🐐 Call from the GOAT: Ducksch explains his Werder exit | OneFootball

In Bremen, Marvin Ducksch developed into a national player and was a regular starter until the end. Nevertheless, the 31-year-old decided to leave the club last summer. A single phone call played a major role in this decision.

“When I came for the medical check and to sign the contract, they handed me the phone and I got to talk to Tom Brady,” revealed the two-time national player on the podcast 'Auf der Linie'.

“That inspired me even more, to actually speak with the GOAT in person. That’s when I knew for sure that I had made the right decision,” Ducksch said, still convinced about the move.

He does not see joining Birmingham City as a step backward “by any means.” The project behind it is very exciting. “I always set high goals for myself – and the club’s ambitions match my own,” Ducksch is certain.

However, things have been slow so far for the striker at the English second division club. In the current season, he has only made four competitive appearances, and is still waiting for his first goal. Additionally, the Dortmund native is currently sidelined with an injury.
