VfB Stuttgart forward Jamie Leweling (25) is prioritizing football over partying during his Mallorca holiday. While teammates celebrated the 8-1 friendly win against Kickers Offenbach, the Germany international was already fine-tuning his form for the new season. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 4th in Bundesliga, 62 pts, 18W-8D-8L from 34 games, recent form DWDDL.
What is Leweling doing in Mallorca?
Leweling posted an Instagram video from Athletico Baleares’ fourth-tier stadium. His routine includes shooting drills, feints, and finishing exercises. Fitness coach Nigus Solomon Kidane, founder of the Golden Boot Academy, joins him, even playing as a defender. At over 30°C, the 25-year-old grinds on technique and scoring to be ready for the Chiemsee training camp (August 4-7).
Why skip the celebrations?
As Angelo Stiller (25) vented frustration after Germany’s disappointing World Cup exit at the Megapark, Leweling stayed laser-focused. His motto: football over partying. Kidane, acting as a defender, was outplayed by Leweling in training. “Can’t catch what you can’t see,” Kidane captioned their duel on Instagram.
What does this mean for VfB Stuttgart?
Leweling’s discipline reflects the team’s high standards. Last season, they scored 71 goals and conceded 49 (goal difference: +22). Next Bundesliga opponent: SC Freiburg (away, 2026-12-19). Currently sidelined: Dennis Seimen and Justin Diehl.
