Martin Terrier’s Time to Shine Worth the Wait at Bayer Leverkusen

Martin Terrier, the 28-year-old versatile forward for Bayer Leverkusen, has been making headlines since his return from a lengthy injury layoff. The French player has had a lot to celebrate, including the birth of his daughter in July and a possible goal of the season contender in the team’s 2-0 Rhine derby win over Cologne last weekend.

Memorable Strike

Terrier’s goal against Cologne was a truly memorable strike, and he sat down with the Bundesliga to discuss the details of the goal. “I think I executed it perfectly, with a bit of luck obviously, but it was a great striker’s goal,” he said. “It was exactly the move I wanted to do. I’m very happy because it was a tight match at 0-0. [The goal] unlocked the game.”

Inspiration from YouTube

When asked if he used to watch goals like that on YouTube, Terrier revealed that he and his brothers used to watch compilations of the most beautiful goals in the history of football. “And it is true that there are similar moves that have been scored [to mine],” he said. “It’s a real pleasure to score this kind of goal. I hope that in a few years we will still be talking about it.”

Positive Feedback

Terrier has received a lot of positive feedback after scoring, but he thinks this latest goal is ahead of the others. “I thought about the people who supported me during my injury,” he said. “I will not name them all, but Laura, who handled my rehabilitation, followed me every day for nine months. She even came with me to France when I became a father so that I could continue training on my Achilles rehabilitation.”

Mental Strength

Terrier has also spoken about the mental strength he has developed after suffering two big injuries in a short time. “You have to be very strong mentally,” he said. “I always gave the best of myself and I think that is why things are going well for me now.”
