Next Schalke talent with a famous cousin on the go: This is Kerim Calhanoglu Schalke 04 is struggling with injury problems. This is the chance for a talent: Kerim Calhanoglu. The 18-year-old is emulating his famous cousin. Gelsenkirchen - FC Schalke 04 and its talents: Hardly any club in Germany produces as many future professionals from its junior division as the S04. However, the royal blues are currently benefiting little from it. But that could change again, because Kerim Calhanoglu (18) is about to make his professional debut for the "Knappen". Name Kerim Calhanoglu Born August 26, 2002 (age 18), Mannheim Current teams FC Schalke 04 U19, German U19 national soccer team FC Schalke 04: The Knappenschmiede continues to produce later professionals No matter whether Manuel Neuer (34), Joel Matip (29), Sead Kolasinac (27), Mesut Özil (32), Leroy Sané (24) or Julian Draxler (27) - everyone raves about the time in the miners' forge at FC Schalke 04, the junior department. Above all, this is also due to U19 coach Norbert Elgert (63), who is considered a grinder of future professionals at the end of his youth. With Ralf Fährmann (32), Malick Thiaw (19), Nassim Boujellab (21), Can Bozdogan (19), Levent Mercan (19) and Ahmed Kutucu (20), the S04 currently has six self-grown professionals in the Bundesliga team. But not everyone gets stakes. U19 coach Norbert Elgert wants to ensure more identification in the squad at Schalke. FC Schalke 04: Kerim Calhanoglu could make his debut against Borussia Mönchengladbach But now the next talent is about to make his professional debut. It is left-back Kerim Calhanoglu. He has only been training with the professionals since Wednesday (November 25th), but could be used directly on Saturday (November 28th), then FC Schalke 04 will play at Borussia Mönchengladbach (live ticker). At the end of September, Kerim Calhanoglu signed a professional contract with S04, although the 18-year-old only switched from TSG Hoffenheim to the Royal Blues in summer 2020. He immediately became captain of the U19s under Norbert Elgert and so far has played over 90 minutes in all the Royal Blues' games in the U19 Bundesliga. Norbert Elgert has developed a special talent plan for FC Schalke 04. His coach even dared to compare it to Sead Kolasinac: "Similar to Sead Kolasinac or recently Weston McKennie and Can Bozdogan, Kerim came to us in the U19 to take the next, perhaps decisive step towards professional football," says Norbert Elgert on the S04 homepage about Kerim Calhanoglu. The 18-year-old could now take the step. FC Schalke 04: Kerim Calhanoglu could compete with Bastian Oczipka The FC Schalke 04 are staffed on the stick, against Gladbach almost an entire team is missing. This also includes left-back Bastian Oczipka (31), who has almost no competition in his position in the S04 and always plays when he is fit. Hamza Mendyl (23) was only allowed to prove himself in the DFB Cup against Schweinfurt - and was replaced by the 31-year-old after a weak 63 minutes. Now Kerim Calhanoglu's chance at S04 could have come. Coach Manuel Baum (41) gave the Schalke fans at least some hope at the press conference before the Gladbach game: "Yes, we have three from the U23 and two from the U19 in training and these are players if they have passion, why shouldn't they play with the pros? " The 18-year-old, who initially gained a foothold in the youth department of TSG Hoffenheim, can play both as a left-back and in the left midfield. "Kerim is a talented boy with a lot of potential and a really good character," says U19 coach Norbert Elgert about the German U19 international. Kerim Calhanoglu (FC Schalke 04): His cousin Hakan plays for AC Milan The captain of the U19 FC Schalke 04 does not reveal so much about himself. Born in Mannheim, he currently has 4,000 followers on Instagram and mostly shows himself with football photos. The footballer gene, as the saying goes, may well run in his blood. Because his cousin Hakan Calhanoglu (26) has already drawn attention to himself in the football world in recent years. The 26-year-old has so far made 111 Bundesliga appearances for Hamburger SV and Bayer Leverkusen, and has currently played for AC Milan since July 2017. Its market value according to Transfermarkt.de: 30 million euros. At the age of 17 Hakan Calhanoglu made his professional debut in the second division in Karlsruhe. He played his first Bundesliga game at the age of 19 on August 11 with and against FC Schalke 04. The club with which his cousin Kerim could now celebrate his premiere in the top German division. With 18 years would be He is even a younger than the 52-time Turkish international. https://www.ruhr24.de/s04/schalke-0...iede-gladbach-s04-gelsenkirchen-90113404.html
what's fascinating about the Calhanoglu triplets is that all 3 seem headed for pro. Cousin 94-Hakan plays for Turkey and currently AC Milan. Bros, 02-Kerim LB already signed pro contract and Schalke and seems close to breakthrough and make 1BL debut. 03-Turan, W/CF looks rated at Hoff and numerous clubs have wanted to poach him too.

