FC St. Pauli's U23s are starting their season preparation full of enthusiasm!
After a well-deserved break of three weeks, the FC St. Pauli U23 team met again on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 to start preparation for the season. Head coach Benny Moritz Hoose conducted the first training session after an intensive medical check and performance tests carried out on Monday and Tuesday.
In the opening meeting, Hoose made the goals clear. Then, full of enthusiasm and anticipation, the players went to the gym and moved their training to the artificial turf, where they worked on their fitness for more than an hour and a half. The exercises included small rondos and various passing exercises that steadily increased in intensity.
A new squad and strong community
Despite the newly formed squad, which attracts fresh faces, the team showed strong cohesion and team spirit right from the start. Hoose, known for his structured and defensive preferred 4-3-3 formation, praised the team and highlighted the positive energy that was evident in this training session.
With the external newcomers such as Haron Sabah, Rawley St. John, Jannik Westphal and Sisco Ngambia Dzonga, all of whom trained together with the team, the squad is strengthened with fresh impulses. In contrast, Romeo Aigbekaen and Bennet Winter are out injured, while Luca Günther and Jamel Gramberg remain in rehab and are doing runs.
A look at coach development
The importance of a competent coach cannot be underestimated in today's football world. B42 emphasizes that coaches must constantly develop in order to meet the high demands of the amateur and professional sectors. Hoose, who has an average coaching tenure of 1.32 years and a UEFA A license, is no exception.
His mission includes not only conducting training sessions, but also specifically training his players' defensive skills before refining the ball game. The data analyzes that are provided to the coaches with the support of B42 enable individual adjustment of the training plans, which in turn is a significant advantage for all players.
The season has just started and Benny Hoose's team is motivated to make great progress. It remains exciting to see what results FC St. Pauli's U23s will bring in the coming season!
