German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. III [R]

Exciting group of young players developing at Leverkusen.

 

17 year old Havertz
19 year old Henrichs
20 year old Brandt
21 year old Tah

-- damn exciting Leverkusen

 

Pretty crazy to imagine if they kept Öztunali as well who is also only 20 years old and has a bright future ahead. He would have further boosted their depth.

Today tv.dfb.de had a livestream for the match between Stuttgart U19's and Bayern u19's. Damn, we missed it !!

Spanoudakis grabbed the winner in the last minute. Stefandl bagged a brace against his former club. For Bayern, Manuel Wintzheimer (one of Kirsten's favorite strikers) and Tillmann scored the goals.

Werder Bremen U17s kept a clean sheet against a Leipzig team consisting of big talents like Majetschak, Kühn, Abouchabaka, Krauß, Hartmann and Ludewig. They won 1 nil. Impressive feat.


Dadashov didn't score once again as Leipzig U19s drew 2-2 with Bremen U19s. Melvin Krol played 82 minutes which is a positive considering the lengthy injury layoff.

 

We're the real deal.

I hope several talents can emerge from this U17 group. High hopes for Jean-Manuel Mbom specifically.

 

Benjamin Goller from Schalke U19 continues to be a surprise. Bags a brace vs RW Essen U19 to move his goal tally up to 8 along with 7 assists in 11 games this season. Florian Krüger adds another.

Johannes Eggestein said he isn't frustrated about his situation in Werder Bremen .....YET

I'm slightly surprised about his usage actually. So talented and highly rated. Yes he is just 18, but it's about time to make an appearance in the 1BL

Even Manneh and Niklas Schmidt are ahead of him in the pecking order

By the way, just curious, is Manneh eligible to play for Germany?

 

I wouldn't even say Werner benefited much from playing that young. He struggled for years. This current season at RB seems to be his possible best yet.

Eggestein seems better off taking his time and develop his game. Also Bremen league wise is not a good position so playing noobs might not be ideal, whereas the others started in teams that did better at the time.

 

From the interview, Eggestein understands where he's at in terms of development. Building strength/muscle and physical robustness are aspects where he wants to work on. Especially when looking towards playing against adult professionals. He's at a stage where regular 3.Liga competition can still be beneficial to him. And he understands that the jump already between that level and U19 (where he's still technically eligible for) is quite noticeable and offers a relative amount of challenge.

 

Felix Uduokhai scored just before HT, as 1860 Munich take the 2-1 lead vs Sandhausen. Florian Neuhaus in the starting XI again.

 

Tough test for Mainz as they look to bounce back against an in-form RB Leipzig squad. Serdar vs Werner from the outset. Öztunali and Selke on the bench.

Werner scores his 4th goal!

 

That was quick, Werner scored even before I could get my stream set up lol.

 

Hmm, I guess that was debatable. But Werner could have been awarded penalty there for being shoved in the box.

 

Wow Werner is pretty fast that was a great run and assist!

 

2-0 now, Werner running riot today. Great sprint up the flank and delivers an assist this time to Forsberg in the center.

 

Close chance again for Timo, but goes bit wide.

 

Another incisive pass by Werner in the box. His teammate should have done better there and converted.

 

Werner scores 2nd goal and 5th of the season.

 

Just curious , is Manneh eligible to play for Germany?

He has a refugee status I think ?

 

Easily the best game in Werner's career so far. Nice clinical finish on Leipzig's third.

 

Werner has always been lightening quick.
