Player Appreciation Post: Anatoliy Tymoshchuk


As a blog team, we've decided to begin doing posts whereby we express our love and dedication and undying devotion to our favorite Bayern players. And there was immediate consensus that none other than Tymo should be the first subject of our adoration. One quick note on format: You'll see our Blogger handle next to the pieces we've written, as this is a collaborative effort. And thus, we now present our first lovefest...

Bex: Where do I even start with Tymo? He's a defensive midfielder that can play centre back more convincingly than some centre backs can. He's a leader on and off the pitch, his tackling makes Mark Van Bommel smile, and he's pretty much a ninja (because you never see him coming). Add to that the fact that he's scored several of the last goals for Ukraine (and serves as team captain) and he's pretty much the epitome of awesome. Plus, his interactions with his fans make it clear that he's a nice guy who loves what he does and appreciates his fans. He fought to stay in Munich under he-who-shall-not-be-named and we're sure glad he did!

Charyse: I have a confession to make: I can't remember the last time I've actually seen a Bayern match, actually sat down and watched it what with school, moving and exams, so it has seemed a bit disingenuous for me to contribute to this blog regularly. Now that it is a perfectly fine weekend for me to enjoy the boys in red, they've all gone off to International Duty (which is fine and all but honestly I'd rather have them all back in one piece).

Anyway that confession aside, it is time to extol the virtues of Tymo. What more can one ask of a player? Dedicated, hard working and a clean tackler (CLEAN TACKLES!), I'm glad he's at Bayern AND he is glad to be there too, spending the most time with fans and all. A+, good sir. A+
