My Take
Niclas Füllkrug is my favourite kind of footballer: the late bloomer who simply refused to quit. Coming up through Werder Bremen's reserves, he spent years in relative obscurity before exploding into Germany's national team striker in his late twenties. At 188 cm he is an old-fashioned target man who bullies defenders and scores ugly, vital goals. In a sport obsessed with teenage prodigies, his long, patient road to the top feels almost romantic. Watching him earn a move to a club like Milan after all that grind, I cannot help but admire the sheer stubborn belief that carried him there.
