At the request of a friend, talk about Lamelo. This player is very interesting, and he feels like a "child of luck" in a fantasy novel. Many good things with a lot of luck were encountered by him, which directly changed his fate.

Carsten LaMelo was born 20/0/0 in West Berlin, Germany. From his birthplace, you can see that his luck is really good. If it's a little bit offset, it's a super difficult start.

LaMelo as a teenager is not the same as those who dream of becoming a football star. His dream is actually to be a policeman. In fact, he not only thought so, but also did it, and he was not only admitted to the police academy, but also successfully graduated. As for football or something, it can only be regarded as LaMelo's hobby. As a Berlin native, he just followed Hertha Berlin II to compete in the third division.

If there are no big accidents, then LaMelo's next development will undoubtedly be to become a police officer. However, even Hollywood screenwriters didn't dare to write about the accident, and all of a sudden, it happened:

In the 93-0 season, LaMelo followed his friends and played a jaw-dropping performance on the stage of the German Cup, overturning many professional teams and even Bundesliga teams, and went all the way to the final, creating the best results of the German Cup team and the second team of the German club. On the other hand, Hertha Berlin team was eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen in the quarterfinals as early as the quarterfinals.

Interestingly, Hertha Berlin II team's opponent in the German Cup final was none other than Bayer Leverkusen, who eliminated Hertha Berlin First team. Despite the huge difference in strength between the two sides, LaMelo followed his friends, which still made Leverkusen suffer a lot. Sharpshooter Kirstenfeld did his best to score the only goal of the game to help Bayer Leverkusen lift the trophy.

Seeing this, many friends may take it for granted that it must be because of LaMelo's phenomenal performance in this game, which made Leverkusen remember his name, which triggered the plot of him joining Leverkusen in the future.

Logically, there is really nothing wrong with that, but this is not the case. It's hard to say how LaMelo played in the German Cup final. Because the time is too long, it really can't be verified. The only thing that is certain is that LaMelo at that time did not arouse the interest of Leverkusen, because Leverkusen did not make any offer. LaMelo just took advantage of the team's arrival in the German Cup final to be promoted to the first team of Hertha Berlin.

However, the first team of Hertha Berlin at that time was still a bastard in the Bundesliga. At that time, the scouting system was far less developed than it is today. LaMelo's talent is not too high, and his style of play is not outstanding, and with such a club, the prospects are really not optimistic.

The turning point of fate occurred in 21 years. Carlmond, then manager of Leverkusen, went to Berlin to stay in a hotel. LaMelo's mother-in-law happened to work at the hotel. The old lady had a very cheerful personality, and she took a local Berlin newspaper praising LaMelo directly, approached Karlmond and recommended her 0-year-old son-in-law to him.

It has to be said that Carlmond is very conscientious and responsible for his work. Not only did he patiently listen to LaMelo's mother-in-law's recommendation, but he also went to the scene to watch LaMelo play and found that this young man was indeed suitable for Bayer Leverkusen. So in the winter window of the 96-0 season, LaMelo was recruited by Bayer Leverkusen and ushered in a new chapter in his life.

LaMelo is a player who is willing to do the dirty work and has the attributes of a versatile player, both at the back and at the centre-back. Although his talent is not too outstanding, let alone compared to Mateus and Summer, even Novotny and Warnes are better than him. But he still relied on his hard work and all-rounder attributes to gain a firm foothold in Leverkusen, but he was not very outstanding.

In all fairness, with LaMelo's talent, if he meets the German team in his heyday, let alone serving as the main team, it will be difficult to even enter the squad. However, LaMelo was extremely lucky, and it happened to coincide with the era of German football. After the 98 World Cup in France, the German team decided to change blood, and LaMelo got the opportunity to be selected for the national team.

However, even in the German team at this stage, LaMelo wants to be the main team, which is still very difficult, and even an almost impossible task. He can indeed play as a midfielder, but the strength of Harman and Jeremes is obviously above him. He can play as a centre-back, but he can't match Novotny and Warnes......

It is in this context that 2002-year-old LaMelo unexpectedly served as the main player in the German team in the main stage of the 0 World Cup. Even if he received a red card in the group stage, he was still able to start in the crucial final.

Why is this happening? It's mostly a matter of luck. No one could have imagined that the two main central defenders of the German team, Novotny and Vaughans, were both troubled by injuries before the start of the World Cup. The German coach at the time, Worrall, was really unavailable, so he corrected the 28-year-old Lamelo.

What does it mean to have a burst of luck? That's it. LaMelo seems to have brought his good fortune to the German team, and it is already more than enough to reach the final when the Germanic vehicle is not favored. As for LaMelo himself, it is with his resume as the main player during the World Cup that he has a strong presence in the German national team. At the very least, LaMello's presence in the German team is definitely stronger than that of his club teammate Novotny.

After a lucky World Cup trip, LaMelo went on to play for Bayer Leverkusen. However, Bayer Leverkusen lost the two key players of Ballack and Ze Roberto, coupled with the unfortunate injury of the old captain Novotny, and their competitiveness plummeted, and they once fought for relegation.

At the most severe moment of Leverkusen's relegation situation, LaMelo stepped up and reached an agreement with his club, even if the team was relegated, he would choose to stay, which touched the club. And after the agreement was reached, good luck favored LaMelo again, and Bayer Leverkusen managed to be relegated.

With his many years at Bayer Leverkusen and his loyalty in times of crisis, LaMelo has further enhanced his status at the club. During Novotny's absence due to injury, the captain's armband was often worn on LaMelo's arm. After Novotny officially left, LaMelo directly became the first captain of Bayer Leverkusen. He played for this team until 2008 years, before announcing his retirement.

Throughout LaMelo's career, he has clearly been blessed with good fortune. Whether he was recommended to Bayer Leverkusen by his mother-in-law at the age of 28, or unexpectedly became a German main player at the age of 0. These two key nodes have a great element of luck and directly changed his fate.
