A football player is defined as polyvalent if he manages to play in at least 2-3 positions.
The Bulgarian national team acquired a record holder in this indicator. After he was issued with a passport, the German Fabian Nürnberger, whose mother is Bulgarian from Stara Zagora, will play for our state team.
He turned 25 on July 28. The 178 cm tall Nürnberger can not only play, but in his career so far he has played in as many as 6 positions.
The current player of the second division “Darmstadt” has excelled as a left defender and midfielder, defensive and offensive midfielder (the so-called 8-person)playmaker (t.nar. 10-ka) and right midfielder. With all the conventionality of positions in modern football.
Bulgaria’s new international can cover the entire spectrum on the left flank due to the fact that his strong foot is his left.
To his qualities can be added the solid shot that he possesses, as well as the ability to carve out a good position for a shot.
In Darmstadt’s last game, Nürnberger played as a left half-back and scored a penalty for the 3:1 victory away to 4th division Teutonia (Ottensen) in a match of the first round of the cup tournament.
Fabian was born in Hamburg. Passes through the schools of “Hamburger”, “Eintracht” (Norderstedt) and “Nindorfer”. In the latter, he caught the eye of a scout from “Nuremberg” and was recruited into the team. Played for the first team from 2019 to 2023, recording 100 league appearances with 7 goals. In 2020, he helped “Nuremberg” stay in the Second Bundesliga with goals for 2:0 in the first play-off against “Ingolstadt”. In the second leg, Nürnberger’s team dramatically won 1:3.
Last summer, as a free agent, he was attracted to “Darmstadt”, which climbed to the Bundesliga. In it, he was haunted by injuries and recorded 17 matches with 1 goal.
Already in 2019, the then coach Krasimir Balakov tried to attract him to the national team. Now Ilian Iliev managed to do that, who called Nürnberger for the League of Nations matches with Belarus and Northern Ireland (September 5, 8).
Thus, he becomes the third German in our national team after Friedrich Klud and Lukas Petkov.
