New goalkeeper for Paderborn: Manuel Riemann comes from VfL Bochum!

The SC Paderborn has announced the commitment of Manuel Riemann from VfL Bochum today. The 36-year-old goalkeeper, who in the past few years, drew attention to both outstanding achievements and through serious mistakes, is to become the new number one in the club's goal. The transfer comes in winter and is therefore rather unusual because such changes usually react to injury -related emergencies. Paderborn's coach Lukas Kwasniok critically commented on the previous goalkeepers and is responsible for the fact that his keeper "cost six to eight points" this season.

Riemann is considered an important piece of the puzzle for the second half of the season, since the SC Paderborn is currently in eighth place in the table and is only three points behind the promotion places. Sports director Benjamin Weber emphasized the football quality and experience that Riemann has. With 98 missions in the Bundesliga and 236 games in the second division, the goalkeeper has an extensive career.

criticism of the previous goalkeepers

Kwasniok and his goalkeepers Pelle Pelle Boevink and Markus Schubert came together, which led to general dissatisfaction. Riemann's arrival could have a decisive influence on the team spirit and the sporting performance. In Bochum, he was able to return under his former trainer after conflicts and a degradation as a result of internal conflicts after an out -of -court settlement was reached. This led to his return to training, where he no longer received any number of games as number three.

Riemann’s time in Bochum was characterized by both strong performance and escapades. His emotional way could have a motivating and demotivating effect. Now he starts a new chapter in his career after almost ten years at Bochum. His last game at Bundesliga level was in May, and with the obligation by Paderborn, he gets the chance to prove himself again.

an association with history

sc Paderborn has a story with polarizing transfers, which are often high expectations and equally high risks. The obligations of ex-coach Stefan Effenberg and the player Max Kruse deserve special mention, whose times were characterized by failures and scandals in the club. Kruse had a short and injury -plagued episode at the SCP, which ended after less than half a year.

The return of Riemann brings a breath of fresh air and tension into the team. Whether he can give the team the necessary impulse will be shown in the second half of the season. SC Paderborn and his fans give great hopes for the new goalkeeper, who wants to cause a sensation in the league again.
