Bundesliga - Heidenheim gets going: "A bit of a new beginning"

Trainer Frank Schmidt of 1. FC Heidenheim is not ruling out new signings in the defensive area until the start of the new season in the Football-Bundesliga. "We still have a need, when it comes to the back line," said the coach, who followed the start of preparation on crutches due to an operation on his ankle. "We were fortunate last season that we had few injured or suspended players in the four-man defense. It could be that we still need to make some adjustments."

Eight new signings, including Christopher Negele promoted from the club's own youth, have been made so far. There was a major overhaul in the offense, as Tim Kleindienst (Borussia Moenchengladbach) and Eren Dinkci (SC Freiburg) left the club. In addition, Tim Koether and Seedy Jarju were released by the club to look for new employers.

"Everyone must know: With the changes in the squad, it's a whole new beginning," said Schmidt. "That will be a huge challenge, the Bundesliga demands everything from us. It's all about the class maintenance, so it's important for us to form a team now."
