    I know but there is a minority(like 2-3% of the population) of sub-Saharan Africans in the North African countries. As you can see Yamal is a black Moroccan. Kabal looks like a black Libyan, not an Arab or a Berber. I mean he looks brown in some pictures, black in others. It's hard to say. Maybe he is mixed race.

    ******** Bayern, PSG, Ajax, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.....Let's go Freiburg!!!!


    Bayern, PSG, Ajax, Arsenal, Chelsea and above all Manchester City are showing concrete interest in signing Noah Darvich. His future is completely open. His contract in Freiburg runs until 2024.

    However, the U19s have been relegated from the A-Junior Bundesliga. The leap into the U23 would only be attractive if there were realistic prospects for the professional department in addition to the 3rd division. His agency Leaderbrok is looking for the right project for him to develop further.

    After the U17 European Championship, Darvich will decide whether he will continue in Freiburg or at another club.

    Kabar looks Brown though.

    Yamal has a Equatorial Guinean mother which is why he's darker though.

    Oh, I didn't know about his mother. That said, there is a black local population in the south of Morocco and Libya. In real life, I know a black Moroccan woman who speaks Arab as her mother tongue.

    When we played France a week ago, it was a game of two halves. They were better in the first half and we outplayed them in the second. Now they will adjust tactically. It's going to be a difficult game. Their best player already plays for PSG's first team, that's why he is not here. He won the Euro last season.

    Let's hope Darvich is not money hungry like a lot of teenagers who ruin their careers by moving to big clubs too early. He is at the right club to develop his all-round game, bulk up and get first-team football. Bayern, PSG, Chelsea and Manchester City would be awful choices. Ajax might not be a bad club for him. Arsenal have Odegaard in his prime. I doubt Noah will displace him any time soon but Arteta is a good coach who could help him in theory. He will have to hope that Odegaard moves to a bigger club or becomes injury prone. He is just better off staying at Freiburg.

    Finale! Oh ho! Finale! Oh ho ho ho!

    The final will be a 50/50 game. Both teams, France and Germany, came back after trailing behind in there semifinals so come back ability is there.

    My prediction: 2-2 full time and Germany winning the penalty shootout.

    interesting seeing comments like
    "Maybe the future of German football isn't so dark after all."

    Cringe how people actually thought this to be true. DFB's marketing work at its finest, putting down every age group, shitting left and right etc. And add the German media every few months, "sound the Talent alarm, Germany has no talents" and BS like that.

    and more and more people believe it because DFB+media wouldn't be wrong, LOL. I'm not an expert but they get a shit TON wrong, just pessimism and negativity.

    less we forget according to Bierhoff, come 2028-onwards and doomsday for Germany, LULZ.

    DFB also has a habit of if your not in 1BL=you don't exist too.

    but if one watches last season's 2005 and this season's 2006 full of quality players with bright future. 2005 only lost on PK had they won that PK they likely would have won U17 Euro last season and that PK loss vs France was seen by majority as the REAL final.

    and as one advances in years, more 2005 and 2006 gain relevance too. As when an age group hits U18=new players, in U19=new players etc.

    even the 2004 showed a lot of promise too, sure we lost in Elite Round Qualifiers U19 vs boogeyman Italy. But based on showings we should have won that group hands down, just missed opportunity and some stupid blunders.

    on side note, even though we had issues defensively we actually not bad in D. Goals conceded
    -vs France=GK blunder, 1 goal
    -vs Swiss=dumb PK, 1 goal
    -vs Poland=2/3 goals=Bulut issue but Bulut isn't a CB but fullback and 1/3=goalazo

    so if one looks at our D, its overall good and if we bench Bulut and play Dal who was suspended, I think we would should hopefully avoid conceding stupid goals.

    also Attack wise, I think its clear that Germany has deadliest attack in this tourney. Just imagine we had put away our chances and we hit post/bar like 4 times or something in the matches.

    we also look like deadliest team in terms of corners/FKs too. Its like everyone can head the ball in the back of the net!!!! Its been long time since any German team was this good in FK/corners.

    I don't care at end of day if we win trophy or not. Sure I would like for it to happen but not dealbreaker. Its not as important as quality of the players and potential they show.

