Relying on Rolin’s two goals and one assist, RB Leipzig completely defeated Darmstadt 3:0 away from home.
At the player tunnel entrance, a reporter from Sky Sport Germany had been waiting for a long time.
In this match, Rolin was undoubtedly the best performing player on the pitch.
“Rolin, congratulations on taking the away victory.
Contributing two goals and one assist in your first Bundesliga start, how does it feel?” the reporter asked in a brisk tone.
Rolin said in a steady tone: “I’m still very happy to be able to help the team achieve victory.
Thanks to the coach for the trust, and thanks to the teammates for the support!” The reporter nodded and continued to ask: “Mr.
Lothar Matthäus praised you heavily during the broadcast.
How do you evaluate your performance today?” “I am very honored to receive praise from Mr.
Lothar Matthäus.
I will continue to work hard and strive for better performances.” Rolin’s attitude was modest: “Actually, I still have many shortcomings.
I just did what I should do, and the victory was fought for together by everyone.” The short and crisp post-match flash interview ended, and Rolin followed the main team into the player tunnel.
On the German streaming platform Twitch, streamer KevinKickz was still live, reacting to the match highlights.
“Boys, two goals and one assist!
With this performance, he’s properly the Man of the Match, or even the Best of the Round!” Kevin said excitedly.
His chat was flooded with messages: “Two goals and an assist on his first Bundesliga start?
Absolutely insane!” “Just two words: Awesome!” “Followed, looking forward to Rolin’s next match.
See you next time, chat!” Kevin glanced at the time and said with a smile: “Alright lads, it’s getting late.
Let’s wrap it up for today.
If you haven’t followed yet, hit that follow button.
Kevin will continue to live stream RB Leipzig’s matches and keep watching Rolin’s performances.
See you in the next match!” — The next afternoon, Rolin walked out of his room after waking up.
“Huh?
Sis, when did you get back?” Rolin asked with a yawn.
Luna put down the laptop in her hand and looked him up and down: “Not bad, little bro, you’ve even started in the lineup and become a big star!” “Oh my, what big star?
My dear sister, I will always be your cute little brother!” Rolin took a juice out of the refrigerator and took a sip: “Sis, don’t you guys have class today?” Luna rolled her eyes heavily and raised her laptop: “Come on, open your eyes and see, what day of the week is it today?” Rolin slapped his forehead in annoyance, forgetting that today was Sunday and she had no classes today…
“I’m so hungry, my beautiful sister.
How about you help me cook a bowl of noodles?” Rolin changed the subject without changing his expression.
Luna stretched out her slender and fair little hand and made a gesture of counting money.
In the end, Rolin exchanged 500 euros for a bowl of tomato and egg noodles.
Yeah, not expensive at all!
In the evening, his mother specially made braised ribs that the siblings loved to eat.
Rolin failed to resist the temptation, talking about sin while gnawing on the ribs.
However, he was still quite self-disciplined and only ate a few pieces.
Lucas gnawed on the ribs while drinking a little wine, feeling so wonderful inside.
Looking at his pretty wife, and then looking at his pair of excellent children, he felt that he was properly a winner in life!
Just as the family was spending a happy time together, Rolin once again made the front page of major sports websites.

Kicker: Lothar Matthäus: I am a fan of Rolin Bachmann!

— Early the next morning, before the sky was fully bright, Rolin drove to the training base.
He didn’t want to show off or let others see how active and hardworking he was.
He just didn’t want to waste the precious time of his youth.
After he retires, it would be fine even if he sleeps until noon every day.
Rolin changed into his football shoes in the locker room and pushed a cart of footballs toward the training pitch.
After fully warming up his body, Rolin began his own training.
First, he did basic training in-place such as alternating foot stepping on the ball, horizontal ball dragging, and sole ball pulling and changing direction, polishing his ball-combination ability and ball-control delicacy.
Rolin admired a more concise and efficient style of play, but no matter what kind of style of play it was, it required solid fundamental skills.
Afterwards, Rolin began doing moving dribbling training.
Constant-speed linear dribbling training: touch the ball lightly with the inside of the foot, keep the distance of each touch moderate, and ensure that the ball is always in front of the side of the body.
When dribbling, try not to lower your head to look at the ball, developing the habit of observing the pitch.
Acceleration and speed-change dribbling training is mainly to practice rhythm changes, simulating suddenly starting while dribbling to shake off defenders.
Center of gravity switching training during dribbling, simulating quickly lowering the center of gravity to protect the ball when facing pressing, and changing the center of gravity to shake off defenders.
On the third floor of the training base, in the Sporting Director’s office.
Ralf Rangnick looked at the teenager on the training pitch through the window, a gratified smile on his face.
This world never lacks geniuses, let alone people willing to put in effort.
If a person is both a genius and willing to put in effort, then he is destined to have an unlimited future.
Rolin is undoubtedly such a person, and Ralf Rangnick firmly believes that he can grow into a football superstar!
— Time flashed to November 5th, and the 10th round of the Bundesliga was about to start.
In this round of the League, RB Leipzig will welcome Hertha BSC at home.
Rolin is also expected to complete his home debut tomorrow.
On the pitch, players who had just finished training gathered in groups of threes and fours.
“Timo, if you spin in place 10 times and can still kick the ball in, I’ll treat you to a big feast!” Rolin pointed at the goal and said.
Werner didn’t agree immediately; he always felt there was something fishy in it.
Through contact over this period of time, he knew Rolin too well.
This kid looks harmless, but actually has a belly full of malice, and this time he definitely has bad intentions.
Before he could open his mouth to refuse, Selke on the side suddenly said: “I heard your mother’s ribs are delicious, the whole youth training base knows it.
Why not change the big feast to ribs!” When Werner heard this, he got excited; he was an absolute foodie.
“Then it’s settled.
Davie, you be the witness.
If he reneges on his debt, the two of us will deal with him!” Selke nodded honestly, signaling Werner to start the challenge.
Werner picked up a football, placed it on the penalty spot, stepped back about three meters, and began to spin.
Rolin held back his smile and counted for him.
When Rolin counted to 10, Werner ran crookedly toward the football, then missed the kick with a swing and fell to the ground.
Rolin and Selke held their stomachs and collapsed on the ground laughing.
Until Ralph Hasenhüttl blew the whistle, the three of them climbed up from the ground.
Werner was because of dizziness, and Rolin and Selke were because their stomachs hurt from laughing.
Ralph Hasenhüttl announced the roster for tomorrow against Hertha BSC.
Hearing his name, Rolin breathed a sigh of relief.
Werner, Selke, and Naby Keïta were all listed among them.
After washing up, Rolin knocked on the head coach’s office door.
“Coach, I want to play in tomorrow’s match, whether starting or coming off the bench is fine.” Rolin got straight to the point.
Ralph Hasenhüttl looked at Rolin confusedly: “Give me a reason.” Rolin looked him in the eye: “I want to prove that I belong on this pitch.
I want to show the fans what I can do.
And I want to help this team win.” Ralph Hasenhüttl studied him for a moment, then smiled and patted his shoulder.
“Alright, you’ve earned the chance.
Be ready.” Rolin nodded, greeted the coach, and drove home.
