Hoffenheim professionals warn
Pellegrino Matarazzo has certified that storm talent Maximilian Beier (20) has taken a “very big step in development”. “It’s important that he gets a shot on goal first. He achieves this with his dynamism and his technique. You either have these genes or you don’t. And Maxi has the genes to score goals,” said the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim coach, praising his protégé, who returned from a two-year loan to Hannover 96 in the summer.
Beier scored his fourth goal of the season in Saturday’s 2-0 win against 1. FC Union Berlin and scored in the fourth game in a row. The offensive around the U21 national player and veteran Andrej Kramaric (32) has worked splendidly so far this season and, after a season in a relegation battle – they only managed to stay in the league with a 4-2 win against Union on the last matchday – has given the Kraichgau team the courage to become much more relaxed Season with a European perspective.
Kramaric, Firmino & Co.: Best goalscorers in the history of TSG Hoffenheim
After five matchdays, TSG have twelve points in their account – since promotion in 2008, Hoffenheim have never had a better start to a Bundesliga season. “It’s a very good start to the season. But a season has 34 games, not five. Everyone knows that we started well last season, but then we ran into problems. Nobody wants to experience that again,” warned Kramaric. Grischa Prömel (28) added: “It doesn’t always have to look good, it was the fourth win in a row, we’ll take that with us. We are satisfied so far, but the settlement will be settled at the end. We can’t let ourselves be driven crazy because things are going well now.”
