Rotenburger SV dominates in the test match: 7:1 win against Bremerhaven!
A thrilling test match between Rotenburger SV and OSC Bremerhaven took place on Saturday afternoon. The game ended with a clear 7-1 win for the home team. Assistant coach Timo Kanigowski explained that this game came about because his former boss Angelo Pauls is on the Bremerhaven bench. The clash offered the perfect opportunity to spot new talent and further shape the team. The central theme of the game was laid early on: Justin Kuchinke scored the first goal for RSV in the 28th minute.
Three minutes later, Noel Dähne increased the lead and Linus Baselt went one better just before halftime. We went into the break with a comfortable 3-0 lead. However, with six changes made at half-time, there was no dip in the team's performance, highlighting the strength of the squad.
A very special debut
A highlight of the game was the debut of 18-year-old Esteban Mendes, who had recently arrived from Paraguay. Mendes was scouted by Kanigowski during a vacation together with ex-Werder professional Nelson Valdez and had previously taken part in a camp organized by Valdez. He didn't take long and scored a goal in the 47th minute. Bilal Trabelsi (50th), Mohamed Ballo (58th) and Daniel Younis (73rd) also got on the scoresheet, which impressively underlined RSV's dominance.
However, the team conceded a goal in the 66th minute. Elias Klassen took advantage of a short period of weakness for the RSV and scored Bremerhaven's only goal. Despite this small downer, the result shows that Rotenburger SV is on the right track.
The focus on youth
Such games and the integration of young players are particularly important in times when the development of children's football is increasingly becoming the focus. After disappointing performances by the DFB national teams, football in Germany is being reformed. The focus is on more fun, increased ball contact and performance-based challenges for the young talents. Similar reforms are being initiated in other countries. In comparison to Germany, for example, England relies on tournament days instead of a fixed league system up to U18 in order to promote fun and individual development without the pressure of a classic competition.
These approaches show that many nations are becoming increasingly aware of how important fun and personal development are in children's football. The reforms in German football, such as the DFB youth league, are based on international role models in order to best prepare our young athletes for the big challenges.
Therefore, not only does the result of the last game show promising approaches for the future of Rotenburger SV, but also how we can shape the football of tomorrow with fresh talent and a clear focus on development.
