Kaufmann made a total of 19 appearances in the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal during his time at Union. He only scored one competitive goal, but it was one whose importance was huge. Following 16 games without a win, the right-footer scored the third in Union’s 3-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach, and thus played a decisive role in the turn in the club’s fortunes.

Others might point to Noussair Mazraoui, who is establishing himself as a two-way weapon at outside-back. Some even might look forward and project that Mathys Tel might end up being the best of the lot.

Bénes began his football career at Šamorín and then moved to the youth section of Hungarian club Győri ETO FC via DAC Dunajská Streda in 2011, where he made his professional debut for the first team in December 2014 at the age of 17. In February 2015, Bénes joined MŠK Žilina, where he played eight league games before the end of a season in which they finished second in the table. He established himself as a regular in the 2015/16 season – making 23 appearances and scoring twice – and scored his first professional goal in a 3-0 home win against ŠK Slovan Bratislava on 12 September 2015.

Here are our talking points from the game:

VfB Stuttgart are increasing their presence in US children’s and youth football, visiting Florida for the first time in June with a team of coaches from the VfB Football School.

Görsdorf’s journey at Union began in the summer of 2009, when she moved from the youth team of Tennis Borussia Berlin to the youth section of 1. FC Union Berlin at the age of 13. She made her debut for the women’s team in April 2013, shortly after her 17th birthday. From the 2013/14 season onwards, Görsdorf was a permanent member of the women’s team and was voted Berlin’s 2014 Amateur Player of the Year in her very first season.

In Bayern Munich’s 6-0 win over Schalke 04, however, Müller started and scored the game’s opening goal. Club president Herbert Hainer referred to the 33-year-old as “indispensable”, while Tuchel was not about to disagree with one of his bosses on the matter.

Schütz has worked for TSG since 2006. As a lawyer, he has advised and represented the club and the GmbH in legal matters (including in the so-called “Doping Test Affair” in 2007, the “Ghost Goal” proceedings in 2013 and, most recently, in the Cartel Office proceedings to evaluate the “50+1” rule). As a long-standing member of the Advisory Board, he also has a deep insight into the development of the Fußball-Spielbetriebs GmbH, the strategic and structural further development of which he will primarily oversee in the coming years.

VfB travel to SC Freiburg on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga season between 23 and 25 August. The first home match is against 1. FSV Mainz 05.

This is the first call-up to the Turkish team for the Karlsruhe-born player. She has previously played for the DFB at youth level, making a total of 25 appearances from the U15 to the U19 level.
