soccer - Hertha Schuler: 'The other half should be out with poisoning'
At Hertha BSC, Luca Schuler is still finding his role as the new midfielder. In the question of who from the second league team would survive best in the wild, he sees himself in the lead. "I have undergone training and since I'm a bit interested in survival, I've watched many documentaries about it. I believe I know what to do," said the 25-year-old in a video released by the club at the beginning of the week.
"Half of them would probably already be eliminated due to a lead poisoning, because they can't handle themselves technically," Schuler continued in a media round during the training camp in Austrian Walchsee. While most of his teammates had voted for athletic trainer Henrik Kuchno in the challenge, small jokes from the boys didn't take long to surface. "I've already gotten a few comments from the guys," Schuler laughed.
"A piece further grounded"
Meanwhile, his craftsmanship has taken a back seat. "I'm happy that I don't have to do anything for my parents or family and can enjoy the time with them in a different way," said the native Rhineland-Palatinate, who reported that he had done some work on his new apartment in Berlin himself. "We hired a little help, otherwise it would have been immense."
From his apprenticeship, he was able to take away more than just carpentry. "That has made me a piece further grounded. It's a privilege to play football," Schuler said. "I know how that is, standing at the construction site at six in the morning. This is not work here, but fun."
