Mnchen – May we introduce: Here comes Keanu Staude, new member of TSV 1860! Named after a real Hollywood movie star.
Keanu Staude: Named after a chosen one
As Thomas Anderson alias “Neo”, actor Keanu Reeves made himself immortal in the award-winning Matrix trilogy: From a young hacker, Neo becomes a superhero who breaks out of the artificially created matrix – and mankind is the “chosen one” in the seemingly hopeless fight against the machines “should help to victory. “My mother thought the actor Keanu Reeves was very good – and so did the Matrix films,” said the 24-year-old New Lion with a laugh in a virtual press meeting yesterday. As the sixty “chosen one”, Staude, as sports director Gnther Gorenzel explained, is an unpredictable element to penetrate the opposing defensive bulwarks. “I prefer to play in the center, I am very enthusiastic and creative,” said the flexible offensive player, serving his hopes.
A failure at TSV 1860 will benefit Staude
How fitting that midfield leader Richard Neudecker will be banned from relegation candidate MSV Duisburg (2 p.m.) next Saturday. “I think that I could help the team in this position,” said Staude for his starting eleven: “I could play for 60, 70 minutes. Against Duisburg I definitely have three points!” The self-confidence of the creative kicker corresponds to the conviction of a superhero. When asked about his goal with 1860, the 86-time second division player – contrary to the mostly cautious comments from the white-blue camp – said full-bodied: “The rise!”
Staude thinks big – even for this season
On request, whether the Bielefelder signed the current season until the end of the season, but with an option to extend it
says, he replies: “Of course that is still possible this season!” He describes his big dream like this: “You always want to play in the top league in Germany.” The heroic role model? Cristiano Ronaldo, quotation from Staude: “He is the ultimate.” Staude’s motto: Think big!
Unpleasant incidents that have strengthened him mentally
But does he also follow action? Sechzigs Neo suffered serious setbacks on the way up: For example, the published voice message of his insults against his Bielefeld colleagues, including 1860 teammate Stephan Salger. “I’m a Bielefeld boy, I grew up there. Then suddenly you are no longer popular, 26,000 spectators are booing you in the stadium,” says Staude. This was followed by the misunderstanding with the second division team Wrzburger Kickers – and the corona infection in 1860. Lots of things that made Staude “mentally stronger”.
Can the vegan resist Mlders’ Leberkssemmel?
In 1860, after his two short stints, he wanted to “play a lot” – perhaps driven by the super strength of his seatmate Sascha Mlders and his meat loaf: “I was vegan for a year and a half, but I ate that with Sascha’s rolls. Doesn’t seem like it to harm – maybe I have to do that too. “
