He was a happy, lively, cynical, whimsical player who wanted to be the team leader when Kahn and Ballack left in Germany. He was afraid that he would lose his enjoyment of football. It is such a person who does not want to be a leader, but eventually becomes a generation of leaders.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, a German boy born in the Alps. In his career, he can always see the look of perseverance, and the players who are always full of morale and renew hope at the low point.
At a time when German football was at a low ebb, In 2004 Kahn and Ballack were unable to push the chariot. The appearance of Schweinsteiger was the new shell of this German tank. In 2006, the Germans reached the final four with a violent aesthetic under Schweinsteiger. He scored three goals in the group stage and pushed his own fairytale world away with a three-footed shot at Kahn's honor match.
He was called "Little Pig" by Chinese fans, which seemed ordinary, but he showed such greatness in him. At Euro 2008, Schweinsteiger received a red card for his impulsiveness and the team unexpectedly lost to Croatia. After his comeback, he completed the redemption with one goal and two assists. Portugal was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
In the low days of the team, he changed his mind, gave up his childishness, no longer the cynical player, his face had a little more perseverance. At the age of 26, he has become the most experienced player in the German team. He also returned to midfield from wingers. Since then, Germany has had a strong midfielder, and in the younger teams, they have come for the championship.
In Germany's glorious moments, Schweinsteiger's ankle and knee injuries always tormented him. He missed the first match of the World Cup in Brazil, playing only 20 minutes in the second game, but in the knockout stage he returned from the bench to the starting position.
In the World Cup final, Schweinsteiger was hit in the face by Aguero's waving hand during the scramble, bleeding profusely. After treatment he returned to the field. He was the fearless warrior who led the team to the Hercules Cup with his determination to win.
He always thought he was not fit for his current position as leader. He was fragile, shy, and even after all the major matches, he did not dare to face the brutal penalty shootout. He has always been a real person, always using the most authentic side of himself. He was not like his predecessors, who landslided and did not change color.
However, he completed a scene that many predecessors could not complete, Bayern's "Triple Crown" honor, the Hercules Cup of the German chariot. He is not on his own, but integrated into the team and leads the team to achieve its wishes. He led a powerful division.
He started his career with Bayern Munich in the 2009-2010 season, which was his highlight season. Switching from the flanks to playing at the back, Schweinsteiger made 33 appearances for Bayern, scoring two goals and helping Bayern Munich win both bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles that season.
Schweinsteiger joined Manchester United on 11 July 2015 and played 31 games for United in his first season, scoring one goal and contributing one assist.
Schweinstein has excellent ball handling and dribbling skills, and when carrying the ball, he constantly does the iconic fake movement under his feet, and he has insight into the opportunity to break through or cross. But you can always attack in a moment and complete a wonderful performance.
He is a natural leader who can always infect his teammates with himself and unite the whole team. His credit is always the king of that fairy tale.
