😶 Because of fan protests: Germany star looks fed up | OneFootball

Anyone with an internet connection has seen one of those videos at some point. For about a year and a half now, national team player Leon Goretzka has been haunted by an internet clip that went viral back then, and many fans still follow it by loudly drawing out and shouting his name whenever they encounter him.

This trend has not only followed him at FC Bayern Munich, but now all the way to the USA as well, where he is preparing for the upcoming World Cup together with his teammates. According to a report by ‘Bild’, the departing Bayern star also had to put up with those shouts around the DFB team’s opening training session yesterday, Monday, in Winston-Salem — and not just once.

While the report by ‘Bild’ and the videos do show that Goretzka did not react to the attention, the newspaper claims to have learned that the repeatedly occurring shouts bother the DFB midfielder quite a bit. The fans’ actions are also said to have already caused annoyance around FC Bayern.

Kind of understandable, right?
