Do you remember Fredrik Gulbrandsen? Sure, you do. The Norwegian attacker joined New York Red Bulls on a season-long loan from Salzburg in 2017. He made little impact in 12 appearances and returned to Austria after 89 days, where he proceeded to score 28 goals over the next two years. As far as synergy loans go for Red Bulls, it’s probably one of the better ones.
But that’s not what makes him special. No, no, no. What makes Gulbrandsen notable is a certain part of his body that impresses even the most experienced of doctors.
According to Red Bull Salzburg team physician Dr Jürgen Herfert, Gulbrandsen has the monstrous calves of a superhero who spent the last decade walking in high heels.
