Do it like Marco Reus
I did my video and picture about the famous football player Marco Reus. Marco Reus is one of Germany’s best footballers ever, but he never won a super big title in his life. The reasons for the lack of success he had in his career are his injuries. Reus suffered multiple horrible injuries in his career, many of them caused by opponents during a game. His injury history includes around 50 smaller and bigger injuries during his 12 seasons in professional football.
In 2014, Marco Reus was probably in his prime and one of the most dangerous attacking midfielders in the world. Luckily for him, he was part of the German national team that was about to leave Germany to Brazil, to compete in the worlds biggest sporting competition, the FIFA World Cup. With Germany being the favorite for the Tournament and Reus in the shape of his life, everything looked as a setup for Reus to finally shine after his many injuries.
But the it happened, Germany set up a friendly game against Albania as a last test before the World Cup.
Reus, the player who got injured so many times by his opponents, injured himself by landing unlucky with left foot resulting in breaking a part of his ankle. Reus couldn’t play and was injured for about 3 months. Germany went on and won the World cup without Reus. Reus will never be seen as a part that achieved the biggest success in soccer although he was their best player and everyone thought it would be his time to shine.
Many more injuries were coming in the following years, but Reus came back every time and in 2019 the German Bundesliga were seeing a Marco Reus they have never seen before. A player that was even better than before the World Cup in 2014 ,when he was supposed to be in his prime. Marco Reus never gave up and stayed motivated and not to be pitied,although he was getting hit mentally so many times in his career. People need to realize that no matter how often you fall, you always need to stand up again.
The video I created is about the two most horrible injuries Reus had to face in his career and about his 2019 season were he actually was in his prime although he suffered so many injuries before. The picture I created symbolizes soccer through Marco Reus. Soccer br people together, because it has its own culture and passion. This culture and passion can be beautiful so many times for fans and players, but also so mentally hard and devastating. Every person who feels soccer and understands the language” spoken, has huge respect for Marco Reus, but many people need to understand that he is teaching us a lesson about life.
