IRNA - German-Iranian teenager
Shervin Rajabali- Fardi could become the new star at Hertha Berlin, only two
weeks before the 2008/9 Bundesliga season kicks off, the Berlin sports press
reported.
The 17-year-old left-wing defender has already made football history by
becoming the youngest player at Hertha Berlin to play in an official game
for the club.
A starter in Germany's Under-17 national team squad, Rajabali- Fardi is also
set to make international football headlines by becoming the youngest player
to ever play in the Bundesliga.
Hertha coach Lucien Favre is full of praise for Rajabali-Fardi, saying he
would not be afraid of sending him onto the pitch during a Bundesliga or
UEFA Cup match.
Rajabali-Fardi has already made his recent debut in the UEFA Cup during
Berlin's 8-1 rout against lowly Moldavian club Nistru Otaci.
It was a "great feeling" to play in the UEFA Cup, said Rajabali- Fardi who
recently signed a professional contract with Hertha until 2011.
Rajabali-Fardi whose father is Iranian and mother is German, sees Arsenal's
Ashley Cole as his idol.
