early years
Sven was born in April 1989 in the city of Rosenheim. He began to play sports when he was only 4 years old. He began to learn the basics of football in a specialized sports school in Branneburg, where he studied with his twin brother Lars. Initially, he did not stand out, but over time his game was appreciated, and Sven was invited to the Unterhaching club. There he managed to prove that he was a talented player. At the age of 14 he transferred to Munich 1860, where he decided to tie your life with football.
The young man played excellently in midfield and always succeeded in selecting the ball. This could not be overlooked in the main team, and very soon he will make his debut in professional football.

Professional career
Until 2009, he played for Munich 1860. At first, he was not a stable player of the basic structure, but this was due exclusively to age. After he became more experienced, got a place at the start and began to regularly enter the field. In total, Sven Bender spent 65 matches for the Munich team, and scored once in the rivals ’goal. Since 2008, information has begun to appear in the press that clubs such as Borussia, Bayern and London's Arsenal are interested in a talented player. As a result, in 2009 he transferred to the camp of “bumblebees”, which at that time was coached by Jürgen Klopp, famous for his ability to work with young football players.
Initially, Sven falls into the backup team, but very quickly managed to prove that he was worthy to play in the Bundesliga. Joining the base, Sven Bender no longer dropped out of the squad. He became one of the best defensive midfielders in Germany and began to actively challenge himself to the national team.
At a certain point in the German game there was a serious decline. It was in the 2014-2015 season, but then the whole Borussia played extremely badly. As a result, Jürgen Klopp left the club, and Thomas Tuchel came in his place. Starting next year, Sven again began to demonstrate a stable game, and is now busy in most matches.
The only negative point in his career is frequent injuries, due to which Sven has already missed a huge amount of tgr. Experts believe that it was precisely because of health problems that he could not compete with other players this year in the selection to the national team. Despite the injuries, many leading European teams are interested in this talented football player. The press often refers to Barcelona, Juventus and Arsenal in this context.
Team appearances
At the age of 16, Sven Bender made his debut in the national team. The football player spent 10 matches for the youth team, becoming one of its leaders.
In 2007 and 2008, he was also regularly called up to the German youth team, with whom he eventually became the European champion.
He played for the youth team in only one match, but scored in it with a double. In 2011, he received a call to the first team of the country. In total, he took part in 7 fights. A small number of games is due to the fact that on the eve of important tournaments, the midfielder regularly receives serious injuries.
It was because of health problems that he missed the European Championship 2012, in which the Germans became third, and the 2014 World Championship, which the German team won.
Personal life
Sven Bender, whose biography is presented in this article, does not like to tell reporters about his personal life. He prefers to keep secret information that relates to loved ones. It is known that the Borussia footballer has a twin brother Lars who plays in Bayer Leverkusen. Relatives are in good relations with each other despite the fact that they play in rival teams. The guys have repeatedly stated that they are enemies only on the football field, and outside it, best friends and comrades.
