Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Currently in Germany to participate in the Euro, Jonathan Clauss is not discovering the country. Between 2018 and 2020, the French right-back defended the colors of Arminia Bielefeld, which played in Bundesliga 2. At the origin of his arrival, Samir Arabi returned to the passage of the French international within the German formation.
Jonathan Clauss has come a long way. A few years ago, the right-back was sailing in the amateur world, far from the‘French team and the training center of Strasbourg, where he was trained. “ He was unemployed, there were a few touches from Ligue 2 clubs. He has to go on a trial abroad… » said one of his relatives in comments reported by RMC Sport. Eventually, Quevilly-Rouen had offered him a return to professionalism. What followed was a two-year stint in Germany, at theArminia Bielefeld.
“I saw he had something special”
Former sporting director of the German team, Samir Arabi returned to the passage of Clauss. « I watched Ligue 2 a lot because there are a lot of interesting players, repeats the manager. I had seen him several times and the first time I saw that he had something special. His technique but also his vision of the game. He felt the positions on the field very well (…) He was already better offensively than defensively (…) “He adapted easily, he’s a good guy. He was completely accepted by the group. He was very important for the team, he joked in the locker room. He was funny, he created a good atmosphere. ” he confided.
Clauss revealed himself in Germany
The change is brutal for Clausswho discovered another world. I remember when he arrived in the Hamburg stadium, he was filming everything because playing in such a stadium on a Monday night was special. There he finds himself directly in Germany in Bundesliga 2 with stadiums of 50 or 60,000 seats filled. He goes from playing a QRM-Sochaux to Bielefeld-Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz Arena ” said the entourage of Clauss at RMC Sport. The rest, we know it. After a passage to RC Lensthe player decided to sign with OM.
