He's not near 30, he's only like 25 still(soon to be 26), he was a big hype since his teens thats why we've heard his name for so long. But its not only injuries that have detered his career, but TOO MUCH pressure by the GErman People for this guy (he was suppose to be like Germany's Maradona or sumthin). He simply cracked, suffered from depression and if Im not mistaken, he also had to attend special therapies to take care of his psycological and mental stability.
I've been a long admirer of this guy and I really hope this season he can start to shine again.
