Dennis Eckert @ Ingolstadt 2019/20

[ParthianDE]

1 goal in 17 games for a 25 year old in 2B is a TM call up?

Not sure were you get your stats from:

FC Ingolstadt 75 25 19 (games played, goals, assists)
source: transfermarkt

Or is your issues because he doesn't have an Iranian last name?

Can someone please edit the title to: Dennis Eckert Ayensa Over 99% of all articles and web pages refer to him by Eckert Ayensa and many German commentators say only Ayensa. Also, it's been season 21-22.

BTW: He made FIFA 22 team of the week (good company with Manuel Neuer)!

Also, I read many articles (mostly German) and they are all full of praise for him: "outstanding".,"superb" and on and on. Let's hope he keeps this up and that Ingolstadt makes it out of the relegation zone.

I've said this before and many people here were arguing with me, but he needs to be capped for Iran!

Is this really so? If so he should be able to work on that. After all he neither looks weak, nor is he objectively built weak: he's 182 cm and 79 kg, that's basically ideal stats for a footballer and his looks and moves are quite athletic.

The games I have seen him play - his biggest issue has been when he has come against bigger central defenders. For an example, The play off game when they didn’t go up - in the first leg he had little impact on the game as the defenders just used their strength to get him out of the game. The manager benched him for the second game because of this and he came on as a sub towards the end of the game and used his pace to good effect.

His one downfall is his physicality , he can be bullied off the ball too easy.

Even better, this is 2. Bundesliga.

Yes and Nürnberg is a club that forever alternates between lower table 1. Bundesliga and top of the table in the 2nd Bundesliga.

So his MOM performance against Nürnberg demonstrates his quality.

Underrated on this board. 3. Bundesliga is no joke (just look at the teams) - there's a reason even the 3rd Bundesliga gets English commentary live and is scouted all over Europe.

:O :O 23 goals out of 54 games?? how come he hasn't been invited to team melli?

He has struggled this season in a higher league, no goals or assists yet, albeit at a struggling club. He couldn’t quite make it at Celta Vigo and was given opportunities too. He has also been scouted by better German teams than Ingolstadt but came down with Covid (had it quite bad) and injuries which scuppered any chance of a move.

He plays in a position in which we have a lot of talent , he likes to come infield off the wing and is pacy and has a good eye for goal, good passing skills etc. His one downfall is his physicality , he can be bullied off the ball too easy.

Much respect to him though and he is very proud of his heritage .
