Träumst du auch davon, beim vielleicht größten Klub der Welt zu spielen? Miglied einer neuen Class `92 zu werden? So wie Müller und Badstuber von van Gaal zu Weltstars katapultiert zu werden, obwohl du heute noch Kreisliga spielst? Du schließt die Problemzone Außenverteidiger bei Löw, gewinnst vielleicht die WM, wirst Hoffnungsträger bei United und bist Thema im "The Telegraph". Der folgende Artikel ist so wahr wie Heinz Rühmanns Feuerzangenbowle - erstunken und erlogen. Andi Cleimann gibt es nicht und "Westfalen Finsdorf" höchstens bei "Stromberg". Viel Spaß beim Träumen!!

Practiced to the limit - Cinderella story of a German winger

(Manchester) "No one wants to grow up to be a Gary Neville!" Of course, Jamie Carragher is right by regarding the amount of sold jerseys, but Neville is a huge legend, remembered to good old times. Today Ryan Giggs, the last member of the class of 92 left the pitch: It is a synonym for the creeping conclusion of an era. United down on knees, United groaning for new heroes, United need guys like Gary Neville.

But today challenge to outside defenders rose: Fabulous players like Dani Alves, Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra informed a new style of defending and attacking. The role to outside defenders develops more and more spectacularly. They are more than just backups or boring security guys without special strengths and weaknesses; usually they are the most intelligent beings on the pitch, polyvalent, still without weaknesses, but with a damn crowd of strengths! The demands could not be higher, so it is no accident, that Jogi Loew, head coach of the German "Nationalmannschaft" and Pep "the brain" Guardiola believe in Philipp Lahm as a player and even as a leader to win championships. The captain of Munich and Germany is also a good example for the necessary of variety in playing different positions on the pitch. Experts are sure, the fate of the World Cup success of Germany attaches to the cleverness of Lahm.

In contrast to the rest of the teams in Brazil 2014, the "three lions" have no problems with outside defenders. Probably there are only two countries in the world which do not: England and the host Brazil. It is really luxury that players like Felipe Luis and Rafinha or Ashley Cole and Kieran Gibbs stay at home watching TV. Surely they would be key players in every other team.

The most breathtaking outside defender must watch the world cup at home, too. The Welshman has developed into a winger and suddenly into a creative striker, last week Gareth Bale decided the final of the UEFA Champions League. The opportunities of modern outside defenders distinguish no limit, if quality is given.

So who wants to be the next Gary Neville? Who wants to be the heir of a legend? Who wants to be a new legend? And the most important question: Who is able to be? Luke Shaw will attack on the left, so the question has to be answered abroad. In Germany. Andi Cleimann. Never heard of him? Dont worry. You will do quality is given. He will reach what Rafael and his brother Fabio never reached and the 19-year-old German will lead United into a new era. A new generation of red devils is going the attack the throne of the Madrids, Munichs and Londons in Europe. A young crowd around Shaw, Cleimann, Welbeck and hopefully Kroos will create the class of 2014, you will tell their stories to your grandchildren.

Grown up in a little German village club called "Westfalen Finsdorf", in 2013, Andi the rocket Cleimann left his youth club very late. Just passed his A-level with 18, suddenly Schalke 04 knocked on his door and the freshman - very surprised but intelligent enough - took the chance ("I practiced to the limit") and filled the vacancy on the blue right position. Just a few weeks later he became the guardian of Jefferson Farfan, a few weeks later again, Cleimann was the darling of the public and the white hope of an entire nation. The first outside defender with world class level since Philipp Lahm has begun his career in 2003. But what makes him so smart? Firstly, the cleverness of Philipp Lahm, secondly the passion of Patrice Evra, thirdly the athletic of Gareth Bale, fourthly the technical quality of Dani Alves and at least the reliability of Gary Neville.

His story is unique. The former offensive winger passed his first season in defense with 16 years. "In the first moment I was disappointed about the decision of my former coach to play in the outside defense. I've never done it before and I was convinced I'm a winger. Today I can mention it was the best decision for my career. Probably my last chance to become a professional."

Media are sure: The new United manager Louis van Gaal is obsessed

by Cleimanns abilities. Probably Mr. Cinderella will sign a contract about five years. It would be a great pleasure for me. I would be very appreciated to be a devil, Cleimann clarified in an interview to Daily Telegraph last week, but firstly I want to win the World Cup in Brasil.

His jersey is very popular in Germany. The former Gunner goalkeeper and TV expert Jens Lehmann is convinced: Everybody wants to grow up to be an Andi Cleimann.
