Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson stunned Munich by strolling shirtless through snowy streets, embracing the brutal Bavarian winter. His viral video sparks surprise and admiration.
Nicolas Jackson is a different player. The Bayern striker, owned by Chelsea after leaving on loan last summer, went viral on social media after posting a totally surreal video.
These days, snow has taken over the streets of Germany. In Munich, where the Senegalese player resides, the streets are flooded with snow, and the temperatures are so low that they make the streets practically uninhabitable.
But in Nicolas Jackson's case, everything is different. "Snow is part of my routine, nothing new," he posted, implying that the cold is now part of his routine.
The post quickly went viral, generating thousands of reactions and comments highlighting both his resilience and his peculiar way of adapting to the Bavarian climate. In the video, you can see Jackson walking down the street without a shirt, in shorts, and half-barefoot. Calm, and strolling, as if nothing were wrong, sporting headphones, and in the middle of the night.
Among the funniest responses is that of his former Chelsea teammate, Wesley Fofana, who reacted with humor to the scene, surprised by the striker's daring nighttime walk in the middle of the German winter.
Since he arrived at the German giant, he has played in 22 matches and scored 5 goals, though he has mostly started from the bench. And Jackson has had to compete for minutes with Harry Kane, who is going through another 'record' season in the Bundesliga. The English attacker continues to be Bayern's offensive reference, accumulating impressive numbers and establishing himself as one of the top scorers on the continent.
The Bavarian team is leading the German championship, maintains firm aspirations in the national cup, and also positions itself as a candidate in European competitions. In this context, internal competition for the starting eleven is high, limiting Jackson's regularity.
Before leaving the 'Blue' team, the striker was a starter for two seasons with Chelsea, playing more than 80 official matches and scoring 30 goals. However, after the arrival of new attackers like Joao Pedro and Liam Delap, the board decided to facilitate his temporary departure so he could add minutes elsewhere.
