Julian Draxler

The young and promising midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain and the German national team was forced to win the fans' favor, despite the brilliant results on the field. The footballer became the hero of scandals related to his career and personal life. However, the player's merits on the pitch cannot be ignored.

The star midfielder of the German national football team was born in Gladbeck, Germany on September 20, 1993. The father of the future midfielder in the past has distinguished himself on the field. In 1977, together with the youth team of Schalke, Draxler Sr. became the champion of the country.

It was the father who instilled in his son a love of sports. Once a man took little Julian to the Schalke game. After a significant match, the boy literally dreamed of football.

Julian's elder brother also devoted his life to sports, but the younger did not achieve success. The young man plays for the district league club. It is not surprising that little Julian has been passionate about family sports since early childhood. According to the memoirs of the football player and relatives, he probably did not sleep with a ball instead of a pillow.

It is known that the young man studied at the Heisenberg gymnasium in his hometown, and later, with the development of his football career, moved to Gezamtshul Berger Feld. According to Draxler, it turned out to be incredibly difficult to combine study and training. The high school student had to choose between the field and the textbooks.

Julian's choice was often on the side of the school, especially during the preparation for the final exams. School and education remained extremely important, Draxler said.

From early childhood, Julian Draxler's biography is associated with football. The boy entered the field at the age of five, having begun training in his hometown at Rentfort. Often, the kid was not limited to playing on the field and asked his father to play the ball at home. Soon the young athlete took the next step on the path to great football, moving to Buer 07/28.

The boy has established himself as a fast, active player, giving results on the field. Soon agents of youth teams became interested in the promising footballer. Less than a year later, at the age of seven, Julian was among the athletes of Schalke.

Already on January 15, 2011, the young midfielder made his debut in the Bundesliga match. A week later, the midfielder comes out in the starting lineup of the team at a meeting with Hannover. And in April, the midfielder scores the first goal in the Bundesliga, sending the ball into the goal of St. Pauli.

Then, in January 2011, Draxler started in the German Cup, replacing Per Kruge shortly before the end of the match. In the last minutes of extra time, the player scored the winning goal against the opponent.

The midfielder's debut in the Champions League, which took place in February 2011, was not long in coming. Goals and assists helped the club take the German Super Cup. After a successful game for the honor of the team, the young man extended his contract with his now native Schalke until 2016, and in 2013 until 2018. At the same time, the midfielder receives an honorary number 10 on his jersey.

However, in 2015, the talented footballer leaves the Schalke squad and moves to Wolfsburg. True, the midfielder is not destined to settle down and play in the wolves team. Juventus and Arsenal became interested in young talent, wanting to get a football player into their ranks.

The management of the German club refused the transfer, arguing the decision by the fact that they did not want to part with the productive player, since shortly before that they sold the pivotal player Andre Schürrle.

For the midfielder, the transition to a world-famous European club, of course, meant another leap forward in his career and a new stage of development. In the end, the pressure reached heat, and in one of the interviews Draxler spoke openly about the desire to leave the "wolves" and the refusal of the management in the transfer. Wolfsburg's management reacted with a fine.

Having paid the due € 100 thousand, Julian still left the provincial German club and moved to Paris Saint-Germain. At the same time, according to the publishing house Le Parisien, the footballer's salary was € 850 thousand per month.

Draxler's act caused immediate negative reaction and open outrage from fans. The fans felt that the midfielder was only interested in money and he was ready to change clubs like gloves, chasing good deals.

Meanwhile, Draxler, despite angry comments on social media, continues to play brilliantly on the field. In the first match for the Parisian club, Julian scored a goal against the opponent. The PSG coach notes the player's balanced play, speed, ball control and passing accuracy. As part of the club, the young man won the French League Cup in the 2016-2017 season, and the following year, together with the team, he received the French Cup.

In addition to his club career, the midfielder distinguished himself on the world stage as part of the German national team. Tall (the height of a football player is 185 cm with a weight of 74 kg), the impetuous young footballer joined the youth team at the age of 17. In the first match, Draxler gave an assist and scored a goal.

For the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the midfielder has been announced for the extended squad. In a friendly match with the Polish national team, the young footballer came out with the captain's armband, becoming the youngest player in the national team to receive such an honor. As a result, he entered the final squad of the national team, made his debut in the match against Brazil, which ended for the opposing team with a crushing score of 1: 7.

Speaking about the 2017 Confederations Cup, which was won by the German national team, it is worth noting that Julian became the captain, entering the starting lineup of the Germans.

For a long time, Julian has been in a relationship with Lena Terlau. Young people studied together at the gymnasium and even sat at the same desk. True, mutual love broke out much later. The girl supports her lover and tries to attend matches in which Julian takes part.

The young man initially earned a reputation as a family man and a monogamous person who preferred reading books and home leisure to clubs and restaurants. Suddenly, in 2017, a scandal erupted related to Draxler's personal life.

The newspaper Bild has unearthed the "fried" facts. On the eve of the Confederations Cup, the young midfielder asked the national team coach to let him go to Barcelona for a couple of days. The footballer motivated the trip by the need for recovery.

However, the result of the rest were pictures of a midfielder on a yacht in the arms of a sultry blonde, a model from Munich and a participant in the show "Germany's next top-model". The public received new food for indignation, demanding from the coach to punish the unfaithful Julian. However, the coach of the national team objected that the main thing for him is the result on the field, and the personal life of the players does not concern anyone.

It is not known exactly how Lena survived the scandal, apparently, the girl forgave the unlucky guy. The footballer himself tries not to dwell on the details of the incident, and in general leaves the relationship behind the scenes. Even on the Instagram page, Julian tries not to publish a photo with the beautiful Lena.

After the victory of PSG in the French Cup in 2017-2018, the game of the national team at the 2018 World Cup in Russia came to the fore for the midfielder. As part of the national team, Draxler appeared in his debut match against the Mexican national team, which became sensational.

The 2014 world champions were defeated by the Mexicans. Despite the intense brilliant play, fortune turned away from the Germans, who could not score a single goal into the opponent's goal.

By the way, Julian always spoke positively about Russia. The footballer was still delighted with the organization of sports events and the warm welcome of fans after winning the Confederations Cup in 2017.
