Bochum's Losilla celebrates incredible 100th Bundesliga game!
The game between VfL Bochum and VfL Wolfsburg was anything but good for the Bochum team. Nevertheless, there was a ray of hope: Anthony Losilla reached an impressive anniversary in his career as a professional footballer.
Anthony Losilla, a 38-year-old midfielder, proved wrong the critics who doubted his place in the team at the start of the season. Despite his advanced career, the Frenchman remains a key figure in the Bochum team. He uses his wide range of experience and his cautious style of play to be active even in crucial moments.
Records for the Bochum oldie
The home defeat against Wolfsburg brought a lot of frustration for the team, but for Losilla it was a date to celebrate. The player, who began his journey from France to Germany in 2012, has developed into a central part of the team over the years. His initial station was Dynamo Dresden before he moved to Bochum in 2014, where he quickly became a captain and a legend.
When Losilla played his first Bundesliga game on August 14, 2021, it seemed like an unattainable dream. Since the beginning of this season, Losilla has held the title of oldest player in the Bundesliga and celebrated his 100th game in the top division last Saturday. Only the former GDR national goalkeeper Perry Braut was older than Losilla when he made his 100th appearance.
However, the number 100 is not the end for Losilla. He remains an indispensable part of the team, especially at the current stage of the season. While he isn't a loud leader himself, he pushes his teammates forward through his passionate commitment and leadership skills. The younger players benefit enormously from his presence on the field. Even if Losilla turns 39 in March, it can be expected that he will give everything to avoid being relegated and to successfully complete the 2024/2025 season.
Losilla's achievements and dedication are not only remarkable, but also inspiring for the entire team. When asked about his fitness and playing style, one coach said: "He's not fast, but he knows how to make the game quick." This means that Losilla has been able to consolidate its place in the central midfield, even in a highly competitive environment.
