Karlsruhes double goalkeeper Hofmann expects with whereabouts - kicker

Six points from two games, a perfect start for the KSC in the new season. Big share of it had power carrier Philipp Hofmann, who was able to achieve his head goals two and three against his favorite opponent Darmstadt. Seven goals in seven games arrive Hofmann against the lilies - he almost landed at the SVD when Dirk Schuster was still employed as head coach.

"Everyone knows how well I feel here"

Instead, the storm tank took to Brentford in the summer of 2015 to England. However, Hofmann was really happy again in Karlsruhe, where he achieved 13 goals in the past season and gave seven assists. Logically so that other clubs also showed interest in the large attacker - among other things, the HSV.

In the coming summer, the contract expects the striker obviously does not want to extend, therefore a transfer could only rinse the KSC now or in winter money into the coffers. But Hofmann does not have real change of exchange (more), as he clarified at "Sky" after the game. "Everyone knows how well I feel here. Although you never know what happens, but I only focus on Karlsruhe and attempts to play a horny year here," says the 28-year-old.

"Playing in front of your own fans was something special again"

And how well he feels in the wild park stadium, Hofmann demonstrated against the lilies impressively. He succeeded in 9,750 spectators. "Compliment to the fans. I had goose bumps when I got out here for warming up because it was so unfamiliar. Playing in front of your own fans was something special again."

His team started optimally in the encounter against the replacement-weakest guests and went - thanks to Hofmann - early in the lead (9th), which also liked the coach. "We have come in neatly, have played patiently and were earned in the lead," says Christian Eichner, who then - as in the previous week in Rostock - could not be completely satisfied: "We start to play circus and the opponent invite. Darmstadt could have done highly deserved the 1: 1. " Through the double strike of Choi (76.) and Hofmann (79th) then the lid was on it and the dream start of the KSC perfect.

How to use the Homologation system

One and a half weeks the KSC now has a break, before it goes to Lotte to the regional designer in the cup on 09 August (18.30 clock). This longer pause could use everyone ahead Hofmann, who first treat themselves for ten minutes before the end with thigh problems and then exselete safety. After all, "Tonight we can be happy," says the double packer.
