Fürth (dpa / lby) – Greuther Fürth’s coach Alexander Zorniger prefers to work with young football professionals. “It’s always good for our style of play, which has a lot to do with enthusiasm. An overloaded hard drive can be a hindrance,” said the coach of the Franconian second division club to the specialist magazine “Kicker”. “If I tell a 34-year-old that we all want to run to the left in a certain situation, but he has successfully run to the right in said situation for 15 years, it can be difficult to get that onto his hard drive.” Young players are more willing to expand their repertoire.
With an average age of 23.27 years, the game association is currently the youngest team in the 2nd division. “Another advantage of a young squad is their physique. Look at the English week at the end of the first half of the season, when the team showed three strong games within seven days in Braunschweig, against HSV and in Darmstadt,” said Zorniger.
Under the 55-year-old, the cloverleaf recently experienced a high. The Bundesliga relegated team took ten points from four games and fought their way up from last place in the table to tenth place. After the long winter break, the Fürth team will continue with an away game at Holstein Kiel on January 28th.
