Bremerhaven is known to me very well, because I stood with the official already in the last playing time in contact. I will use the chance and give everything, around the sympathies, as I heard to move unbelievable audience in Bremerhaven on my side. “
If one may believe the words of the official, the still open places should be closed for the third goalkeeper, to an other defender and two forwards till the end of June.