99 CF Schuler training with Schalke 1st team and article on 99 CF Pieringer who's training with Freiburg 1st team. If they make 1BL debuts would be massive accomplishments. Also an update on 02 W/CF Kehrer making career progress who looked good for Freiburg U19 along with 01 W Weisshaupt and 01 CF/W Schade who are also 1st team prospects and train with 1st team. Those 3 made a deadly combo upfron last season!!! 02 W Bazdrigiannis is an ex Bayern player who has been dev well at Freiburg too. 02 CB Schmidt and 02 GK Atubulu also play II early this season. But seriously list of 02 AM/W players who have 1st team prospects is like double digits one. Wait and see how they progress but its' like hovering in 15+ mark if you also include 2BL clubs. 02 W Velasco at HSV looks like he's aiming for HSV 1st team breakthrough a quick dribbling player but who's lacking physically but skill set is there and also won award last season for best Hamburg Youth Player of the Year. anyways wouldn't mind if Pieringer ends up as Petersen 2.0. Seize the chances Marvin Pieringer is well on the way to gaining a foothold with the professionals at SC Freiburg. U-23 attacker Marvin Pieringer is currently storming so successfully that he has moved up to the professionals of SC Freiburg. While his teammates can currently only train due to the pandemic, the offensive player of the sports club reserve is about to take the next career step. You have to give them one thing at SC Freiburg: They have the gift of always keeping the emotional level at a manageable level. Neither in the relegation battle nor in the run for the European Cup places: you look in vain for excessive self-confidence or heartbreaking fatalism on the Schwarzwaldstraße. Seen in this way, Marvin Pieringer has settled in well with the Breisgauer in his two years. "I'm just glad that I'm getting this chance right now," says Marvin Pieringer late on Wednesday afternoon. Behind the young striker lies a day with two training units with the professionals. The body is done, Pieringer happy. The SC Freiburg II striker has scored twelve times in eleven regional league games. A month ago he scored four goals against TSV Steinbach-Haiger. No regional league player has used more frequently. 70 minutes in the friendly against Sandhausen The reward: In the past two weeks Pieringer has been training with the professionals. In the test match against Sandhausen he was on the field for 70 minutes. You don't have to be a prophet to predict that Pieringer's Bundesliga debut is imminent. Pieringer could sound more enthusiastic when he talks about it. But the 21-year-old from Wuerttemberg is not an overflowing conversation volcano. The offensive player impresses with his footballing deeds, not with set relay bursts with self-confidence. "He is a hard worker, so I'm particularly happy for him at the moment," says U-23 coach Christian Preusser. Pieringer's performance development resembles the dream of every career planner: After the attacker struggled in his first season, especially in front of goal, he came in better and better last season. Athletic, he made significant gains. Suddenly the long body of the 1.90 man, which was previously so inhibiting, became the trump card. "He uses his physicality very skilfully," says Preusser and adds: "Even with the professionals." And since all good things come in threes, his performance curve is currently pointing steeply upwards. In his third season, Pieringer has developed into one of the candidates for the reserve team who will be the first to be appointed for the first. But what distinguishes the current high-flyer, who got his footballing basics on the way with the former second division club SSV Reutlingen? For one thing, there is the obvious: he scores a lot of goals. "At the moment I feel safe in front of the goal," said the striker soberly. On the other hand, the kicker is characterized by facets for which you have to look a little deeper. "He is now able to hold and pass balls," says his coach. Pieringer not only meets himself, but also prepares. A bit like Nils Petersen, the scorer of the Bundesliga team of the SC, on whom the Reutlinger orientates himself very consciously. Two U-19 players now with the U 23 For coach Preusser, the development of his striker is a model. "This is the path we are striving for," says the 36-year-old soccer teacher. Discover talents early, promote them in the second team, train them tactically and technically, while at the same time giving them a lot of playing time. And then gradually develop towards the Bundesliga. "But without rushing anything. Development