Returnees: Florian Kohfeldt’s list of players available is getting longer and longer. Thore Jacobsen has also been back with the team this week. “Thore isn’t in contention for the squad, but it’s good to see him back. Even if it doesn’t appear so, his return is important for us to raise the quality in training,” said Kohfeldt yesterday. Jacobsen’s future is still up in the air at the moment: “We’re in talks with other teams and I’m optimistic that we’ll find the best solution for everyone, so that Thore can pick up some high-quality game experience,” added Frank Baumann.
A little trip: Three days, ten games. Frank Baumann has been watching a few teams at the Asian Cup. “Our scouting focus is in Germany and Europe. As we can’t cover the whole world with our resources, we look to cover as many games as possible in a short space of time. The trip had nothing to do with our current situation. I got a sense of the general level and individual players,” said Baumann.
