16 years old, no one can break the Bundesliga record. At the age of 22, he completely dreamed of breaking through Real Madrid and left Dortmund as a hero at the age of 29.
He won the Bundesliga title at a young age and then joined Real Madrid and Liverpool. After losing in La Liga and Premier League, he disappeared from everyone's sight. Now he has left Bumblebee and joined Bremen to fight for relegation.
As a descendant of Turkey, Shaheen's father came to Germany through labor migration in 1960s. 1In September, 988, he was born in a small town in Rudenschede, the city of North Rhine-westfalen in western Germany, with a population of only 2,200.
At the age of six, he watched all the World Cup matches in 1994 on TV. When he saw Haji's wonderful goal for Romania and the crazy performances of romario and Bei Beituo representing Brazil in the last few games, he decided to become a football player.
Where he grew up, the people around him were either Dortmund fans or Schalke 04 fans, because the two clubs were close to our hometown.
When he was 7 years old, Dortmund scouts first discovered the boy's talent and invited him to join the club's youth training school, but his parents refused because he was too young.
Moreover, Dortmund won another Bundesliga trophy that year. He was completely captured by Dortmund's passionate tactical play, and he completely fell in love with this club. He dreams of wearing a yellow and black jersey on the court one day.
Shaheen first started the training competition from his hometown, RSV Club of Meinertzhagen team. 200 1 year, less than 13 years old, he finally joined the Dortmund youth team. There, Shaheen grew rapidly, and at the age of 12, he was already the main force of U 14.
Dortmund has a special tradition of allowing young players to caddy in some games. In the 2003 Champions League group match, Shaheen was selected as a caddy for Dortmund and Real Madrid.
At that time, Starlight Glimmer of Real Madrid was deeply impressed by the skills of Figo, Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, casillas and roberto carlos. In the second half, he began to fantasize about playing for Real Madrid one day.
After the game, he rushed into the stadium desperately to say hello to Ronaldo. That game also planted a real Madrid complex for the young Shaheen and changed his career.
In 2005, Shaheen was selected as Turkey U 17 to participate in the World Youth Championship held in Peru. He scored four goals in the middle of the attack and won the silver boots in the championship.
Arsene Wenger, the then head coach of Arsenal, was even more attracted by this genius. The professor commented: "Shaheen is the best midfielder in Europe at this age." And hope to bring him to Arsenal for 3 million pounds,
In the 2003-04 season, Wenger led Arsenal to win the Premier League championship with an unbeaten miracle. Wenger is also a coach who is good at training young players. Faced with such temptation, Shaheen chose to refuse.
He said: "I didn't play for Dortmund's first team at that time. If I leave like this, maybe I will never have a chance to wear my beloved yellow and black jersey again, so my life will be full of regrets. "
In the 2005-06 season, Shaheen successfully entered the Dortmund first team. He made his league debut against Wolfsburg in Dortmund and played all the games. He also became the youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga at the age of 65 years 438+06 years 355 days, and no one can break it so far.
After his debut in the Bundesliga, he ushered in the westfalen Derby with Schalke 04, when he was shocked by the momentum of the stadium.
"When we played against Schalke, everything became even more shocking-largely because the fans formed a yellow Great Wall in the stands. There are about 25,000 people in the south stand. The stands are steep and crowded with Dortmund fans wearing yellow jerseys. For me, these fans are the best fans in the world. As for the fans, everyone will admire their own team, but just go to Dortmund once and you will see what I mean. You just need to look around the stadium. In my opinion, this painting is like the Mona Lisa, a great work of art. "
In June of the same year165438+1October, he scored a goal in Dortmund's victory over Nuremberg, setting a new record for the youngest goal in the Bundesliga at the age of 17 years and 33 days.
At the same time, he was also selected for the Turkish national team for the first time, scoring the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Germany, setting a new record for the youngest player and scorer in the Turkish national team.
In a short time, Shaheen became a super demon star popular all over Europe!
From June 2005 to July 2006, Shaheen played 47 Bundesliga games for Dortmund in two seasons, which is good enough for young people under 18 years old.
However, in the summer of 2007, Dortmund loaned him to Feyenoord in the Netherlands. That season, he scored 6 goals in 29 appearances for the team and helped the team win the Dutch Cup.
Feyenoord wanted to buy out Shaheen directly, but Dortmund refused. Shaheen himself also hopes to be recalled by Dortmund. He just wants to play for the team he loves.
In the summer of 2008, klopp took charge of Dortmund, and his arrival completely rewritten Dortmund's fate. He rebuilt the aging giant into a young, passionate and charming team.
