The goalkeeper of SC Freiburg is relied. Since the game against Leipzig, he has led the list of SC goalkeepers with the longest time without a goal.
After the 24th minute in the home game against RB Leipzig, the time had come: Noah Atubolu was able to call himself a record holder in the service of SC Freiburg. The goalkeeper got Richard Golz’s record, which had stayed 510 minutes without conceding in the 2000/2001 Bundesliga season. And Atubolu further expanded the record. At the 0-0 on Saturday evening against Leipzig, the goalkeeper could not be conquered. In the meantime, he comes to 576 minutes without having brought the ball out of the net.
“I have never dealt with records to be honest. That came up after the Bremen game. But my focus was on simply playing good games,” said the goalkeeper after the final whistle in the sports show interview. “Then it was in the head today, but I was able to hide it quite well. I am proud to have a record.” The keeper thanked his teammates and made it clear that he would not have succeeded in this record without his foremen.
His last goal in the Bundesliga concealed Atubolu At the end of January in the 1-2 defeat against FC Bayern. Since then he has kept his box clean and is one of the guarantors that the Freiburgers speak an important word in the fight for Europe.
Golz grants Atubolu the record
Golz, who kept the goal of SC Freiburg between 1998 and 2006, is impressed by Atubolus Development and grants the young goalkeeper the club record. “I could live well with the record,” the ex-goalkeeper had explained in an interview last week.
It is “just a further evidence of the great development of the SC. And I am still a big fan of the club,” continued Golz. The Wahl-Hamburg tries to pay a visit to the Freiburg stadium at least two to three times a season.
Atubolu comes from your own youth
ATUBOLU is an own family of the sports club. He went through the U17 and U19 and then guarded the goal of the second team, who played in the 3rd league at the time. When Stamm keeper Mark Flekken left the club in 2023, Atubolu was promoted to the new number one in Breisgau.
The 22-year-old justified the trust and quickly developed into an established Bundesliga goalkeeper. In the meantime, he is considered a candidate for the DFB team if the golden generation around Manuel Neuer is no longer available.
