National player David Raum from RB Leipzig shows a completely different face on the pitch than he does in private. "I see myself as a scumbag on the pitch. This character is needed in every team. In private, I'm one of the most harmonious people. But on the pitch, I'm an unpleasant opponent. There are definitely players who I really annoy," said the left-back in an interview with "Sport Bild". The 26-year-old added with a grin that some referees might have been happy "to have a break from me for a while".
Raum made his comeback after the first major injury of his career in the 5-1 defeat in Munich before Christmas. He had previously injured his right ankle in the Bundesliga game in Heidenheim last October and had to undergo surgery.
