Wolfsburg striker Bendtner
Lord Extra
From Naples reported Hendrik book Heister
About Nicklas Bendtner hear a lot: drunk driving, late arrival at the training. Only with the gates it does not work that way. In summer, the Danish striker for VfL Wolfsburg should have some competition.
Nicklas Bendtner still has fun at his job. This is reflected in trivialities, while warming up before exercise, for example.
When the players of VfL Wolfsburg were shooting on Wednesday night before a workout doing laps around the square at the Stadio San Paolo, to prepare for the quarter-final second leg of the Europa League at Napoli, nobody had a ball at his feet. No one but Bendtner.
He moved the ball between the left and right inside, made stepovers, played the ball with the heel and the sole and rejoiced obviously of life.
The position of the 27-year-old attacker from Denmark is sad. Since summer Bendtner is employed in Wolfsburg. He has not asserted themselves. He comes in 16 appearances in the Bundesliga, most as a substitute, often it is only a few minutes on the court. Only the third time he was over 90 minutes. Just one goal he achieved in the national operation.
Banned for six months from national team
Better its record in the Europa League: In seven games, he hit four times in the 1: 4-humiliation against Naples a week before he succeeded consolation goal. Nevertheless, Bendtner is likely in the second leg in the evening (21.05 clock, live ticker SPIEGEL ONLINE) are back on the bench. "If he gets the chance, I expect he draws attention to himself," coach Dieter Hecking.
Draw attention to themselves - that is Bendtners specialty. But not this happens mostly in terms of his superiors. His reputation is bad for players as the term scandalous pasta it was introduced. In March 2013, he was arrested for drunk driving and had to give up his license, the Danish Association emphasized Bendtner for six months from the national team.
In the game of VfL Wolfsburg last weekend against Schalke 04 Bendtner had actually from the outset to be there, but because he was too late to come to a final training session an hour coach Hecking threw him to the lot of the squad, there was a fine. Bendtner has the unfortunate gift to squander chances lightly.
Arsenal manager Wenger despaired of him
His career is therefore a constant back and forth. At age 17, he came to Arsenal FC, a club where young players under the guidance of coach Arsène Wenger mature to world stardom. Or: can mature. When Bendtner teacher Wenger was powerless. Instead of coming into London to glory, the attacker was a permanent traveler, played on loan at Birmingham, Sunderland and Juventus. He was able to sit down anywhere.
Therefore, the surprise was great when VfL Wolfsburg signed him. Bendtner came free transfer, without great risk for the club. Nevertheless, the question: Why?
So far Bendtner did little to answer.
This is probably because he fremdelt with its environment, that it does not fit so well into the province of Lower Saxony. Bendtner is a man of the world, he collects hats, has homes in London and Copenhagen, according to the career he would like to go in the fashion industry. For training, he likes to come in the suit. In Wolfsburg he took distance from this habit.
More goals for Denmark as Barack Obama
The colleagues reported him out, but that was maybe a bit exaggerated. Bendtner is extravagant, often shoots even beyond the borders of arrogance. "If you ask me if I am one of the best strikers in the world, I say yes. Because I believe it," he is reported to have said.
Through his scandals and his unusual occurrence Bendtner has become a cult figure on the Internet. There are pictures floating around, showing him in Pope clothes, with the Ballon d'Or, the award for the best player in the world. And with great joy, the power people out that Bendtner has scored more goals for the Danish national team as Barack Obama.
He is awesome Lord called by his fans, Lord Bendtner. Since it is only logical that the attacker has reportedly bought a piece of land in Scotland and the honorary title thus officially allowed to wear. The origin of the Internet hype is for him not visible ".? I do not know where it comes from and how to understand it Is it funny Will I be ridiculed Is it so serious," he said in an interview with the "Wolfsburg Allgemeine Zeitung".
Bendtners supervisors at VfL are far away to join the worship. You want to commit an additional forward to the new season, and Romelu Lukaku is called Everton as a candidate. The Wolfsburg know that it is not enough in the Champions League, to rely on goals from Bas Dost - and hope that Bendtner attracts attention at some point in the square, not just next to it.
