Goalkeeper Ramaj Ponders National Team Considerations in Bundesliga Context
Diant Ramaj Returns to Heidenheim on Loan, Aiming for Bundesliga Breakthrough
Diant Ramaj, the goalkeeper born in Stuttgart to Kosovo-Albanian parents, has returned to 1. FC Heidenheim on loan from Borussia Dortmund, marking a strategic step in his career progression. Ramaj previously played for Heidenheim in his youth, making a professional debut with the club before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt, Ajax Amsterdam, and FC Copenhagen.
Ramaj's focus is on improving his standing at BVB, and he believes that securing the number one goalkeeper spot at the club would strengthen his chances of being selected for the German national team. The move to Heidenheim is intended to provide him with regular match practice and visibility within German football, critical factors for national team consideration.
The atmosphere in the goalkeeper team at 1. FC Heidenheim is "very good" according to Ramaj, who communicates frequently with Kevin Müller, the long-standing goalkeeper at the club. Despite the change in Müller's status, the transfer caused a stir.
In the coming season, Ramaj's goal is to keep Heidenheim in the league. This loan is viewed as crucial for gaining regular match practice and visibility in German football, which Ramaj considers important for his ambitions.
Ramaj's aspirations extend beyond Heidenheim, with his sights set on establishing himself as number one at BVB in the long term. He believes he has proven his level and is confident in his ability to take this path.
Ramaj's recent achievements with FC Copenhagen, where he won a league and cup double while keeping 10 clean sheets in 19 games, were hardly noticed in his home country. This further motivates him to make an impact in the Bundesliga and secure a place in the German national team.
In June, Ramaj made a bold statement, saying, "Dead fish swim with the stream. I have a mouth to say what I think." This attitude, coupled with his determination and proven capabilities as a goalkeeper, makes Ramaj a player to watch in the coming season.
Diant Ramaj intends to leverage his loan at 1. FC Heidenheim to enhance his sports-analysis, focusing on improving his football skills and increasing his visibility within German sports. With regular match practice and the right performance, he aims to secure the number one goalkeeper spot at Borussia Dortmund and earn a place in the German national team.
