Backhaus Shaves Hair, Credits Karl Hein for Motivation

Werder Bremen keeper Mio Backhaus has cut his hair and credited Arsenal loanee Karl Hein for the competitive pressure that helped him improve.

Backhaus, currently fighting for his club's Bundesliga survival, revealed his natural dark hair and called the look a "fighting hairstyle" intended to help the team gather points. He remains confident that the squad's morale is high despite their precarious table position.

The German youngster admitted that Hein’s strong performances during his absence forced him to return stronger. He stated that the Estonian keeper’s form created healthy pressure that ultimately benefited his own performance.
