Euro 2016: Romania vs Switzerland - 5 key players to watch out for

#3 Xherdan Shaqiri

Nicknamed ‘The Alpine Messi’ – The Stoke City man and former Bayern Munich star, Shaqiri, will be a treat to watch in this game. He has excellent vision and tends to be unpredictable with the ball at his feet.

His main strength is that he is adept with both the feet. He has garnered 17 goals in 54 international appearances and has represented Switzerland at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups. Shaqiri has a hat trick to his name in the last World Cup and had a good time in the Euro qualifiers as well.

His versatility will be vital to battle out a strong Romanian defensive wall. He has earned the reputation of stamping his authority in big games while playing for Switzerland. If the Swiss are going to stick to their attacking game then Shaqiri will be the fulcrum around which their attack will revolve.
