Tim Wiese is the number one – quality and experience can help TSG reach their goal

Tim Wiese already has 135 minutes of playing time under his belt in 2013 after taking part in friendly wins against Sparta Rotterdam (1-0) and SC Heerenveen (3-1) in sunny southern Europe. The team looked notably improved in defence with some solid displays. The six-times-capped German international certainly had his part to play in that and said himself, “That went well. We were stable and stayed organised. That really helps me a lot as a goalkeeper.”

His goalkeeping coach Zsolt Petry added: “Over the last few weeks since his injury, Tim has been meticulous and full of ambition in his preparations for the second half of the season. He knows that his performances will have a big impact on whether the team is successful or not and he deals with that very well. Tim has overcome some difficult situations in the past in his career. That experience, coupled with his desire to succeed, will definitely help the team get back on track.”