    I don't know if this has already been posted. Very interesting/important article about youth development
    [Sky Sports] AZ Alkmaar use BrainsFirst test to identify best young talent and it has helped them win UEFA Youth League

    In April, AZ Alkmaar won the UEFA Youth League by scoring 19 goals and conceding only twice in the knockout stages. Their triumph underlines their reputation as one of Europe’s best academies. It is a tale of talent identification and development. But there is more to their success than scouting and coaching. The process of establishing which players they invest time in is a decade in the making. At AZ, they have been studying the brains of players as young as 12 to better understand their potential.

    "AZ look for players who are not only outliers physically, mentally, tactically and technically but also cognitively," Eric Castien tells Sky Sports. He is the founder of BrainsFirst, the organisation recruited by the Eredivisie club to test the brains of their youngsters. If you are at the elite level at 16, maybe even with the national team, but score poorly repeatedly on our tests, then AZ would most likely not hire you. It is about identifying future potential not primarily current performance as almost all clubs still do."

    It took four years for Castien and the neuroscientists at BrainsFirst to demonstrate that they could identify the brain functions required to be an elite player. Having done so, they needed six more to prove they could use it to predict future performance. Now they can. Castien himself is no scientist, just an affable Dutchman with a curiosity that led him down this path. A former journalist, his journey began in 2011 when writing a book about talent identification at Real Madrid and Barcelona. Talking to the coaches was the spark.

    "Everyone inside those academies knew all about talent and both clubs agreed that evaluating that talent came down to the four factors - physical, mental, tactical and technical. The problem was that there was a fifth element that they could not identify. Some of the coaches there called it magic. Others called it the black box. You either have it or you do not have it, but nobody knew what it was. Was it a third knee or an eleventh tooth? No, it was up here, inside the brain. That was the black box for them. They were not stupid. Intuitively, they understood that there was something decisive that they could not grab. They were aware of it, but could not decode it and transform it into tangible, actionable data. That is what we have done with clubs like AZ Alkmaar."

    The starting point was to speak to two neuroscientists at the University of Amsterdam. They scoffed at the notion of magic. The scientific explanation was clear. This was about brain function and not only was it not magic, but they were able to measure it. Castien's role was to marry the two worlds. Neuroscience, meet football. "I wanted to make a bridge between the two ways of thinking to decode the magic and understand game intelligence." He visited the biggest clubs in the Netherlands to make his pitch.

    "I explained to them that elite football was primarily not a physical activity but a brain activity. The muscles and the lungs are secondary. The brain is primary. You would call it magic. But you cannot measure magic and I can measure brain functions."

    By 2016, their tests, now conducted in the form of games, were able to challenge different parts of the brain, looking at memory, anticipation, attention span and self-control. "There are about 1,500 data points now so everyone does it differently," says Castien. As the bosses at AZ explained to him, that was when the hard work started. Football clubs are not purely academic facilities. They want to win and make money. It was one thing to identify what made an elite player. Their aim was to predict it. Each AZ player had a test score, independent of the evaluations of the coaches. BrainsFirst told them which ones were in the green curve, those with greater cognitive potential. "We had to show that our group of approved players perform better over six years," says Castien.

    "That is what we did. One study showed that the group cognitively performing in the best 33 per cent within their age group developed a market value six to seven times higher than the lowest-performing group. It shows you need to be investing in the intelligent players. Everyone says that is logical. OK, are you telling me that you know that a 15-year-old player is intelligent enough to make it eight years later? You cannot. But we can. That is our function. We did not reinvent the brain. We just linked brain function to the pitch."

    When Castien begins to talk about measuring "the pre-frontal cortex at the front of the head" of a 12-year-old boy, it is easy to feel uncomfortable. This feels like something out of Minority Report, children found guilty of the pre-crime of not being smart enough. Castien accepts the point.

    "I agree as a human being. It is harsh. But is not about general intelligence. We are not interested. It is about what makes you intelligent and whether this fits the context of elite football. To me, making talent decisions based on opinions and subjective reasoning is more unfair. The tests are at least objective. After 16, if you are not in the green curve, you will not be in the green curve at 22. That is not a very attractive idea for people because they like to believe they can make anyone better. They can. But elite football clubs require players to be an outlier. It is why we never say categorically that this player will not make it. What we do say is that the probability is higher or lower. If you are having to compensate for a poor brain performance on football-specific skills then it is a low probability that you will make it at the elite level."

