Claudio Pizarro Mesut Özil watch promise

Claudio Pizarro recalls a specific chapter at Werder Bremen where the age gap was stark but the bond wasn't. When he arrived on loan, his family stayed behind in London for their children's schooling and because the city offered a bigger, more fun lifestyle than the training ground location. That left him to train alongside Mesut Özil and Sebastian Boenisch, who had previously played together at Schalke 04. The dynamic was wild: Pizarro was 30 while Özil and Boenisch were only 17 or 18 years old. Despite the difference in experience, he spent all his time with the two younger players, and they quickly became good friends. There was even a bet involved regarding their success. Pizarro promised to give watches to both Özil and Boenisch if the team won the Europa League final or any title. They ended up reaching the Europa League final and winning the Cup along with the German Supercup. Since the conditions were met, Pizarro fulfilled his promise by giving those guys some watches as gifts.
