Young fan accepts Lemperle's autograph but refuses Hlozek
A Hoffenheim youngster accepted Tim Lemperle's autograph but politely refused Adam Hlozek; the exchange was shared online.
A light-hearted moment at a Hoffenheim meet-and-greet became an unexpectedly awkward scene when a young fan politely declined a second autograph.
Refusal caught on camera
During a session where players signed shirts and posed for photos with supporters, German forward Tim Lemperle approached one girl and signed the jersey she had brought. Seconds later another first-team player, Czech international Adam Hlozek, moved in to add his signature.
When Hlozek started to write, the girl pulled away and made it clear she did not want his autograph. Hlozek was left holding the marker and looked visibly puzzled as those nearby registered the mildly uncomfortable moment.
The fan said, "No, thank you," signaling she wanted to keep only the signature Lemperle had already placed on her shirt.
The clip — reportedly filmed in 4K on the club's story — spread across social media on August 17, 2026, and prompted a flurry of reactions. Viewers were mostly amused by Hlozek's stunned reaction and by the girl's matter-of-fact refusal.
Although harmless, the exchange quickly became part of the online conversation among football fans, generating jokes and comments about the unpredictable nature of meet-and-greets.