    "At AZ, they use a threshold and the talents in the academy have to perform cognitively well enough. If they are not, and the other indicators are not super strong enough to compensate for it, they will say that it is unlikely the investment will bring a return. We are only giving the club this one piece of the puzzle. If this piece is not at a high level, then the investment is high risk. I know that sounds harsh but are you able to meet the requirements of the brain at Premier League level? Ninety-nine per cent cannot."

    Castien should know. He has done the tests himself on over one hundred occasions. He uses his own example to illustrate how difficult it is to be an elite athlete regardless of the body. He is a school-smart man. But he does not have the brain of an elite football player.

    "My capacity for collecting information is high. I can process a lot of it. But it takes time. That is not good because on the pitch it needs to be fast. My reaction time is good. Good enough for elite football, even. But I cannot switch my attention fast enough. I am always two or three steps behind and it is not something I can train. It is how my brain works. It worked for me at school and at university. There, if you have a few minutes to collect information it is no problem. On the pitch, you do not have a few minutes."

    Castien wonders whether this might explain some of the differences even within elite football. "You will have seen it when a player moves from the Eredivisie to the Premier League, they say it is strange because the speed of their actions is too slow," he adds. "The reaction is to get the physical trainer to make them more explosive, try to make their legs stronger. Maybe that is a good idea. But it is also a good idea to find out whether the brain is sending the messages quickly enough to tell the muscles what to do."

    It is only likely to become more important. "Football today is becoming faster and more demanding. It is more complex. You do not have the classical winger any more. You have players swapping zones. That is more complex for the brain," Castien explains. "If you have less space and less time, you must solve the problems faster. It is not that we are saying that football requires smarter players, football is saying that football requires smarter players. We help them to identify those who can meet the requirements."

    In practice, it is highly likely that many of the best teams are already self-selecting. "Players such as Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan at Manchester City are good examples. I think Pep Guardiola intuitively understands that he needs those players," says Castien. "It is like at school. If you are teacher with 25 kids and five are highly gifted but you have to pay attention to those who are not, what happens is that the gifted kids become bored and frustrated. Maybe they start to underperform because they are not challenged. "It is the same at football clubs. The trainer has to adapt the complexity and the speed of the training to the majority or even the cognitively weaker ones. That is not what you want because you want the training to be more demanding than the matches. As with the Navy Seals, the real-life situations should be less difficult than the situations you found yourselves put in during training. You need to train at a higher level than you need to perform but most of the time it is the other way around, unfortunately."

    All of which leads us back to AZ, where their commitment to identifying that 'fifth element' is giving them an edge on the rest. Others will catch up eventually. For now, they hope to enjoy first-mover advantage because of their appetite to think differently.

    "There is a big difference between clubs. I do not think it will be news to anyone that the bigger clubs are accustomed to the thinking that if they make a mistake, they have enough money to correct the error. The challenger clubs need to be smarter than them. Clubs like AZ are much more open because if they are just going to copy the stronger teams they know they will lose. They have to do it differently so we help them to see talent differently and identify these blind spots when it comes to the talent pool."

    The might of Europe's super clubs puts a check on AZ's ambition. Money usually wins in the end. But scratch the surface and, on occasion, there will be a glimpse of where the best work is being done. In Geneva last month, football caught just such a glimpse. AZ hammered Hajduk Split 5-0 in the final and it was no fluke. Prior to that they had already beaten Eintracht Frankfurt by the same score. In the last 16, Barcelona were beaten 3-0. In the quarter-final, it was Real Madrid on the receiving end of a 4-0 thrashing. For Castien, the man who had been inspired by those Spanish giants to set about decoding the magic, it was a moment to reflect. "It was not just that they beat Barcelona and Real Madrid," he says. "They did it with every one of those youngsters tested by BrainsFirst."

    I recall was said that Rhein scored off the charts in cognitively tests. Too bad since he has physicality issues will need more time to make it.

