Bundesliga: Höwedes switches to Lok Moscow: End without horror

Benedikt Höwedes leaves FC Schalke 04 again – and this time finally. After a verbal exchange of blows the year before, Höwedes now goes almost secretly, quietly and quietly. The switch to locomotive Moscow is an ideal solution for the club and the last chapter of an increasingly rare symbiosis in football.

When Benedikt Höwedes was awarded to Juventus Turin last summer, the outcry in Gelsenkirchen was great. “The fans in the Schalker Nordkurve called Christian Heidel, who does not respect the roots of the club, but destroys them. And the new coach Domenico Tedesco? He was criticised right at the beginning of the season for his obviously insensitive treatment of the public’s favourite.

“The Schalker heart goes away”, commented a royal blue trailer via Twitter the farewell of Höwedes at that time still limited in time. A year later the picture is similar, but the reactions are completely different. Anger at and verbal attacks on Tedesco or Heidel? That’s no good. The success in the past season, in which the Royal Blue were runners-up, proved Tedesco in particular right in retrospect not to come out on fire with the well-deserved club icon.

After his return from Turin, Höwedes’ explosives had finally disappeared, giving way to a hope of a peaceful separation. Heidel also stated this a few weeks ago: “We were all of the opinion that we had to clarify this issue somehow in the summer. No pressure, no mud fight. If it goes down now, it’ll be very clean.”

Now the topic that Christian Heidel has been so busy and “a little annoying” over the past few days is off the table. Lokomotive Moscow confirmed Höwedes’ commitment on Tuesday, which had been initiated in the past few days but had mainly taken place in the background. Secretly, quietly and quietly instead of a mud fight. Just like Heidel had wished.

He never tired of saying that “both sides” were interested in change: “We want to go our separate ways”. Gone were the days when Höwedes and Tedesco, who removed the 2014 World Champion with one of his first acts as captain, fired themselves with controversial statements in public.

After Höwedes had also lost his regular position, Tedesco gave the impression that he wanted to chase the international from court with the statement “Don’t stop travelers”, although he had previously repeatedly stressed how important Höwedes was to him. Later he said that this quotation had been taken out of context, but added that he simply did not want to give Höwedes the usual place guarantee demanded.

For a new coach, a legitimate approach in a club that was looking for a new start. Indirectly, however, he repeated his accusation to the former captain, who shot back on his Facebook page after leaving Juventus Turin: “In recent weeks this relationship of trust has been put to the test several times. The captain’s office is only part of it. You can stop travelers if you want.”

The tablecloth between Tedesco and Höwedes seemed finally cut. Why didn’t Tedesco want the world champion? Was Höwedes too vain to compete? Some of the questions that arose at that time remained unanswered. Although Tedesco provided the best arguments in sporting terms with the vice championship, the fans simply knew that there was something wrong with the transfer.

After all, for more than a decade Höwedes on Schalke was the roughing counterexample to the fashionable image of the professional footballer, who only looked at titles and money. The perfect symbiosis of club, players and fans. One of the last real blue-bloods from the miners’ forge, still lacing his boots in Herne West.

Höwedes, who played the role of a football traveller just as much as FC Schalke 04 is busy counting championship titles, sought his fortune at Juventus Turin. There, however, the stairs up to the grandstand or the walk to the rehab center shaped his everyday life. Muscle injuries kept throwing the 30-year-old back.

Höwedes only had three appearances with the Old Lady throughout the season. Höwedes was in the top game against the worst Scudetto competitor SSC Naples. Napoli won 1-0 and Höwedes was subsequently criticised. “Höwedes never really plays safe,” the Corriere dello Sport concluded.

Juve refrained from making a firm commitment to Höwedes after the loan had expired. The Bianconeri were able to do so because the defender was far from making the 25 compulsory games that the Agnelli family would have had to buy. Höwedes was forced to return to FC Schalke, but it was clear to everyone involved that he would come to leave.

Even though Höwedes announced that all disagreements with Tedesco had been resolved: “I am not a resentful person”, Höwedes said before returning to the S04, but Höwedes’ perspective in terms of sport also resembled a dead end after Salif Sane’s engagement and the already well-occupied miners’ defensive.

However, the search for a new employer was slow. As much as Höwedes depended on his own demands to play Champions League with a new club, his chances of being offered a suitable club were so slim due to his susceptibility to injury. Especially as Höwedes was not one of the low earners at Schalke, with an annual salary of four million euros.

When the former Schalke functionary Erik Stoffelhaus, in his function as sports director of Lokomotive Moscow, presented himself to the Royal Blues, however, there was a turn for the better for everyone involved.

Höwedes will play with the Russian champions in the top league alongside Jefferson Farfan in the coming season, but at just 30 he will have to take up the mortgage of a league that is at best mid-range by European standards. The fact that Moscow will be his last station in his career is at least indicated by the duration of his contract (4 years).

The miners, on the other hand, save eight million euros in annual salary and receive a further five million euros in reimbursement. Money that can be invested elsewhere. There are increasing rumours, for example, that a replacement for the long-term injured Bastian Oczipka could still be invested in. “It is no secret that we keep our eyes open,” said Heidel.

The end of the Schalker Institution Höwedes may appear from a football romantic point of view in a sad light. But all in all it remains an end without horror – for the player, the club and the fans. Although even talking to one end doesn’t hit the nail on the head. “For once Schalker, always Schalker”, Höwedes already knew this a year ago.

