>>151259463he just wasn't a student of the game
I still think this was ghostwritten and lahm probably never saw it
>>151269937Then he has different questions to answer. If he got paid for it then it's his work.
>The case of Nick Woltemade is different. He is 23, a good year older than Wirtz, but became a regular player in a first division team only after scoring two goals against Heidenheim nine months ago. At the age when Wirtz won the double with Leverkusen, Woltemade was playing on loan in the German third tier for a season.>It is unclear how well he will perform in the Champions League. He has not played in the competition because Stuttgart did not include him in their squad for it last season. He has not yet scored against big teams, his most important goal coming in the cup final against the third-tier side Arminia Bielefeld.>He is a player with virtually no track record. At the European Under-21 Championship this summer, he was the top scorer – the best footballers, such as Lamine Yamal, Bellingham, Jamal Musiala and Wirtz, do not take part in such tournaments having long since outgrown the level.>Woltemade is unpredictable, his dribbling, passing and shooting are not found in the textbooks; they are unique, with no international comparison. Unlike other top players, his centre of gravity is rarely at the centre of the movement. He thrives on his free spirit and self-confidence and seems to want to reinvent the game at No 9.>But he has not yet developed any consistency or patterns – not in his first touch, not in his combination play, not in his timing on headers, not in his shooting. His goals are not the logical consequence of excellent actions and skills. His excellence is not repeatable. And he still has to prove that he can last 50 games in a season, because he is tall but not robust.>The £73.5m that Newcastle are paying for Woltemade is a gamble. For the player, the new contract is a once-in-a-lifetime project. He wanted to go to Bayern Munich, and when someone else paid the asking price, he went there. The owners from Saudi Arabia and the club’s management are new to the business. In a gold rush atmosphere, mistakes are made and miracles are believed in.
>>151269937desu it's a translation from his Zeit column that has been going since 2021so it isn't chatGPT at least
>>151270524He might have put his name to it but I just don't believe philipp lahm really wanted to offer his thoughts about this subject in an English newspaper for the fun of it. It's a weird article that comes off as a highly partisan attack (Bayern's contention wasn't that Woltemade was a poor player but about his valuation, so it's odd that this is the bulk of the piece). My suspicion is that either Bayern's board are behind it, or both the board and FSG are working together which I find equally probable
>>151270892>diversity>enrichhe knows the English audience
One of my favorite players but good god Lahm is kinda dumb
>>151270620>for the fun of itNo he got paid
>>151271099pretty grim if one of your favourite is one of the most boring fullbacks of all time
>>151271110I'm a sucker in general for that early 2010s Bayern, Lahm, Robben, Ribery, Klose and so on. Kind of team that is stuck in my mind.
>>151259463>bundesliga player might not do well in PLNot really ''out there'' is it?'
just dont get why this cunt is so saltydidnt bayern pay 100m for an english 30 year old?

>>151259463F
>>151259463Hoeness does the same thing. He claimed Bayern "couldn't afford" Caicedo (lol).Germans have to feel morally superior to other clubs or they can't get their horn on. It's like an entire nation of Liverpools.
>>151269937He probably is a paid actor for betano or tipico

>>151290100He's writing for the Guardian. You're not allowed to be happy then, in case you write something optimistic about the UK.
>>151273479>but suppose for a second that your house was ransacked by thugs, your family was tied up in the basement with socks in their mouths, you try to open the door but there's too much blood on the knob..
