FC Koln’s Sascha Riether hoping to make his mark at the new club – Bundesliga news
Newly recruited FC Koln defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sascha-Riether-c32598, has expressed delight after completing his move to RheinEnergieStadion during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Riether was pleased with the attitude of his new teammates and officials, who were all happy with Sascha’s arrival at the club. The defender appeared in a pre-season friendly against FC Thun on Saturday and got full support from his colleagues both on and
off the field. The player is already feeling at home and was eagerly waiting for the start of the new season.
Riether was enthusiastic about his success at the club and desperately wanted to justify his transfer from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881. He had a successful spell with Die Wolfe where he managed to win the title in just his second season with the club under Felix Magath.
The 28-year-old was highly praised at Volkswagen Arena but decided to earn himself a new challenge after his contract expired at the conclusion of the last campaign.
Commenting upon his new mates, Riether enthused, "The lads have made me feel really welcome and it's good fun training here. I'd already spoken with the coach and Herr [Volker] Finke. They're pleased to have me here and I'm looking forward to playing for
1. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Köln-c38161."
The Former Wolfsburg man confirmed about the interest from other clubs in acquiring his services but he opted to go with Koln mainly because of sporting director, Volker Finke.
Finke was the one who helped Riether shake hands with SC Freiburg’s in 2002 and two have been in constant contact ever since. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 director made sure the player landed at Koln this time as well.
"We have a good relationship and I never lost contact with him. We're hoping to start something here and I'm proud to be a part of it. I'm going to give my all to ensure FC continue to rise." The player concluded by saying.
The German international had a four-year spell at Wolfsburg where he managed 116 Bundesliga games to go along with his six goals. He made his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 debut in 2010 and has two international caps to his name until now.
