View: Roman Weidenfeller, the BVB shape curve points upwards again. What role does Gregor Kobel have?
Roman Weidenfeller: Gregor is a guarantee that BVB is so successful. He was like that last season. He’s got the important balls. He gives the team the stability and security to develop further.
And as a person?
He has also taken another big step as a personality. He is an absolute leader. He is someone who is there when there is a fire. I see him as one of the best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga.
Kobel seems more robust than his predecessor Roman Bürki (2015 to 2022), who suffered a lot in the media.
Gregor has a very good mentality. He also carries this winning gene. He has the absolute will to win. But fans also see that he is an honest worker. He does everything he can every day to make BVB successful. They really appreciate that and support him.
Is Kobel already complete at the age of 26?
He is already advanced for his age, but he certainly still has potential because he is still young as a goalkeeper. In my opinion, the best phase comes around the age of 30. That’s why I think he still has some development potential.
How intensive is the exchange with you?
Kobel and I are in constant contact. I’m not in the locker room every day, but we see each other very often. Gregor likes to benefit from my experience and likes to listen. He constantly wants to learn and know the opinions of others.
How do you see the duel with Yann Sommer in the Nati goal?
I was surprised that Murat Yakin has already publicly announced who will be number 1 at the 2024 European Championship. I wish that as a coach he had left the race for the first goalkeeper open until the tournament. That would have been important to keep the tension going. But apart from that, I think Kobel is already stronger than Sommer.
You played with Yakin for Kaiserslautern from 2000 to 2001.
Yes, I have fond memories of our time together. We are still friends – and I really respect him as a coach. I wish him nothing but the best for the European Championship and look forward to the game against Germany.
