no, exactly Blaz Kramer has you in head. So quickly the laurels unsheathed, with which the FC Zürich his new players before the start of the season has showered. “He is a faster, more athletic and torgefährlicher attacker, the header of the ball, thanks to its Size is also very strong.” This advertising has been head of sports, Thomas Bickel after the signing of the contract as the official Statement on the Website of the FCZ write.
Kramer is sitting in the hall of the sports hall, as he gets the sentence read aloud. The dresses of the Slovenes form a delightful contrast to the device of the described kind with the word “functional”. They come from the classic Fundus of the globalized Professional footballer: a sweater with a silver brand name pants in a patchwork-Look, to shoes of a brand, the gold steak-lovers of Franck Ribéry on Instagram leads for a walk.
And somehow fits the Outfit, Yes to Kramer’s previous path, which is marked by this business, in the young men of their Dreams, driven to a kind in the world traded an object of speculation. Also Kramer came with his 23 years already. He grew up in a Slovenian village with his mother. When he goes to the business school, he prefers to see his father in Celje, with 40 000 inhabitants is the third largest city in Slovenia.
The Matura he wants to catch up
The Matura he wants to make up for today, of course, “because you never know what happens in soccer “. But because he shoots as a Teenager, gate to gate, the path is still clear: as quickly as possible to get out of Slovenia, this small country, in which most of the Clubs do not have enough money to be able to good young centres.

This at least is the Plan of his adviser. So Kramer goes on a journey. Eindhoven, Prague, Wolfsburg and so on across Europe. Everywhere he plays anywhere he is told that he is still something missing. So he turns a season-long lap of honour in the highest League in his home before he comes out from Slovenia.
games in the fourth League
He ends up with 20 in Wolfsburg, the Autostadt, in which the consultant resides and two Restaurants operates. Kramer has been training with the first Team, playing with the offspring in the fourth division. And spends his days mostly in the Local the advice of his Advisor, where the employees are his friends.
Even if it would be enough for him to not play in the Bundesliga, is Kramer close to the professionals who can take comfort in Wolfsburg with good wages on the straightforward attractiveness of the place of residence. Is it any wonder that the clothing is painted with a style of his role-models to him?
Where Kramer goes on the attitude that is worn by the Stars of the industry-usually this type of fashion. Anyway, he put most of the coach, he says. And as if he should say something to Bickel’s praise, he smiles, almost shy. Fast, score goals, head the ball strongly– more a striker can’t be actually, or? “If I had everything,” says Kramer, “well, then, I would probably be at Bayern, is it?”
The talks with Munich
the 23-Year-old but. But in the FCZ. That Club has scored the second fewest goals in the Super League. Where – the with the of Bavaria, says the Kramer of about. He actually spoke in the summer, with the German Champions. He has to play Bayern at the latest in the climb to 3. League be noticed, in which Bayern II against Wolfsburg II by.

For what Team he would be in Munich have been provided? “That is no longer relevant.” But it needs to be a similar role have been offered, as he has filled it in already at VfL Wolfsburg for two years: training with the first team, operations but mainly with the second Team. And he had had enough. “If you’re a Back-up of Lewandowski, you will not get many missions,” he says.
So Kramer ended up at the FCZ and walking in leisure time with wife and dog on the shore of his new place of residence Freienbach. Not that there would have been no other offers. But as Admir was Mehmedi, the Kramer in Wolfsburg has come to know. The former FCZ-Junior a facilitator took on the role between his former Club and Kramer.
Mehmedi gushed from the FCZ
On the one hand, Mehmedi head of sports, Bickel put the striker to the heart. And on the other, he described the FCZ in the most beautiful colors. “I’ve been talking a lot with him,” says Kramer, “he said to me, this is a super club where I can develop myself as a super.”
Only that at the beginning of the season somehow, nothing super has developed in Zurich. The Team stumbled through the season. Kramer remained eleven League rounds without scoring. Not easy for a striker. Now the German school, which he has noticed in Wolfsburg helped him: “mentality, professional attitude, hard work in Training.”
redemption
And then this game against FC Basel, in the him finally the first match succeeded. A gate to this 3:2 victory, of the all of the FCZ in the hope that he brings to the Team is finally on the right course. At least for Kramer to agree with the seems; he’s meeting a week later, also against Thun 1:0 victory.

When this goal will be realize for the first time, what qualities looks Bickel in him. Kramer is damn fast for his 1.91 m. 34 kilometers per hour had been measured for him in a FCZ-game, he says. So he would be the same as Cristiano Ronaldo. The bears, by the way, this is one of the exclusive Sneaker.
