Bab 755: Tony’s Little Scheme

Ibišević fully integrated with the team. He had no problem with the language. Now that he had scored his confidence returned. He often joked with his teammates during training and in the locker room, or he would recount "his homeless and miserable" life to everyone... He was popular.

In fact, it was one reason Twain bought him—Ibišević was not the kind of player who would spoil the atmosphere in the locker room. On the contrary, he had a significant role to play in the team's cohesion. When Ibišević was at Hoffenheim, he did not play in the main force. Yet he provided substantial assistance to his two direct rivals, Obasi, and Demba Ba, with their assimilation into life in Germany. His selfless help kept him on the team even though he only scored five goals within thirty-five appearances in his first season at Hoffenheim.
