He is one of the boys with the greatest potential in international football,вЂќ he assured. вЂњI have been a sports director for 17 years and perhaps the operation for Schick is the one I am most proud of. Monchi, recently landed in the sports management, endorsed his signing, which would become the most expensive in the clubвЂ™s history: 42 million. вЂњThereвЂ™s nothing, heвЂ™s healthy,вЂќ his agent cried out then.

And it is that Monchi He was not wrong, even if he has a thorn in his side with this striker. The 26.5 million that the Germans paid to Roma have been transformed into a market value close to 40.

He had caught up with one of his idols and, just a month later, he became the replacement for Havertz in the front of Bayer Leverkusen. With five goals equal to Cristiano in the table of top scorers in the tournament. that day, Patrick Shick began to draw the successful path of Czech Republic in the European Championship, until the semifinals, and his own. It was his second goal that afternoon and he made history only because he had watched Marshall, the Scottish keeper, play too far forward.
