Sporting Director Schlösser lays the groundwork for the upcoming season
In today's local sports news, SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 finds itself in a pivotal position in the relegation battle, facing FC Hürth on Sunday at 3:15 PM in a games-to-come clash. Sporting director Christian Schlösser is strategizing for the following season, extending contracts and strengthening key positions to challenge the league's top three, while also facing departures of key players.
The upcoming match against the struggling Hürth team will be crucial for the Nullneuners, who are eyeing a successful finish to their season. So far, Schlösser has secured extensions for right-back Stefano Fragapane and center-back Matthias Hülsenbusch. Midfielders Claudio Heider, Jonas Rücker, and Joel Kouekem will remain with the team. Goalkeeper Finn Stromberg, Luis Altmayer, and defenders Yadigar Dogan and talent Eray Sariaydin, whose recovery from a torn ACL will be supported by the team, will also continue to wear the Nullneuners' jersey.
Two up-and-coming talents from the U19 team, Marlon Wilken and Ole Tillmann, will now join the squad of coach Kevin Kruth. Wilken, a versatile midfielder, has shown promise both defensively and offensively, while Tillmann will find a role further up the field. Schlösser is also in discussions with Tristan Arndt, Ardit Mimini, and Rexhep Ajdari about extending their contracts.
Regrettably, SV 09 will bid farewell to several established players, such as right-back Milo McCormick and center-back Marvin Steiger, who are leaving for personal reasons. Goalkeeper Yannick Hasenbein will return to FC Wegberg-Beeck, while left-back Nils Lück is moving to SC Fliesteden, currently fighting for promotion to the Landesliga. Aaron Kronenberg is heading to the USA, while the contracts of winger Mo Dahas and goalkeeper coach David Hauser will be mutually terminated.
Coach Kevin Kruth has reinforced the team's sense of responsibility as they prepare for their upcoming battle against Hürth. The opposition, desperate for points to avoid relegation, will pose a significant challenge. Intensity in training will be reduced this week due to the considerable physical demands placed on the players, but the team remains confident in their ability to hold their own on the field.
Several players are unavailable due to injuries. Yadigar Dogan, Ashraaf Yamba, Armando Rexhepaj, and Nils Lück are all out, although A-Junior players Ole Tillmann and Marlon Wilken have been promoted to the squad to gain more senior-level experience. The U19 team, coached by Tobias Felser, is in a prime position to secure direct qualification for the next Mittelrheinliga season, while the U17 has already secured promotion and aims to win the championship in the Bezirksliga. The U16 is fighting for the championship in the U17 special league, and the U15 and U14 teams are battling to maintain their positions in their respective leagues.
