Serge Gnabry is a talented German midfielder who plays for Bayern Munich and the German national team today. In the 2018/2019 season, Gnabry became the champion of the Bundesliga as part of his club. Among the most successful matches in the career of a football player, perhaps, is the match between Bayern and English Tottenham, which took place on October 1, 2019. In it, Gnabry was able to score as many as four goals against the English.
Early years and relocation to Britain
Serge Gnabry was born on July 14, 1995 in Germany, in the city of Stuttgart. It is known that his father's name is Jean-Hermann Gnabry. He came to Europe from a distant African country - Cote d'Ivoire. And the name of the mother of the future athlete (and, accordingly, the wife of Jean-Herman) is Birgit.
Serge has been involved in football since early childhood. Even when he was four years old, his parents sent him to the Weissach club, where he studied for some time the basics of the game. And in 2006, Gnabry ended up at the Stuttgart Children's Football School, the most famous local club. And it was here that its potential could be developed accordingly.
However, there is evidence that Serge Gnabry in childhood was also fond of athletics and even dreamed of becoming a sprinter. But at some point, he still preferred football.
Already at the age of fifteen, Serge fell "on the pencil" to the scouts who saw him as a remarkable talent. As a result, this led to the fact that in 2010 he became a graduate of the London Arsenal - this English club paid £ 100, 000 for a promising young man!
Professional club career
Season 2011/2012 Serge spent in the youth team of Arsenal. And for the "adult" team, he debuted only on September 26, 2012, in a meeting with Coventry City.
A month later, he happened to enter the field as part of the main team of Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League (it was a match between Arsenal and Schalke 04).
At the beginning of the 2013/2014 season, Gnabry began to regularly get into the base. This was due, in particular, to the fact that at that time several key players of Arsenal were injured, and they needed to be replaced by someone.
September 28, 2013, Serge scored the first goal in his biography in the English Premier League. And in general, at this time he showed a very worthy game, which did not go unnoticed: Serge was offered a long-term contract, which was successfully signed by him on October 28.
Gnabry played for Arsenal until 2016, after which he returned to Germany - the German Werder Bremen became his new club.
In June 2017, the footballer signed a profitable contract with Munich “Bavaria” for three years. However, a month later Serge was leased for a year at Hoffenheim.
Only in 2018, gaining experience Gnabry finally played in the “Bavaria” on an ongoing basis. On November 3, 2018, he scored his first goal for this club in the Bundesliga. This happened in a match with Freiburg. The goal of Gnabry actually turned out to be very important and brought the Bavarians a draw - 1: 1.
December 1, 2018 Bayern met with Bremen. And here, Gnabry managed to hammer as many as two goals into the gates of his former club. The final score of this meeting is 2: 1, of course, the Munich team won.
In the Bundesliga season 2018/2019, Gnabry played 30 matches for Bayern and scored 10 goals in them, which can be called a pretty good result. In addition, this season it was the Munich club (and, therefore, Gnabry, as one of its players) who became the champion, ahead of the nearest pursuer by two points - “Borussia” from Dortmund.
And on October 1, 2019, Gnabry celebrated with the so-called poker as part of Bayern (poker in football is 4 goals scored by one player in one match). This happened in the Champions League game, where the club rival from Munich was the English Tottenham Hotspur. By the way, the overall score of this meeting can be called devastating - 7: 2.
It is also worth adding that today Serge Gnabry is considered a really very valuable player. Its transfer value is, according to experts, 60 million euros.
Career Team
Serge Gnabry represented Germany at various youth and youth championships, was a member of national teams up to 16, to 17 and to 18 years.
At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he was one of the key players in the German national team throughout all six matches, including the final. Interestingly, Germany ultimately took second place in the tournament in Rio de Janeiro - so Serge Gnabry, along with other German players, became the silver Olympic medalist.
On November 11, 2016, the footballer made his debut for the German national team in the game of the qualifying tournament for the mundial of 2018 against the San Marino team. Moreover, here he managed to make a significant contribution to the victory of his national team - he became the author of three beautiful goals.
And on October 9, 2019, Gnabry set a kind of record - he was able to score his first ten goals in just eleven games as part of the national team (no other German football player achieved such a result so quickly).
