Last summer, Robin Gosens opted for a return to his roots by signing up for Union Berlin after only a year and a half at Inter Milan. If the German defender expected to experience quite an epic with the Berlin club which had just created a sensation in the Bundesliga by qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in its history, he finally went through a first part of a more than delicate exercise, marked by a first non-relegation position at mid-season.

If the Iron Men are gradually catching their breath since the resumption in January, they regularly find themselves targeted by criticism, sometimes going as far as death threats. Lately, Robin Gosens has been paying the price. “After the 1-0 win against Wolfsburg, I stopped by with fans who had asked me for photos and autographs. One of them had a familiar face. When I sit in the car for a few minutes to go home, something clicks. This is the same man who wished me dead after the Mainz match because I apparently made a fake face during the fan protests and it was recorded by the TV cameras.indicated the German international via a post on his account Linkedin.
