Shaqiri joined Inter Milan on 9 January 2015 for €15 million, signing a four-and-a-half-year contract, despite the fact that English club Stoke City had previously expressed interest in signing him. After Andrea Ranocchia took his old number of 23, Shaqiri picked the number 91 for his Inter jersey, which represents his birth year.

In Inter’s 3–1 win over Genoa at San Siro, he was an unused replacement. He made his Inter debut on January 17th, coming on as a 16-minute substitute for fellow new arrival Lukas Podolski. On 22 January, Shaqiri made his Coppa Italia debut against Sampdoria in the round of 16, scoring the game’s opening goal and guiding the club to a 2–0 win to advance to the quarter-finals.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored his first Serie A goal against Atalanta on February 15, 2015, in a 4–1 away win. Four days later, he scored his first European competition goal for Inter, coming off a Zdravko Kuzmanovi pass in a 3–3 UEFA Europa League tie against Celtic.

Stoke City

Stoke negotiated a £12 million price to sign Xherdan Shaqiri in July 2015, however the deal fell through when he did not consent to the move before the club’s deadline. However, the contract was resurrected a month later after Shaqiri agreed to personal conditions and underwent medicals.

Everton had showed interest in him as well, but only on a loan basis, whereas Inter preferred a permanent move. On August 11, Shaqiri signed a five-year contract with Stoke for a club-record cost of £12 million (€14.5 million). Eleven days later, he made his debut in a 1–1 draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road, assisting Mame Biram Diouf’s headed goal with a free kick.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored his first goals for Stoke on December 28th, a first-half brace in a 4–3 triumph over Everton. Bojan’s ball set up the second of these two goals, a half-volley over Tim Howard. His only other goal in 2015–16 came on March 2, 2016, against Newcastle United. In total, Shaqiri appeared 32 times for Stoke in 2015–16, as the club finished ninth.

On the first day of the 2016–17 season, Shaqiri scored a 20-yard free kick against Middlesbrough. However, a calf injury forced him to miss the following six weeks before returning to the squad on 24 September 2016 against West Bromwich Albion, where he assisted Joe Allen in a 1–1 draw.

On 22 October 2016, Xherdan Shaqiri scored two long-range goals against Hull City, becoming the first Stoke player to do it in a Premier League game. On 15 April 2017, he scored another long-range shot against Hull, which was crowned Stoke’s goal of the season. In 2016–17, Shaqiri made 22 appearances for Stoke, who finished 13th.

2017-2018 Season

In March 2018, with Stoke facing relegation, Shaqiri sparked controversy with an interview for the Swiss magazine Schweizer Illustrierte in which he stated that his Stoke colleagues lacked “class” and that even the appearance of Ronaldinho would not help the squad. He appeared in 38 games for the team this season, finishing as the club’s leading scorers with 8 goals and 7 assists.

Liverpool

Senior

2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012

Xherdan Shaqiri was promoted to Switzerland’s senior team in 2010, making his debut in a 3–1 friendly loss to Uruguay on March 3, 2010. After an unexpected call-up from manager Ottmar Hitzfeld, he was named to the 2010 World Cup team. On September 7, 2010, he scored his first goal for them, a long-range left-footed strike in a 1–3 loss to England in a Euro 2012 qualifier.

On September 6, 2011, he scored a hat-trick in another Euro 2012 qualifier, as Switzerland recovered from behind to defeat Bulgaria 3–1. Switzerland also sought to choose him for the Olympic Football Tournament in 2012, but he chose to stay at his current club for pre-season training.

2014 FIFA World Cup

Xherdan Shaqiri did not sing the Swiss national anthem in a World Cup qualifier against his native Albania in Lucerne on September 11, 2012, and did not celebrate after he scored the first goal in a 2–0 win. For the game, he donned boots with the flags of Kosovo, Albania, and Switzerland.

Shaqiri was nominated to Switzerland’s roster for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in June 2014. FIFA crowned him the team’s first-ever man of the match when the Nati overcame Ecuador. He won the same title ten days later in Switzerland’s third and final group encounter, scoring a hat-trick against Honduras, including a 30-yard bending shot, to seal Switzerland’s place in the round of 16. They lost to Argentina 1-0 in the round of 16.

UEFA Euro 2016

Xherdan Shaqiri scored three goals in Switzerland’s victorious UEFA Euro 2016 qualification campaign, all of which came against Lithuania. He scored a brace in a 4–0 victory against them in St. Gallen on November 15, 2014, and an 84th-minute winner in a 2–1 triumph the following June.

In the final tournament in France, he started all four of Switzerland’s matches as they advanced to the last 16. He equalised with a bicycle kick from the edge of the penalty box as they drew 1–1 with Poland in Saint-Étienne; he scored again in the penalty shootout, but the Poles triumphed.

Following Switzerland’s first game at Euro 2016, Shaqiri announced his support for Kosovo if their manager made him captain, in response to Switzerland manager Vladimir Petkovi’s decision to leave him out of that post.

Despite already being a Swiss international, FIFA regulations would allow Shaqiri to represent Kosovo, which had joined the federation earlier that year. However, because Xherdan Shaqiri continued to play for Switzerland after Kosovo became a FIFA member, Shaqiri’s eligibility for Kosovo was also ruled out.

2018 FIFA World Cup

Xherdan Shaqiri was named to Switzerland’s 23-man roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted in Russia. He scored the game-winning goal as Switzerland rallied from behind to overcome Serbia 2–1. He and his teammate, Kosovar-born Granit Xhaka, celebrated their goals with an eagle gesture, a symbol of ethnic Albanians.

Switzerland captain Stephan Lichtsteiner, who is not of Albanian ancestry, made the identical motion to celebrate Shaqiri’s goal, and afterwards supported both players. Xhaka and Shaqiri were fined 10,000 Swiss francs by FIFA for “unsporting behaviour contrary to the rules of fair play,” while Lichtsteiner was fined 5,000 Swiss francs.

In addition, with the goal, he equaled Stéphane Chapuisat’s international goal tally of 21 and moved into Switzerland’s top 10 scorers of all time. Shaqiri represented Switzerland in the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals in Portugal. Eventually, Shaqiri made it to the Tournament Team.

UEFA Euro 2020 and 2022 FIFA World Cup

Xherdan Shaqiri was nominated to Switzerland’s 26-man team for the postponed UEFA Euro 2020. In a group stage encounter against Turkey on 20 June 2021, he scored twice in the 26th and 68th minutes. He scored against Spain in the tournament’s quarterfinals in July 2021. The game ended 1–1 and went to a penalty shoot-out, which Spain won and advanced to the semi-finals.

When he began Switzerland’s final 2022 World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria on November 15, 2021, Shaqiri became only the sixth Swiss player to attain 100 caps.
