The FCA Unterbruck is not only leader of the table in the football district class, it is also one of the clubs for which the involvement of the youngsters is not just an empty phrase.


The FCA Unterbruck is not only leader of the table in the football district class, it is also one of the clubs for which the involvement of the youngsters is not just an empty phrase.

Unterbruck - "When I pick up Leon to go to training - we only live a few doors down - then he always grins from ear to ear," says Matteo Kern, who together with his cousin Leon and his old man Friend Andreas Pallauf only joined the men's division at FCA Unterbruck this season, but is already one of the key permanent staff of the league leaders in the regional soccer class.

The 18-year-olds have always played in the last eight games, Matteo Kern and Andreas Pallauf have already scored a total of eight goals.

“It's just a club philosophy for us.

We are fortunate that every year we have a lot of youngsters moving up to the top.

The fact that the three are already so important is particularly impressive, ”says Alfons Deutinger, FCA coach.

Get a taste of the A-Class

After Deutinger had his offspring briefly sniffed at men's football in the second team in the A-class, the three of them pushed into the first and there contributed to the almost unbelievable winning streak of the newcomer. Each of the boys convinced in one part of the team: Leon Kern is a trained central defender and now stabilizes the leaders in the full-back position. “It was a change for me at the beginning. But with commands from the experienced players around me, you learn new things quickly. ”One advantage of the retraining: On the outside, Kern can also use his greatest strength - namely his speed - offensively.

Leon's cousin Matteo, on the other hand, is a bustling six who quickly took on a lot of responsibility: "I've always been loud on the pitch and of course I try to get involved directly," says Kern.

Pallauf: Already marked 1-0 four times

In the storm, Andreas Pallauf, who is active against the ball and callous with the ball, is up to mischief. Deutinger praises: “It is very important to us. You can see that from the fact that he has already scored the important 1-0 for us four times. "In general, Deutinger is very satisfied with his youngest generation:" They are there in every training session, want to learn and constantly improve. That is the most important thing. ”Even if all three report that they first had to get used to the new level. “Everything goes much faster. You don't have the space you are used to when you were young. But you can learn a lot from the others very quickly, ”says Matteo. “What helps is that the three of us have been playing together since we were four years old. There are processes that we have been doing and working like this for years. "

Integration made easy

The three young players who have come of age know each other inside out, and other age groups from the youth field are also known: “You know what makes the others tick - on and off the pitch,” says Pallauf and Matteo Kern says: “I still have it never experienced that you can integrate yourself into a group so easily. ”According to the three of them, the recipe for establishing yourself as a young player is not complicated:“ You should be open to tips and not get angry if someone sneaks at you ” says Leon Kern.

His cousin sees motivation as the most important factor: “Enthusiasm and passion - that's all you need at first.

Then you get your bets. "
