Golz, Jakob
– Rot-Weiss Essen
Ahead of their home game against Saarbrücken (0-3), Rot-Weiss Essen coach Uwe Koschinat announced a surprise change in goal: Felix Wienand will replace regular keeper Jakob Golz until the end of the season – a sign that the second-best goalkeeper in the 3rd division is on his way out, according to kicker magazine? Not if Essen’s director of professional football, Marcus Steegmann, has his way. He emphasized to the club’s own media that “we are definitely planning to have Jakob Golz in goal next season. There are no discussions, rumors, or hints to the contrary, not even from Golz himself, that he wants to leave.”
