Like millions of other loyal Mannschaft fans, I know he is very sad, very angry with himself, and very regretful.
There’s no way to be sad when you can’t meet the expectations of the coaching staff, the coach, your teammates and millions of other fans.
As a professional player, always playing under a lot of pressure, he understands better than anyone the cruel rule in football from the past: if you win, you will be applauded to the heavens, if you lose, you will have to suffer the curse of the people.
You’re probably regretting it now.
It’s a `bitter cup` that’s not easy to swallow, right Schweini?
But Schweini!
With 20 years of closely following Mannschaft’s every step, I witnessed with my own eyes the day he took his first steps in that familiar white shirt, witnessed him gradually mature, becoming the leader of Mannschaft.
Fans will never forget Bastian Schweinsteiger, whose face was bleeding profusely, still fighting tenaciously to help bring home the prestigious gold cup for his country in Brazil in 2014. They will also never forget him.
I wish that if only he could win a gold cup to give to his soon-to-be wife Ivanovic, that would definitely be the most meaningful gift.
At 31 years old, I know that his time at the top will not be long.
Hopefully, after the defeat at this Euro, he will soon stand up and continue to stand side by side with Mannschaft to reap more glory.
I still remember clearly, after losing to Italy in the semi-finals of Euro 2012, you guys stood up strong and won the World Gold Cup in Brazil two years later.
