Fürther goalkeeper Noll shines with parades: does he create the turning point?

FC Greuther Fürth shows in the 2nd Bundesliga that the start of the season can be promising. With a convincing 4-0 victory against SSV Jahn Regensburg, the Fürther set a strong sign. The goalkeeper Nahuel Noll, only 21 years old, played a key role and secured the first zero victory of his career in his fourth game. In the first half, he held seven shots from the Regensburg attacker and retained his team from a deficit.

his impressive performance came at a perfect time, because a week earlier, coach Alexander Zorniger Noll had heavily criticized. A serious mistake cost Fürth in the match against Paderborn a possible victory, which made angry. "I haven't been to a single player for a long time," he said at Sky. Noll had proven itself in the past and was trained in the youth of 1860 Munich before moving to Hoffenheim in 2017.

noll arises the challenge

After the public complaint from the coach, Noll showed that he not only listens to the criticism, but can also convert into positive energy. Zorniger apologized in a video with the goalkeeper and the team. "It was important to preserve the unit," said the trainer. And Noll showed in Regensburg that he can shine not only when holding shots, but also when building the game. "Above average long and above -average accurate" he was in the game structure, praised in an angry, and exactly this quality brought Noll to the pitch.

The first goal for Greuther Fürth fell in the third minute. Dennis Srbeny took a great chance unused, but a corner that captain Branimir Hrgota flanked on Marco Meyerhöfer caused early lead. The other goals were scored by the newcomers Noel Futkeu and from well -known faces such as Hrgota and Julian Green. Fürth jumped to a strong third place in the table with a total of eight points from four games, and none of the last four games have been lost.

new additions have an effect

The obligations of players such as Noll and Futkeu quickly have an effect. Noll turned out to be an important replacement for the previously injured Jonas Urbig. Futkeu, who came from SC Freiburg, seems to compensate for the lack of Armindo Sieb, who moved to the Bundesliga in Mainz. "We strengthened ourselves well," said Zorniger, "and the boys understand each other on the pitch." In addition, there is the special praise for the newcomer Sacha Bansé, who caused stability in midfield in the second half.

The sports manager Rachid Azzouzi and coach of angry work together closely together to put a powerful team for the 2nd Bundesliga. Despite the departures of top performers, they have formed a team that can exist in the league. From the point of view of many observers, the question arises: is more possible for Greuther Fürth this season? While the successes against promoters such as Münster and Regensburg are encouraging, the upcoming games against the league top clubs have to show how the team can assert themselves.
