Florian Flick before his winter departure?

1. FC Kaiserslautern has its eye on 24-year-old midfielder Florian Flick! According to BILD information, sports director Thomas Hengen and sports director Enis Hajri are looking for reinforcements for coach Markus beginning's team. Flick, who started the season as vice-captain, has lost his regular place at FCN and is hardly used anymore. The switch to a system with two defensive midfielders made life difficult for him.

The rumors about a move to Kaiserslautern are not new. The traditional club already showed interest in Flick in the summer, who can play both on the six and in central defense. The Mannheim native moved to Valznerweiher in the summer of 2023 for 450,000 euros and, according to transfermarkt.de, has a market value of 1.5 million euros. His contract runs until 2026 and a transfer fee would probably be at least half a million euros.

FCN struggles with corner kick weakness

But it's not just Flick that's a topic of conversation! The FCN is currently struggling with a real problem: the corner kick curse! In the last few games, the team conceded several goals from corners, which led to bitter loss of points. Head coach Miroslav Klose calls for more resistance in aerial duels, but the defense remains vulnerable. Goalkeeper Jan Reicherts, who is number 1 this season, emphasizes that every player can defend their opponent despite their lack of height. There is an important game against the strong home team of Elversberger on Friday (6.30 p.m.) and the Nuremberg team urgently need to improve their defensive stability.
