Uber Football

| Lambertz in 2004 vs. GFC Düren |
In football, however, it's always a bit tricky when it comes to individual statistics. To this day, no one could give me a convincing explanation of how a "Zweikampf" (mixture of tackle and 50-50) is exacty defined. Where do short passes stop, where do long passes begin?
Ever since the emergence of companies like Opta or Impire, statistics evaluation has been transformed into an absurd record hunting business.
NEW RECORD: four headed goals in seven games with unwashed ears. You name it.
Despite that, no football player has ever gained promotion with the very same club from level 4 of the league system to the Bundesliga, having played in each of these divisions.
Well, at least until matchday three of the current season. Hats off to Fortuna Düsseldorf's skipper Andreas "Lumpi" Lambertz!
An achievement not to be expected from a narrow-chested midfielder cutting his way through the lowlands of Oberliga Nordrhein in 2004.
