Auf geht's, Jungs: German Youth Discussion Thread Vol. V

Dortmund coach Terzic on 06 LB Kabar, 06 CF Brunner, 06 W Herrmann
BVB coach Edin Terzic is full of praise for his three youth protégés, but at the same time raises his index finger: “We know that they are among the best in their year. And not just nationally, but also internationally, so that they of course have every opportunity to become the best in our team. And there is still a long way to go, they still have to invest a lot and learn a lot, but the doors are wide and open to them.”


did you know that prior to double trophies??? LOL.
I doubt it since Dortmund seem to want to pile up foreign 06s......these clubs continue to get exposed.

 

full on 06 CF Moerstedt

Talent will soon be training with the professionals
TSG promotes world champions Moerstedt

TSG coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has had Hoffenheim's homegrown player Max Moerstedt on his radar since before the World Cup tournament. Now the 17-year-old will soon be training with the professionals.

Maximilian Beier is the latest example from a long line of Hoffenheim talents who ultimately made the leap into the professional team. A role model for Max Moerstedt too. The 17-year-old is also currently being trained at TSG, he is also a striker, and he also gained his first impressions of the professional circle early on. Most recently, Moerstedt made a name for himself as an important part of the DFB's U-17 world champion team. This Thursday, head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo announced that the home-grown team could soon be able to make a lasting impression once again.

"It's fantastic for Germany and for all the players who were able to experience such a peak of success, it gives them strength and security for their careers," explained Matarazzo. "I don't like to talk about talent too early, but since he's already in the spotlight, you can say a few sentences about him. We had Max on our radar before the World Cup, and he joined the national team during the first international break a week later "Because we wanted to see him in training with us. He made a really good impression back then and showed a good performance in the friendly against Lucerne."

Matarazzo: "Not all U-17 world champions become professionals"
Most recently, U-17 national coach Christian Wück complained about a lack of trust in Germany's talents and a lack of appreciation for the trainers. “I can only speak for our path,” emphasizes Matarazzo, “but it is also clear: a young talent has a certain potential and an ultimate capacity. It needs to be supported and given regular tips and input. And I assume that not everyone U-17 world champions become professionals. It's not just a question of the professional clubs or the players, there are differences in development. Very often it has something to do with personality. Anyone who remains authentic and thrives on their strengths has that best chance. Recognizing that is important."

The 45-year-old already had the best insight into the substructure during his time in Nuremberg as a U-19 coach and in Hoffenheim as a U-17 coach. “We at TSG have had Max Moerstedt on our radar for a long time,” assures Matarazzo. “I said to Alexander Rosen after just two days of training that he’s really a top talent. I’m looking forward to accompanying him on his path. Him All doors are open here, of course the players have to go the route. U17 is something completely different to the professional business in the Bundesliga. The next step is that he starts with us in winter preparation, he trains with us the entire time, then "Let's keep looking. He can show himself and we will then discuss further measures."

Beier made his Bundesliga debut for TSG as a 17-year-old, and Moerstedt may also appear there in the coming second half of the season. However, he will continue to get his match practice with the Hoffenheim U19 team. Before this season, Hoffenheim had signed a real center forward in Wout Weghorst, and Moerstedt, who is now 1.94 meters tall, also serves this type of player. “He definitely has a figure, he can kick and also has a goal rate, and he is very tidy,” assures Matarazzo.

yes he also means you, LOL, 0 players have brokenthrough 100% under your watch. All these coaches act same think training+debuts mean anything. Downs hasn't touched 1st team field in ages and Finkgrafe played his 1st cap last Friday for first time in awhile, no consistency in integration.

and what comparison? LOL your making shit up. The point wasn't about U17 vs 1BL but about the BS from likes of you and clubs and topic of full integration of players.

his whole retort is to compare U17 and 1BL, LMAO.

and look at that even with U17 WC winner, he still doesn't want Harchaoui anywhere near the 1st team even in training. Which proves Wuck's point. And then will bitch hard if Harchoui and von der Hitz both bail, LMAO.


This is how Baumgart reacts to the Wück criticism
However, Steffen Baumgart, under whom Max Finkgräfe and Damion Downs made their debut in the Bundesliga this season, does not feel addressed by the national coach's criticism. “He doesn’t mean us,” said the FC coach on Tuesday. At the same time, Baumgart expressed a certain lack of understanding about his trainer colleague's statements. “He played two really great tournaments, hats off to him! But as an association coach it is difficult to comment on club coaches. As a club coach, I don’t have to deliver every six months, but every week.”

