.والمدرب أُعجب به، وعامله كنجم الفريق في سنته الأولى
Der Trainer mochte ihn und er
war ein Jahr lang der Spitzenspieler.
Además, solo era el as de primero
gracias al entrenador.
Además, solo era el favorito 
de primero gracias al entrenador.
L’entraîneur t’avait à la bonne, 
t’étais son joker.
Dato che era nelle grazie dell'allenatore,
era in squadra sin dal primo anno.
E o técnico o adorava e o tratava como 
a estrela do time desde o primeiro ano.
Тренеру он понравился
и стал асом-первогодкой.
