A really unpleasant and unappealing person who, in his career, always noticed insults, physical attacks and stupid or primitive sayings. The attack on Ballack during a game or how he has repeatedly attacked the family of opponents in Japan and said things like “I buy your wife/I buy your family” etc. A lot of it can be found on YouTube.
Correct. Even in test games, he tended to get into a significantly overriding man and was not even appropriately punished for it in Poland because he apparently enjoys a kind of “world champion”-or at least Lukas-Podolski bonus. If you criticize an Antonio Rüdiger for primitive-asocial behavior on the pitch, you shouldn’t look away from Podolski, only that he can apparently smile away his attacks more easily.
I can only sign.
Unfortunately, there were also many other negative incidents involved in the Podolski that you lose track. I think a lot of it can still be found in the Google archives, as he, for example, pursued a referee after a benefit hall tournament and pressed in the parking lot. Even with almost 40, he cannot master his aggression and always has dropouts towards opponents and arbitrators that he puts down to the worst.
I can remember a game from him at Kobe, where he made his opponent so much that he was crying. That hurts you even when you watch.
In addition there are countless criminal proceedings for insults, fines, etc.
Every other football player would have been outlawed, but not Prince Poldi, because he is funny and a “man from the people” ……

I understand that, as a Cologne man, of course, you defend one of your former players and of course you have a different point of view with club glasses what is completely legitimate, but a minimum level of decency and respect should already be available even if football is not known as a gentleman sport.
We had so many players in the Bundesliga or national players who were difficult, but what a Lukas Podolski is still doing is second to none. It is still a mystery to me how he could survive the baking pipe against the captain of his own national team. This has never existed in this country before. A behavior that is still like a thread in his vita.
Everything else about him has already been said and should not be repeated now.