Baumgart didn't want to be misunderstood and praised Wück's work in the highest tones. “Christian is doing a great job,” said Baumgart, but continued unequivocally: “But I would be very careful with that. For us, every place in the table is important. That was a huge success and also a ray of hope for German football. But the boys still have a long way to go before they can play in the Bundesliga. The comparison is a bit flawed.”

The FC plan with the U17 world champions
With von der Hitz and Harchaoui, FC currently has two world champions in its own ranks. Harchaoui in particular was able to play his way into the limelight on the six, acting as a reliable and strong tackler in the defensive midfield. The Bergheimer was on the field for over 90 minutes in six of the seven World Cup games. However, both Harchaoui and von der Hitz are just playing their first official year in the Cologne A-youth team, so the road to the professionals is still a long one.

“He should develop further, like all the other boys,” said Baumgart, for whom it is not yet an option to immediately integrate the 17-year-old with the professionals after he wins the World Cup. “We're keeping an eye on them and we'll be happy if they continue to develop well at FC.” Max Finkgräfe is currently the best example, having recently worked his way up to the Bundesliga squad with calm and concentrated work. Baumgart continued to say about Harchaoui: “We will develop it step by step and find the best way with the NLZ. If he allows it, you have to say that too.” The last sentence was probably aimed particularly at Justin Diehl.

WORLD CHAMPION BACK AT THE ACADEMY
Winners Osawe plays for RB Leipzig in the U19 and was able to celebrate the world championship title with the German U17 national team last Saturday. On Wednesday he was honored at the Academy on Cottaweg and also described his emotional world.

Osawe: “Feel a lot of gratitude”
"When you win the final, it's unbelievable," said Osawe. The game was particularly ups and downs for him, as he was sent off early with a yellow-red card. "Those were difficult minutes, I suffered mentally." He had to watch the rest of the game in a TV room. “I was allowed into the stands during the penalty shootout.” Since Saturday he has been looking back on what he experienced, but is still processing it. "This victory gives me a lot of self-confidence. I feel grateful. When I see how proud we are, I see that this is the right path."

Baum has an order for Osawe
In addition to managing director Johann Plenge and youth leader Manuel Baum, numerous young players and employees were present when Osawe faced the praises of those in charge. "It's sweet how unpleasant you find it that we celebrate you here," commented Baum, emphasizing that he liked the modesty with which Osawe appeared.

He also had a clear task for the 17-year-old. “Share this with all the young players, talk about the key moments.” The experiences he had when winning the title were “crucial because they help to solve situations better in the future.”

“The players are not the problem”
The World Cup is a balm for the soul, especially for RB, but also for the all-German talents. Recently, the DFB's training, in which Baum himself was involved as a youth coach from 2019 to 2020, has often been criticized. "A lot of people in Germany complain about our young talents. You've shown that it's not the players who are the problem, but the system"; said Baum.

Plenge didn't want to hide the pride at RB that they now have a world champion in their ranks. "It's a special day for RB Leipzig," said the managing director. "You noticed from the applause, it's not just your success, the national team or the youth department. It's the success of the whole club. When we watched and saw the final, we were excited and what a joy there was when the results were announced."

Title also in the RB Leipzig jersey?
Osawe has now become world and European champion in just one year, and he was in the final against France twice. “This not only shows that you have a lot of talent, but also your will,” says Plenge. Leipzig also wants Osawe to become a role model with this victory. And that it serves as an incentive “to perhaps win titles in the RB jersey in the next few years.”

playing RB too, what a ball for preassist 3-2 lead in what could be the winning goal.
https://streamin.me/v/df21a81a

this is the type of things that will give him more game time going forward. As mentioned before the next gen RBs do have potential too.

 

2BL Hertha and their 5 youth in XI beat 2BL HSV on PK Shootout!!!!!

WOW, 05 CB/DM Klemens has balls he went second for Hertha in shootout and scored too. And then 03 GK Ernst who almost saved one prior saves Konigsdorffer's PK which gave Hertha lead and the Reese finished it off.

so now DFB Cup QFs, its good experience to see that 2 youth GKs have reached that far in
02 GK Schreiber (on loan) with 3rd Liga Saarbrucken and 03 GK Ernst with 2BL Hertha

 

02 CF Hartwig who plays in Belgian 2nd club Oostende scored in 3-1 W vs Genk of Belgian 1st. Since comeback from injury this is Hartwig's 2nd goal of season.

