LEGENDA TIMNAS JERMAN DAN IKON SERIE A YANG BERJUANG MELAWAN STEREOTIP

In the 1997-98 season, Oliver Bierhoff was Serie A's top scorer. An under-recognized striker playing for a relatively unpopular team, he appeared in 32 matches and scored 27 goals, only two of which came from penalties. At a time when Italian football dominated the world, he scored a goal every 105 minutes. However, despite his now legendary status, that would have seemed strange at the start of his career. The young striker was ousted from the Bundesliga amidst a wave of insults and jeers.
