"German Messi" has written a small article to remember, those players who were originally "crowds", how are they living now?
In a 2016 interview, Marko Marin, who officially transferred to Olympiacos, confessed that the nickname "Messi of Germany" had caused him a lot of trouble:
"I didn't think too much about the title, Messi is Messi and he's completely at another level compared to other players in the world. But everywhere I went, after I played a few good games, people would say, 'This is our new Messi.' Even here [in Greece], after I played the first game, the same situation started again.
"It's good to be compared to Messi, but no one really thinks I can compare with him, we're just similar in style."
In 2013, Marin won the Europa League with Chelsea
In the 2007–08 season, the then 18-year-old Marin made his first-team debut at Borussia Mönchengladbach, helping the team to the Bundesliga. He himself was selected for the 2008 Euro 2008 Squad germany squad for his amazing performances. Although he was not able to enter the 23-man roster in the end, Loew's attention was already a great affirmation of the youngster.
With his height of only 1.7 meters, some Borussia Möncheng fans called him a "matchbox" when he came to prominence, but more people liked to call him "German Messi". This title is not all media hype, Marin's dribbling, creativity, and sensitivity can indeed make people see the shadow of Argentines. At that time, there were a large number of new stars in German football, and Marin was regarded by many as the leader of these people.
In 2009, he moved to Bremen, where he and the former Arsenal No. 10, who can't be named, formed a front-line attacking duo, and both were taken to the World Cup in South Africa by Loew.
Marin came off the bench in his first two group games, but was never given a chance to appear in the World Cup due to his poor performance in the 1-0 defeat to Serbia in the second match.
At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Marin wore the German team's No. 21 shirt
The "spiritual Turk" seized the opportunity and became one of the most watched stars of the World Cup. After helping the Germanic chariot to finish third, he also put on the Real Madrid shirt as he wished.
Marin did not sink down, and after returning to Bremen, he gained more freedom without "big eyes" around him, contributing 11 assists in the 2010-11 season and further improving his position in the team.
However, Bremen has been hovering in the lower half of the standings, and Marin has to "choose a good bird to live in". The opportunity to go to higher stages came in the summer of 2012, when Chelsea, who had just miraculously won the Champions League under their famous star Di Matteo, threw an olive branch to Marin, and the two sides hit it off.
During the pre-season, Marin performed well and everyone thought he would be a key player for the Blues in the 2012-13 season. However, the ensuing strain of the hamstring shattered all hopes. Soon after, Di Matteo, who brought him to West London, was dismissed, and his successor, Benitez, did not trust him, and he only played in the Premier League six times throughout the season.
Marin celebrated his only goal for Chelsea
In February 2013, Chelsea played Vera, and although Marin only came on as a time-consuming "tool man" substitute in the 91st minute, he scored on the first touch of the ball to help the team win 4-1. It was a rare highlight for him at the Blues and the only goal of his Blues career.
He was nominally a Chelsea player for the next three seasons, but never played a single official game for Chelsea. In the 2013-14 season, he was loaned to Sevilla and was fortunate to be a member of the Europa League champions for two consecutive seasons; then he was loaned to Fiorentina for half a year, he did not play a single Serie A game; and in the following six months at Anderlecht, the hamstring strain became the main theme again.
In the 2015–16 season, he made an increase in Trabzon Sport's appearances, with a total of 29 in all competitions, which also allowed him to officially transfer in the summer of 2016, which is the Olympiacos mentioned at the beginning of the article.
After spending two years in Greece, he went to Red Star Belgrade; another year and a half later, he moved to saudi Arabia, where he is currently staying, and joined Al-Ahli of Jeddah, where he was loaned to Rad in February.
In 2014 Marin won the Europa League with Sevilla
Despite his turbulent career and the fact that he did not develop into the person and what he wanted to be, Marin, 32, still has no regrets about his decision to run to Stamford Bridge:
"I set out there hopefully, pre-season started well, and then I suffered a serious injury and it was difficult to reintegrate into the team. Maybe I didn't get enough of the game to show my strength, because Chelsea always have a lot of good players and it's not easy to play.
"When I'm out on loan, I get in touch with the club via video once a month and after each game they send me a data analysis report. Chelsea have done a good job targeting loan players because of the presence of Paul Ferreira and Eddie Newton, who have been in touch with them.
'You don't feel forgotten by the team because you were loaned out, so I'm very happy that I was a member of Chelsea and I'm still a Chelsea fan.
