Coach: Thomas Tuchel
Well I don't know a lot about this coach. He coached the U19 team of
Money spend for transfers: 2.250.000 €
Money earned from transfers: 0 €
Balance: -2.250.000 €
Atmosphere during training camp&test matches:
Good results in test matches and concentrated preparations for Bundesliga start. Only negative aspect is that Trojan and Polanski got injured and that the coach needs to find a way to compensate those missing players at the beginning.
Possible line-ups & tactics:
Most likely:
1. 4-4-2 (4-1-2-1-2); LB,CB,CB,RB,DM,
Aim set by club:
Don't get relegated. Stay in 1.Bundesliga.
Team check:
Goalkeeper: 4/10
Dimo Wache played on this position last season. The 35 year old did not concede a goal in 13 matches last season. But he aged already and Heinz Müller is back.Müller was not able to settle down in Germany before, he was sent to Grenland (
One aged goalkeeper and one who did not show himself yet in Bundesliga.
Defence: 3/10
Defence contains some names that we already read or saw in 1.Bundesliga. But all could not settle down in 1.Bundesliga and were rarely playing.Left back van der Heyden could not stay in
Right back Tim Hoogland came from Schalke were he played 9 matches. In
Centre backs are Niko Bungert, who lacks experience in relegation fight and the experienced leader Nokolce Noveski.
Midfield: 3/10
Feulner left Mainz, but they were able to buy Polanski and Trojan who were hunted by many Bundesliga teams. But both are injured at the moment and will miss which is quite critical.Trojan would have played as left midfield, Polanski would endue the defensive midfield position. For Polanski we will see Karhan who was one of the key players last season and who is experienced a lot.
Florian Heller will play as right midfield. It will be his first Bundesliga minutes.
Ivanschitzt will play the offensive part here.
When the new transfers will be back they have an acceptable midfield on paper. But at the moment it looks like they will head many problems with the current one.
Striker: 4/10
Aristide Bance and Srdejan Baljak were planned to play here, but Baljak got injured when he fall off his bike during a bike tour. He will miss like four weeks so that Bogavac, Borja or Andre Schürle will have to play with Bance. But all three miss Bundesliga experience and the new transfer Hamza Gamal is an unknown quantity too.Additionally Chadli Amri is missing because of an injury.
Total: 3/10
My prognosis:
To be honest I can't understand how a club can fire the coach who helped the club to promote into 1.Bundesliga.
Jörn Andresen would go another way than the club looks for and because of this they kick him. Insider say that the reason was not the fact that they lost in DFB-Cup but also that the club sees Andresen as the reason for all the injuries.
It looks like some players complaint and won at the end. Unbelievable behaviour really and with this team I see them getting relegated this season.
