(June 20, 2019) – Philadelphia Union today announced that the club has signed forward Andrew Wooten (pronounced: VOO-ten). Formerly of Germany’s SV Sandhausen, Wooten was signed using Targeted Allocation Money. He will be added to the active roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate when the July 9 Secondary Transfer Window opens. The 29-year-old forward joins the Union following a standout 2018-19 season in the 2. Bundesliga, where he scored 17 goals in 31 appearances for Sandhausen, including 13 goals in 18 games to close the campaign. He tied for fourth in the league in overall goal-scoring. “We are delighted to complete this signing and we’d like to officially welcome Andrew to the Union,” said Ernst Tanner, Union Sporting Director. “He is a strong forward who had interest from many teams around the world, so to have him choose Philadelphia as the next stop in his career is a tremendous compliment. We are all looking forward to integrating Andrew as quickly as possible and having him ready to play as soon as he is eligible following the opening of the transfer window.” A German-American, Wooten was born and raised in Germany but also holds American citizenship through his father, who served in the U.S. military. He began his professional career with the fourth-division Wormatia Worms in Germany in 2008, playing for the club for two years. During the 2012 summer, he joined Sandhausen on loan, scoring seven goals in the 2. Bundesliga during his first year with the club. He then joined FSV Frankfurt for a brief loan spell before transferring to Sandhausen permanently before 2014-15. Wooten has been a consistent contributor for the club ever since, scored eight, six and nine goals respectively over the following three seasons. After missing most of 2017-18 with an injury, he broke out last year with his 17-goal campaign. Internationally, Wooten has earned one cap for the United States, appearing as a substitute against Costa Rica on October 13, 2015.

The Boys in Brown have a match-free weekend following the 5-0 win at SV Sandhausen but are still training hard, of course. After Tuesday afternoon's session, defender Jakov Medić sat down with the media for a chat. ...the strong defence with just three goals conceded since the resumption: "We work hard every day and focus on our defending. We all work together off the ball, from the forwards, who are our first line of defence, to the goalkeeper. We're doing really well." ...winter signing Karol Mets: "He's a very experienced player who’s doing an excellent job. He's felt really good ever since he arrived and shows it in every game. With Eric between us, we all communicate very well and help each other. We speak English and German - it's a mix." ...the role played by luck in the winning run: "We've had a bit of luck in some situations, but the results are mainly a product of hard work. Every player knows what to do. We analyse every game really well and are doing a good job." ...his flexibility and finishing qualities, as in Magdeburg: "I played in attack when I was younger and also started a few games up front at Wehen Wiesbaden. I know how I have to move and how defenders move. I also played in midfield at Wehen Wiesbaden, so I can play a few positions. At Magdeburg, I knew I had space and Cello was capable of playing the pass. I was in the right place and I scored, but first and foremost I'm there to defend not to score goals." ...the changes under Fabian Hürzeler: "He's a young coach and the way he looks at football is really good. He has his own opinions on football and the game, be it build-up play or other tactical things, and he's putting them into practice with us. We're doing really well and obviously want to keep it going." Jakov Medić also got the winner when the second round-robin started at Nürnberg, not just in the 2-1 win at Magdeburg. ...the switch to a back three: "That was the coach's decision. If he says it's best for the team, then we give it all we've got. I feel comfortable in a back three. I think it's better with three central players because you have an extra man. In a back four, there are only two of you in the middle, which isn't always easy to defend." ...his footballing future and the interest shown by Bundesliga clubs: "I don't want to focus too much on my future. The here and now and St. Pauli's next game are what's important. I feel really good here and have played every game since my injury. I want to keep going the way I have been and do my best for the club." ...the national team: "There was no contact before the international break. To play for the national team and my country would be very special. It's very hard to get into the Croatian team. They have a lot of really good players and a number of stars. I'm always ready, but it's out of my hands." The current head to head record for the teams are Sandhausen 3 win(s) Sandhausen haven't lost to Wehen Wiesbaden in their last 6 meetings (3W, 3D).