    BVB - Paris Brunner from the youth division of Borussia Dortmund: The picture book run
    Paris Brunner is causing a sensation at the U17 European Championships in Hungary these days. Thanks in part to his goals, Germany reached the final. He has already proven that he has a keen nose for goals in the youth team at Borussia Dortmund.

    In the 5:3 semi-final victory over Poland, Brunner scored for the fourth time in the current competition. Together with team-mate Robert Ramsak (FC Bayern) and Spain's Marc Guiu, he is the top scorer. His qualities in front of goal will be needed again in Friday's final, when they face Spain or France.

    In the BVB U17 his yield was even better - and by a lot. Brunner scored more than three goals per game on average before the now 17-year-old was promoted to the U19s.

    This supposed "fate" is likely to be suffered by many players in Borussia Dortmund's youth division in the coming years: Anyone who draws attention to themselves in the BVB youth team with an extraordinary goal rate will get various comparisons with Youssoufa Moukoko in the media.

    He once created a huge hype with his 141 goals in 88 competitive games for the Dortmund U17s and U19s, which was understandable given his young age coupled with the many goals. Paris Brunner is currently in a similar situation.

    After all, the bare numbers are enormously impressive: In the 2022/23 season, Brunner scored 24 goals in 31 competitive games for the two Dortmund youth teams and prepared four more. before every 98 minutes he hits the net. Already last season there were nine goals and four assists in 15 league games.

    It is particularly noteworthy that Brunner's picture-perfect run was not stopped by a promotion at the beginning. For the Dortmund U17s he scored 14 of his team's 18 goals in the first four match days of the Bundesliga West. Against ex-club Bochum, from where he came to Borussia in 2020, he scored five times in a 5-1 win on Matchday 2.

    So it made enough sense to push Brunner up another age group. U19 coach Mike Tullberg welcomed the German with roots in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to his team. Brunner was initially in the squad for the Youth League games, where attacker Bradley Fink, who had moved to FC Basel, could have played.

    Since October, Brunner has also been playing in the U19 league. Only once more, in the derby against Schalke - Brunner remained goalless at 1:1 - he kicked in his nominally age-appropriate U17. However, he immediately confirmed that Brunner has outgrown his age and has no problem playing with players who are two years his senior.

    He scored five times in ten games for Tullberg's team. The 16-year-old equalized on his league debut against Bonner SC (2-1) and scored the winning goal. Even more important, however, were his three stalls in the Youth League against Sevilla, ManCity (goal to make it 1-0 after just 57 seconds) and Copenhagen. In Spain he saved the 1-1 seven minutes after coming on as a substitute, in Denmark his artistic header goal made it 1-0 in the 87th minute for the much-celebrated progression.

    "It worked straight away, I settled into the team straight away. I made up my mind to wait for the next steps, to accept everything that came my way and to meet even more," Brunner then told Ruhr Nachrichten.

    After that, however, not much happened. Although the BVB-U19 advanced to the final, only three goals were added. In the 4-2 defeat in the final against Mainz, Brunner scored one goal as a left winger. In the German U17 national team, however, he was still unstoppable.

    The second captain of coach Christian Wück scored six goals in the first five international matches there. "Paris is a very reflective player. He knows where he wants to go and what he has to invest for it," Wück said in an interview with SPOX and GOAL at the time. "That sets him apart and, in my opinion, is the main reason why he has developed so rapidly in the past year."

    In the ten games that followed, they added seven more goals, including two in the European Championship against France and one each in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

    Paris Brunner: Those are his strengths and weaknesses
    Despite the small slump in the U19s, Brunner continues to ride a wave that has made his chest significantly broader. "Due to the fact that he is very successful in all his teams, he currently has an extremely high level of self-confidence," said Wück. "That also helped him to take an incredible step forward. He takes responsibility in the team, represents his opinion and can inspire a team."

    The biggest plus of the 1.85 meter tall Brunner is clearly his physique at this young age. At 17, he already has physical abilities that allow him to remain stable and assert himself in duels with elders. Added to this are his footballing strengths.

    "Paris is very present in front of the goal and extremely dangerous. He develops an incredible power in the game with and against the ball," said Wück, explaining that Brunner can act as a centre-forward, hanging forward or winger. "Thanks to this power, his physicality and athleticism coupled with his technical skills, he is predestined to score quickly after winning the ball quickly. He also has a good basic speed. All these different factors make him so dangerous."

