Leon Goretzka, a Bayern Munich midfielder, faced significant career challenges as the club's interest waned and he was overlooked for EURO 2024. Despite being sidelined behind other players, he remained silent about his struggles, which was appreciated by the club. In an interview, Goretzka explained that he deliberately avoided speaking out, believing it would not benefit him amidst misinterpretations. Instead, he focused on his game, ultimately proving his dedication and resilience through his performance on the field.
It was a conscious decision. I felt that in my situation I had nothing to gain from statements or interviews. I also felt that what I said was often misconstrued and therefore not properly received.
I decided that I wanted to focus on football and ignore everything else. I wanted to provide the answers on the pitch, even though it's a cliché.
