Google Translate isn't helping. I think he scored his PK miss.

 

Hat trick?

Unglaublich! Nun sind es wieder die Gastgeber, die treffen. Wieder ist es Devann Yao, der schön ins lange Eck schlenzt. #BAKRBL 3:4 (76.)

Incredible! Now there are the hosts, who meet again. Again, it is Devann Yao, who flicks beautifully into the far corner. #BAKRBL 3:4 (76.)

Not surprisingly, he made Mannschaft Der Woche:

 

Devann Yao is on the move again - (post July 1) to Meppen in 3Liga - Germany

 

Nice move for a player who logged less than 600 minutes in the Regionalliga in 2016-17. He may have been injured for part of the time.

Meppen (former home of Paul Caligiuri) just won promotion out of their regional fourth tier league.

 

Picked up a goal for his new club in one of those German "let's flatten a patsy" friendlies:

Wir gewinnen das Spiel gegen #Ankum mit 9:0 (5:0). Torschützen: 2x Kremer, Sembolo, Yao, Deters, Hyseni, Heerkes, und 2x Kleinsorge. #ndsvm pic.twitter.com/fVhf5t78oe

Good to see Devann in the 18 today - off the bench at 63' - for new team Meppen, as they lead Zwickau 3 - 0 in Germany 3Liga

 

Spector, Onyewu

 

Fine, be that way.

I hope he posts an update in here again.

 

BTW, Yao is 27 years old, has had a YA thread for 12 years, and today became eligible for his own Wikipedia page. A momentous occasion.

 

On the bench as Meppen host Sonnenhof and Joe Gyau in 3Liga

@bungadiri Can Devann be moved to YA and title changed to Devann Yao at Meppen - Please

 

On at 77' in a 1 - 1 tied match

 

Looks like Devann has out stayed his welcome at Meppen....here's a quote from German Press....
" Also goalless is Yao. The 27-year-old American was only six times on the pitch for Meppen because of several injuries, once from the beginning. Neidhart counts Yao. "With us, everything has to be 100 percent correct and we come across the team spirit. Devann does not necessarily show that he is a team player, but a loner. And then he is out of place with us. "Maybe you will not consider him at all and let only play in the second team, announced the coach. Yao's contract runs until the summer of 2019. For him, there should be interested parties. "Whether he wants that is his business. We can not influence that. "Even before the winter break, Neidhart and Co. had discussions with the players' advisers. Neidhart: "Now you have to wait and see what develops in the next few days."

I guess that sums it up wait and see!!!

 

he wants to go down to 4th division???