at Marvin is not finished yet." While Pieringer is now storming under Bundesliga coach Christian Streich, his colleagues are currently having to forego the competition. They are allowed to train as professional athletes, but the Regionalliga Süd has been inactive for three weeks. Whether it will continue as planned in December is currently in the stars. From the point of view of the SC reserve, the interruption came at an inopportune time. After playing eleven games, the Preusser team is top of the table. The U23 team shines particularly offensively. The team has already scored 34 goals. No other team comes even close to the sports club reserve in this category. But now she is condemned to exercise. "We take it positively," says Preusser and compares the situation with the preparation for the round. "Otherwise you never have that much time during the season for technical and individual things." And so the trainer drives the playful development. Sometimes breaks can also have something positive. In Emilio Kehrer and Alexander Bazdrigiannis, he pulled up two U-19 players. Pieringer's path should become a model for them and the rest of the "young and wild" members of the sports club. https://www.badische-zeitung.de/die-chancen-ergreifen--198148136.html
-01 Ramusovic tested + for covid at Heidenheim. -98 CB Awoudja update at Stuttgart. "Awoudja has done his first test to return", the so-called return-to-activity function test, explained Pellegrino Matarazzo at the obligatory media talk before the game against FC Bayern. With a positive result: "Which means that he could start again with part training next week." In view of the now more than six months break and the severity of the injury (Achilles tendon rupture), it will probably take some time until Awoudja can fully participate or represent a game option again. -Some H96 updates 1-bad news for Maina has his injury proness continues to haunt the W. Injury bad luck for Kenan Kocak: Once again the head coach of Hannover 96 will have to do without two important players in the upcoming game against Holstein Kiel. In addition to Timo Hübers, Linton Maina has now also caught it in training. Before the next second division game against Holstein Kiel, coach Kenan Kocak will have a tough time: In addition to Timo Hübers, which has been threatened for several days, Linton Maina is now also out. The native of Berlin injured himself on the outside ligament in training on Thursday. Kocak confirmed this after the training: "He is in pain." 2-Good news for H96 II allowed to resume training and some talents from U17-U19 also join. Would like to know the full list of U17-U19 so that it would confirm who are seen as most promising Academy prospects aka 1st team prospects. "We are happy that we can slowly start up our training operations again," says Michael Tarnat. "In consultation and with the approval of the Hanover region, our U23s are training completely again." A so-called talent team is formed from U19 and U17, which is also allowed to join again. From these two teams, those players who play in the perspective or junior squad or already play as professional athletes are allowed to resume training. -Furth boss gives update on 98 LB Raum who's having breakout season. Raum's contract expires at the end of the season. How big is the hope of being able to keep the home grown? It's not just been an issue today, but for a year. That is why we are in talks and I have the hope that David will stay with us. This always includes two parties. As a player, it is legitimate to look around the market and want to advance. Preferably with us - that would be the best. https://www.kicker.de/azzouzi-im-de...cht-in-gleichen-toenen-von-uns-790713/artikel
yikes at mass out or potential out. Munich have to do without a number of regular players in the far north. In addition to long-term injuries Malik Tillman, Maxi Welzmüller, Lenny Borges (training) and Can Karatas, regular goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann (elbow problems), Timo Kern (concussion and 5th yellow card) and Nicolas Kühn (thigh problems) are also out. With five goals, Kern is Bayern's top scorer this season. In addition, the use of Dajaku (groin problems) and Jamie Lawrence (nasal bone fracture) are questionable. There is also two good news for the end of the English week: Bright Arrey-Mbi is returning to the squad after his yellow-red suspension and Angelo Stiller is ready for action again. if no Kern, Kuhn and Tillman wonder if Scott starts. Also wonder if Sanyang or someone else from U19 makes squad. Are Sieb/Gunther still out?
