Liverpool attacker Shaqiri ready for Red Star: I'm not afraid of anyone

Liverpool attacker Xherdan Shaqiri insists he's unconcerned about going to Serbia for their Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade.

Shaqiri is expected to be given a hot reception over his Kosovo roots.

But he told Blick: "I'm not intimidated at all. I read what was written. But I'm calm and just want to go there to play football. I'm not afraid of anyone."

On his situation at Liverpool, Shaqiri continued: "I am very satisfied. When you see what kind of players are not even sitting on the bench. I have to work well every day in training and show myself. I also have a really good relationship with the coach. All good."
