The two remaining games for Koln Athletics are against Dresden 09 and FC Rostock.

The next Koln Athletics game against Dresden 09 is scheduled at 5:00 p.m. Staff from domestic TV stations rushed to the small town of Dresden in eastern Germany without stopping.

Raynaldi lived up to expectations and continued to start, but his luck in this game was not so good. Facing three or four chances, Raynaldi only took advantage of one of them. The game of Dresden 09 is very loud and destructive. Raynaldi could only rely on his flexibility and good ballless movement to win a lot of chances.

Dresden 09 is sixth in the league, and still has little hope of promotion. They are also desperate for their lives in this game. This kind of collision-filled hard game made the Athletic Koln extremely uncomfortable. Raynaldi was the focus of the opponent's guard target and was repeatedly dropped.

Raynaldi's only goal came not from a shot but a header from a corner, this was Raynaldi's second header.

In the 47th minute of the game Raynaldi was pushed by goalkeeper Dresden 09 who gave a corner for Koln Athletics.

Buhari who took a corner saw Raynaldi who was at the far post unguarded, forcefully sending the ball to the far post with his right foot.

Inside the box, Robert almost caught all the attention of the opposing defenders. He jumped steadily as if preparing to take the ball into the net. Robert's movement directly attracted the attention of two Dresden centre-backs who followed him directly to compete for the ball.

But the ball bounced over their heads and headed to the far post. An unguarded Raynaldi easily gore the ball into the Dresden 09 goal. Changing the provisional score to 0-1 for a temporary lead Koln Athletics.

After that the match went pretty hard and chaotic, the referee mercilessly issued 11 yellow cards for both teams. 4 Yellow cards each for the Athletic Koln and 7 yellow cards for Dresden 09.

In this match, Koln Athletics finally beat Dresden 09, 0-2. Buhari scored in the 87th minute of the game after taking advantage of Raynaldi's cross. Thomas Sobek was very satisfied with the result. This was the victory he expected, with this the championship would draw ever closer.

Although Raynaldi's performance was not as great as before, he still scored, and the domestic media again praised him. Because with this one goal, Raynaldi still firmly leads the group of top scorers 2.Bundesliga with 28 goals in 17 games.

In other games, 1.Mainz managed to beat Hanau SV with a score of 5-0, Leipzig Sport who followed in third place also continues to follow with the same points with 1.Mainz, after defeating Desseu United by a score of 3-1.

Meanwhile, Armina Oldenburg actually lost the chain after being held to a draw by Chemnitz with a score of 5-5, in this match striker Chemnitz, in the match, Becker made a staggering 5 goals and shifted Nkufu to third-placed top scorer with 26 goals. Nkufu who is in a bad condition, has only scored 3 goals in the last 8 games and scored a total of 25 goals this season.

With this result, Koln Athletics only needs to obtain a draw to win the 2nd championship.Bundesliga for the first time. As a newly restructured youth team Koln Athletics will play in the Bundesliga next season for the first time.

“Ray, since you asked for a trial for him, we will take a good look at him and judge with objectivity.” Thomas Sobek is still in doubt about Hashim's ability, as defenders will need more experience.

“Sobek, I've seen Hasyim's video game and I think he's a talented defender. Especially his ability to read the direction of the attack and steal the ball is very good. I know the Asian youth team's game can't convince you, but why not just look at it quietly? Isn't Ray also without experience playing in Europe before?” Abel Silva said, as a Scout who is quite famous in Germany, he prefers to see facts rather than distinguish people by origin and experience.

Thomas Sobek looked towards Abel Silva then fell silent, he really could not answer this time. But in his heart he prefers more experienced and stable players in the team. Youth like Raynaldi are very rare, otherwise, in football there will be no mention of the golden age of footballers at the age of 25-32 years.

“Hasyim, you can play without burden, do not be nervous, no matter where you play, all you need to do is play your best performance. For the result, we can only leave it to their assessment.” Raynaldi encouraged Hashim.

“Iya, Ray, thanks.” Hashim went according to the coach's arrangement.

The day before, Hasyim had done physical and medical tests. All of the results were excellent, except for a slightly thin body and a lack of confrontation ability. The running speed of 30 meters is 3.96 seconds and the run of 100 meters is 10.98 seconds which is very fast for football players.

The test match went according to the normal time of 90 minutes, Hashim joined a red team that contained better defenders and reserve attackers. It is to see the limits of his defensive ability in midfield, the position Abel Silva has chosen for him is a sweeper in midfield.

Hashim showed his defensive talent well, he managed to withstand the onslaught of the opposing team and swept away many of their chances. The thing that amazed Thomas Sobek was his choice after seizing the ball, he did not rush to bring the ball forward, but passed the ball safely to his unguarded partner.

“His survival ability is really good, baby his body is too thin.” Danny Hooks commented first, he could see Hashim's stealing ability very well but sometimes he fell down with a simple confrontation.

“Her height is actually quite good, he is as high as 1.85 meters, but his weight is only 69 kg which is too light, if he can reach the weight of 75 kg and reduce his body fat content to 10% then the confrontation of his body would increase a lot. It's a good player, but it still needs time for polishing.” Abel Silva commented.

“So he's definitely a good player, but we need time to be able to fully use it? How long will it take for this “polishing”?” Ask Jurgen Meyer.

“If normal takes 8 months and he can play some games that are not too difficult when this time. But if he does not work according to training standards or his body is difficult to change may need 1 year of training.” Abel Silva said.

Jurgen Meyer thought about it for a while and finally made up his mind. He decided to sign this Hashim
