Shaq: Kop style suits me great
XHERDAN SHAQIRI hopes his versatility will lead to more opportunities at Liverpool.
Shaqiri has not featured since his substitute appearance in Liverpool’s opening win over West Ham, with boss Jurgen Klopp naming an unchanged side for the first three games. But the Swiss star, who cost a knockdown £13million from Stoke this summer, says he is relishing the competition for places.
Shaqiri, 26, played in virtually every forward position for Liverpool in pre-season and claims Klopp’s style is “perfect” for him. “The manager has brought a few players in this summer with very good quality who are going to help a lot,” he said.
“I can play every position along the front-line.
“I played every position in the friendlies: I played as a nine, I played as a 10 and I’ve played as a winger, although with the coach you don’t really have wingers as you change positions every time with one player going inside and another player going out.
“That’s really good and I like football the way the coach plays it. It’s perfect football for me.”