    BVB has tied Paris Brunner until 2025
    Brunner still has potential above all with the first contact and his technique when he approaches the opponent at high speed. The understanding of the game and the clarity of one's own actions are not yet fully developed. For Wück, however, this is whining at a high level, "because you always have to make a compromise between athleticism and technically filigree football".

    BVB has tied the top scorer to itself by 2025. The association wants to gently encourage and challenge Brunner. The player clearly has the imagination for more. Even if his crazy run should slow down at some point.

    A Scouting Report on 02 CB Lawrence who is an XI in 2BL loan until 2024 to Magdeburg. Next Generation Per Mertesacker!!!!

    Jamie Lawrence
    Player Profile:
    Nationality: German, Nigerian
    Age: 20
    Date of birth: 10/11/2002
    Club: 1. FC Magdeburg (On loan)
    Career: Kirchheimer SC (Y), Bayern Munich
    Position: Right Center Back
    Preferred foot: Right

    Jamie Lawrence is a towering 201 cm physically dominant right sided center back that also played the full 90 minutes against Darmstadt. He has a broad chest and is still lanky and filling out but is quite strong and dominant in the air—there was hardly an aerial duel all game that he lost due to his height and surprisingly excellent body control/use of frame. Lawrence is quick in short areas with nice acceleration and agility despite not being that pacy and lumbering around.

    On defense, Lawrence dominated in duels with his physicality, never fouling despite getting all over his marker in 1v1s with his vast frame. His size overwhelmed while his knowledge of positioning and body control allowed him to keep the ball in front of him and make timely stand tackles to win back possession in duels. When tracking in aerial duels, Lawrence did well to find the ball and use his height to clear with his head and was quite accurate, too. He even intercepted long passes toward box with his right foot to clear on multiple occasions. His timely clearances and duel wins were key to preventing the score line from involving more than one goal. The only times he was caught out were in transition when he did not quite have the pace to retreat on time, though his teammates covered for him. Lawrence usually stuck to his line out of possession and let play come to him, approaching his marker conservatively as to not get beat in behind. This made up for his pace deficiencies oftentimes and displayed good awareness of his own limitations. When marking, Lawrence stayed physical and had his hands on his attacker to stick with him. This allowed him to keep with his marker in the box on busy set pieces and led to a blocked shot on a cross to his man at front post. Overall, Lawrence was a spectacular physical threat with elite body control on defense that was dominant in all duels and very solid in 1v1 technique.

    The right footed center back on loan from Bayern Munich was a key part of the buildup and even played as an extra striker late in the match looker for the equalizer. Lawrence was a valuable piece of the buildup and attack and had great quality on ball for his position and size. His passes were accurate with both feet and was nearly two footed, although he clearly preferred his dominant right. He was able to make passes under pressure with both feet and had excellent range, playing short, intermediate, and even an accurate aerial through pass to the right wing with his dominant foot to progress play directly. His vision was high quality for a center back and he even played skill moves inside to beat his marker a few times. Lawrence’s decision-making being quick, yet patient when needed, showed in his ability on one touches and tactical understanding to know where to go with possession before it hits his feet. He also got forward late in the match to add support in attack, establishing himself as an extra striker taking advantage of his height for aerial duels. Additionally, Lawrence stood in a holding midfielder’s position outside of the box when not penetrating to aid crosses when desperation for a leveler set in. His ball-playing ability and overall technique on the attack and buildup make him an exciting talent outside of just his dominant defensive play.

    Rating – A1, Very good, could play higher
    Lawrence is on loan from Bayern Munich through next season and another twelve months with Magdeburg should prove his dominance at the position at second tier standard. By then he will have more than earned a move into the Bundesliga and hopefully caught the eye of his parent club for potential first team minutes in 2024/25. His physical gifts and technical prowess both on ball and defending mesh for a special talent lurking below Germany’s first tier.

    -02 CB Gruber goes from RL Augsburg II to 3rd Liga Verl. He has trained/friendlies with Augsburg 1st team and gotten a lot of praise but that club doesn't integrate.


    -01 GK Grave of 1BL Bochum who was injured for awhile, extends with Bochum and goes on RL loan.


