Noch deutlicher als das Cottbuser Duo geht nur die Taxierung von Hertha-Talent Julius Gottschalk (17) in die Höhe. Nach seinem Startwert von 150.000 Euro erhält der offensive Mittelfeldspieler nun nochmals 100.000 Euro dazu. Der gebürtige Berliner bestritt in dieser Saison sechs Partien in der Regionalliga und steuerte einen Assist bei. Herausragende Leistungen zeigte der Youngster in der U19-Bundesliga Nord/Nordost, in der er in 24 Einsätzen 14 Treffer und acht Vorlagen verbuchte.

However, one skill that he has added to his game that is rarely seen in a player his age is his ability to be at the right place at the correct times through his brilliant off-the-ball movements. This means that he is equally dangerous on the ball as he is without it, which makes it a menace for the opposition, who know that Gottschalk can pounce even on a small mistake which he has done regularly.
