Holstein Kiel gets goalkeeper talent Krumrey from Salzburg to the team!

A new, fresh wind is blowing at Holstein Kiel: The club has signed 21-year-old goalkeeper Jonas Krumrey from FC Red Bull Salzburg. Krumrey, who was trained in the Salzburg Academy and is over an impressive 1.93 meters tall, has already been integrated into the Kiel training camp in Minneapolis, USA. As n-tv has reported a contract until June 30, 2027 signed.

Krumrey is no stranger to the soccer field. After he was borrowed to the partner club FC Liefering in 2020, he demonstrated his skills in 57 games. Last season he was active on loan at the Danish first division club Lyngby Boldklub and also took part in the club World Cup in the USA. Kiel's managing director of Sport, Olaf Rebbe, also recognized which talent has been in him, and sees Krumrey as a great talent with a lot of development potential. Krumrey is looking forward to the new challenge at Holstein Kiel and would like to justify the trust that the club puts in it, as well as Holstein Kiel known.

an intensive training camp

The team is located in the USA until July 9, where it is preparing for the coming season that starts at the beginning of August. The return date to Kiel is scheduled for July 10th. Krumrey has already arrived and has gathered at the team hotel. With this obligation, the Kiel goalkeeper group is significantly reinforced, which could ensure a fresh wind in the squad.

challenges in the youth area

Successful talents like Krumrey are important for development in German football. A current topic is the influence of the so-called relative-aging effect, which can cause younger young players to be overlooked. This effect shows that players who are born at the beginning of the year have physical advantages in the selection and thus often disadvantaged talented footballers in December. According to a study, ignoring this effect could increase the market values ​​of German club young players by 10 to 20 million euros per year, so reports Süddeutsche Zeitung .

In order to meet these challenges, the German Football Association (DFB) has introduced a new training and play philosophy in children's football, which, among other things, should promote a higher number of ball contacts through small field games. Hannes Wolf, DFB director for young people, training and development, also demands a daily hour of sport in schools. At least for Krumrey, this could mean that many talents will still be evident in the coming years, and Holstein Kiel may have proven a good hand with his investment in the future.
