by index on October 2, 2017

It is crystal clear that the former Chelsea, Blackburn and Wigan striker, Franco di Santo is performing far better in Germany than when he was in England.

The unheralded striker was one of the dangerous enemies to the goalkeepers in German Bundesliga especially when he recently joined Werder Bremen where he scored 12 goals in his last 18 matches.

Surprisingly, in the forward’s views on the two leagues, and contrary to the popular claim, he confessed that players in Germany are made to train harder than their Premier League counterparts.

a�?Cristiano is hugely motivated for this game a�� as always. He would be motivated even if it were a friendly, thata��s just the sort of player he is. Obviously we have many great players at Real Madrid but ita��s very rare one player wins so many awards,a�? Zidane said.
