What's behind hubotic story you mentioned? I'm curious

They started off as our young CB pairing and for years they were like a single entity. They were both young CB’s who joined us at around the same time, they were both super talented, they were part of the very young team that won the league back to back, they grew together, and they complimented each other perfectly. They were basically attached at the hip. They did interviews together, they drove to club parties in the same car, and on the field they were amazing together.

Around 2013 their careers started moving in different directions. Mats was becoming a more important figure in German football and the Germany NT. Neven didn’t have much success internationally. There were also injuries (including a horrible ACL injury), we bought Sokratis from Werder Bremen and Sokratis earned a starting spot, and also there were changes in playing style (modern defending suited Mats’s style better).

And as their careers moved in different directions, their friendship also seemed to fizzle out into almost nothing? A lot of us felt it was weird how they seemed so close before, yet they drifted apart so quickly. Like one day they were best friends on the team and the next day they didn’t really have anything to do with each other anymore. But it also happened too suddenly for us to feel like something actually went wrong? They got along fine, they just didn’t seem like friends at all. (They actually both brought up their old partnership in interviews in 2015, but aside from that, hardly any hint that it had ever happened).

And then one of them became our captain but ditched us for Bayern Munich and now gets booed by our fans. The other one began to focus on humanitarian work, went on loan to keep his football career alive, and continues to be adored by BVB fans. If you just look at them now, you would hardly find anything that connects the two. Which is why it’s a little surreal to think about their early careers together.
