Mio Backhaus

A week after Martin Moorman's sending-off paved the way for the Bundesliga side to win 3-1 in the first leg of their Conference League play-off at Fir Park, Jake Girdwood-Wrich was dismissed just before the hour mark with the second leg in Europa Park Stadion level at 1-1.

Emmanuel Longelo's equaliser, following a blunder from home goalkeeper Mio Backhaus, cancelled out an early opener from Derry Sherhant.

However, the Steelmen lost two set-piece goals within minutes of the red card, before a late strike from Kazuki Goto sealed a 7-2 aggregate win.

Johansson told Muddle's official ex-account, I think that once again, 11 versus 11, we fight for 60 minutes, and we compete really, really well.

I think that's probably a decent enough strike partnership.

Their big signing was Mio Backhaus.

He is the Noah Atabolu replacement joining Werder Bremen or joining from Werder Bremen I should say for 12 million I do think that is probably still a step down in terms of goalkeeping quality I really like Noah Atabolu I don't think back house is as good but he is a young keeper he is Going to improve after an impressive season for Verda last time around.

They also see Yannick Engelhardt return to German football.

Chucky is an exciting young player from Real Valladolid, not to be confused with the evil Dole.

And Oskar Wojcic from Cracovia, so the Polish people, is an interesting young defender.

They also made Karl Heinz's loan permanent, which is good because of the loss of Mio Backhaus.

My worry is twofold.

Lost Johan Manzambi to Aston Villa.

who scored a few goals in the World Cup as well, scored a few goals in the Europa League and in the Bundesliga last season, one of the brightest midfielder talents in Europe, have brought in Mio Backhaus, the goalkeeper, Yannick Engelhardt, Goto, and they still have that spine of Günther, Günther, Grifo, Höller.

That's Freiburg.

It's more what's relishing from a team structure.

Interestingly, just before I went here, on live, so to speak.

We have Noah Tobullo, who Freiburg wanted to replace because they were expecting him to leave.

So they brought in Mio Backhaus from Bremen.

Tobullo didn't get any offers.