A + article on 03 Netz. An algorithm is already predicting: Hertha's Luca Netz will soon be world class The GSN index gives footballers a value between zero and 100. A young Hertha professional is facing a golden future. Dustin Böttger loves beautiful football. When he talks about Hertha's 17-year-old exceptional talent Luca Netz, he really goes into raptures. “He has the capabilities of a world-class defender. A lot has to go wrong that it doesn't end up in the Champions League and the national team. " https://plus.tagesspiegel.de/sport/...uca-netz-wird-bald-weltklasse-sein-74417.html On 01 LB Katterbach, stats wise and potential wise, he looks like one of the better LB prospects in Europe along with Netz. A lot of people think Katterbach can't play to full potential in club like Koln and should eventually leave too. Katterbach has high dribbling rate for LB too, have seen numbers like 74% success rate last season with 31/42. This season with 5 games played with 2 XI at 100% succses with 6/6. One talent a day, Noah Katterbach: character and physique, the German future is here Noah Katterbach is an incredibly complete left-back, capable of jousting even a few meters ahead given his ability to accompany the action and create spaces for the insertions of his teammates. The classic all-out side, able to play without problems in the back four or in the midfield at five, thus covering the entire left lane. A natural left-handed who already has 5 Bundesliga appearances this season at the age of 19 and is captain of the German under-20 selection. Name: Noah Katterbach Date of birth: April 13, 2001 Nationality: German Position: Left Defender Team: Cologne Looks Like: Philip Lahm https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/ser...tere-e-fisico-il-futuro-tedesco-e-qui-1461808

Woah, how on earth this work? This is Michael Lewis's Moneyball on steroid. My best bet, some nerds developed an AI / ML code and sold it to those club scout and rake in shitload of money from aforementioned program, by showing fancy powerpoint. I'm not saying that Netz won't become Lahm but the Moneyball method for predicting future sounds outlandish even in this era
yeah I don't necessarily buy into it, just fun to see these things. Believe with all the tech and vids since they do record all matches. That they likely have programs to project future potential. I'm not really into that prefer one focuses on now and hope players don't get wrecked with injuries. for Netz a lot of people think he's one of more promising LB in Europe even without any programs.
https://www.kicker.de/sandro-wagner...-duemmste-was-du-machen-kannst-790429/artikel "An example from the DFB juniors: A 16-year-old changed the youth academy for a lot of money, but the new coach did not speak to him personally for four months because he supposedly had no time. If I hear something like that and someone was responsible there: Get him out. Seriously: It doesn't work, that's not how we should treat our talents. And we're talking about a top youth club. From what I've seen, this is not an isolated case in the training centers. Individual development must always be a priority in youth."
This is typical AI thingy. Give projection and the disclaimer as well that the creator of the software can't be held accountable with whatever future result. Just like your day to day financial planner but in more sophisticated form. In any case, of course I am happy if Netz could become world class. Just saying...
