He also missed a few to be fair. But he mostly contributes to the game by intercepting balls and being good in the air. He is smart. But I believe there are better physical players for the role Hürzeler created. So it will be interesting to see, if there is a second Hartel next to whomever is...

Spot on. We never had the chance to sign well known and developed players. We scouted in sub divisions, League One, Sweden and other regions like Greece. Players we signed usually fit specific requirements and could be developed into their current roles. Examples: Saliakas, Treu, Smith, Saad...

Yes, that was me. You will spot it, when he is on the sideline, mostly addressing his Wingers and some of the central midfielders to move to the far side and run through, as to creating that space that was also described in the video linked above. I also posted an analysis of the heatmaps from...

As many people have already been watching his press conference, let me respond to some of your thoughts: Grounded guy Yes, absolutely. After his first games as a head coach, he'd usually leave the stadium as the last person. I know as after the games, my mates and I usually stand in front of...

It will be interesting to see, how much of his coaching style and philosophy will be implemented. Especially excited to see if he is changing the formation to a 3-4-3 and implementing similar dynamics on the pitch. I can already see it happen, that Verbruggen is getting additional play time on...

Knoop is a really good coach as I mentioned before. Surprisingly, he is super small but can coach goalies to be super dominant in the box. His training style is very dynamic and he is good at improving the footie skills of the goalkeepers. I'd be super sad, if he leaves. But it's a great...

Only management knows. Our club is known to be very intransparent. We also never reveal the length of player contracts when we sign them or renew any. It's frustrating for a fan, but good for our club. We only heard rumours but those are just the ones, that every sports journalist can guess...

There is no official confirmation from the club, but one media outlet is assuming, that Hürzeler is keen to bring in Knoop our GK coach. But since Stern is staying, and unless you'd like to have 2 GK coaches, I believe there is no requirement to really bring him in. He is one of the best GK...

I lived up in Scotland, so I am happy about any result tonight. Loved it up in Scotland, but equally so, when I lived in Leeds.

Technically you're not wrong. The symphony used is the same, but the lyrics have changed, from: Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles (Germany, Germany, over everything...) - Nazi Lyrics to Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit (Unity, Right, Freedom) - New lyrics as we are a Democracy now.

I honestly believe the clubs have agreed terms, HOWEVER, Bornemann won't sign until we have an agreement on our replacement. And we do not rush. So if I can quote one of your fellow lads: Take your shoes off, sit down and grab a drink :D

Our Goalie Coach Marco Knoop just signed a new contract weeks ago. And our assistant Coach Peter Nemeth a few months ago. It is anticipated by media that both will stay with us. But then again, not much ever spills to local press or media. Our management is extremely intransparent when it...

No worries mate. You're welcome. However, as you may not know, the "über alles" is a german version of the national anthem from Hitler times and considered fascist in Germany. So nobody is singing it and trying to forget it. So a bit of advice, don't :D

Goes to show that our Director of Football is an honorable lad, who shook hands with Fabian to agree he will have a chance to leave and still negotiating after that first offer. I'd be ignoring it.

Allow me to add something here that may also help to tie some lose ends: FABIAN HÜRZELER Pronounced (using english words): "Far" - "Bee" - "An" / "Her" - "Cellar" Former central midfielder playing for Bayerns reserves and youth national team, among other clubs. Started become a playing coach in...
