Sometimes, a performance on the field is so bad that it’s criminal.
That may quite literally be the case for a 25-year-old goalkeeper in
the lower leagues of Germany.
In a recent league game, SV Vonderort broke an undesirable record when it lost 43-0 to rival PSV Oberhausen.
According to German newspaper, Express,
SV Vonderort was down 35-0 at halftime, and at one point, it was only
able to field eight players. PSV Oberhausen was so embarrassed by its
lead that it made the sporting gesture of removing three of its own
players to even up the numbers.
After conceding a goal nearly every two minutes, goalkeeper Marco
Kwiotek may have wanted to completely forget about the performance after
becoming the world record holder in the history of football for
conceding a goal per two minutes in a match.
However, five days later at a training session, two police cars
arrived at Vonderort’s training ground in Bottrop (around 30 miles west
of Dortmund). The 25-year-old keeper was escorted from the training
field by armed officers and brought to the local police station for
questioning.
The Sun reported that, "Kwiotek called out to players as he was
led from pitch by cops at the club’s base in Bottrop, western Germany.
They just want to clear some things up.
"He has not been seen since and police have refused to comment on why he was taken into custody."
Club managing director, Christian Schröer told Express that he
hopes the shot stopper will be available for selection in Vonderort’s
next game. Hopefully, he won’t have to reach into the net quite so often
in that one.