 

only watched the ET but seen mention that its been said that 05 CB/DM Klemens as DM ran 16 km today and some mention of him playing like Thiago.

its interesting to see how Klemens is dev, way things are going seems likely will not play CB anymore and will likely transition to DM. Meaning when he bails from Hertha he will likely play DM.

and Ernst continues to get Neuer liken.

 

good week for GKs
-Kicker XI=02-Atubolu (1BL), 03-Urbig (2BL, on loan), 03-Schenk, (3rd Liga, on loan)
-DFB Cup=02-Schreiber (clean sheet knocking out back to back 1BL Euro clubs), 03-Ernst (hero in PK shootout)
-3rd Liga=02-Gebhardt (some German media today say he was best GK in 3rd Liga for November. Also massive W over weekend now moves Jahn further in 1st place, 6 pts ahead of 2nd place and 10 pts ahead of the promotion playoff spot. So as of now he continues to be on track for 2BL promotion), 03-Ostrzinski (1st XI of season=clean sheet and massive praise by Dortmund II coach. Should play again XI this weekend. If Lotka goes on loan in Winter than he's likely the new Dortmund II #1)

this basically covers all the #1s from 1BL-2BL-3rd Liga too, minus the injured 03-Sauter. Which is interesting to see ALL of them performing too.

03-Krumrey is #1 in Austrian 2nd while 04-Backhaus is #1 in Eredivisie are the remaining #1s at a pro level.

Also Interesting to see
-1BL Clean Sheets=#5 Atubolu (reality #4-5 are tied and #1-3 are tied, so Atubolu is ONLY 1 clean sheet behind 1st place)
-2BL Clean Sheets=#1 03-Urbig (2 ahead of 2nd), #10 03-Ernst
-3rd Liga Clean Sheets=#2 02-Gebhardt (only 1 behind #1), #9 02-Schreiber (this guy is catching up to the whole league after only 6 XIs in 3rd Liga, LOL and best rate at 67%)

said it before but reality its very possible that 1BL, 2BL, 3rd Liga will see 3/3 or 2/3 most clean sheets be Youth GKs.

Also
Urbig is on a 5 back to back clean sheets in 2BL while Schreiber is 4 back to back in 3rd Liga+1 Cup so both are 5 back to back clean sheets.

 

damn neither is easy whatsoever.

-on 02 CF Woltemade
“We would like to extend Nick’s contract because we are very satisfied with his development,” explains licensing director Clemens Fritz to the ‘DeichStube’. This was “clearly communicated to the player. We are currently in good communication.”

Woltemade, loaned out to the then third division club SV Elversberg last season, is mostly used as a joker this season. The U21 national player has not yet managed to directly participate in a goal. “Nick has developed greatly in Elversberg and we trust him to play a good role here in the future. “He’s done well in his appearances so far this season,” says Fritz, praising the 1.98 meter long right-footer.

-on Bayern's 4 U17 WC Champs
Four Bayern players were there for the fantastic U17 triumph as our DFB talents celebrated the World Cup title.

President Herbert Hainer (69) celebrated the talents: “What an outstanding performance by the team and coach and of course by our four Bayern boys from campus, of whom we are particularly proud. This gives us hope for the future.”

The big question: Do the four really have a future at Bayern? Will we see them soon with Thomas Tuchel's professionals? BILD does the check.

Max Schmitt (17): The goalkeeper held strong at the World Cup, but from the semi-finals onwards had to make way for Haching keeper Heide, who was ill. Schmitt has often attended professional training and even sat on the bench in the Champions League game against Manchester United. If professional number 3 Daniel Peretz (23) is awarded, he can hope to get a taste of the professionals more often!

Robert Ramsak (17): Was the top joker in the attack at the World Cup. Highly sought after, some top clubs are already after him. Has a chance of auditioning for Tuchel.

Maximilian Hennig (17): Just extended his Bayern contract until 2026. But he is still scheduled to play in the U19, there is a lot of competition among the professionals: In addition to Davies and Guerreiro, talent Frans Krätzig (20) was recently promoted.

Kurt Rüger (17): Mostly a joker at the World Cup, he too should first establish himself with the U19s.

However, Tuchel will certainly not completely ignore the four world champions.

Campus boss Jochen Sauer is already pumping up steam at “t-Online”: “Actually, none of these players are allowed to continue playing in the U19 for very long. Every club must have the courage to promote these boys directly in the men’s area.”

