Many U23 players are in the Bayern squad for the second half of the opening game of the season against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Who can expect a few minutes of action with experts?
Munich – At a press conference on Thursday, Julian Knucklesmann announced his tenth defeat at Bayern. 19-year-old Christopher Scott will have to wait for a third appearance in the 1st Bundesliga, and Borussia Dortmund will not be able to play against Monsenkladbach early in the second half due to a corona infection. Unlike some of his U23 teammates, the U20 international will not sit on the bench at the Alliance Stadium on Friday evening.
A total of eight players from U23 attended the final training session on Thursday at the Säbener Straße, and can count on getting a call or a job. Old Hand Nico Feldon, captain and leader of the Little Bavarians in the regional league, made his debut in the top division of Germany at the age of 35. “It’s very impressive from a coach’s point of view,” says Nagelsman. “You have to really think about it and try players at other levels alternately.” We offer “gap fillers” for the game against the Falls on Friday evening.
FC Bayern vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Oldy Feldon (35) can dream of making his debut in the Bundesliga
Nicholas Feldon (35, Central Defender)
The captain of the U23 is certainly not one of the most upscale players. But the veteran has a lot of experience. He has appeared 40 times in his life for Erzgebirge Aue and SpVgg Unterhaching in the 2nd Bundesliga. In 2019, he elevated the FCP Reserve team to the 3rd Division, where he played 273 times in the jerseys of several clubs. With a tight presence just before the end, a solid defender can become an option to save victory and take time.
Bright Array-MP (18 years old, Defender inside)
In December 2020, an 18-year-old was allowed to sniff professional air under former coach Hansie Flick. In the 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid, the current national coach used him for 61 minutes. This season he is one of the regular players under Martin Demichelis and has been on the ball in 19 games (two goals) in 24 games. By age 16, the left leg had already attracted stars to training camp. “Bright is an animal. You can tell he has one or the other muscle in his body, ”Joshua Kimmich said of the youth in Qatar in early January 2020.
FC Bayern with manpower shortage against Mönchengladbach: Booth with appearance in the DFB Cup for Professionals
Jamie Lawrence (19 years old, federal defender)
The U20 national player has never played with professional players. He played 28 times in the third division last season. And is one of the permanent employees this season. He scored three times for FC Bayern II in 20 games and set another goal for his teammates. Achievement champions hope the 19-year-old can leapfrog the star team. In May, the contract for the two-meter-large company was extended until mid-2024. Born in Munich, he moved from Kirchhmer SC to the Reds in 2017.
Taylor Booth (20 Zahre, Defensive Rounder)
Booth, who is mainly used as a right-handed defender, has already been nominated for the U.S. national team, but is still waiting for his first appearance. When he won the DFB Cup against Bremer SV in the first round, he made his professional debut under Julian Knucklesman. In Regionalliga Bayern he has played 15 times for U23 so far (one goal, five assists). From February to the end of June 2021 SKN had experience borrowing at St. Bolten in Austria.
FC Bayern vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Brusso nephew can celebrate Alliance debut
Lucas Copado (17 years old, center forward)
The U18 national player was born talented. His father was married to former professional Francisco Copado, and his sister was sports director Hassan Salihamidzik. In 2016, Copado moved from SpVgg Unterhaching to FC Bayern’s youth wing. Since that season, the 17-year-old has been chasing goals for U23 in the Regionalica Bayern. His record after half a year in the men’s division: 13 appearances, three wins and four assists.
Nemanja Motica (18 years old, offers)
The young Serbian has more goals and wants to assert himself in Munich: “I can already compete with players like Sane and Koman,” Motica said and wants to hit the regular seats of two wing racers. He has scored 15 goals in 24 games for U23 and is the best goal scorer among 18-year-old Bavarians. He had four wins for his teammates. But apparently the junior national player should be even slower because Martin Demichels has already dismissed his goal allotment. For disciplinary reasons On Motika.
FC Bayern vs. Borussia Monchengladbach: Nagelsman angry over 16-year-old Paul Vanner
Paul Wanner (16 years, all-rounder)
The day before Christmas Eve, Wanner celebrated his 16th birthday. Two weeks later, a dream come true for the U17 International: a place on the professional team. Knucklesman said on Thursday, “I have Paul Wanner in mind as a player and we need to promote that. He’s a great talent, very strong on the ball and incredibly fast. At the age of 15, he still did not qualify to play.
Arizan Ibrahimovic (16 years old, all-rounder)
Ibrahimovic is twelve days older than U19 team player Wanner, but certainly the same dream of his teammate. He is also a U17 national player and has only played in the U19s in the second half of 2021 due to his age. With four wins and seven assists in ten games, he is one of the pillars of the A-Juniors. In 2018 he moved from 1. FC Nürnberg’s youth wing to Isar and is under contract with FCB until 2024. (Jork Pullinger) * tz.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
