Vitalie Becker: I’ve worked towards this moment for many years

For more than 12 years, Vitalie Becker has been a Royal Blue. Aged eight, he switched from SV Zweckel to the U9s at FC Schalke 04, and the left-footer has since come through the ranks of every youth team at the Knappenschmiede. On Friday (1/8), he finally fulfilled his big dream against Hertha BSC. “I’ve worked towards this moment for many years,” said the 20-year-old, who was named in the starting XI against the Berliners and was able to celebrate his professional debut.

Peter Remmert: The craziest way I’ve ever set up a goal

Friday night’s (1/8) opening game of the new 2. Bundesliga season against Hertha BSC could hardly have gone any better for youngster Peter Remmert. The striker was handed his first start for the club and assisted the opening goal in a 2-1 win. The only thing that was missing for the 20-year-old was a goal for himself at the sold-out VELTINS-Arena – and he actually missed a good chance for his maiden first-team goal just before the break.
