Players to Watch

Benedict Hollerbach (Union Berlin)

Hollerbach is an inside forward. He seeks the most direct route to goal, enters the penalty area as often as possible and generates a high volume of shots and goal-creating actions each game. One of the key strengths in Hollerbach’s game is his flexible positioning and range of off-ball movements.

He is physically robust and can hold the ball independently under intense pressure from opposition players. He has a good vision for better-placed teammates and routinely can create goalscoring opportunities for others with a smart switch of play, or a driven cross into the penalty area.

Ritsu Doan (SC Freiburg)

Doan is one of the best players in Freiburg and is a lethal player in the final third. One of the main key strengths of Doan’s game is his creativity on the ball and the unpredictability he causes for opposition defenders. The Japanese player is also very good at 1v1 duels and is able to beat players with his trickery.

He attempts a lot of dribbles and can make successful attempts at it. He will surely be a threat to Berlin in the upcoming fixture.