It will be exciting to see if and when we see the world champions in the Bundesliga...
https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/...eistern-eine-tuchel-chance-86351322.bild.html


-Plastic Leipzig coach Marco Rose is next in line at the club who is pro-reviving II. I mean duh, something is missing in every player but they need dev and you coaches don't integrate them so no chance to really improve. Also wrong Bochum are work of reviving II so soon enough could be taken off list.


Marco Rose has spoken out in favor of introducing a U23 team at RB Leipzig. “I don’t think it’s bad,” the Bundesliga club’s 47-year-old coach told the pay-TV channel “Sky”. At the same time, he pointed out possible organizational difficulties in the interview: “If we were to play in the regional league with our U23, for example, then we would face Lokomotive Leipzig, Chemie Leipzig, Rot-Weiß Erfurt, Carl Zeiss Jena. Everyone knows what that means for us, what an effort the police in Leipzig would have to make.”

In addition to RB, VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen, 1. FC Heidenheim, VfL Bochum, Darmstadt 98 and Union Berlin also do not have a professional U23 team in the Bundesliga. “We have to develop solutions,” demanded Rose, with a view to the question of how top talent can be better integrated into the professionals. “There are other countries where the second teams play in the second division. That would devalue our 2nd league again,” said the Leipzig trainer. “I would really like to have Winners Osawe on the pitch with us. But there’s still something missing, as I have to be honest as head coach.”

The 17-year-old Osawe contributed to winning the U17 World Championship title with strong performances. On his 18th birthday on November 29, 2024, his sponsorship contract will be converted into a licensed player contract valid until 2025, reported “Bild”. “We should all be happy about the great success of the German U17s. But the boys now have to make the right decisions for themselves. The pyramid gets thinner towards the top,” warned Rose. “We coaches need food to integrate the boys. You have to develop and overcome resistance.”

Rose cited league rivals SC Freiburg as a role model for exemplary youth work. “The U23 plays in the third league there, the boys enjoy top training and have a coach in the first team who looks after the boys. They play men’s football early and can get used to a higher level,” explained Rose.

I'm really excited about Noel Aseko Nkili's return and his appearance in first team training today. Somehow it feels like it could go both ways with him, it’s very hard to predict. His talent is huge but at the same time he had injury after injury and could never really build up momentum since he joined Bayern. The clubs decision (based on media reports) not to go for a midfielder in winter is not only a huge chance for Aleks Pavlovic but also for Aseko.

2BL HSV Walter
"indication that we can rely on our youth players".

-on 06 AM/W Yalcinkaya
“We celebrated him, he was very happy, he was very touched,” Walter reported on the 17-year-old’s reception – and with a view to the future, he made it clear: “He is a member of our troupe. We want to incorporate it little by little.”

He already trains “constantly” with the professionals, reminded Walter, and then promises Yalcinkaya his professional debut: “I do believe that he will get his chances to play in the near future.” But of course the offensive man still has it The coach also said he had a “very long way” ahead of him.

“He has to keep working hard,” demands Walter. “He doesn’t get anything for free.” Because, as the 48-year-old explained simply: “There’s still a difference whether you become U17 world champion – that’s a great honor and a great achievement – or whether you ultimately become a professional.”

-on 04 RB/LB Kisilowski
Walter particularly credited Kisilowski with a "wonderful" game: "The way he prepared the goal was outstanding," said Walter

Will say Kisilowski hesitated in his duel vs Reese which is why Hertha scored the 3rd, although not just him as Reese's cross went by another player as both trying to close him in. The fight against Reese was tough one and he is seen as one of better 2BL players. Reese in past seasons has embarrassed numerous 1BL players in Cup. I actually think Reese would be in 1BL ages ago if not for his poor finishing, only since last season as he gotten better at finishing. Also interesting fact Dardai wants to make Reese into a Germany NT player.....he needs to be in 1BL and impress there and he's already 26 y/o.

But Kisilowki beat Reese in the 1v1 numerous times too which does highlight potential.

its interesting to see how we are gonna see more 04-05 RBs emerge at this point than 00-03, LOL.

04-Kisilowski (2 caps for 2BL HSV and praise by coach), 04-Morgalla (2 XIs for RB Salzburg and made CL debut), 04-Eitschberger (has 1 1BL XI and currently XI in 3rd Liga, will play 2BL with Hertha next season), 05-Baum (1 cap for 1BL Frankfurt, we could see him with 1st XI in Europe this month too), 05-Walde (bench at 1BL Gladbach)

for 02-03 so far its only 02-Rosenboom (2 caps for 2BL Kiel), 03-Bruckner (1 XI in Austrian 1st)

so far 5 vs 2, LOL.
haha Di Salvo will likely see the 04+Rosenboom as the RB pool for U21. If Rosenboom can breakthrough 2BL Kiel this season could be important as Kiel are 1BL promotion candidates too.

