From a sporting point of view, his time at Werder Bremen was a flop, but things are getting worse for Tahith Chong in England. As the police have now announced, his house was broken into in mid-January and he was threatened with a knife. The 22-year-old apparently even has to put up with malice.
Officially, Tahith Chong has been with Manchester United for almost six years, but the young Dutchman has rarely played for the Red Devils. He recently gained experience at loan stations such as Werder Bremen (mid-2020 to early 2021), FC Brugge (early 2021 to mid-2021) and now at Birmingham City.
He was absent from the English second division club from the end of last year until well into February due to groin surgery and has spent part of his rehabilitation time at his home in Manchester. But he hasn’t felt too safe there for some time now. Because according to information from the “Sun”, Chong became the victim of a burglary in mid-January, including robbery and threats.
According to the English newspaper, three burglars wearing balaclavas are said to have specifically chosen the soccer star to attack him. They reportedly broke into his apartment in the middle of the night, woke him up and threatened him with a knife to his throat. After that, Chong had to hand them over valuable items, jewelry, watches, and designer handbags. The intruders are even said to have mocked the Dutchman for his lax security at his home.
Apparently, the robbers seemed very professional. They are suspected of being involved in more burglaries of Man United or Man City stars in recent months. Chong, who was called by his name by the intruders, was said to have been “extremely shaken” after the incident, according to The Sun. Police were called and warned the United star and other players to pay close attention to what they post on their social media accounts.
Chong has been back in Birmingham since the end of February. On his second appearance, the centre-forward scored the early 1-0 against Bristol City that started the 2-1 win. As tables-19. But Birmingham hangs deep down.
Chong played for Werder Bremen between August 2020 and January 2021. In 13 shorter Bundesliga appearances he managed an assist. In the DFB Cup, on the other hand, Chong was allowed to play a little longer twice. Here he collected a goal and an assist. Because both player and club were dissatisfied with the loan, both sides ended the loan deal prematurely.
