German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. III [R]

Well, could be. With "strange" I also meant the age of the mother, especially in comparison to the age of the father. Lets see which club gets the kid

 

Yea that part of the story was like wtf...There's also no guarantee this kid will be that good in the future. I'm not a fan of hyping up players when they're just 12 years old or whatever.

 

Absolutely, just posted it because of the special circumstances. So of course I hope a 12year old doesn't become the forums new german striker hope

 

Yeah, I was also like wtf. He was 53, she was 15 when Youssoufa was conceived. Sex with a minor...... shouldn't he be prosecuted ? I guess the laws in Cameroon are different.....

He's tearing up the U15 league at the age of 12. It's time to get excited y'all. He could be the next Messi

(or the next Freddy Adu)

 

Sinan Kurt just still isn't ready for the big leagues yet. He hasn't found a fit into Dardai's team plans since joining in January. Which is why Hertha are considering to loan him out to a 2.BL club this summer.

Stendel talking about the three '96 born talents he's trying to promote at H96. He considers Tim Dierssen to be "one of the most talented players he's ever coached".

Can Tuna is "a workhorse with vision in midfield. A hip operation has set him back, but now he returns."

Re: Sarenren-Bazee "I would bring Noah forward. He is quick as lightning".

Another special talent with African roots is Bayer Leverkusen's attacking midfielder Thierno Ballo. He is the best player from the 2002 age group and apparently Bayern Munich are desperate to sign him. I have no idea if he will join them. We have to wait and see. Ballo is the only 2002-born player who has been part of the German U15 squad this season( was called up for 3 different training camps).

Here he is, playing up an age group, #10 (recent videos) :




This is from April 2015 (his second goal was nice) :


This is from May 2014, scores 2 goals and makes 1 assist and 1 pre-assist vs Inter


He is technically gifted, quick, good dribbler, has vision and can score goals.

 

I've heard of him from a scout couple of months ago.

Ballo is very talented and can play multiple positions up front

Different to Moukoko, Ballo was actually born in Austria so he might not be able to lie about his age.

Same scout told me Moukoko is already 178cm at the age of 11. He has to be 14/15 already unfortunately.

 

U17 Euro groups are drawn. Germany will play against Ukraine, Bosnia, and Austria on May 5, 8, and 11 respectively.

Gruppe A: Aserbaidschan, Portugal, Belgien, Schottland
Gruppe B: Ukraine, Deutschland, Österreich, Bosnien & Herzegowina
Gruppe C: Frankreich, Dänemark, England, Schweden
Gruppe D: Italien, Serbien, Niederlande, Spanien

It's legal in Germany as well - age of consent is 14 here, so it's not just Cameroon.

 

I believe the law is that even with consent the partner also needs to under 18 ../ I don't think it's legal for a adult to have sex with a 14 year old !!!

 

No, it is legal. If one partner is a minor and the other over 21 years old, then there are stricter rules when it comes to consent - but in itself it's perfectly legal if both consent. For details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Europe#Germany

 

Sarenren-Bazee with his debut for Hannover 96.He had a solid game,considering that it's his first appearance in the BL.He seemed to be very quick,but too nervous sometimes.

 

He's too small. Won't win many headers against grown at his height.

 

Group D is definitely the group of death. All of those teams look evenly matched and with a chance to advance.

For group B, I'm not too familiar with Ukraine or Bosnia's players but this Austria side looks pretty meh.

 

Did this scout give you any other insight ? Did he talk to you about other talents ?

Yeah, Ballo was born in Austria. He is definitely not an age cheat.

What about the picture of him as a 10 year old ? Might be 11 there but not more than that, I don't think.

If he is actually 14, it's still a good achievement to be scoring so many goals at the U15 level. Might still have good potential.

 

Gnabry scored for Arsenal U21s and was impressive throughout the match. He is continuing to work his way back to full fitness.

Spain and especially Italy are usually not very good at the U17 level but still it's a very interesting group. The Serbians are usually big and strong and have a very well organized team so they will be a tough opponent.

Austria beat France 2-1 in the Elite Round so they might have a good team but still Germany should be beating them. Apparently Ukraine were lucky to get a 1-1 draw vs England in the Elite Round. England completely dominated them but were very wasteful. Bosnia have Benjamin Hadzic who has scored 15 goals in 21 games for Bayern U17s this season.

Portugal vs Belgium should be a very good game. France vs England too. I can't wait for the tournament to begin.

 

Did you know that Renat Dadashov's elder brother Rufat plays for Azerbaijan at senior level ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufat_Dadashov

What a coincidence that our best striker is of Azerbaijani descent and the U17 Euro takes place in Azerbaijan. You can't make this stuff up.

 

Waldemar Anton also made his first full start in Hannover's 2-2 vs Hertha. I remember reading a H96 fan forum a while ago, and this was the kid that many were excited about, so this should be his chance right now. Stendel also favors him ahead of others like Andre Hoffmann.

 

Yea, saw that result. But Austria were also held to scoreless draws against Iceland and Greece. I do enjoy the unpredictability and openness of youth football though. It's just I'm not really noticing any particular individual qualities within that Austria squad.
