Mats Hummels ended his active football career at the end of the season. The time of announcement comes as a surprise for many, the backgrounds make the decision understandable. Even if not everyone was inaugurated in the defense lawyers.
In an emotional video last Friday, Mats Hummels announced his decision to get out of the football shoes at the end of the season.
Consurious from this plan should not only have been many fans. Even close friends and family members only learned at short notice from the final career-off of the 36-year-old, as Sport1 knows.
Mats Hummels will end his career in summer
It was always clear that there was this mind game. In the end it was a variety of reasons that prompted him to take this step.
Hummels experiences turbulent year at AS Rome
After his farewell from Dortmund, Hummels experienced a turbulent year at AS Rome. Sporty and emotionally, his guest appearance in Italy is like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes he is the celebrated hero, sometimes the Buhmann. His role in the team is constantly changing.
This is also related to the frequent changes on the sidelines. Claudio Ranieri is already the third coach at the Romans this season.
The fact that Hummels opted for AS Rome was to Daniele de Rossi, who stood on the sidelines at the beginning of the season and wanted to have the central defender. But de Rossi has long been history and so Hummels often had to change.
Hummels apparently scare another coach change
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere Dello Sport, a new coaching change in summer is almost fixed. Gian Piero Gasperini from Atalanta Bergamo is said to have a three -year contract. Gasperini is considered a trainer who allows men to play and defend Mann against Mann against Mann.
The ideas of Ranieri predecessor Ivan Juric were similar, under which Hummels hardly played a role. This type of game would have been nothing for the young bumblebee. The risk of experiencing a similarly unsatisfactory time is apparently too great for the world champion.
Injuries cause Hummels problems
In addition, Hummels has become more and more difficult with physical complaints in recent years. Again and again the back – nothing unusual for a 36 -year -old professional. But these ailments were with a reason for his inconsistent performance. The recovery time is getting longer.
Accordingly, it is tedious to drag yourself from game to game and through the season, which often consists of English weeks – even if the head did not want to admit it for a long time.
The option to end your career elsewhere was also in the room. But where? Turkey or Saudi Arabia, popular markets for veteran professionals, was never an option for Hummels. Apart from the manageable sporting challenge, money has never been the biggest factor in his football life. Rather, he was concerned with exciting projects.
Hummels’ legend status remains unscathed
He was apparently missing them both at home and abroad. And in general: Nationally, his heart hangs too much on BVB to have imagined a change to his other Bundesliga club. His legend status in Dortmund remains unscathed.
It was always certain: If he finally gave up football shoes, he wanted to communicate it early. Hummels kept word. He should have enough opportunities after his active career: trainer, official, TV expert or whatever.
In summer he finally pulls him back to Munich. Where his family, close friends and girlfriend live and where his son goes to school. Hummels ” end of career has many reasons, but is probably a clear decision for his private life.