Juventus 101: What you need to know about the 2018 MLS All-Star opponents

div.video-js { width: 100% !important; height: 0 !important; overflow: hidden; position: relative; padding-top: 56.2%; }

March 22, 20181:49PM EDT

Juventus are officially headed to Atlanta for the 2018 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target. There, on August 1, the Italian club will face off against a group of MLS’s best players in the league’s annual summer showcase. If you need a primer on this year’s All-Star opponent, look no further:

They’re Italy’s most decorated team

To put it simply, Juventus’s success in Serie A is unmatched, and it’s not even close. If you’re more closely attuned to US sports, think of them being equivalent to the New York Yankees. Juve are by far the most successful team in Italy, with more Serie A and Coppa Italia titles than any other team in the country, including a current streak of six league and three cup wins. They have also won every trophy on offer in European play, including two Champions League wins (1985, ’96), and have reached the Champions League final on seven other occasions, most recently in 2015 and 2017.

… and have a fan base to match

Befitting their status as the country’s most successful team, Juve are one of the few teams in Italy that has a truly national following. This can be attributed not only to the club’s success on the field, but also due to migrants from all over Italy coming to Turin to work for FIAT – founded and run by the same Agnelli family that has run Juventus since 1923. That combination of on-field prowess and social circumstance has led to Juventus fan clubs being established all across Italy, giving them an abundant support no matter where they travel in the nation of 60 million.

It’s not just the fans who are loyal

In an era that has seen the near-extinction of the “one-club man,” Juventus continue to inspire loyalty in many of their players. Though they all started their careers elsewhere, the trio of Alessandro Del Piero (who left the club after 20 years, in 2012, as the all-time appearances and scoring leader), Gianlugi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini have played the vast majority of their club ball for Juve and become icons on the national team. Along with current midfield mainstay Claudio Marchisio – who grew up a Juve fan, joined the academy at age 7, and has been with the club ever since (save for one year on loan) – they are some of the many held in high esteem by fans for their willingness to stick with the club through thick and thin.

The Youth

Juventus is not an Italian word – rather, it is the Latin word for youth, stemming from the club’s foundation by a group of students in 1897. The club has also acquired many nicknames over the decades, with the most notable being La Vecchia Signora (“The Old Lady”). If that seems an odd nickname for a club whose name means youth, that’s the point – the name came about in the 1930s as a pun on the club’s moniker.

MLS connections

There’s one Juventus alum beyond all others to have made a significant mark on MLS: Toronto FC’s Sebastian Giovinco. The 2015 league MVP joined Juve’s youth academy at age nine and appeared in 132 games across all competitions for the senior team, helping them to a pair of Serie A titles before moving to Toronto in 2015.

Andrea Pirlo is perhaps the the most recognizable former Juventus player to have later moved to MLS, while Marco Di Vaio and Antonio Nocerino are two other notable former Juve players to have played in MLS in recent years.

There’s also a potential sibling connection between Juve and the MLS All-Stars – the 2018 All-Star Game could see Columbus Crew SC’s Federico Higuain face off against younger brother Gonzalo.

International stars

Unsurprisingly for the most successful team in one of the world’s strongest leagues, Juve have attracted their fair share of international star power, even from outside Italy. Among the notable international stars who have pulled on the black-and-white stripes over the years are: Zinedine Zidane, Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal, Michel Platini, Pavel Nedved, Lilian Thuram, David Trezeguet, Edgar Davids, Didier Deschamps and Michael Laudrup.

A World Cup legacy

Though Italy won’t be going to the World Cup this summer, the Azzurri remain one of the globe’s most successful teams in the tournament, and Juventus have played a large part in that success – they’ve provided more players to the Italian national team than any club in Italy, including the cores of three World Cup-winning squads.

And while Juve’s Italian contingent will be watching from afar in 2018, they will have the chance to see over 10 of their teammates take the field in Russia, some of whom stand a good chance of taking home the trophy for the likes of Argentina (Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain), Brazil (Douglas Costa and Alex Sandro), France (Blaise Matuidi) or Germany (Sami Khedira and Benedikt Höwedes).

Where’d they get the black and white?

Juve’s black-and-white, vertical-striped jerseys are instantly recognizable to soccer fans across the globe. And while they share the style with England’s Newcastle United, the current design was actually inspired by a different English club. In 1903, when the club made the switch from pink jerseys (which reportedly faded too easily), an English player on the team reached out to a friend back home too see if he had any more durable shirts; the friend, a fan of Notts County, sent back the black-and-white striped shirts of his favorite club, and the color scheme has stuck for over a century.

A mascot to match

Zebras aren’t exactly native to Italy, but there’s no questioning where Juventus got one of their nicknames: the Zebras. Inspired by their iconic jerseys, Juve now have a zebra mascot of their own, named J, since 2015. He was with the team last time they came stateside, and you can check out some of his adventures here:

South American stars

Like many MLS teams today, Juventus have a rich history of finding talent in the South American market, largely fueled by the large Italian diaspora in countries in Argentina and Brazil.

A number of the club’s biggest stars dating back to the late 1920s, including Luis Monti, Omar Sivori, and more recently Mauro Camoranesi, are all South American-born members of the diaspora who headed back across the Atlantic to play for Juve. They would go on to find great success both for club and the country of their ancestry.

Four Soccer Tessellations

The FC Schalke 04 boys finally made me proud. They didn’t show any intimidation at playing the Bayern team. I am celebrating their performance with a tessellation of Schalke players. The ever polite Benedikt Höwedes, the powerhouse Sead Kolasinac, Gerald Asamoah a past icon of the club, and the referee, disciplining the ever-diving Robben, that’s the one dramatically grabbing himself in fake…
