Germany 4-2 Portugal, UEFA Euro 2020: Gosens Inspires Resurgent Germany Victory Over Portugal
Germany revived their Euro 2020 hopes in spectacular fashion, coming back after conceding an early goal against Portugal to win the competition’s most thrilling match so far by four goals to two. Portugal was penned in their own half, but initially, that did not seem to faze them. Indeed, it almost suited them and they took the lead against the run of play thanks to a superb counterattack ending with Diogo Jota squaring for Cristiano Ronaldo to score his third goal of the tournament. Robin Gosens has neither been gilded by Germany’s successes under Löw nor scarred by many of the failures; this was only the Atalanta player’s ninth cap and Portugal simply could not handle him.

With having two nation’s passports he is qualified to play for both national teams. As of 2020, Robin celebrated his 26th birthday. Cancer is his Zodiac sign and his religion is Christian. About his parents, he was born to his father, Holger, and his mother, Martina. His father used to play at Fortuna Elten which was the first club that Robin started at and his mother was a good athlete. “I was a relatively late bloomer. Until I was six years old, I had absolutely nothing to do with football. That is atypical. As a child, I was always outside a lot, but at first, I didn’t want to do anything with the ball. My dad was a soccer coach. He gave me balls and put them at my feet because he wanted me to start playing. The older I got, the stronger my love for football grew. When my dad brought me to the first training session in the F-youth at Fortuna Elten, it clicked immediately. This is where the love for football arose that never went away. And it won’t anymore.”
When he was playing his international debut against Spain, he was in school and he immediately thought of homework he had for his degree. “I’m a very emotional gamer who is constantly reflecting on myself and trying to do better. Accordingly, I sometimes get very rigid, am overambitious, or get too involved in things. Studying is important for me to get my head off football. It is generally not good just to think about work. The course grounds me and shows me that there are other problems as well. That’s good for me and my head. My plan is to do a master’s in sport psychology after my bachelor’s degree.”
