This versatility is of great importance to the team as it prepares for the upcoming season. It seems as if VfL Bochum have shown a good hand - because Rösch can have a decisive influence on the game with his commitment and dynamism.

The market in view
What does this mean for VfL Bochum? Given the total of 69.2 million euros spent on new players, it is clear that the competition in the league is not sleeping.
