1.
Name: Sebastian Deisler
Current Club: Hertha BSC Berlin
Date of Birth: 05/01/1980
Position: Right-Center Attacking Midfielder
Previous Clubs: Borussia M`Gladbach, FC Lörrach
Comment: Very reliable, good set-piece taker, good at passing. Was key player at Borussia
M`Gladbach. They sold him after their relegation to BSC Berlin where he is now one of the
important players. You can compare him to Man Utd`s David Beckham. At the moment
Sebastian isn`t as good as David but sure he will be. He`s going to have his first cap for
Germany soon. Could be second youngest player ever making his national team debut.
2.
Name: Robert Enke
Current Club: Benfica Lisbon (Por)
Date of Birth: 24/08/1977
Position: Goalkeeper
Previous Clubs: Borussia M`Gladbach, FC Carl Zeiss Jena, SV Jena Pharm
Comment: A typical reserve to regular player career. He came to Gladbach as a
reserve player but in the last season (1998/1999) he had to play for the injured Uwe
Kamps. Good reflexes and handling kept Robert between the posts. He is a regular in the under 21 team.
3.
Name: Stefan Blank
Current Club: Hannover 96
Date of Birth: 10/03/1977
Position: Left Center Defender/Defence Midfielder
Previous Clubs: SG Wattenscheid 09, Schalke 04
Comment: He couldn`t show his talent in the clubs before. In Hannover he soon
became a first team player. He is very good at tackling and passing. This and his
pace qualifies him for the U-21 team where he plays regularly. His consistency
could be better.

Position: Defence All-rounder

Comment: He had only played 15 times for the first team in the last four year he is under contract.
He has to play most of the time with the Werder Bremen Amateuren who play in the Regionalliga.
There he is in the first team. When playing for Werder Bremen he looks well but has no chance yet to get past the other players.

11.
Name: Lars Ricken
Current Club: Borussia Dortmund
Date of Birth: 10/07/1976
Position: AMCR
Previous Clubs: Eintracht Dortmund, TuS Eving-Lindhorst
Comment: He has tremendous potential. A typical key player. At the moment
he isn`t as good as he could be because he has to play as a right midfielder but
he prefers the central role. He started his career at Dotmund as joker. By scoring
impotant/match winning goals, he became soon a first team player. He won two
league titles, one Champions League and World Cup title and played six times for
his country.
12.
Name: Sebastian Kehl
Current Club: Hannover 96
Date of Birth: 13/02/1980
Position: SWD/DMLC
Previous Clubs: Borussia Fulda
Comment: A versatile and very talented player. He had only a few matches in his first
year at Hannover because there had been too many similar players for his position. As players
left he got his chance. Now he is a first team player at Hannover and the U-21.
13.
Name: Enrico Kern
Current Club: Tennis Borussia Berlin
Date of Birth: 12/03/1979
Position: SC
Previous Clubs: Erzgebirge Aue, BSC Wismut Schneeberg
Comment: One of the most talented German strikers. He is fast and agile. He moved
to TeBe Berlin to get the chance to play in a 2.Division team but he played only a few
times. Now that TeBe Berlin weren`t promoted, he will get no chance because they bought
too many experienced strikers. The only thing he can do is to show his talent in the Amateur(B)-team or move to another club.
14.
Name: Alexander Klitzpera
Current Club: Arminia Bielefeld
Date of Birth: 19/10/1977
Position: D/DMC
Previous Clubs: Bayern München, TSV Waldtrudering
Comment: He is not one of the talented players. He equalizes the talent he hasn`t
got with hard work. That`s how he got past a few talented players. He soon became
a first team player at Bielefeld.
15.
Name: Andreas Voss
Current Club: MSV Duisburg
Date of Birth: 27/02/1979
Position: DMC
Previous Clubs: Bayer Leverkusen, 1.FC Köln, Germania Dürwiß, DJK Frisch-Froh Stolberg
Comment: As he had no chance to play in Leverkusen`s first team, he signed at Duisburg for two years on loan.
He is a self-confident player with great potential who can read the match. He has to work on pace and aggression.
16.
Name: Heinz Müller
Current Club: Hannover 96
Date of Birth: 30/05/1978
Position: GK
Previous Clubs: SpVgg Bad Homburg, FSV Frankfurt

during the last season. His problem is that he can`t get passed the brilliant Jörg Sievers.

Current Club: SSV Ulm
Date of Birth: 28/10/1977
Position: AMSLC
Previous Clubs: VfB Friedrichshaven, TSV Meckenbeuren

Name: Patrick Falk
Current Club: SSV Ulm
Date of Birth: 08/02/1980
Position: AMC
Previous Clubs: Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, FSV Viktoria Lieblos
Comment: A very self-confident player who like Andreas Voss got no chance
at Leverkusen. During last season he had only played 6 times for Leverkusen`s
reserve team but scored 31 times while playing from U-15 to U-21. He has the
potential to become a great player.
19.
Name: Benjamin Auer
Current Club: Karlsruher SC
Date of Birth: 11/01/1981
Position: SC
Previous Clubs: 1.FC Kaiserslautern, FSV Offenbach/Pfalz, ASV Landau

club build him up slowly but work hard with him I guess he will get his breakthrough at Karlsruhe this season.

Name: Torsten Frings
Current Club: SV Werder Bremen
Date of Birth: 22/11/1976
Position: AMRSC
Previous Clubs: Alemannia Aachen, Rhenania Alsdorf, Ror-Weiß Alsdorf

successful. Last year he became a real first team player and was one of
the most important players. He played regulary in the U-21 team.
