Some of you might have read our article, where we focused on the brightest young German talents that are doing the rounds in the Bundesliga. In that article we laid emphasis on the defensively minded players, here, in the second part of that article we focus on the front end of that team.
The players at the front end of the team are;
Moritz Leitner – Leitner is a 20 year midfielder who currently plays for defending Bundesliga champions, Borussia Dortmund. Leitner can play as a deep lying creative midfielder or an attacking midfielder. Leitner made his professional debut at the tender of age of 17 in the second tear of Bundesliga football playing for 1860 Munich. Leitner has been capped at youth levels by both the German and Austrian national teams. Leitner’s strengths lie in his crisp passing ability, tackling and long range shooting. One area where he needs to improve is his aerial ability. Given the number of high profile midfielders that Dortmund posses Leitner could be available rather more easily.
Amin Younes – Amin Younes is a 19 year German footballer of Lebanese descent who plays as an attacking midfielder or as a right winger for his club Borussia Monchengladbach. Dubbed as one of the best talents in the German football, Younes has been consistently been capped by Germany at all youth levels. 2012-13 has been the break through season for the youngster. He has an eye for a pass and can tackle well, however at 19 he is still a bit raw and needs nurturing. Younes recently scored his first Bundesliga goal against Borussia Dortmund.
Emre Can – aged 17, his coach in 2011 at the U - 17 world cup in Mexico described him as the most complete player he had ever seen. Can is a 19 year old left sided attacking player who currently plays for the German giants Bayern Munich’s second eleven. He can play as left wing back and has occasionally played at center back too. Consistently capped by all German underage teams, Can won the prestigious Fritz Walter gold medal in 2011 in the U-17 category. Even though Can has yet to make his Bundesliga debut, it’s only a matter of time before he does so and takes the game by storm.
Tolgay Arslan – One player who has come on leaps and bounds in the season of 2012-13 is the Turkish born German midfielder, Tolgay Arslan, The 22 year old has put in cracking displays for Hamburger SV against some of the top sides in Bundesliga. Even though his natural instinct is to be an attacking midfielder he is happy to do the defensive duties as well. Despite earlier representing Turkish U-19 and 21 sides, Arslan has now decided to represent Germany and has played youth football for Germany. Arslan is a strong runner with the ball, a good tackler, an excellent passer and has a very adaptable game. It’s only a matte of time before we hear more of this young German.
Kevin Volland – Kevin Volland is a 22 year striker who plays for the Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim, whom he joined from 1860 Munich. He too like many others has been capped by Germany at all the youth levels and has won the Bronze Fritz Walter medal in the U-19 category in 2011. The player’s strength lies in his dribbling ability, crossing and playing clever passes. He has one of the highest assists for Hoffenheim this season. There are areas where does need working on but he has already improved a lot due to his determination, versatility and overall ability. Just a bit of polishing and he will be a superstar, which is only a matter of time.
Given the personnel selected the following will be the look of the team, and this team will be capable of beating many or any a team.
These 11 players may not be available at bargain prices. However you can’t argue that they are not value for money.