-HSV Youth Looking like

-03=Krahn, Paschke (he's fit but if not for a long term injury he would have brokenthough XI in past), Andresen (injury issues)
-04=Sanne, Seifert, Kisilowski
-05=Megeed, Herrmann, Bornschein, Agyekum, Balde
-06=Yalcinkaya
-07=Stange
-08=Balde

06-onwards is still unfinished but one can form an XI from this too. Imagind Dortmund poached 05 CB/DM Posadas from the club too.

So far Walter has shown himself as Krahn, Kisilowski, Megeed, Yalcinkaya, Stange fanboy. Rest only get training here and there and that's it. Although Seifert recently got close to 1st team.

 

Paris Brunner should be in the squad for tomorrows game but yeah jusr because Moukoko is injured for the rest of the year..

still good to see him jump ahead to 1st team ahead of the Dutch Rijkhoff.

could be chance for him to breakthrough 1st team, hope both him and Moukoko play together in future.

Weiper should be back next month and Moerstedt will also get 1st chances next month.

only leaves what does Wolfsburg do with Pejcinovic. Annoying that lesser players are blocking him, wonder how they lured him at club when no integration ever happens there. Will he be dumped on loan in Winter?

and then question marks on Kastanaras and Downs too.

 

05 M Suso signs pro contract at 2BL FD.

Die Fortuna hat Mittelfeld-Talent Sima #Suso mit einem Profivertrag ausgestattet. ✨✍️

📰 Zur Meldung: https://t.co/kNh2rhSn7Q#f95 | 🔴⚪ pic.twitter.com/3tREDb94xr

— Fortuna Düsseldorf (@f95) December 8, 2023

SIMA SUSO SIGNS PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT
FORTUNA RETENTS MIDFIELD TALENT
Fortuna has given midfield talent Sima Suso a professional contract. The U19 captain, who made his first appearances for the first team in recent weeks, will remain with the red and whites in the future. As usual, the Flinger team does not provide any information about the term of the contract.

After stints at Bayer Leverkusen and Fortuna Cologne, the 18-year-old Suso moved from Dynamo Dresden's youth department to Düsseldorf in the winter of 2022, where he initially played for the U17s. With this he reached the semi-finals of the final round of the B-Junior Bundesliga. Today he is not only captain of the Fortuna U19, but also a seven-time German U19 national player. The good development of Suso, who was born in Bergisch Gladbach, did not go unnoticed by Daniel Thioune and his coaching team. In the recent past, Suso was a regular participant in the training sessions of the professionals. In the second round of the DFB Cup he made his professional debut after coming on as a substitute against SpVgg Unterhaching. A few days later he made his first appearance in the 2nd Bundesliga against 1. FC Nürnberg.

Christian Weber: “With the extension of Sima Suso’s contract, we are consistently continuing on the path we have chosen with young talents from our academy. With his early commitment, Sima made a clear commitment to Fortuna and quickly acclimatized to the professional field. The licensed player contract is now the logical consequence.”

Sima Suso: “I felt very comfortable at Fortuna from the start. I was very well received by both the youth teams and the professionals. My first professional appearances were a dream come true for me. I know that I am still at the beginning of my journey and still have a lot to learn. I’m glad that I have the chance to do that here at Fortuna.”

 

can nobody in Germany dev their own players. 3 Hertha youth attracting 1BL clubs.

Bayern and Leverkusen are interested in Boris Lum. The 16-year-old has a youth contract with subsequent professional contract at Hertha BSC and would therefore cost a substantial fee. Both are also looking at 15-year-old Cassiano Kiala, report @BILD_Sport. https://t.co/6SU0jw422l

Dortmund and Stuttgart are reportedly tracking Hertha BSC's 16-year-old winger Jelani Ndi, who has scored 6 goals and provided 6 assists in 15 games for the club's U-17 team this season. Ndi is tied on a youth contract until 2025, report @BILD_Sport. https://t.co/6SU0jw422l

No youth player should move to Bayern, Dortmund or Leverkusen. The first two just stockpile constantly and Leverkusen never integrate anyone. And why would Stuttgart go after more talents when they already have a ton that they need to do something with?

