German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. III [R]

Well, I was more impressed with Yesil and Ducksch last year (and it didnt take long) than i am toawrds Benkarit

In Yesil n Ducksch, u saw two stars. Consistent, has composure for their age, both have good vision and football IQ n it looks ke both are much better finishers.

 

I wonder why smithfan hasnt presented his views on the Euro so far.

 

Smithfan is a woman ? Really ? No way

 

She should be happy about some potential future stars in Dudziak, Suele, Goretzka, Itter n Max Meyer tho

 

Of course I'm watching the tournament. Didn't have enough time to comment here yet.
Impressive defensive display, but was to be expected. Offense not working as well as it could due to Gnabry's injury and not enough options on the wings (Meyer is a great player but he actually needs to play in the centre to show what he's really capable of) and Benkarit having some sort of typical "i must score and become more nervous with every minute I haven't managed to score" striker syndrome. Germany probably tournament favourite no.1 with this kind of defense.

thanks. appreciated.

 

Lol... Why is that so hard to believe?

 

Anyone know what Bayern bosses are trying to do with Can? Is he on loan schedule or the Bosses are so impressed with him they want to watch him "closely" lol. Ok. they have Gustavo, Sweini, Kroos, how realistic is it he will get a first team action? How come they let Kroos develop his game on loan while keeping a great kid from developing his talent. That is not cool.

 

He'll be with the first team next season and fight it out with Gustavo and maybe Tymoschuk if he's there for the DM position.

 

[Insert sexist joke here]

 

Team of 19 year olds or under:

------------------------------ter Stegen
--Weiser-----Koray Guenter---------Ruediger-----Dudziak
------------------Emre Can--------Leon Goretzka
---Gnabry-----------------M.Goetze----------------Draxler
---------------------------------Yesil---------

subs:
GK) Leno
DF) Pascal Itter, Danny da Costa, Hartherz, Niklas Süle
MF) Matthias Ginter, Bittencourt, Max Meyer, Moritz Leitner
FW) Volland, Timo Werner, Marvin Ducksch



VERY VERY PROMISING TEAM

 

From what I've read the other day, ter Stegen is now 20 years old! He therefore cannot be part of this team, which results in an encompassing collapse of not only this squad, but also of the future of German football (as well as Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder's armchair).

 

It is not just promising. I put them as favorites of winning the world cup 2018

 

U get my point, he is still very young n these players show that we dont have to worry about any position for the future

I actually like what i've seen from Hartherz this season. He is inconsistent but showed glimpses of brilliance.

For whoever worries about our lack of fullbacks, at least we have someone like Weiser, Dudziak n Hartherz coming through;

Yesil, Ducksch and Timo Werner will solve the scarce of strikers in the near future

 

Weiser isn't a fullback and probably never will be. Werner just went 16, let him develop. And I am still not sure if Ducksch and Yesil will make it. So hard for young strikers

 

Dudziak isn't (or wasn't) a fullback either .

 

Yeah, but I see more potential in Dudziak as a fullback than Weiser. Weiser in my eyes is clearly an offensive player. But you never know

 

everybody was seeing Alaba as a CM or a winger but look at him at LB. Weiser is 18 so anything can happen

 

Weiser's favorite player is dani Alves. Make of that what you will. Also, most of the great modern day fullbacks like Marcelo,Alves,Evra were wingers at 18. A bit later, they were made full backs.

 

Dudziak's football brain is a bit better imo (not a big surprise, he's a central midfielder and not a winger like Weiser), that's why he doesn't have as many problems as Weiser had on this position. Both are extremely quick but Dudziak so far successfully uses his speed to cover up his rather weak positional play. Weiser wasn't able to do that. But we'll have to see if Dudziak can improve his positional play because the older the opponents, the more likely will his weak positional play be punished. Dortmund developing him on the LB position from now on would help, but I haven't heard anything yet in that regard.

 

By the way Weiser is moving to Bayern Munich. When he is 21, bayern's current right back Lahm will be 32 so I think it is a great decision by him.

 

Wow, I do not think Dudziak is the clear better player than Weiser than some of u thin though.

Dudziak impressed me, but so did Weiser in the U17 World Cup.



Yesil n Ducksch, interesting topic. Both are top talents, but they Needa leave their clubs. Under 4-2-3-1, teams only play with 1 striker n contenders like Dortmund or Leverkusen will prefer players with more experience and more proven.

Dortmund have Lewandowski and he'll be arround in the starting lineup for a couple more seasons; Leverkusen may look for foreign strikers, Kiessling can still play for another 2-3 years....this hurts the development on young German strikers in fact

Mlapa n Schieber have to play at wings. Wtf?

 

I was talking about the rightback Weiser, not the winger. He's a great winger without a doubt. But his rightback Games weren't exactly impressive.

 

All young defenders struggle with positioning. That comes with a lot of game time. He is intelligent and quick. He has all the ingredients of becoming a top fullback. Let's see where he is in 3 years.
