Thomas Risch changes from RB Leipzig to St. Pauli: New chapter begins!

FC St. Pauli has landed a real coup: Thomas Risch, a veteran of RB Leipzig, changes to the Hanseatic city and will strengthen the coaching team around Alexander Blessin. Risch, who has worked for Leipzig since 2010, was most recently active in the youth performance center and has a wide range of experiences. In addition to his task as an assistant coach, he will also work as a video analyst, a role that Ole Marschall most recently held and was said goodbye after four years. Risch is looking forward to the new challenge and highlights the advantages of the city. "I am looking forward to the new task in a beautiful city," he said during the move to FC St. Pauli, as [rblive reports] (https://rblive.de/transfer-geruechte/ex-pieler-und- after-work employee association-Urlaesstein-verlaesst-Rb-Leipzig-zum-fc-st-pauli-4069537).

Alexander Blessin, who has been head coach of FC St. Pauli since last year, sees a valuable asset in Risch. In his first season, Blessin was able to hold the class and reach a solid 14th place with his team - three points above the relegation place. "We learned a lot last season and with Risch on board the coaching team becomes even stronger," continued Blessin. Risch has experience in the field of video analysis over a decade, a competence that can be decisive beyond success in the Bundesliga.

The role of video analysis

In the digital era, video analysis is becoming increasingly important in football. Risch attaches particular importance to the analysis of standard situations, an area in which FC St. Pauli showed weaknesses last season - no goal due to a free kick was the sad record. With the support of modern software such as Athlyzer, trainers and players can benefit both tactically and individually. The advantages of a detailed video analysis are diverse: trainers can recognize individual strengths and weaknesses of the players, while strategic approaches against opposing teams can be precisely developed. In addition, communication within the team improves, which leads to effective game preparation, as Athlyzer describes.

With Risch, St. Pauli has not only won an experienced trainer, but also a specialist for game analyzes, who will optimally implement the requirements of Blessin and help the team to act even more successfully. The cooperation between Risch and Blessin, which already took place in Leipzig, will certainly have a positive impact on the development of the team.

The merged expertise of Risch and the strategic vision of Blessin could raise FC St. Pauli to a new level, while fans are waiting for the coming season full of anticipation. In any case, you have proven a good hand with this obligation!
