Biography of Valon Behrami
Valon Behrami (born 19 April 1985 in Mitrovica, Kosovo, ) is a Swiss midfielder currently playing professional football for S.S. Lazio of Italian Serie A.
Born in Kosovo to Albanian parents, Behrami moved to Stabio, a village in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland, due to war when he was only a child, and he then obtained the Swiss nationality.
Behrami started playing football in Swiss sides FC Stabio, FC Chiasso and FC Lugano. After a number of impressive appearances with FC Lugano, Behrami was jointly signed by Italian teams Genoa and Udinese, and played the Serie B championship with Genoa in 2003. In 2004, Udinese sold its rights on Behrami back to Genoa, and loaned him to Hellas Verona, again in Serie B. After an impressive season played with Hellas Verona, Lazio signed him in the summer of 2005. He is used to wear the #85 jersey, as he does for Lazio. He has made € 6 000 000 so far in his professional career.
Behrami has also been capped for the Switzerland national football team at the Under-18, Under-19 and "A" levels. However, Behrami has also expressed the wish to play for Kosovo if the area should gain independence.
For the Swiss national team, Behrami scored a very important goal against Turkey in the Stade de Suisse in the last 2006 World Cup barrage.
During the World Cup he endured a groin injury which put him on the side for the first two matches. On the third match he was subbed in the game, in the 88th minute. He did not participate in the goaless loss to Ukraine in the final 16th, round. Some feel that the decision by coach Kobi Kuhn, not to put Behrami in the game was a very poor mistake.
