"Of course we know the qualities of Matze exactly, but will tackle the collaboration with a healthy and realistic expectation. Matze can give our defensive stability and with his football skills also in the opening of the player. Together with Matze, we would like to be a team and club Toll the big challenges of the coming season. "

"wanted to do something very special again"

The development of the entire club, the potential of the team and the special kind and wise of exchange with those responsible for the association in the past few weeks - you can find all of this in my home country in today's times as a stroke. This overall package was just perfect. "
