And when Stach joined Hoffenheim from Mainz in 2023, TSG managing director Alexander Rosen told the club\u2019s media team<\/a>: \u201cAnton is a very variable midfielder who is strong both defensively and offensively and has many special skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a strong physical presence, is a willing runner with a burst of pace and excels in duels. <\/p>\n

On top of all that, with his good passing, dynamic dribbling and excellent shooting technique, Anton is always able to make things happen in the final third. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn short: he is a player who will help us in every phase of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
