ElbmachtHSV 52 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Now i think we have enough defensive players .Left side : Dennis Aogo / Marcel Jansen ( if he dosent play offensiv )center : Joris Mathijsen / Heiko Westermann / David Rozehnal Right side : Guy Demel / Dennis Diekmeier ( new from Nuernberg ) and new from FC Portsmouth , Lennard Sowah ... his favourite possition is the left side , but i think he can play all defensiv parts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElbmachtHSV 52 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 does he not also play in Midfield , im sure more often than not he was in DM for Shalke , maybe im confusing him with someone else of courseHis favourite position is the defensiv center .. thats what he plays in the german team . Magath told him that Hoewedes and Metzelder will play there , and he has to change the positions where he just in time is needed . That was the reason for him to go to hamburg . Because we need him for the center . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
