Strengthen

That Thielmann is already at 36 missions, it is also because it can be used offensively variable - both centrally as a striker or hanging tip as well as on both outer storm positions.

In view of his age, Thielmann presented itself as a very closing one. Despite only two scores achieved, about every fifth shot landed in the gate. Neither the Ismail Jakob's immigrant for € 7.5 million to AS Monaco, still Florian Kainz or Sebastian Andersson came close to this efficiency.

In addition, Thielmann was last season behind Ondrej Duda (six) with Marius Wolf and Ellyes Skhiri (3) second-best temporator in the squad of the Geßböcke. In relation to the season, only DDA comes with 0.19 templates per game on more templates. Behind it already follows Thielmann with 0.16. While Kainz did not give a template in eight missions, Andersson and Jacobs arrived in 16 or 23 missions to one assist.

Weaknesses

One of Thielmann's weaknesses is that he can beat in one-counter-one situations too rarely capital from his speed. With 0.41 successful dribblings per game, he was 2020/21 FC internal behind Jacobs and Cainz. Only Anderssson has less successful dribblings, but fulfills as a pusher, which should also hold and distribute balls with the back to the gate, another function as Thielmann.

Added to this is a weakness in the passport game. Only 64 percent of the passed passes also brought Thielmann to the man. Although this was certainly because Cologne's game was not shaped by security and conviction in the past season. Also Jakobs (67 percent) and Kainz (69 percent) were far from good values. Nevertheless, the one point in which Thielmann has strong improvement potential.

Conclusion

Coach Steffen Baumgart also offers offensive variability. If he continues to improve his dribblings and pass quality, Thielmann soon become indispensable for the Cologne.
