Michael #Tarnat, Leiter der @96Akademie: "Chris saß nach Abpfiff mit Tränen in den Augen in der Kabine und war fix und fertig. Er ist während des Spiels dauerhaft und massiv beleidigt worden. Hier wurden Grenzen weit überschritten." #H96 #NiemalsAllein ⚫️⚪️💚

Michael Tarnat , head of the @ 96 Academy, said : "Chris was sitting in the dressing room with tears in his eyes after the final whistle and he was all ready and was insulted during the match, where limits were far exceeded."

Holy shit that photo attached in the article is downright heartbreaking. Hope he’s getting a lot of support over there. . He looked so sad man he’s just a kid

 

Wright scored the only goal for Schalke U-23's today.

 

In my opinion, one of the most underrated players of the YNT system, Zico Bailey '00 was with the U19 team of Kalmar FF (first division of Sweden) and apparently signed with them. He was with Cal State Fullerton last season.

It sounds like Mendez play is getting better. It also looks like Freiburg is playing him as a #8.

These are highlights of Mendez’s performance. pic.twitter.com/3rjmE9df4r

Soto played six minutes and didn’t get any touches.

 

EPB subbed out at halftime, anyone know why? Injured?

 

Thats what I read, but it was a translated source, which aren't always accurate.

 

Holy, one game injured two American prospects. Novakovic was injured as well. And seemed EPB conceded a PK?

 

It looks like it and yes apparently EPB made a bad gaffe to give up the PK prior to leaving the game.

 

Wright scored again for Schalke U-23.

 

is his next step a loan to buli 2 side? seems like the 5th tier just isnt good enough for his development

 

Well they wouldn’t even take him this season so hopefully

 

'00 Joshua Penn was in Brøndby today, according to his Instagram story, definitely at a soccer training ground of some sort (might be Brøndby IF's).

 

He probably just needs to leave. Loans are risky propositions with perils that include much more than simply footballing matters.

 

To be fair, his trial was at Union Berlin.

Union Berlin chose not to sign him...............but are in the real thick of the fight for promotion to the Bundesliga. So unfortunately it looks like Haji's trial was with a team that didn't particularly need him. They're one of the top goal-scoring teams in the division.

I just wonder if he'd have gone of trial to a St. Pauli or Bochum or Greuther Furth type of team if they'd have pulled the trigger. These teams should have seen enough of him at Sandhausen to realize that the tools are there.

 

Yuck. His loan at Sandhausen was awful. And Sandhausen played awful, dire soccer.

I wish he could join a 2.Bundesliga side fighting for promotion. Like Union, Paderborn, Koln, etc. Next year, maybe FC Nurnberg.

 

Yup, he's there.

Frem til fredag har vi besøg af amerikanske Joshua Penn, der træner med Superliga-truppen.
Joshua er årgang 2000 og spiller til daglig i Indy Eleven fra Indianapolis. Han har fået debut på USA's U19 landshold #Brøndby

According to his latest IG story he's apparently also trained with Helsingor on this trip. Perhaps other Danish clubs too.

 

Will he take advantage of his European opportunity? I recently read an interview that an Indiana media did to Joshua and he made it clear that he wanted to go to Indiana from a very young age, but the Danish teams have given Americans a lot of opportunities lately, so it would not be a bad idea go there.

 

Ignacio Cubeddu '00 recently played the Valencia Cup with Levante Juvenil. He is with Orlando City U18 / 19 this season.

He was also in the Levante team, Ethan Kim '02, who played at the academy of Valencia in New York.
I clarify that the Levante Juvenil team is neither the Juvenil A nor Juvenil B, but rather a grouping of international players who are on trial in Spain.

 

Andres Jimenez made his pro debut in cup action for Envigado.