Shaheen is the core of klopp's account. In the 2008-09 season, Shaheen scored 2 goals and 6 assists in 25 league appearances. In 2009- 10 season, Shaheen contributed 2 goals and 8 assists in 33 Bundesliga matches.
20 10- 1 1 season, Shaheen went to the next level and played 30 league games, contributing 8 goals and 9 assists. His broad vision and excellent footwork made Dortmund play a pleasing football, and his free kick helped Bumblebee beat his opponent for the first time in four years.
That year, he helped Dortmund win the seventh Bundesliga trophy and the German Cup in the team's history. He also won the title of the best player in the league and FIFA rookie of the year with his outstanding performance.
Shortly after Dortmund won the championship, Shaheen received a text message from his agent, "Nuri, Real Madrid wants you!"
Shaheen recalled: "I've heard my name linked to other teams in transfer rumors before, but never Real Madrid. Now, there they are, white shirts, the Bernabeu Stadium, and history. I still remember the promise I made to myself many years ago, but a part of my body said I should refuse the invitation. Dortmund gave me all this-how can I leave them? "
After consulting with his family, he decided to go to his coach klopp. After hearing the whole story, klopp said, Nuri, this is your decision, but if you choose to leave, you should know that I will always be on your side. You will always be my friend. "
Shaheen finally decided to join Real Madrid: "If I stay, I will dream of living in Madrid every day. At that time, although the body was still in Dortmund, I might lose myself mentally. I can't live with such regrets. "
As the darling of the Bundesliga MVP and Dortmund, Shaheen's transfer to Real Madrid only left his old club a transfer fee of 6.5438+million euros.
However, Shaheen's life in Spain did not get off to a good start. He sprained his cruciate ligament in his first training session since joining Real Madrid, and he will not be able to play for two months before the start of the season.
He said: "I am a little unlucky because summer training camp is very important for the team's tactical drills." Although I have been listening to the coach's tactics and watching my teammates train in the training ground since then, it is completely different from playing football. "
Due to injury, Shaheen didn't get many playing opportunities in Starlight Glimmer Real Madrid, which also included Xavi alonso, Kaka, Ozil, Khedira and others.
20 1 1- 12 season, Real Madrid won the La Liga championship, but Shaheen only played in La Liga four times in the whole season. "I'm trying to recover from the injury as soon as possible, but a club like Real Madrid, if they are winning, will find it difficult to return to the rotation of the team."
In the summer of 20 12, Dortmund called Shaheen, but he didn't want to go home this way. In the end, he chose to join Liverpool on loan, hoping to play his due level there.
In England, far from home, he made little contribution. Although he occasionally has an epiphany, it is difficult for him to maintain a good state for a long time because of injuries.
He has only made seven appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League, and now he is going back to Dortmund. He said: "There always seems to be something missing in my game. I couldn't figure it out either, but then I gradually understood that I wasn't lost in the game, but something was really missing in my life. I need to be a member of Dortmund again. The talent there is the meaning of my playing football. "
After the operation of Shaheen's agent, he returned to Dortmund on loan in June 20 13. After returning home, he was not sure whether the fans in Dortmund South Stand would accept him again.
However, in his first home game in Dortmund, a tsunami of cheers broke out at Stefalen Stadium. "I turned to the Yellow Great Wall and closed my eyes. They are all calling my name. "
I remember klopp telling me that I really thought they would hate you, and then he showed his trademark smile, messed up my hair, and then pushed me onto the court, and the crowd was boiling.
20 12- 13 in the second half of the season, played for the team 15 Bundesliga games and scored 2 goals. The former Turkish genius has come back to life.
In the 20 13- 14 season, Shaheen made 34 appearances for Dortmund. You don't believe it, this is the season with the most appearances in his career. He, Royce and mkhitaryan led Dortmund to play offensive football again.
That season, Dortmund won the second place in the league. Although he only contributed 2 goals and 2 assists, his passing and scheduling were indeed the soul of Dortmund that season and he was also selected as the best team in the Bundesliga that season.
In the following seasons, due to injury and age, Shaheen's playing time dropped sharply. On 20 18, Shaheen chose to leave again and join Bremen.
In the season of 20 18- 19, in Dortmund's 2- 1 victory over Bremen, Shaheen, who had joined Bremen, went home again, and Dortmund also held a farewell ceremony for Shaheen. After the game, Shaheen once again went to Dortmund's home south stand to bid farewell to Dortmund fans.
Shaheen once said: "Dortmund is not only a city for me, but also a team. The most important people in my life are there. "
He used to be westfalen's favorite son, but suddenly, in his thirties, he took off his yellow armor.
Although his dream of Real Madrid was not perfect, he gave everything to Dortmund without any regrets.
