@RedWhippet, very nice article from DW, thanks.
I also read this one as well. It may shed some light, with why not enough youngsters not coming up quickly enough in the footballing ranks, the Corona pandemic has also had an impact as well.

Where’s Draxler? And what about Neuhaus?
Draxler is on loan at Benfica. And he is an attacking player.
Neuhaus and probably Mo Dahoud are the two CM coming to my mind behind Kimmich and Goretzka.
Neuer broke his leg while skiing and his season is over. 
I’m flabbergasted that clubs allow players to do dangerous sports.
I know for sure that players in the MLB have in their contracts that sports like skiing are prohibited.
He’ll be 37 in March, contact until 2024. Hope we see him in 23/24, even if it’s his last season.
Wasn’t great in some last matches, but he’s quite comfortably the best goalkeeper I’ve seen. Not even a difficult discussion.
I didn’t know he had connections with us and that would be us all over.
Gvardiol gave a TV interview in Croatia yesterday.
Asked if we were to ask a 10-year old Gvardiol, which club would he play for, he said:
“That would definitely be Liverpool. Since I was little, I watched a lot of Liverpool matches with my dad, and we covered every season in detail. It is a club that has remained in my heart.”

Anyone remembers Sebastian Deisler? One of the best young players in the early 2000s.
Retired after 5 knee surgeries and mental health problems at the age of 27 in 2007.
Here are some pictures of him from 2016.

Yeah, really liked him as a talent/player back then.

Best league in the world.
Well Klopp came from there 
It’s not even 50 mins, Schalke trailing by four goals 
1:0 to Union at HT in the Berlin derby. Cracking header for the goal.
Just wondering if and when Hertha are moving out of Olympiastadion? My son went there on a school trip a few years back and it’s somewhere on my wishlist to see a match there.
Have you been to other stadiums in Germany?
Westfalenstadion. I am also promised a trip to Bremen which was cancelled 3 years ago when Covid kicked off.
Which do you recommend? The nearest clubs to us are Dortmund and Bremen in 1.Bundesliga. Meppen is the nearest club but they are 3.Liga at the moment.
Interesting. Why? I’d always had the impression it was considered a shit place for football - the old issue of an Athletics stadium not being good for creating an atmosphere.
