Jahn Regensburg Squad Update

With this post I want to go a bit deeper into Jahn Regensburg Squad, giving you a short view and additional strength my bet.

Regensburg promoted with the lowest budget and was more a big suprise or has ever one think about it before Season 2011/12 started? Biggest key fact was that they work as team and not as soloist or egoist, they had an absolutely phenomenal team spirit.

Regensburg lost some important players from last season, almost all were starters.

DEF Philp 36 matches / 1 goal

DEF Binder 30 matches / 0 goals

MID Alibaz 31 matches / 4 goals

MID Schlauderer 26 matches / 2 goals

STR Schweinsteiger 31 matches / 14 goals

STR Klaus 30 matches / 9 goals

New in the Squad so far

DEF Kotzke from 1860 MunichAmas

MID Haag from Karlsruher SC Amas

MID Müller from FSV Frankfurt Amas

MID Weidlich from RW Erfurt

STR Altinay from Bayern Munich Amas

STR Amacaibou from SpVgg Unterhaching

STR Sembolo from SV Wilhelmhaven

None of them has ever played 2nd Bundesliga, their highest level was 3rd League or Regional League.

These players have already played 2.Bundesliga or higher in his carrer.

Keeper Hofmann played 82x 1.Bundesliga + 80x 2.Bundesliga

DEF Neunaber played 29x 2.Bundesliga for Ingolstadt

MID Dedola played 15x 2.Bundesliga for Ingolstadt

STR Hofmann played 14x 2.Bundesliga for Ingolstadt

All the other players in their squad have never played higher than 3.Bundesliga which is an extreme disadvantage of experience. In addition, the team is very young and have no real leader in his rows so far.

One week before the big opener in Munich by 1860 more and more bad news coming out. Midfielder Oliver Hein got a face injury and is out for 3-4 weeks while Kurz has broken his ankle in trainings camp and missing 8 weeks now. Moreover J.-P. Müller and Tim Erfen are suspended for this match due to their red cards in relegation match against KSC. This means that 4 starters are additional out. With so many changes must be made due to suspended and injured players it is very hard for Coach Corronchano to find the right balance and starting eleven. Some test players are there but nothing special and scary at the moment to be honest.