    -04 GK Neutgens of Bayer U19 (was a regular with 1st team due to homegrown rules) moves to Gladbach II in Summer.


    -Goodbye Flekken and welcome the new 1BL Freiburg #1 02 GK Atubolu

    according to reports Dortmund have French 03 CB Coulibaly and 99 CB/DM Papa on the strike list. Papa should never have signed pro contract with Dortmund and should have went to 2BL last Summer.

    anyways, one would expect this means that 04 CB Collins will likely be 1st up when it comes to Dortmund needing back up from Academy aka won't be in matchday squads but when injuries happen that's when he might make it. I assume Collins will play all of next year in II/3rd Liga and then they will decide what next. Then again who knows if one takes advantage and breaksthrough 1st team next season.

    Mainz continues to push for 01 GK Riess!!!!
    1. FSV Mainz 05 is currently looking for a successor to Finn Dahmen (25), who is leaving the club this summer. As reported by BILD, Daniel Batz (32) from 1. FC Saarbrücken is said to have come into focus.

    According to information from the tabloid, Batz (contract until 2024) is a "very hot candidate". It remains to be seen whether the keeper will find his way to Mainz.

    It is clear that the 05ers are looking for an experienced goalkeeper who should join the structure around number one Robin Zentner (28) and young goalkeeper Lasse Rieß (21). Mainz boss Christian Heidel: "He has to fit into the team, can be 25, but also 33."

    In addition, the official restricted: “He also has to accept that he might be number three. We want to continue promoting Lasse. He or the new one – the better one sits on the bench.” Batz definitely fits the profile. The only question is whether he can make friends with the prospect and the third division team will play along.

    Massimo di Benedetto looks like another very talented dribbler watching that goal. A few years ago he would have been discouraged from attempting a solo run like that.

    I take it none of Janitzek or Mbi have any first team prospects, even with these departures?

    Janitzek was pushing to leave perm in Winter and looks to have been blocked. I guess he wants out in Summer. As for Mbi, Brazzo was like we are loaning out Mbi since we rate him and will comeback......but loans him out with buying clause, LOL....which H96 is looking to activate. So yeah he's unlikely to return.

    Although still think Mai, Lawrence, Mbi, Janitzek should all end up in top 4 leagues. Already 3/4 are XI in 2BL-1st Abroad level which is just below this.

    as for Buchmann is most likely for Bayern breakthrough for a CB but what's plan is he supposed to be 4th CB or 5th CB if one includes potential usage of Stanisic there??? If he's 4th CB option he could end up with chances.

    the full kicker article
    Should both Pavard and Hernandez go, FC Bayern will definitely need a new external central defender. Internally, Tarek Buchmann should move up to the professional squad for the new season. A three-year contract as a professional has been negotiated for the 18-year-old defensive player. He should train with the professional squad, but primarily collect match practice in the second team in the regional league. Nevertheless, in addition to Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano, who is not undisputed internally, Munich need a top-class defensive center in the event of two departures.


    so sounds like de Ligt+Upa+1 new addition. So Buchmann might end up as 4th choice CB next season.

    this also confirms that ALL relevant Bayern 2005 born will no longer play U19.
    so Wanner, Ibrahimovic, Aseko, and Buchmann. Buchmann was only one who wasn't playing RL this season.

    -A + update on 05 CF Pejcinovic who made his 1BL/pro debut for Wolfsburg on last matchday.
    When Wolfsburg's managing director Marcel Schäfer last spoke about the VfL Wolfsburg strikers in the coming season, he mentioned Lukas Nmecha and Jonas Wind, the potential top players for the role of number nine, as well as 18-year-old Dzenan Pejcinovic, who played on the last day made his Bundesliga debut against Hertha BSC (1:2), a highly gifted talent. There was no mention of Bartosz Bialek, who was loaned to Vitesse Arnhem this season - and will also be chasing goals elsewhere in the new season.
    https://www.kicker.de/nach-fuenf-treffern-in-arnhem-der-vfl-plan-mit-bialek-954068/artikel#twfeed

    -03 LB Herold on Austrian 1st Winter loan to Altach has interest from LASK and Rapid Wien. Both of these 2 clubs are gonna play Europe next season too.

