This is in Qatar, but still, crazy....
This appearance by Julian Draxler raises question marks. The ex-national player came on as a substitute at half-time in his new club Al Ahli SC’s 4-2 defeat against Qatar SC, then scored a brace and quickly disappeared off the field again without being substituted.
When the score was 0-2, the new signing from Paris Saint-Germain entered the field.
And the 30-year-old delivered straight away: first he confidently made it 1:3 with a right-footed shot in the 62nd minute, then he reduced the score to 2:3 in the 66th minute with a powerful right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area after a one-two. They were the first goals since his arrival.
But then Draxler was suddenly gone.
When he received a ball directly in front of the dugout, he passed it to his teammate and left the field towards the locker room without announcement.
This also caused a stir internationally. FoxSports wrote: “He was the star of his team with a brace, but when he saw they were losing at home, Julian Draxler left the pitch, leaving his teammates with a man less, with no injury or extreme urgency to act of the German player was reported.”
The scene was also noticed by French Football Weekly: “After a back pass in his camp, Draxler simply left the field. Without interrupting the game, without consulting his coach or even without any apparent reason, the number seven left his teammates at the end of the game, visibly annoyed. We don’t know what drove the 30-year-old to behave this way.”
And Onze Mondial published: “In a game against Qatar SC, Julian Draxler lost his temper in the final phase of the game when he left the pitch for no apparent reason. When his team was down 3-0, the German attacking midfielder brought his team to 3-2 with a brace. Only the guests scored the fourth goal in the final phase, a situation that caused Draxler to have a complete breakdown, so he decided to leave the pitch on his own initiative.
However, there is obviously an explanation for the scene, although his club has not yet released an official statement. The offensive man is said to have complained of gastrointestinal problems and returned to the pitch a short time later.
Draxler couldn’t do anything about the defeat.
