Berlin, October 2 (EFE).- “My wife was cooking broccoli yesterday,” the answer Karim Adeyemi gave when asked about his performance against Celtic, including a hat trick, on the second day of the Champions League.
Nutritionists say that this vegetable is richer in vitamin C than oranges, it is a good source of calcium, it provides iron that can be given to the body and it has a good dose of potassium. Watching the performance of the Borussia Dortmund player on Tuesday at Signal Iduna Park, few will doubt the qualities of this vegetable.
Because Germany’s performance against the Scots was full of all. It showed the antioxidant abundance of vitamin C, the stability of calcium, the strength of iron and the explosion of potassium.
In a game in which Nuri Sahin’s men were in charge from the start, the only moment of doubt, after Celtic’s equaliser, was dispelled as soon as Adeyemi caught the ball. First with an explanation from the best experts, after a good combination between Guirassy and Brandt, to break the tie.
Then, with a cannon shot from the top of the area that stunned goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and his own team alike. Then, to suffer an innocent penalty that the Guinean striker converted from eleven meters. And, finally, to get another whip from the face changed to the right post.
Four actions, like those four nutrients in broccoli, that led to a duel in which Sahin’s men were cruel to their harmless rival, especially Adeyemi.
The only sad note for the winger was his injury after a puncture in his right thigh at the start of the second half – a special extra dose of potassium was needed – which prevented the shocker from gaining more weight in a performance that was going to be historical.
Until Tuesday, only 44 players had scored a first-half hat-trick in the nearly 70-year history of the Champions League. Since that night, there are now 45.
The desire to return to the national team
The severe thigh injury is putting him down in his prime, especially with a view to an international break in which he wanted to return with Germany, after more than two years without wearing the jersey’ Mannschaft’.
His last appearance with the team then coached by Hansi Flick was on June 11, 2022, when he was used in the last five minutes of a Nations League match against Hungary. He would later be recruited for the World Cup in Qatar, but did not take the field at a major international tournament.
In November 2023, he had a disagreement with the Federation which has since marked his relationship with the national team. At a time when he was going through a low moment of form, he was not called up for that break’s internationals against Turkey and Austria, but was instead called up for the under-21 side. .
Adeyemi thought that was a problem and did not appear with the team, which earned him a public rejection from DFB president Bernd Neuendorf: “I think he should be proud to wear the eagle on his chest,” he said at the time.
“I hope to come back soon,” he told the electric striker after his impressive performance in Europe’s big club competition. Perhaps by continuing with more rows of broccoli you will achieve it.
