Career

1. FC Cologne

Lukas Podolski began his football career in 1991 with youth 07 Bergheim and changed 1995 D-youth of the 1. FC Köln . As a C-youth he was trained by Willi Breuer . In the 2003/04 season , at the age of 18, he still played in the A-Juniors Bundesliga on the first eight match days and scored eight goals there. Then he was invited by Marcel Koller , coach of 1. FC Köln, to train with the professionals. On November 11, 2003, he signed his first professional contract and made his professional debut eleven days later. Three game days later he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 1-1 draw against Hansa Rostock . In his debut season, Podolski scored 10 goals in 19 top division games, something no 18-year-old has ever achieved since the Bundesliga was 41 years old. But since he was the team's only successful goalscorer, 1. FC Cologne was relegated to bottom with 23 points. In the second Bundesliga he was the top scorer with 24 goals in 30 games the following year . 1. FC Köln finished first in the table and went straight back to the Bundesliga.

In the 2005/06 season , Podolski again managed a double-digit goal yield, but his twelve goals this season were not enough for the Cologne team to keep the league again. The striker named the renewed relegation to the 2nd Bundesliga as the main reason for his departure from Cologne.

FC Bayern Munich

On July 10, 2006, Podolski moved to Bayern Munich , where he got a contract until 2010. There he could not assert himself permanently, he did not get beyond the status of a supplementary player. In the 2006/07 season he scored only four goals in 22 games for Bayern and was voted “relegated 2006/07 season” in a survey by Kicker magazine among 268 Bundesliga players at the beginning of June 2007 . The 2007/08 season was similar with 25 appearances and five goals, but he was German champion and cup winner with Bayern.

For the 2008/09 season , Podolski's former sponsor Jürgen Klinsmann was Bayern's new coach. This spoke out against a departure Podolskis, but remained only a substitute player. After playing only two full time in eleven matches in the first half of the season, his return to 1. FC Köln after the season was negotiated during the winter break. In the second half of the season Podolski came to seven more missions until Klinsmann was dismissed after the 29th match day. In the last five games under the new coach Jupp Heynckes , Podolski showed, at least briefly, the best performance of his time in Munich with two goals and five assists. In total, he scored six goals in 24 games in his last Bayern season.

Return to Cologne

For the 2009/10 season Podolski returned to 1. FC Cologne. His contract ran until summer 2013. In order to refinance part of the transfer fee, a welcome game against FC Bayern was held on July 24th, which was broadcast live by RTL and ended 2-0. In addition, the transfer fee was partially financed by an investor. Podolski's scoring in the first season at FC remained far below expectations; after his first goal on the fifth matchday, he only met again on the 25th matchday against his former club Bayern Munich.

The 2010/11 season was again more successful for Podolski with 13 goals in 32 games despite a torn ligament before the winter break; he was the ninth-best goalscorer in the league. For the second half of the season he was also the new team captain of 1. FC Köln under coach Frank Schaefer . With 44 points and tenth place, the team showed an upward trend, which should be continued under the new Norwegian coach Ståle Solbakken in the 2011/12 season . Solbakken first made Pedro Geromel of the same age the new captain. Podolski himself played a successful season and built on his achievements of earlier years with 18 goals as the fourth best goalscorer in the Bundesliga. In the game against Hannover 96 on March 11, 2011, he scored his 50th Bundesliga goal. Nevertheless, the team got deeper and deeper into the relegation battle in the second half of the season and ended up on a direct relegation zone after a 4-0 draw against Bayern Munich on the last match day . After four years in the Bundesliga, FC had to return to the 2nd division and Podolski left his youth club for the second time after his third Bundesliga relegation with 1. FC Köln.

