Phil Kemper: FSV Frankfurt's new defensive hero against Hessen Kassel!

There's a lot going on in the world of football at FSV Frankfurt. Phil Kemper, 23 years old and recently signed by FC Schalke 04 II, has not only fought for a regular place in the team, but also made a decisive contribution to FSV's defensive performance. Thanks to his skills, the team celebrated a 1-0 win against Hessen Kassel last weekend. This was a landmark game as it meant the first time this season that the FSV defense kept a clean sheet. FNP reports that Kemper is described as a “technically skilled defensive player” and already has experience from the regional league.

His football career began at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where he was trained for eight years. He then played for Borussia Mönchengladbach II, where he played 88 games in three seasons and scored three goals. A torn ligament in his foot, which happened during a trial training session at 1. FC Saarbrücken in the summer of 2024, initially set him back. But Kemper fought back and then played for Schalke 04 II, where he became a regular and played a key role in averting the threat of relegation.

Rise in Frankfurt

After his move to FSV Frankfurt, which was particularly motivated by positive conversations with coach Tim Görner, Kemper quickly found his footing. He comes into the team as competition, while Jan-Erik Eichhorn, who played as a left wing-back, returns after a long rehabilitation period. This increases competition and brings a breath of fresh air into the FSV defense line. Kemper has already impressed throughout the games so far this season.

In the future, Kemper will demonstrate his football skills in the Regionalliga Südwest competition. This league, which was founded in 2012, is not only one of five regional leagues in Germany, but also the fourth highest division in the league system. What remains particularly exciting is that it is organized under the umbrella of RLSW Regionalliga Südwest GmbH, which has held the reins since the 2023/24 season. Wikipedia explains that this reform aims to provide extensive support for the clubs.

See you again and look forward

The next game against Schott Mainz is scheduled for next Saturday, where Kemper wants to demonstrate his skills again. With the positive development in the team and the return of Eichhorn, FSV Frankfurt has an exciting time ahead. Fans can look forward to some heated competition on defense as the team remains on course for a championship.
