Who is Jérôme Boateng?
Jérôme Boateng is a German soccer player at the age of 31. His current club is the Redkordmeister FC Bayern Munich, with whom he has always been the national champion in recent years. There he is still under contract until June 30, 2024. He was born on September 3rd, 1988 in Berlin and grew up with a sister and two half-brothers. One of his half brothers is the also very famous Kevin Prince Boateng, who is currently lacing his boots for the glorious FC Barcelona. Jérôme Boateng grew up in Berlin-Charlottenburg with a German mother and a Ghanaian father, who separated when Jérôme was only five years old. In Berlin, he finished his school career after finishing tenth grade with a secondary school leaving certificate in order to fully devote himself to his potential career as a professional footballer. As the next section shows – a step that can be considered completely correct.
A career that got steeper and steeper …
Jérôme Boateng made his first attempt on the sacred lawn for the Tennis Borussia Berlin club. However, several scouts soon became aware of the talented defense chickens, which is why a move to a larger club was only a matter of time. At the age of 13, he switched to the youth department of Hertha BSC and went through all youth departments at the capital club. Although it was still in the U19 in terms of age, the center-back was moved to the U23 in its second year, which then, like in the Regionalliga Nord, plays then. Jérôme made his debut for the professional team in the 2006/2007 season, in which he was used ten times. In the 2007/2008 season, the young central defender announced a change of scenery – because from Berlin he went north to Hamburger SV, where he was supposed to play 75 games from 2007 to 2010. The former Bundesliga club was another springboard for Jérôme Boateng on his steep football career. Next Stop Premier League – After three successful years at HSV, Jérôme Boateng moved from Hamburg to Manchester. But not to United, but to the current English champions City. The German defender spent a mixed period there. Again and again plagued by injuries, Jérôme Boateng never really got through, which is why he only had 16 missions for him – only a few of them from the start. Probably the most important and last step for Jérôme Boateng was the one to Munich. At FC Bayern Munich, there were a number of doubters before signing whether he could really provide the necessary stability in the back team, but since then they have been belied game after game. He matured into one of the best, if not temporarily, the best German central defender. It is not for nothing that he has played 182 games for the record champions from Munich since 2011 and, as already mentioned, is still under contract until June 30, 2024.
Highlights of his football life
In addition to the numerous national titles (championship and DFB Cup) that he was able to celebrate with FC Bayern Munich, there are probably two highlights to be highlighted in his football career. The Champions League trophy won in 2013 is likely to have left a lasting impression in the club’s career. In Wembley they beat league rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1 and were allowed to stretch the coveted trophy into the London night sky. The biggest title in his career to date followed just one year later. With Germany, Jérôme Boateng was the first European team on the South American continent to win the FIFA World Cup. In terms of performance, the two years may well be seen as the high point of his career.