Nicholas Herkimer is known for leading the Tryon County Militia to Fort Stanwix when it was ambushed during the Battle of Oriskany Herkimer continued to lead the troops following a severe injury to the leg during the battle Herkimer died 10 days later following a botched surgery on his leg injury There is movement in Bayern’s coaching ranks from the senior side to the youth teams as well In an unsurprising turn of events, Bayern Munich have confirmed that the U-19 head coach Danny Galm has left the club having mutually agreed to terminate the 37-year-old’s contract Having arrived from TSG Hoffenheim’s academy and been the U-19 head coach for two years now had this to say: “Multiple of our youth coaches have moved on to bigger things in professional football over the years This shows that we are not just successful at developing young players [but coaches as well] We wish Danny all the best and thank him for his tireless work for the past two years.” intensive and intellectually stimulating time in Munich I was able to work with some great people and develop my skills as well as learning what it was like to be part of the ‘Bayern family’ A big thank you goes to my players and coaching team team for open and honest communication Now I look forward to a new challenge in Sandhausen A report from Tobi Altschäffl states that the future new U-19 head coach will be current U-17 head coach Michael Hartmann whose former position will now have to be filled Patrick Kaniuth should arrive from Mainz 05 to coach the U-16s The U-19 Bayern side really struggled under Danny Galm finishing in rather disappointing positions in the table and failing to play well as a team Considering just how talented this team was Paul Wanner and Arijon Ibrahimović in starring roles throughout the team’s performances were extremely disappointing it’s better to have Galm move on and have someone else (Hartmann) try something else Galm also managed to land a big job in Sandhausen There Galm can hopefully prove that his struggles in Munich were just the case of him and the team not clicking rather than an indictment on his coaching ability Manolis Saliakas has contributed to the winning run with some fine performances of late and scored his first goal in the 2-1 defeat of Fürth at the Millerntor last time out the Greek right-back sat down with the media for a chat ...seven wins in a row and scoring against Fürth: "We're obviously all happy things are going so well at the moment I'm so glad to get on the scoresheet as well and I think that shows." ...the chance of setting a new club record of eight successive wins: "We aren't talking about the record We’re prepared for every game we play and obviously want to make it eight wins in a row." ...the reasons for the outstanding second half of the season: "The mentality within the squad is a factor We had to show mental strength to stave off the threat of relegation and that’s the mentality we had when the season started again For me that's the main reason the second half of the season has been so good." ...the risk of getting overconfident: "I don't think the confidence we’re showing can turn into cockiness That could have happened after five wins in a row as well ...the chances of underestimating bottom side Sandhausen: "It can only become a banana skin if we don't listen to the coach and don't do what we're asked to do Sandhausen will do their utmost to take the three points so we have to prepare for the game especially well We're putting all our energy into the preparations in the knowledge that we then go into an international break." Manolis Saliakas celebrates with the fans after the 2-1 home win over Fürth ...the progress he has made since joining the club: "I see that I’m making progress and it makes me happy to see it but I know I'm capable of even more and I want to prove that to myself." ...his quiet nature: "I'm generally a very modest person and quite reserved but I show another side to myself when we win." ...not being picked for the national team: "I'm obviously sad and disappointed it hasn't worked out I was named in the provisional squad but not in the final one I was told the coach decided on two other players because they're a better fit for his plans and might even be better players but I'm not questioning or doubting myself because I know how I'm performing here For me it's another incentive to do better and prove myself I'll give it my best shot because I want to get back into the national team." ...on whether he feels homesick during the long winter: "I feel very much at home here The warmth comes from the people around me that Galm has now been fired from his position This decision came immediately after a 2-2 draw with SC Verl SV Sandhausen sit in 11th position with 16 points after 12 games Bundesliga for the very first time in the club’s history and it managed to stay in the division for an entire decade This perhaps would explain why sporting director Matthias Imhof

products Contact us: [email protected] but Bayern get priority if SC Freiburg decide to sell him Per a new report from kicker, Bayern Munich’s reserve team is interested in bringing back 20-year old Woo-Yeong Jong from SC Freiburg The South Korean striker joined Freiburg last summer on Bayern’s reserve team and spent most of his time playing for Freiburg’s reserves in the 3 Liga before getting loaned back to Bayern in January Bayern are interested in bringing him back Bundesliga side SV Sandhausen is also keen on acquiring Jeong’s services for next season They would like to bring him in on a loan deal so that he can become a regular starter at a 2 face a potential road block from Bayern in the race to sign him there was an agreement attached to the deal that said Bayern would have premium access rights as soon as he was for sale once again Bayern has first access to Jeong if and when he’s up for sale with that right in the initial deal Freiburg sporting director Klemens Hartenbach is hopeful that Bayern and Sandhausen can work out an agreement between the two of them From Hartenbach’s and Freiburg’s perspective they feel loaning him out to Sandhausen would be the most beneficial option for all parties involved because Jeong would be a regular feature in the 2 “If Woo-Yeong [in] 2021 is a second division regular Freiburg and FC Bayern will benefit in the second step.” especially since Bayern are mainly interested in Jeong’s continued development He’d be better off getting experience as a starter in the 2 could also be using this as a selling tactic because they’ve just had a plethora of players from their first and second teams loaned out to other clubs throughout the German leagues Hopefully an agreement is reached between all clubs and Jeong is able

Do you worry about putting that personal success down quickly and at what point did you flip that switch?  I flipped the switch after just one or two days We have many more goals and so the focus is on that.  With what kind of mindset do you go into the next game You probably know yourself that you won't succeed like that again Of course you are watched a bit more and everyone says: Last game he scored four goals My mindset was: There will probably be one or two good chances Against Heidenheim it was now the only game where I didn't have a good or very good chance to score because they just defended well But the chances will come again and then I have to be fully concentrated.  You mentioned the home game against Heidenheim but the reports about you were very positive because you had a big impact on the game - not least because of your pass that started the 1:0 Was this game an example that a striker should not only be measured by his goals?  You might think you can score another goal or two because you have a flow I was really pleased that we played such a good game as a team and that I was able to play my part even without scoring especially because it was also against a direct competitor who also drops sometimes and is very much into the duels Is that an aspect you had to learn during your career?  It's always been in me because I wasn't always a striker Scoring goals came relatively late in my development because I played a lot on the football pitch It was always about playing creatively and being involved in everything Only goal scoring was still in the background Whether an assist or a goal is more beautiful should be a rhetorical question for a striker - but can you get a similar feeling from an assist?  (laughs) A goal is by far the most beautiful moment in football because sometimes you play well for several games but don't score a goal You were really tackled against Heidenheim Do Schmidt and your old companions know you too well The defenders ran everywhere with every opponent That's why there weren't so many spaces for me as a striker the defenders went with me and there was space for Baka I was really happy about that because Heidenheim are hard to break down.  Now the next game is just around the corner What can you expect in Sandhausen?   stay with ourselves and not think about anything else and then use the self-confidence we've already gained to make the difference Who is responsible for this mentality within the team The coach says and emphasises it again and again in every analysis They know how quickly things can go in the other direction in football You can't expect anything from the victories.
