Juniorcup in Sindelfingen : The large gap in the System of the DFB

Meikel nice Weitz is currently perhaps the most important man in the German football. He should promote the next generation of Germans so that from the youth players of today's world Champions of tomorrow. As the athletic Director Weitz, 38 is Nice for the juniors of the German football Association (DFB) up to the U 21, respectively. The Hesse says he's looking for "solutions", the blade to him dramatically, "is not after all, everything bad in German football." But he's looking for "changes", because just "a few gaps in the System are worked out", how nice Weitz puts it. Sometimes he provides some very pragmatic questions, such as these: "Why do other countries so many of the Dribbler, so many ball players?" His answer: "There are countries that start, for example, in the F-youth of the game in the two against two or three against three. And we start with seven against seven. You will see 14 children, the race to the Ball, but only one has the Ball.“

On the weekend, Weitz was Nice of 10,000 spectators visited the Juniorcup in Sindelfingen, Germany, a tournament for U-19 Teams, the Ricken of players such as Mesut Özil, Lars, or in the past year, Herthas Arne Maier has been characterized. There, in the hall, was played two against two, but six against six, but it's nice Weitz came anyway, in order to gain a better picture of the Dribblern in the country. With the German A-youth champion Hertha BSC, who were the defending Champions and the Junior Cup traveled, A youth Vice champion Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart-four of the German top teams at the Start.

The sporting Director of the DFB had praised the Berliner

An outstanding Kicker such as Maier, who was elected last year to the best player of the tournament and his Team to the title, was looking for a nice Weitz this time, but in vain. The best technicians were for Rapid Vienna, lost in the final but somewhat surprisingly 2:3 against Liverpool. It is the first final for 22 years, took place without German participation was, perhaps, only a coincidence, but perhaps also a consequence of what is observed nice Weitz. The new generation of German football, although a formidable system optimization has been achieved, but a lot of creativity was lost, street football mentality.

Which brought Hertha BSC not to Sindelfingen. And Dennis Jastrzembski, 18, belongs to the Bundesliga squad by Pal Dardai, helped the U-19 also. In the preliminary round the Team of coach Michael Hartmann against Rapid Vienna and Bayern Munich lost against the Glasgow Rangers Hertha 3:3 played. The round brought no victory, and so the Berlin found itself after the Play against the FC Liverpool (1:1) and VfB Stuttgart (0:4) in the end, only in the duel for the seventh place. After goals from Tarik Gözüsirin and a twin pack of captain Jessic Ngankam they defeated Atlanta United 3:2 and left the tournament in the vicinity of Stuttgart as the Last.

Hartmann's voice, in spite of the clearly failing to defend his title a mild judgment: "We are completely below our possibilities. Not because we can't keep up, but because we were not able to take advantage of the numerous scoring chances we had in the second, third, fourth game. Against Liverpool you have to be in the intermediate round win. All in All, the performance was okay - up to the game against Stuttgart, in which we had no good attitude.“

The outstanding Talent of Hertha BSC Arne Maier: So young and already so grown-up

praise for the Berlin it was nice to Weitz: "The Transition from youth to first team is working very well there, because the three crucial coach Dardai, Hartmann and Covic – have a very, very good communication with each other. This is a crucial factor in why so many boys come up there.“ And what nice Weitz quite well: "Berlin is the last city, in a little street football mentality is born."
