If there is a word that defines Rafael Santos Borre Already Mario Götze it is reborn Football has given the two strikers a second chance in their careers after some setbacks and this Wednesday (9:00 p.m.), in Helsinki, both seek to demonstrate with their performance the reasons that have made Frankfurt champion of the Europa League.

Borré and Götze are two strikers who have been classified as “promises” at the dawn of their careers; Both have reached ‘top’ teams in Europe with less than 25 years and, both, have presented drops in performance.

The Colombian barely left a mark on Spanish football: not even with the Atletico Madrid nor with him Villarreal found positive statistics. However, Marcelo Gallardo, coach of River Plate, convinced the coffee grower and ended up becoming the top scorer of the Argentine team in the last era, which, in the end, brought him back to the old continent thanks to the interest of Frankfurt.

The German, who scored the goal that gave Germany the title of World champion in Brazil 2014, saw his career plummet after a delicate metabolism problem; He left through the back door of Bayern Munich, returned to Dortmund and, in the end, ended up at PSV Eindhoven, where he remembered old times and improved his level to later sign with Frankfurt.

Now, destiny unites the two strikers who, recovered from past disappointments, arrive with a single mission at the Olympic stadium in the Finnish capital: beat Real Madrid and win the European Super Cup.

Two strikers without a World Cup

In addition to the relaunch of their careers, their falls and their presence in Frankfurt, Borré and Götze reflect another point in common: for now, the two forwards are not guaranteed their participation in the Qatar World Cup 2022.

Borré, who played in the qualifying rounds with the Colombian national team, had a bitter experience when the South American team was left out of the World Cup. Götze, on his side, affirmed that he “doesn’t think about the World Cup” and that his only objective is win with frankfurt .

The demanding level present in the German forward, the names of players like Leory Sane, Timo Werner o Thomas Müller make the return of the Maracanã hero to the team he leads complicated Hans-Dieter Flick.

In short, the German team has two forwards in its ranks who can complement each other and create a dangerous association for the defense of Real Madrid. Borré’s speed, along with Götze’s possession and ability to distribute the ball, give the Frankfurt coach variants to hurt Ancelotti’s team, which, in contrast, does not intend to make room for “surprises” and aspires to fight from this Wednesday for the sextet.
