With Max Christiansen: Midfield battle ignited at 1860 Munich!

With the signing of Max Christiansen, TSV 1860 Munich has brought a new player into the team who will bring a breath of fresh air to the central midfield. This increases the competition, as nine players are fighting for three coveted places. Coach Patrick Glöckner is challenged because choosing his regular players will be anything but easy. Some of the players are already showing through remarkable performances that they are ready to face the challenges.

In the last training sessions, David Philipp in particular drew attention with an impressive backheel trick and a goal. He obviously knows how to present himself. In addition to him, Philipp Maier, Tunay Deniz, Thore Jacobsen and Samuel Althaus are also doing everything they can to secure a place in the squad in front of the defense. Althaus, a 19-year-old young player, has stood out primarily through his strong performances in training and a certain fearlessness in dealing with the older players.

Max Christiansen: The new midfield engine

Max Christiansen, who moved from Hannover 96 to Grünwalder Straße, brings not only organizational skills but also physical robustness. The 1.85 meter tall Flensburg native has already played under coach Glöckner and is considered very strong in duels. He also has aggressive leadership qualities that are worth their weight in gold in the midfield. His signing fits seamlessly into the list of players who have already shown proven performances under Glöckner, such as Morris Schröter and Jesper Verlaat.

“He is energetic on the pitch and doesn’t lose any duels,” says Glöckner, praising his new player. The coach values ​​Christiansen both athletically and personally, which is important for successful cooperation. Last season, Christiansen played together with Glöckner at Waldhof Mannheim, where they presented themselves as a strong unit.

Look at the competition

The competition is not only tough defensively, but also extends to the offensive midfield. Players like Kevin Volland, Maximilian Wolfram and Soichiro Kozuki are also eager to establish themselves in the squad. Wolfram, who scored an impressive eight goals and five assists in his first season with the Sechz'gers, is a serious contender for a regular place.

But that's not all: the DFB's U-23 rule forces the Lions to integrate at least four talents from the U23 area into the matchday squad. Here 1860 has tied some promising young players, including Emre Erdogan, Miran Qela and Lasse Faßmann, to the club on a long-term basis. This rule brings a breath of fresh air into the team and opens up valuable opportunities for the young talents.

The upcoming season promises to be exciting. Glöckner will be challenged because he not only has to put first-class players on the bench, but also ensure that the team spirit and performance on the pitch are right. The fans can look forward to exciting football and are excited to see who will win in the tough competition.
