Life Journey

However, we realize that only a few football fans had stumbled upon a concise Life Story of Kevin Volland. We prepared a brief profile for you. Without further ado, let’s begin. For starters, he goes by the nickname Volley. Kevin Volland was born in the city of Marktoberdorf, Germany on the 30th day of July 1992 to Anita Volland and Andreas Volland.

Among the three children born to his parents, the German footballer was the first to be born. Kevin Volland spent part of his childhood in the German city of Marktoberdorf. His siblings are a brother named Robin and a sister named Jenny Volland.

Kevin took it upon himself to take good care of his younger siblings; Robin and Jenny, as the firstborn of his parents. The time spent with his siblings was practically heaven for Kevin. In the first few years of their lives, they had nothing but fond memories, which he shared mostly with his brother, Robin.

Anita and Andreas’ sons shared some memorable moments as children. This is Kevin and Robin’s favorite memory from their childhood. To begin with, the German footballer comes from a sporting family. Did you know that? Kevin’s father, Andreas Volland, was a professional hockey player for the German national team.

During his youth, the proud Dad instilled a love of sports in his children – but allowed them the option to choose. According to research, professional hockey pays well in Germany. Salary ranges between 40,000 and 200,000 Euros (Tax-Free) in the sport. The footballer hails from Marktoberdorf, a German city that is the capital of the Bavarian district of OstaIlgau. As far as we know, Kevin is the most notable person from his metropolis.

Marktoberdorf, which has a population of 18,725, is known for its computer science education. In addition, the urban area hosts the International Chamber Choir Competition, a famous religious gathering. Anita and Andreas enrolled their sons at EV Flissen about 30 kilometers away from their family home.

The parents wanted to encourage their children to take part in sports education. Thus, the inseparable Volland brothers attended the same school. When they returned home from school, they only had one sport to play after school: soccer. They played it one on one in their parent’s basement garden. Kevin and Robin began their ice hockey education with EV Fussen, following in the footsteps of their father.

Even though Robin is two years younger than Kevin, his parents made him join Kevin’s team with special permission from the school. In that way, their mother (Anita) didn’t have to go back and forth (four times by train) to pick up the boys after training was over. Young Kevin played hockey in his childhood.

In their spare time (when they were not playing Ice hockey for EV Flissen), the brothers practiced at FC Thalhofen, a Sports complex in Marktoberdorf, close to their family home. Kevin was the first boy among the boys to become more enthusiastic about football.

In addition to his father’s trade, he was more ambitious than Robin in trying out other sports. The two of them decided to quit ice hockey and focus on football. As a result, they continued to play for FC Thalhofen. During his ten years there, Kevin laid the foundation of his career before joining FC Memmingen in the year 2005. During that year, the brothers separated for the first time, with Robin continuing to work with Thalhofen.

Volland married long-term girlfriend Katja Fichtl in June 2017 and they welcomed their first child, a girl, in March 2018.

Chelsea Transfer Controversy: Alex Sandro Bid Reportedly Rejected

Sandro, Conte’s “top target,” was the subject of another offer from the west London club, but the deal was rejected, and club director Giuseppe Marotta commented: “He said he wanted to stay here, so we sent them back where they came from.”

As a result, the Premier League champions already signed a left wing-back last summer, signing Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina to satisfy Conte’s need for a well-rounded left wing-back. According to Marotta, Juventus are under no pressure to sell Brazil’s international Sandro to Chelsea.

Reports conflicts with the €80 million (£73 million) Chelsea are reported to have already offered in their third bid for Sandro this summer, according to online sources. After moving to Turin from Porto in 2015, he established himself as one of Europe’s best defenders in his position, rivaling Real Madrid talisman Marcelo for a starting position in Brazil’s national team.

The Bianconeri remain steadfast in their stance, so Chelsea boss Conte is unlikely to land his man, though Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol did detail one method by which a transfer might occur. Conte has maintained an interest in his old stomping grounds, seeking to bolster his resources. He has already signed one Serie A defender this summer in the form of AS Roma defender Antonio Rudiger.

However, online sources pointed out further evidence why Juve would be hesitant to sell, having already seen Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci leave for pastures new in recent months. Adam Crafton and Ian Herbert of the Daily Mail reported that Willian is “fearful” he might follow outcast striker Diego Costa in being set adrift by Conte, who is said to not entirely trust his winger.

Willian sympathizes with Costa, who was told by Conte he could leave the club via text message. In spite of that, the Telegraph’s James Ducker picked out Willian as a special mention in last Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Burnley. Since joining Stamford Bridge, Willian has often been forced to settle for a bit-part role, with Eden Hazard and Pedro often overshadowing him, and a rejuvenated Victor Moses posing stiff competition for his signature.

According to online sources confirmed that Willian told Goal that Jose Mourinho was hoping to get back together with him at Old Trafford, an opportunity that could be on the table in the future.
