Werder Bremen’s tricky Brazilian playmaker Diego has captured the attention of his fellow professionals. Having impressed his colleagues in the Bundesliga, the Brazilian international was voted ‘Player of the Season 2006/2007’ by his peers. The members of the professional footballers union (VdV) put Diego top of their list with 31,4%, clearly ahead of second place VfB Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez (12,1%).
Diego will accept the honour before the kick-off when Werder take on Hertha BSC Berlin at the Weser Stadium. At the same time, the midfielder will pick up the award for September’s ‘Player of the Month’. The poll taken by soccer magazine ‘Kicker’, the German Football League (DFL) and t.v. channel DSF saw Diego take a whopping 64,6% of the votes cast.
