A year ago, Niclas Füllkrug was a frustrated second division striker – now he’s going to the World Cup. Because the man from Bremen meets a requirement profile that is rare in Hansi Flick’s artist colony. He should take care of the late moments.

When Niclas Füllkrug scores a goal in Bremen’s Weser Stadium, the spectators immediately recognize what kind of guy he is. It is completely irrelevant how the goal was scored, whether with the right, left, head or other body parts that are not on the referee’s prohibited list. Füllkrug, 29, is a very complete striker. And everyone who lives in Bremen or studies the nationwide top scorer list knows that. That Niclas filling jug has been enthroned at the top for weeks.
