Plattling starts full of self-confidence with new addition Niedermayer!
Spvgg Plattling started preparing for the new season in the District League West with a lot of enthusiasm on Tuesday evening. The club presented several new signings, including Sebastian Niedermayer, who, at the age of 23 and with a checkered past, is making a new start in football due to knee problems. Niedermayer comes from SV Wacker Burghausen and is primarily motivated by the support of the club, which offers him physiotherapy and osteopathy. A step he believes is necessary to regain his joy in the game. Tobias Eckl and Johannes Wittenzellner, both active coaches, lead the team and emphasize the need to get up to speed quickly in order to be competitive in the new league.
The team has rejuvenated itself through various departures. It is clear that the old forces have left the club, which represents a challenge. Eckl commented on the sub-optimal division in the West relay, conveying and realistic at the same time: “We accept the situation,” he explained and appealed to the team to prepare well in order to get off on the right foot in the new season.