Make it at Hertha first, and then make the next step.

 

don't know whats more annoying
-stockpilling of players with 0 planning
-stockpilling of players at clubs that barely or don't integrate
-more praising than integration
-training is more important than game time

LOL German footy is a parody.

also Hertha under Papa Dardai integrates left and right, constantly 4-5 youth in XI and more waiting on bench or knocking on door.

you won't get this with any 1BL club.

 

4 05s in XI with Seimen, di Benedetto, Ulrich, Boakye.

Letztes Spiel für die #VfBU21 vor der Winterpause! Um 19 Uhr ist der FSV Frankfurt zu Gast im Robert-Schlienz-Stadion. Das ist die Startelf von Trainer Markus Fiedler.

now we wait for Azevedo, Fritschi, Raimund, maybe Barth-Reinhardt to make for the remaing 05s.

 

-on 06 M Ouedraogo

-on 06 AM Dardai from Bild
Bence Dardai probably arouses even more interest. Gladbach, Ajax, Juventus and AC Milan are next. The 17-year-old has already played professionally, but he has not yet signed a professional contract with Hertha. His funding contract expires in the summer. It's questionable whether you'll be able to keep the offensive player.

1BL
-04 M Tohumcu with back to back XIs for Hoffenheim. He's now played as many XIs in 1BL as last season. Looking like breakthrough season for him.
-05 M Bischof (Hoff, 3 min+6 min in injury time), 03 CB Oermann (Bochum 5 min+6 min injury time) also played too. Bischof feels like might get his full breakthrough next season this season will likely only end up with a few XIs. As for Oermann, that's his 3rd cap since back from injury, makes one wonder if he'll avoid loan in Winter and continue to get 1st integration, still working on 1st XI of season.

2BL
-3 back to back XIs for 02 CB Beifus at KSC. Lets hope he finally has a breakthrough season as a pro footy player. The more CB options the better.

3rd Liga
-06 CF Koch played his 4th cap of season and 2nd longest as 20 min sub
-03 RB Halangk had assist in 2-2 D for Hallescher

Dutch 2nd
-03 CF Schmid (on loan) scored his 4th of season in 2-1 W. His club Roda still Eredivisie promotion contenders. Said this in past but if Roda goes up, he needs to go with them perm. Baumgart is more likely to integrate 04 CF Downs over him.

 

2BL
-04 CF Ansah with his 4th XI in 2BL, scores his 1st ever pro goal!!! Also was 2-1 winner too!!!! Its good as this type of thing will allow him to avoid Winter loan.

1733477528122151154 is not a valid tweet id

-02 W/CF Lemperle (on loan) scored his 4th of season in 1-1 D. No clip but an overview. In any case he needs to hit double digits so that next up is full 1BL breakthrough.

Great finish by Tim Lemperle, but what about that superb movement before ? 1️⃣His initial run that draws the Central defender out of his spot 2️⃣ and then his second run to exploit the depth and space he just created ! Simply what a striker should do when tightly marked #SGFFCM

-04 RB/LB Kisilowski who played 22 min midweek in Cup for HSV. Today played entire 2nd half for HSV in 2-1 L, so his longest usage yet. He drew a red card as Bilbija fouled him and also almost assisted a tier too. Seems to have done well, some HSV fans even saw him as their best player too, this could open door for more, maybe soon 1st XI. LOL as mentioned before, 04-05 RBs making better progress than 02-03. Kisilowski also played ahead of the mediocre French RB Mikelbrencis!!!!

-02 AM/W Scott after impressing as a sub yesterday, now knocking door on 1st XI.
https://www.liga-zwei.de/hannover-96-christopher-scott-empfiehlt-sich/

-sucks as Furth concede in 90+5 and match ends 1-1. 03 GK Urbig (on loan) almost with 6th back to back clean sheets. Oh well still nice to see Furth and Hertha BOTH play 5 youth in XI.

3rd Liga
-02 GK Schreiber (on loan) with 5 back to back clean sheets in 3rd Liga and 6th back to back with Cup
-03 W/CF Hettwer with assist in 1-1 D for Dortmund II. Likely will finally go relevant pro soon enough.
-03 GK Ostrzinski back to back XIs for Dortmund II
-06 CF/W Zeitler played 7 min today for his 2nd pro cap
-looks like 03 CB Gottlicher, 04 CF Okpala, 04 AM/W Burcu, 02 M Roggow, 05 M Marino have all recently established themselves in XI
