Tim Kleindienst: Gladbach's Malocher dreams of DFB debut!

The football world looks forward to Tim Kleindienst, the 29-year-old striker of Borussia Mönchengladbach. The association recently published a graphic that shows him in the club jersey in front of a mirror in which it looks at himself in the DFB dress. The picture symbolizes the highlight of his career: his first nomination for the German national team. "For me, a dream comes true," said small service pleased about this important step.

In the upcoming Bundesliga game against FC Augsburg, the player will be particularly in the spotlight before leaving for the Nations League matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Netherlands next week. Small service will travel to Herzogenaurach as a replacement for the injured Niclas Füllkrug in the DFB district. Almost three years after his failed attempt abroad, who led him to Kaa Gent in Belgium, he now gives his hope for success in the German national team.

The paintocher in the storm

Tim small service is not perceived as a typical goal scorer. Rather, he is a so -called "Malocher", which means that he is not only focused on scoring, but also on the defensive and when replacing it. National coach Julian Nagelsmann emphasizes that these properties are in demand in the current national team. Small service stands for a complete player profile: he brings the physical requirements, is 1.94 meters tall and always helps in the game. His defensive reliability lifts him off from other strikers.

characterized by a special style of play "Laffreudig, intensive, hopefully also in the end", small service has completed numerous sprints in his previous career and won most duels in the Bundesliga. On the square he shows himself as a team player who creates rooms for his teammates, which can be crucial for success in a team. During his time at the 1st FC Heidenheim, where he scored 25 goals in the second division season 2022/23, he not only became known as a goal scorer, but also developed into a promotion hero by scoring the decisive goal for the Bundesliga.

Small service brings a unique combination of goal scorer qualities and hard work. He has already demonstrated that he can shine on the offensive in different roles. In Gladbach it is primarily used to tear gaps to give his teammates like Kevin Stöger or Alassane Plea opportunities. Trainer Gerardo Seoane particularly emphasizes the emotional type of player, which makes him a valuable part of the team.

The return to Germany was a turning point in small service career. After his early farewell from Heidenheim and the failed attempt to gain a foothold in Belgium, he found a new challenge and trust in Gladbach to show his skills. With two goals achieved and a template in his previous season, he is determined to achieve even more.

Of course, the nomination for the national team is a milestone, but small service focuses on its achievements and on making the best of its chance. It remains exciting to see how the Gladbach striker presents himself in the upcoming games and whether he can establish himself as a serious part of the national team.
