Serious issues with training and medical staff in the German football system

Very good thread

 

would not be surprised if this due to the whole soft approach play where the kids avoid contact at all cost. So when they get into contact they are injured. Possession style obsession has tons of negatives for dev.

German players are made of glass.

I also recall last season tons of youth prospects got injured just as they cemented themselves. Another one is Felix Uduokhai lost his XI place due to being injured.

seriously these constant injuries will just delay so many player's dev. People have said that Werner is lucky that he's almost never gotten injured otherwise he would likely have joined the has been youth player prospects.

 

Teuchert, Geiger, Amiri, Platte are also ones that come to mind. Geiger has been out for almost a year. Recently played in Hoff II. For the last 3 months, Nagelsmann seemed worried that if he plays he'll get injured and delayed for another half a year. So he was made to only play if he's 100%.

I think club/coaches/doctors and even players also tend to rush back even if not 100% fit. Which doesn't help these players.

 

those 2 guys it can't be helped though. They are dribblers where the ball is glued to their feet, so defenders tackling them to take the ball away also end up taking Kuhn/OBM out. OBM's current injury is from a tackle if I'm correct.

although good that Kuhn is fit. One thing I notice about Kuhn is that he doesn't dribble all the time. Uses it here and there almost on purpose to make players not except his dribbles. And when he sees a chance/opening for it. He's fast, good technique, good shot, combines well with other so he doesn't always need to do it.

 

yeah it's unfortunate for Teuchert this was his chance to play and unfortunate for the German U21 that their main striker is injured and not taking his 1BL chances.

 

it's also weird that most of the German-Americans seem to be injury prone.

guys like Brooks, Johnson, Chandler, Boyd, Wooten, Gipson, Shawn Parker, his bro Devante Parker.

some of these guys started to become constant injured the older the got. Even a 99 LB Corey Anton injured himself in U19 and hasn't played any competitive matches in over a year. Currently in Hoff II where he only made the bench once all season. Missed the last eligible U19 season and thus missed out on massively crucial dev time.

 

I think it has to do with the outdated physical training techniques used. More modern sports science and medicine needs to be put into play, but tradition is still very important in German football.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring in someone from the US that works in the field for NBA or NFL teams.

 

wow, he just came back from injury in early November and already injured again.

how many youth players will delay their careers because of injuries? Seems to be getting worse all the time.

 

but yeah barely plays and has injury issues, it's not even his 1st either, he had knee issues earlier in the season. Would not even be surprised if he's out until the Winter break.

such a waste, we still have 0 pictures at what Nagelsmann intends to do with him either. He's the one who announced in a press conference that Otto has a knock yet hasn't played him once all season.

 

Nagelsmann seems to have no interest in youth dev this season. All he does is dev Nelson, who played 16 games for Arsenal last season and that's it. He seems almost like he doesn't care tbh. It's his last season in Hoff, these players won't be of any use to him next year, he's got no benefit from bothering. Had he stayed next year, than there would be a ton of benefit in him playing youngsters.

in fact remembering his statements when he was announced as RB coach, he seemed like all he cared about was to end his last season at Hoff on a high note and that's it/

 

completely forgot that 02-Lazar Samardzic has been injured since Sept and seems like he'll be back in Spring. Not only is OBM out for awhile but another promising player.

 

last week, Sabiri comes on for Huddersfield his 1st chance in forever only to be subbed out like 3 minutes later as he was taken out and injured his shoulder.

now today, Abouchabaka comes on for Furth his 1st chance in awhile only to be subbed out a few minutes. He went for the ball and the opponent clipped him. Went off then came back on the field to be subbed out a few minutes later. Was super angry and went directly to the locker room.
