Unveiling Merlin Röhl: The Everton Star’s Surprising Passions Beyond Football
Blessed with a huge curiosity for other people, Röhl thinks about the mental challenges facing others. “A normal person with a normal job, there goes so much on in the brain like trying to work out the bills, thinking about the kids, and then there’s so much anger inside of so many people, because everything is so hard. That’s where the brain is sorting everything out.”
Röhl is conscious, almost very self-conscious, of his privilege in being a professional footballer. “Football opened up a new life for me, where I’m financially so stable, where I have something that I have such a big passion for. If I wouldn’t have football, it would be really hard for me to find something where I would have that passion. Also the pressure of earning money would be there.” What might he have done? “Maybe medicine would be interesting. Neuro-science would be something I’m really interested in to understand our brain and how we see the world.” Through strong eyes.