HSV fans seem certain that Vagnomann will be one of the best right-backs in the world in a few years. It's great that we don't have to worry about the fullback positions anymore. We will have Netz and Vagnomann terrorizing defences for years to come. This will exponentially increase our chances of winning the World Cup 2026. Having top quality full-backs is so important in the modern game. I am just joking obviously. Nothing is ever certain in football. People were predicting great things about Gian-Luca Itter and Passlack and look what happened to them. Promising full-backs usually let us down. Maybe it is a bit easier to predict the career trajectory of promising German midfielders( and maybe wingers) but it is a crapshoot for youth players in the other positions.
Vagnoman is still promising and had too bunch of injury issuses in past. A lot of clubs in Europe have wantde to poach him for years even this Summer but both him and club rejected. I recall he was LB but since can play both is being used at RB now. nothing happened to Passlack and Itter. Like still young players not sure why your writting out anybody. Halstenberg was a non factor until 25. Passlack is currently at Dortmund doing well, it's well documented why his excessive loaning didn't pan out a lot of factors out of his hand but when he had 1 good loan where he was actually XI all season it worked and is back. Itter is still young and Freiburg 2nd LB you think he'll bench their 1st LB who's captain and one of top performers?

In terms of fullback development, Germany is doing an okay job. Right now the NT options are RB) Klostermann, Baku, along with possible coverage by Kehrer and Henrichs. At LB there's Halstenberg, Gosens, Max, Schulz. Maybe in the future you can consider options like: Vagnoman, Passlack, Borges Mittelstädt, Raum, Czyborra, Katterbach, Netz Etc etc For the senior NT, the key is to always have around 5 quality options who can compete for these spots.

Now drum roll to how unimpressive the older age groups are. 97-Teuchert (1BL), Arweiler (Eredivisie), Knoll (Croatian 1st division), lyoha (2BL), Reese (2BL), Wekesser (2BL but now playing LB, LMAO), Huth (3rd Liga), Eckert (still don't know how the ******** a La Liga CF ends up in 3rd Liga, its not his level), Tietz (3rd Liga but not his level there due to relegation), Owusu (2BL) 96-Werner (EPL), Waldschmidt (Portuguese 1st), Seydel (2BL, wrecked by injuries), Platte (2BL, wrecked by injuries), Makridis (2BL), Becker (2BL), Kuhlwetter (2BL) 95-Selke (1BL), Weydandt (2BL), Lohkemper (2BL), Kopke (2BL) 94-Srbeny (2BL), Mamba (2BL), Ducksch (2BL), Holer (1BL), Schneider (2BL), Schimmer (2BL) -you go 90-97 and 1BL CFs per age groups, more 0-2. -It's like German dev from 90-97 just produced career 2BL and under players. Players only suited for more physical game with ton of holes in their games and lacking skillset to be more complete. Although will say that Mamba, Srbeny and Weydandt didn't look out of place in 1BL,in 2BL due to relegation. 1BL clubs wanted Mamba and Weydant but due to high price on Mamba and medical finding out he's injured nothing happened. And Weydant is in 2BL due to loyalty, had expiring contract and instead of leaving for free he extended with club who gave him pro career. -but reality really barely any 90-97 are even Senior NT prospects......barely. Conclusion Anyways, end of day, German cf futue looks bright more than its been for years. Recent turn of events getting so many playing 1st team and tons more who look promising too. Better overall skillset in players. Means a lot when clubs trust teenage CFs. Means things are going better, some past age groups players weren't trusted for pros until like post U19 and 20+ years old. Or players who only get chances due to mass injuries or like end of season useless games. But this is clubs playing or using players during season without injury problems. Even Konigsdorffer jumped to 1st team at Dynamo in 2BL last season when barely 18 and was XI in couple of 2BL matches. Now after 3rd Liga relegation, he starts every match and already one of their top performers. also tons of cfs don't make it for realz until 24-25ish,more snail like process. These players are only 16-22. They don't all need to make it but if thing go well.....than dfb will finally have something called CF depth, lol. We also need to replace the aging 1BL German CFs too.
