Bavaria’s goalkeeper Sven Ulreich lost his son after a serious illness. 1860 striker Florian Niederlechner knows the goalkeeper-and dedicated his goal to him.
In his first third division game for 1860 Munich since his return, striker Florian Niederlechner scored a goal and contributed to the 1-1 against RW Essen. Afterwards the former Freiburg player gave an emotional interview. The third division star dedicated the Ulreich family.
Niederlechner explained to Magentatv’s microphone: “Today I was particularly motivated. I am a lion through and through, but today I got the news, like everyone in Germany, with Sven Ulreich. Where we, the Niederlichner family, know the Ulreich family very, very well and played our children together.” Niederlechner is also a father. He and his wife have two sons.
In reference to Ulreich, the 34-year-old stated that I tried so much that I score a goal for the family today, so I crushed a few tears in the morning because it is an incredible stroke of fate and I’m totally sorry for the family. That’s very happy that I did a goal today and that’s Ulreich for the family because it is just a cool family and if you have such a stroke of fate, all of them. Family.”
The former Hertha player also said visibly emotionally: “I keep my fingers crossed that it will soon go back in a better direction.”
