Sophia Thomalla and Lukas Podolski are currently having a funny exchange of blows. She finally sent him a truck full of sand.
Sophia Thomalla (32) and Lukas Podolski (36) are currently having a small exchange of blows. Most recently, the moderator left a pile of sand for the soccer professional, which he now urgently wants to get rid of, as his latest Instagram post proves. “13 tons of sand to sell cheaply. Please DM @sophiathomalla,” he wrote under a photo of him shoveling the sand. How did the unusual delivery come about? Well, it all started with a doner kebab.
Sophia Thomalla thanks Lukas Podolski’s kebab delivery with a load of sand
When the footballer posted a photo of himself with a kebab from his own snack chain on Tuesday (May 24) with the description “Back in Cologne. First a kebab”, he had no idea that Sophia Thomalla would take this as an occasion for a little joke .
She promptly reacted to the photo with the comment: “I always thought kebab makes you more beautiful”, and added a laughing emoji. The athlete didn’t let that sit and replied: “Hahahaha … you in Cologne? First aid is on the way ….!”
Only a short time later, the moderator actually held a kebab from the Poldi kebab chain in her hand, as she proved in a post: The soccer professional had sent her a load of food to the office of the start-up Schüttflix, where she was visiting at the time. She wrote: “The kebab man was there! Touché! 1: 1 for @lukaspodolski. That was a penalty without a goalkeeper”, and added: “Wait a minute my friend, I’ll return the favor later.”
Thomalla’s tit-for-tat promptly followed. 13 tons of sand landed for the athlete in front of Lukas Podolski’s sports park in Bergheim. Thomalla had ordered the tipper via Schüttflix. Vehicles loaded with sand, crushed stone or gravel can be ordered via the app – Thomalla is not only a testimonial for the start-up, but also a co-partner. “I thought playing sand could always be used as an athlete,” joked the 32-year-old in an Instagram story that shows the truck with the load.
Podolski takes the sand load with humor
Other stories show the sand being unloaded in front of the sports park. Finally, Thomalla appeared amused again with the doner kebab in hand and wrote: “But it was delicious. Thank you!”
“That’s what happens when @sophiatomalla thanks you for a kebab,” commented the footballer in a repost from Thomalla’s Instagram story. Podolski took the teasing with humor. “The Thomalla has one on the waffle. It’s not quite clean anymore,” he joked about the sand delivery in his story. Like the doner kebab, the sand also finds a sensible use: Podolski donates the load to the city of Bergheim – for playgrounds or flood protection.
