In 49 days, 6 Champions League qualifiers, 2 Champions League play-offs, played 748 minutes, missed only 2 minutes, contributed 1 goal and 3 assists, and led the team to reach the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, which is the data contributed by The Captain of Serbian Premier League Champions Red Star Belgrade - No. 10 Marko Marin.
Marco Marin, 30, is a star of the Red Star team. Before he joined, Red Star missed the Champions League for 26 consecutive years, and after he joined, Red Star advanced to the main tournament for two consecutive seasons, and both went through 8 games, creating a good play of low-level counterattack.
On September 2 last year, an hour before the summer transfer window closed, Red Star Belgrade signed German midfielder Marin from Olympiacos for a transfer fee of €700,000.
On the wall of the signing office is a group photo of The Red Star winning the 1990/91 European Cup, recording the glorious years created by Prosenetsky, Mihajlovic, Pantsev and Savičević.
In 1991, Red Star was still a Yugoslav team, Bosnia and Herzegovina still belonged to Yugoslavia, and It was Marin who was born in the Bosnian city of Gradska. This year, 2-year-old Marin moved with his family to Germany and grew up in Germany.
28 years later, when the former Champions League champions returned to the Champions League, the coincidence of fate also allowed Marin to return to the former Yugoslavia after a thousand sails.
These 28 years have witnessed Red Star Belgrade from champions league champions to away from the Champions League to return to the Champions League. It also witnessed Marin's return from the German genius to the fall of the Emperor Star and back to the front south.
Looking back 10 years ago, at the 2009 U21 European Youth Championship, Germany won the championship 4-0 against England, and the German U21 team had Ozil, Neuer, Hummels, Boateng, Hweedes, Khedira and other later world champions, and Marco Marin, wearing the No. 11 shirt, also came to prominence in that tournament, and he was regarded as Germany's Messi.
Also in 2009, Marin moved from Mönchengladbach to Werder Bremen, where he met Ozil, who was half a year older than himself. In the 09/10 season, Ozil scored 9 goals and 17 assists, Marin scored 4 goals and 14 assists, and Bremen eventually ranked third in the Bundesliga, and the Bremen twin stars of Ozil and Marin were highly expected.
In the summer of 2010, both Ozil and Marin competed in the World Cup in South Africa, and their fate was also deflected that year. Ozil was the heart of Germany's front, while Marin played his first two group games as a substitute.
After the World Cup, Ozil joined Real Madrid and has since become the world's top midfielder. Marin stayed in Bremen and fell into a low point with the team.
In the summer of 2012, Marin joined ST European champions Chelsea, but in the 2012/13 season he only played six times in the Premier League, accumulating 143 minutes.
This was followed by frequent loan careers: Sevilla, Fiorentina, Anderlecht, Trabzon. It was not until the summer of 2016 that Marin bid farewell to Chelsea and joined Olympiacos, where he played for two seasons.
When he joined Red Star in 2018, Marin was worth only 700,000 euros. After returning to the Champions League, Red Star was trapped in the death group surrounded by Paris, Liverpool and Napoli, but they still grabbed four points.
Especially in the home match against Liverpool, Marin assisted Pavkov twice to help the team beat the Reds 2-0.
1 goal and 3 assists in the Champions League, 6 goals and 8 assists in 22 league games, helped the team win the league title, which is the data contributed by Marin in his debut season. When the new season comes, Marin, who has ushered in the year of standing, has already put on the captain's armband of Red Star.
Where there are so many Messi in this world, the talent of genius is not so easy to cash in, standing at the top is naturally everyone's dream, but like Marin, after thousands of sails, he still does not forget his original intention, looking for the original dream, such a career, it is difficult to say success, but it is wonderful enough!
