Unofficial FC Bayern Forum

Almost two years ago, two videos appeared on YouTube and spread all around the internet and left everyone in awe. These videos showed compilation of actions and goals by Noah Shawn, then still a 7 year old. If you haven't seen the videos yet, scroll down to see them at the bottom of this article, because any description of them would seem like utter exaggeration.



Every now and then, on FC Bayern forums such as BayernForum.com, users wonder what happened to this child prodigy, who is now 9 years old. The only reason for this is that Noah Shawn’s parents have decided to stop putting video material on the internet because a lot of people are “terrorizing” the family. To disclose this was his mother, Yeliz, who BayernForum.com managed to contact for an exclusive interview.

The mother of the wonderkid wrote:Noah is one out of a million children who loves playing soccer for his life. Whether he is talented or not, Noah was just playing for fun. The experience what we and especially Noah Shawn had with this 2 YouTube clips were differently. Some loved him and wished him luck, other people act very jealous and unfriendly. Actually we don't want to put him into the public life. So many TV stations and productions wanted to film Noah privately and put him on television, in few words wanted to make money out of him, but we decided to stay distanced because we want him to feel like a child. If he really should become famous then with every part of his and not just for moments when people want to make fast and easy money with him. Even when almost the whole world knows him already, he is still a totally natural child with a very normal life. Noah goes to school every day and we the parents go to work to earn our money to live a normal life! We always have stress to bring him to his training three times per week we work all day. But we try our best that he can be lucky and good in soccer!

Wow, good job on managing to interview his mother.

It's a good thing they're keeping him away from the public life, it would probably have made him hot-headed and ruined the possibility of an amazing career. It's also great that he is still impressing people. If he continues to show extraordinary talent he will make his debut with Bayern early, when he's still like 16 years old or something.

Question : How did our forum manage to interview his mother ?

confidential information hehe

Good answers...and big thank you to his mother
