Jann-Fiete Arp's career has stalled.
Reinhard Huebner thinks about how to deal with talents at FC Bayern in his column “nuances”.
Munich - It is a little unusual that football fans from Hamburg to Munich are concerned about the sporting future of a reservist, or better: a supplementary player, a third division relegated player. Jann-Fiete Arp, however, is not a normal kicker, but a talent who was awarded the Fritz Walter Gold Medal three years ago as the best young German player, who at 17 was only supposed to save HSV from relegation, and later football -Germany.
At 21 but lost in the third division at Bayern, relegated to the fourth league, princely compensated with rumored five million euros per year and contract until 2024. The other day Arp told the "kicker" that he had "failed on himself".
Is that him?
Arp is said to be lightning-smart, grounded, without airs, although he had to give autographs to fifth and sixth graders in Hamburg as a high school graduate and take selfies in the schoolyard.
How could early fame have gotten into the head of such a down-to-earth boy?
Jann-Fiete Arp: The move from Hamburger SV to FC Bayern was the beginning of the end
Although he was already heavily ensnared by FC Bayern *, he went to the second division with HSV, he wasn't just a player, he was a fan of this club. He wore, as they say, “the diamond in his heart”. In the second division, however, he could not shine as hoped, after missing promotion he went to Munich. Because of all the money? People close to Arp don't believe that. So because of the great prospects that a club like FC Bayern offers, at least that's what Arp's adviser said. Be that as it may, the (far too) early change at the worst time was the beginning of the end, which for a 21-year-old can of course only be temporary.
The status quo is that instead of playing for Germany at the European Championship or at least for the U21 at the European Championship in Hungary, he has to think about his future.
Regional league with FC Bayern shouldn't be an option, but a step back would cost him an incredible amount of money.
What's wrong?
FC Bayern: Several talents have already been sidelined by the record champions
Now one can complain about the extremely rich FC Bayern, which recently lured the greatest talents of the republic to Munich with a lot of money and often sent them away in frustration.
And you can ask whether it was always the right path for a Sinan Kurt, for example, a Mitch Weiser or a Leon Dajaku, who might have developed better in Gladbach, Cologne or Stuttgart.
They weren't forced, but maybe they were simply wrongly advised.
Does an 18-year-old really believe that he will be able to assert himself right away in the international star ensemble of Bayern?
Did an Alexander Nübel * really think that he would get the much-needed match practice behind a Manuel Neuer *?
Or was it just a greedy “advisor” that saw the chance of really big money?
Karim Adeyemi was carefully introduced to great football
Certainly one cannot accuse FC Bayern of destroying promising German talents, which are only sparsely sown anyway, that would be an exaggeration. The question, however, has to be asked whether the club is not playing a pretty perfidious game with the dreams of young people in the vague hope of picking out the one jewel like Kimmich from the crowd at some point. And the rest? I can go again. The system is tough.
Karim Adeyemi is currently showing how you can get to the top step by step, but sustainably. Moved from Bayern to Unterhaching at the age of ten, there cautiously, athletically as well as personally, shaped, introduced to the big football at RB Salzburg * at an early age, meanwhile already experienced in the Champions League *. And now at 19 at the U21 European Championship. The world of football is wide open to him. But what will happen to Jann-Fiete Arp *? (