English U23. 99 GK Richter kept his 1st clean sheet for Burley. Still not sure what he hopes to do in England. 3rd Liga -Morschel assisted Uerdingen's lone goal in 2-1 loss to Verl. While Taz scored in comeback his 2nd of season for Verl. Taz so far has been productive in both 3rd Liga-RL level. 2BL -update on 00 CF/W Awuku. Noah Awuku (rehab after Achilles tendon rupture) -looks like 98 CB Ambrosius is closer to extending with 1st place HSV. https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/...-stephan-ambrosius-spielen-74182142.bild.html -98 CF Amenyido is having best 2BL season of his career as he assited winner after dribbling into box and shoting with teammate scoring tap in winner. -Interesting seeing fans say that Matanovic in 6 min revived entire offensive alone. Saw highlights of his play so close to being hero too. Also still don't get why Lankford even starts for Pauli he's never shown anything in 2BL, played like 50 games that amounted to nothing. He's currently not 2BL nor RL quality should get 3rd Liga loan. Would rather Daschner or even Loubongo instead. -Mai on loan with clean sheet as Darmstadt trash EB 4-0. One good thing about this loan is that he's constantly playing vs physical players which should help him improve his game as 2BL is more physical than 1BL. Pfeiffer another cb with 8 min sub. Curious to see if Arslan will get chances, did well in limited 2BL time last season. Championshp LOL how Janelt became useless and bench player at Bochum in typical 2BL fashion and now excelling in Championship. If he continues wonder if he gets picked up by EPL or whether Brentford gets promotion as club moves to 4th place. scored today his 1st of season in 2-1 derby win. https://streamja.com/grVGJ Vitaly Janelt (22) v QPR88% Pass accuracy 100% Aerial duels won2 Successful tackles2 Interceptions 1 GoalHis first @BrentfordFC goal 🙌 pic.twitter.com/RYBZyRpxsw— Mezzala Football (@MezzalaFtbl) November 27, 2020 Definitely, he is perfect in that role. I can't believe we got such a talent for less than £0.5m, what a great signing.— bfcdt5 (@adward152no) November 27, 2020 Another outstanding bit of business - gonna be very, very good this one ❤️🐝⚽️— AnonymousWest (@geewest1) November 27, 2020 Eredivisie Azhil on loan from Bayer picked up 20 min today in 2-0 win. Currently 300 min in all competiton for his 1st pro season. Can't remember last time Bayer loaned out anyone. But he really needs to be XI. 1BL -LOL I don't like Kohfeldt playing Mbom as WB and some games in midfield choose one..... He's a midfielder, better some game time than none but not huge on it. Kohfeldt is weird he doesn't trust young players in their own positions so plays them elsewhere.Also Mbom needs to relax got subbed out in 1st half because he always picks up yellow cards due to his aggressive. But at same time he's most physical player on team, they do need him. They conceded 3 goals after he was subbed out. Also picked up his 5th yellow so suspended for next match, lol. Agu a LB/RB played his 2nd 1BL game today for 20 min. Woltemade also came on for like 5 min. And of course at Wolfsburg Siersleben continues to decorate bench. -Mainz GK 00 Liesegang currently injured.

Cestic CB makes his 1BL/pro debut for Koln. While based on most lineups, Thielmann who can play all attacking positions is being played at CF vs Dortmund. Kind of a hard game to play CF. Nice to see Passlack in XI now over 400 min for season played. I consider him hitting 1000+ min this season to make it success for a comeback 1BL season. on another note, 01 CF Schade makes his pro bench debut for Freiburg. wonder if Kuntz tries to get Cestic and Thiaw for next U21 cycle. Cestic has played for Serbia but not provisionally capped and back in Feb, it was said dfb is interested in him.
