My Take
Oliver Neuville is a footballer I associate with timing more than flash. Born in Locarno and starting out in Switzerland before becoming a German international striker, he built an 18-year career on persistence, racking up 334 Bundesliga games and 91 goals across Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach. At 171cm he was never an aerial threat, which makes that goal tally feel earned through movement and nerve rather than physical dominance. I have a soft spot for strikers who score the late, decisive ones, and his reputation suggests exactly that. To me he represents the dependable late-bloomer type that managers quietly treasure.
