The story has been told many times in football, but it is always new. One has already been written off, a case closed, people no longer believe in him, the coach no longer believes in him. But at some point something turns, a tiny thing in the schedule of events. And the one from whom no one expected anything more comes back again. In order to bring the story of Niclas Füllkrug to the so-called point, one may briefly switch to Latin. Per aspera ad astra, through the rough to the stars. That pretty much sums it up.
