Of all things in Kiel: where Marvin Ducksch once played. Where his son lives. There the attacker from Werder Bremen shoots a direct free kick goal. A feat that he celebrates together with his son. And that lets him apply his new motto.
Before going back to Bremen, Werder attacker Marvin Ducksch raised his son Elijah up again and gave him a big kiss. “It was a gift for him,” said Ducksch about his free kick in the loose 3-0 (1-0) at Holstein Kiel.
In the 25th minute, Ducksch had put the ball up, very pointed angle, almost on the baseline, actually a difficult position. But the 31-year-old skillfully circled, the ball dripped into the goal from the inner post. “He was sitting behind me at an angle and should have seen the flight curve well,” said Ducksch with a grin on his face, the son was sitting in row two – of course in the green and white jersey of the dad with number 7.
In Kiel, Ducksch made the breakthrough as a professional, and he once kicked for the storks for a year and a half. His son still lives on the fjord with his mother, but Ducksch tries to spend as much time as possible with him. “I drive up as often as possible and actually see him every week,” said Ducksch once the dike room.
Ducksch sets itself a goal
And maybe he will give his son more gifts in the rest of the season. In any case, the Werder shape of the past few weeks should end with the victory in Kiel. “There is still a lot in it for us. Now we still have seven games, and we want to get as many points as possible from them,” said Ducksch, who gave his start-up comeback after his muscle injury: “We definitely set ourselves a goal.” But Ducksch did not reveal what place of table the green-whites, who were allowed to dream of after a great first half of Europe.
In any case, the striker wants to chatter less in the end of the season. “It was simply for me that I was less talking and more,” he said about his goal celebration, in which he closed his mouth: “I noticed that I was too often negative with the teammates. So rather close your mouth a little more and bring more performance.”
