Tymoteusz Puchacz

Written by Tomasz Wlodarczyk, Radoslaw Przybysz and Maciej Luczak for Meczyki:

Tymoteusz Puchacz has taken over from Robert Lewandowski as team DJ and is perfect for the role, as a long-term supporter of the Polish rap scene, and a close friend of many of the nation’s most popular musicians. “I’ve learned a lot from the music of my friends,” he says. “They kind of created my worldview and approach to life. They taught me how to behave, what is important and what is not important.” The esteem is mutual. “I’m not a football expert and never have been, but watching his journey makes my heart swell,” said the Polish rapper Bedoes. “He has character and is not afraid to express his opinion. He may be loved or hated for his views, for his cockiness, but one thing is certain: this guy will go down in history as a football legend.” Puchacz is a fast, tricky left wing-back with great stamina and good crossing, who at 25 is coming towards the end of his best season yet, with one goal and 12 assists in all competitions for a Kaiserslautern side that struggled in Germany’s second tier but enjoyed cup success.