Inter Milan

On January 5, 2015 Podolski moved on loan to the Italian Serie A at Inter Milan until the end of the season . He made his debut a day later when he came on as a substitute for Zdravko Kuzmanović in the 54th minute of the 1-1 draw against Juventus Turin in the Derby d'Italia . At the beginning of February 2015, he was not nominated for the Milanese Europa League squad . Of newly received by players in the current season already for another club in the Champions League were played, each club was allowed maximum nachnominieren a player and coach Roberto Mancini decided to also during the winter break from Bayern Munich committed Xherdan Shaqiri . Podolski scored his first goal for Inter on April 28, the 33rd matchday, when he scored the 2-1 winner against Udinese Calcio in the 65th minute of the game. In eight of his 17 league appearances, he was in the starting line-up and only scored one goal.

Galatasaray Istanbul

For the 2015/16 season he signed the Turkish first division club Galatasaray Istanbul , where he signed a three-year contract with an option to extend for another year. With his first competitive game for the club on August 8, 2015, he won the Turkish Supercup with this with a 1-0 win over Bursaspor . In his league debut on August 15, 2015 (1st matchday), he scored the goal to make it 2-2 in the away game against Sivasspor in the 81st minute. On May 26, 2016, he scored the 1-0 winning goal in the cup final and was voted Player of the Game. He started the 2016/17 season again with victory in the Supercup (against Beşiktaş Istanbul ).

Antalyaspor

In January 2020 Podolski returned to the Turkish Süper Lig and signed a contract with Antalyaspor.

National team

Lukas Podolski played for German youth teams from 2001, starting with the U17 .

Regarding the rumors that the Polish Football Association PZPN had invited him to play for the Polish national team , but he had refused for financial reasons, he said: “Nobody suggested that I play for Poland when it was still possible. The officials slept through the opportune moment. "

At the end of May / beginning of June 2004 he took part with the U21s in the European Junior Championship taking place in Germany . Already after the preliminary round, in which Podolski was used twice, the German offspring were eliminated. But without having played for the senior national team, Podolski was nominated as the fifth striker for the German squad for the 2004 European Football Championship . Just four days after the last game of the U-21 European Championship, he was invited to the A-team's preparatory game against Hungary in Kaiserslautern. In the last quarter of an hour he was substituted on, so the decision for the German national jersey was finally made. The game was lost 2-0. At the European Championships in Portugal he was substituted on in the decisive third round match at half time, but the game against the Czech Republic was lost - and the senior team was eliminated early.

After the failure, the team was reorganized for the upcoming home World Cup and Podolski was regularly used in the national team. During the team’s trip to Asia in late 2004, he made his debut against Japan and scored his first two goals for Germany against Thailand on December 21. At the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany, he participated as a regular player and scored three goals in four games. After the tournament he scored three goals himself in an international match against South Africa and put on the fourth goal. After that he was a regular player in all World Cup preparation games. At the 2006 World Cup , he was used in every game of the German team and scored three goals. The FIFA technical committee then voted him the best young player at the World Cup, ahead of such prominent players as Lionel Messi (Argentina) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal). By the age of 21 he had already scored 16 international goals, something no other player of that age had achieved before.

In the European Championship qualification from September 2006 to November 2007 he was again very successful and scored eight goals in nine games. He contributed four goals to the 13-0 win against San Marino , the highest German victory of all time in a qualifying game. He missed a game because he had previously been sent off and suspended in a friendly against Georgia on October 7, 2006 after being assaulted. It was the first red card of his professional career. At the European Championships in 2008 he was back in the top team. In Germany's first two group stage games - the 2-0 win against Poland on June 8 in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee and the 2-0 win against Croatia on June 12 at the same location - he scored all three of the German team's field goals. In the quarter-finals against Portugal and in the semi-finals against Turkey , he prepared both goals for Bastian Schweinsteiger . The day after the defeat in the final against Spain, he was elected to the All-Star-Team of the Euro 2008 by the UEFA Expert Committee.

