The winger Serge Gnabry has recently scored a hat-trick for The Mannschaft on his debut for the German national team in the 8-0 victory against San Marino. The 21-year-old player helped his national team record their 4th consecutive victory in the qualifiers for the World Cup 2018 in Russia. The winger equalled a record, which lasted 40 years – the hat-trick, scored by Dieter Muller in 1976 for West Germany. However, when Joachim Low has called Serge to invite him to the national team, Gnabry has thought that this has been a joke.
“Germany’s coach (Joachim Low) called me and I had to think about whether this is true or not. There were many jokes on the radio and I really did not want to become a part of such,” Serge Gnabry said in an interview after his first match for the German national team.
To continue with, Serge Gnabry started his professional career at Arsenal, but he couldn’t win his place among the starting eleven. The winger only recorded 21 matches in his first 4 years in the professional football. But, he made a real furore at the Olympic games this summer, scoring 6 goals in 6 matches for Germany U23. Shortly after his great performance in Rio de Janeiro, Gnabry received an offer from Werder Bremen, where he has found the net on 4 occasions in just 9 matches. So, no wonder why Joachim Low has decided to call him in the squad.
“I wouldn’t be that good, if I hadn’t been in England. I learned everything there and my spell at Arsenal helped me a lot. That’s why I am that fast and I have become the player I am. It’s normal for a young player to keep improving,” the hat-trick hero added after his successful debut for The Mannschaft.
