Emre Can is a famous German footballer who has represented the Italian club Juventus since 2018. Plays as a central midfielder.
Biography
The future footballer was born in January 1994 in a family of Turkish emigrants in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. From early childhood, the boy was an extremely active child and his parents decided to send him to a sports school. It took a long time to choose a sport - there are very good football schools in Germany, and therefore the parents enrolled their son in the football academy "SV Blau-Gelb", which is located in Frankourt.
From the age of six, Emre began to play football and progress began to be felt almost immediately. Just six years later, he was noticed by another local club, Eintracht Frankfurt, one of the city's best teams. In the new team, Jan did not play a key role, but he appeared on the field quite often, and in many matches he helped his team achieve success. The success of the talented youth attracted the attention of the German grandee, the football club "Bavaria". When Jan was fifteen years old, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich reached an agreement and the young midfielder moved to Munich.
Professional career
In the top club in Germany, the boy again had to prove that he deserves a place in the team, but at a new level there were new tests, which Can did not cope with very well. As a result, he consistently "polished" the bench in the youth team, and having the opportunity to play for the main team, he quickly went to the double.
After playing two seasons for Bayern II, he went on loan. The new club of Emre is Bayer 04, the middle peasant of the Bundesliga, in which the promising footballer played only one season. In 2014, the English club Liverpool drew attention to him, and after agreeing on the contract, the German of Turkish origin went to conquer the English Premier League.
Emre made his debut for the English club in August 2014. He replaced Joe Allen in the 1–3 win against Manchester City. Not the brightest debut was consolidated by the failure in the German national team under 21 the following month - Jan suffered an ankle injury and was forced to miss the start of the season.
The next appearance of the German in the colors of Liverpool took place only on October 19, in a match against Queens Park Rangers, which ended in a 3-2 victory. The footballer scored his first goal for the new team on November 8 in a match against the principal rival, London Chelsea. At the end of his debut season, Can received his first red card, in a game against Arsenal, in which the Merseysides were beaten 1-4.
The following season, the team was headed by Jana's compatriot, Jurgen Klopp. One of his priorities was to get the talented footballer to start scoring with his goals as soon as possible. The first goal under the new coach Emre scored on October 25 in the match against Kazan "Rubin", which was held within the framework of the Europa League. In February 2016, in a game against Aston Villa, Jan scored the first goal in the English Premier League. This match ended with a crushing score of 6-0.
In the Europa League, Liverpool were confident, but they suffered serious losses before reaching the quarterfinals. In the match against Borussia, Jan was injured and, according to the statements of the coaching staff, was eliminated before the end of the season. But already by the semifinal stage, in which the Lersisides faced off against the Spanish Villarreal, Gian returned to the ranks and entered the field. The footballer himself later said that he trained for eight hours every day in order to recover for such a serious match and help the team.
Jan started the next season at the base and was regularly noted for good performances. Emre opened the 16/17 goal scoring on October 29 against Crystal Palace, scoring the first goal and thus becoming an accomplice in a major 4-2 victory. On November 6, he also scored a major victory - in the match against Watford, he scored the third goal, the game ended with a 6-1 victory for Leaver. This victory temporarily brought Klopp's charges to first place in the championship. In May 2017, thanks to a goal from Jan, Liverpool scored a minimal win in the second leg over Watford. It was for this magnificent ball that flew into the opponent's goal that the player received the "Best goal of the season" award.
Gian spent another fruitful season at Liverpool, and in June 2018 he moved to the Italian club Juventus after the expiration of his contract with the Liverpool. Klopp and the club's management considered this the most favorable outcome in the current situation. The player has a four-year contract with the Old Lady, which also includes special conditions for clubs that want to buy Jana. It was the first time Juve applied this practice to their players. The debut in black and white for the German footballer took place in August 2018, and he scored his first goal for Juventus only in January 2019.
