In 2014, the now 32-year-old was part of the
DFB world championship team
, but did not appear in Brazil.
After positions at
Galatasaray Istanbul
,
VfB Stuttgart
,
SV Darmstadt 98
and
KFC Uerdingen
, things had recently become quieter around Großkreutz.
Again and again the all-rounder made headlines with scandals away from the grass.
Apparently, Großkreutz only wants to
kick the ball
in the
amateur area
in the future
.
“Unbelievable, these many moments.
I am incredibly proud to have experienced these moments with you.
It may not have been a picture-book career when I think of the doner kebab throw.
Or the exit in Stuttgart, which was not nice.
Everyone makes mistakes, the most important thing is that you stand by them, ”said Großkreutz in his emotional message.
