At any rate, I’m salivating over the idea of seeing him prowl the left flank. His delicious, thunderous left—a stürmischschlag, if I may use an online translator—is something we’ve missed despite how well we’ve done to this point. Simply put, he’s one of the few players who can take a shot from 25 yards and send a frozen rope at a terrified keeper. The thought of him getting service from fellow German national Mesut Özil has me drooling even more. We’ve scored some nifty, tiki-taka goals in recent weeks, but I would love to see a sexy, screaming shot tear through the back of the net. As far as I can find, however, the two have not yet linked up for club or country. I reckon that’ll change sooner rather than later, and I’m positively giddy with delight and don’t care how silly I sound when I say so.