In 2008/09 he played again in nine of the ten qualifying games for the following major tournament. Together with the friendly matches during this period, he scored an average of one goal in every second international match. On September 6, 2008, Podolski scored his 30th national team goal against Liechtenstein. He was (at the age of 23 years and 3 months) the youngest German national player to have succeeded. Worldwide, only six players have been younger to date: Pelé , Sven Rydell , Ronaldo , Sándor Kocsis , Stern John and Ferenc Puskás . At the World Cup qualifier between Germany and Wales on April 1, 2009 in Cardiff , Podolski had a verbal argument with Michael Ballack in the 67th minute of the game and then apparently hit him in the face. Ballack had previously given the striker loud tactical instructions. The alleged assault was not sanctioned by the DFB or FIFA, but Podolski voluntarily donated 5,000 euros to a fair play campaign by the DFB.

On May 6, 2010 he was appointed to the squad for the 2010 World Cup by national coach Joachim Loew . There he scored the first goal in the first group game, but missed a penalty at a World Cup in the second game against Serbia as the third German national player after Uli Hoeneß in 1974 and Uli Stielike in 1982. In the second round, however, he scored the 2-0 against England (final score: 4: 1). After the semi-final defeat against eventual world champions Spain, he skipped the match for third place: It was the first World Cup game he had missed since his first nomination.

In qualifying for the European Championship in 2012, he appeared again nine times for Germany, but with three goals he had his worst goal rate to date. But all nine games were won. Podolski was then for the squad of Euro 2012 nominations and stood in the first game back in the starting. In the preliminary round against Denmark (2-1) on June 17, he completed his 100th international match at the age of 27 years and 13 days . He replaced Franz Beckenbauer as the youngest German "hundred" and was the youngest player in Europe to achieve this number of international appearances until March 22, 2013. (On March 22, 2013, he was replaced by Sergio Ramos as the youngest European "hundred".) In the game he scored his 44th international goal to lead 1-0. In addition, he was subsequently voted “Man of the Match” by UEFA. In the quarterfinals, coach Joachim Löw then selected a new formation with Marco Reus on the left attacking side and Podolski had to sit out. In the semifinals he returned to the starting line-up, but was replaced after a 2-0 deficit at half-time against Reus, but the tournament could not be averted.

Podolski (with the trophy) after winning the 2014 World Cup

In the 4-2 win in the friendly against Ecuador on May 29, 2013 in Boca Raton , Podolski set a new record (since football timing began) after just nine seconds for the fastest goal scored in one International match of the German national team. He scored the second fastest international goal to date behind the San-Marine Davide Gualtieri , who needed 8.3 seconds against England in 1993 . With his 48th goal, he also overtook Jürgen Klinsmann and Rudi Völler and took third place on the national team's " eternal goalscorer list ".

On May 8, 2014 he was appointed to the provisional squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil by national coach Joachim Löw . He was used in two preliminary round games, a total of 53 minutes. On July 13th he became world champion with the national team .

After the resignation of Miroslav Klose , he was the most active German national team player with the most goals. Only Klose (137) and Lothar Matthäus (150) have played more international matches and only Klose (71) and Gerd Müller (68) have scored more goals for Germany.

For the European Football Championship in France in 2016 , he was reassigned to the national team. In the tournament he was substituted on in the round of 16 against Slovakia when the score was 3-0 in the final quarter of an hour.

On August 15, 2016, Podolski resigned from the national team. His farewell took place on March 22, 2017 at the friendly against England in Dortmund , where he scored the winning goal to 1-0, which was voted Goal of the Month in March 2017 and Goal of the Year 2017 by the viewers of the sports show .

Style of play

Podolski has - especially with his stronger left foot - a powerful shot on goal and a direct and straightforward style, with which he often gives targeted assists and scores precise goals from a long distance. He is therefore also considered a good free kick taker. Previously used in the storm duo with Miroslav Klose , he played in the national team mostly on the left side as a hanging tip, but was also able to play in the center of the storm, as over long periods at 1. FC Köln. At Arsenal he was mainly used as a playmaker behind the top, where he often varied the various offensive positions.