    On topic of Austrian Europe, this means that 00 GK Fruchtl and 00 W Kuhn will also play another European season next season too.
    https://www.fussballtransfers.com/a9174553904582273622-zwei-interessenten-fuer-bayerns-herold

    -Bremen confirm that 02 LB Dietrich and 02 CF Galjen are both leaving II.

    -hahaha, for some reason every time I make list of 02-03 RB pool, I always forget 02 RB Hofmann of 2BL FCN. Like I'm aware of his 1st team progress but always forget him for some reason....well that's what happens when you don't have any player list and mostly from memory, will always forget one or the other.

    He signing extension and look at bolded aka will breakthrough next season in some form. Challengers at the min end up with handful of caps and maybe few XI at min too. If he makes an impression might end up like 03 LB Brown who brokethrough 1st choice LB at FCN too.

    at this point in time, 02 RB Hofmann, 02 RB Rosenboom and 03 RB/LB/DM Bruckner are our best shot at RBs from 02-03s. Other unknowns is topic of 03 RB Hoppe and 03 RB Kraft.


    And another homegrown remains at the 1st Nuremberg. Jannik Hofmann from the U23 has signed a long-term contract with the club. The 21-year-old right-back has played in all youth teams at FCN since 2008.

    Olaf Rebbe, sporting director of 1. FC Nürnberg: “Jannik has made a name for himself with his performances among the youth and has been training with the pros time and time again over the past few weeks. He was also in the matchday squad three times. For him we envisage the role of challenger at right-back.”

    Hofmann: “Hard work pays off. I am very happy about the trust placed in me. It is an honor for me to be able to continue playing for 1. FC Nürnberg.”

    Ignoring 00-01 CFs.

    so this

    Confirms
    -Schalke in 2BL next season gonna integrate 04 CF Topp......confirmed by Elgert/Schalke brass. He did make his 1BL debut this season too.
    -Mainz in 1BL will continue to integrate 05 CF Weiper......confirmed by everyone at Mainz, LOL.
    -Dortmund in 1BL will continue to integrate 04 CF Moukoko, even extended until 2026
    -Wolfsburg in 1BL will continue to integrate 05 CF Pejcinovic, confirmed by Schafer. He made 1BL/pro debut this season too
    -Hoffenheim in 1BL have confirmed officially that 02 CF Beier is returning to club after successful loan
    -Koln in 1BL/Baumgart have praised 03 CF Schmid (one of top scorers of RL West and made his official 1st team debut this season) and 04 CF Downs (made bench wasn't far off from debut too). Both will also be part of preseason too.
    -H96 in 2BL, continue to talk about full breakthrough/integration of 04 CF Tresoldi
    -02 CF Shuranov and his dumb Israel 1st transfer............

    as of now every other 02-05 CFs=unknown/uncertain. Some due to who knows what next following loans. Others due to loan being a possibility, others due to clubs going up to 1BL etc. Others due to relegation, Hertha for example has too many CF prospects what happens to all of them???? Others have officially made transfer for next season but start in II teams, so its nothing pro.

    Update on one of the Unknowns.
    04 CF Meier who had 24 goals/assists in 24 matches for Magdeburg II who got promoted to 5th division is confirmed officially as goner/free transfer. He was a 2BL Magdeburg 1st team prospect too. I feel iffy about this so rejected 2BL.....for what? To end up in some 1BL RL/II.....

    "Unfortunately, we have to report a big disappointment," said sporting director Otmar Schork at the press conference at the end of the season on Tuesday. "We fought for him to the end," said the 65-year-old. He and assistant coach André Kilian had a conversation with Meier's parents on Monday. But all that was of no use. "Unfortunately, there are also consultants on the road who have other career plans with the players. We have to find out in this case," said Schork dejectedly. And he made no secret of it: "This is an extreme disappointment for us."

    "We think very, very much of Richi Meier," said Schork. That's why the 19-year-old was allowed to audition for the second division squad during the winter training camp and "developed very well within a few days", as Schork praised. The departure was all the more disappointing. Where the 19-year-old is going is not yet known. One thing is clear: the striker is unlikely to leave 1. FC Magdeburg for an offer from the Oberliga – especially not given the big plans that the blue and whites had with him.
