Obviously we are talking about the Swiss Super League where it is not so demanded by the rivals, but he has also left great performances both in the Champions League and in the Europa League, although in these tournaments he has seen more errors due to his desire to take risks with the ball out.. He also stands out in the scorer facet, both in the passing game and from set pieces, either in fouls taking advantage of his powerful shot or from the penalty spot.

Schär started playing soccer in his hometown, Want, considered the small team of the canton of Saint Gallen, after going through all the lower categories of FC Wil managed to debut with his alma mater a 29 of November 2009 in the Challenge League. Even having debuted at the young age of 17 years Schär did not think to earn a living as a footballer and every day before training with his club, worked in a local bank. In the following season he managed to establish himself as a fixture in the FC Wil line-ups and his name began to sound for the great network of scouts that the Swiss federation has in its lower categories.. But it was not until the following season that he made his debut with the Swiss U-20 alongside the magnificent generation of players who two years earlier had won the U-17 World Cup. (Granit Xhaka, Ben Khalifa, Seferovic or Kasami among others).

He had already established himself in the Swiss Under-21 despite belonging to a club that was active in the Swiss second division and that same summer he was called up for the Olympic Games. Participo en los 2 first group stage matches as a starter, but the draw against Gabon and the defeat against South Korea sent him to the bench in the last and decisive match of the first phase. They lost to the one that later won the gold medal, Mexico, and that's where Schär's participation in the Olympic Games ended.

Schär has emerged as one of the best defenders in Switzerland.

That same season, 11/12, his explosion as a player occurred, getting 5 goals one of them against FC Aarau from about 60 metros, this caught the attention of the great power of Swiss football, el FC Basel, who undertook his signing for the ridiculous figure of half a million euros. It was difficult for him to establish himself as a starter, but he managed to fill the gap left by David Abraham and form a very interesting central pair with the Austrian Aleksandar Dragovic. He ended up completing a great season in which he included 8 goals, 4 of them in the Europa League, thanks to them he began to earn a name in European football.

Schär already knows what it is to score goals with Switzerland.

Despite shining with his national team at his club, his performances have not been so brilliant, until winter he maintained his usual level of play and goals as well as outstanding performances in the Champions League, what they were worth to increase his cache in the football market. However, a mysterious knee injury kept him away from the playing fields for about three months., he even had to force his return to try to eliminate Valencia in the quarterfinals of the Europa League.

It seems that he is recovered by 100% of your injury and is already part of the 23 called up by Hitzfeld for the World Cup where he will help his team, one of the covered ones that is less talked about, to try to advance as much as possible and thus win a contract with a great European club this summer.
