What drives Erfurt's top new choice? - Otto: Unlike the volcanic-like nature of Oliver Kahn.

Otto: "I'm disciplined and focused on my goals. I know what I want, where I'm going, and what I need to do to achieve it."

Should you be loud or quiet?

As a goalkeeper, I need to communicate with my teammates, but it's important to stay calm and composed. The game can get hectic, so maintaining calmness is key, both for me and my teammates. Personally, I'm a calm, relaxed, and thoughtful person.

Otto: "No self-starter here!"

Can you become a volcano?

I'm not the type to let my emotions take over. Yes, I've made mistakes like hitting the post, but those are rare occurrences. When I do get angry or energetic, I try to channel that energy into something positive. This could mean going to the gym or going for a run.

You haven't played much in recent years – will that be a problem?

It's true that I haven't had a consistent playing rhythm, but I'm confident I'll get back into the groove quickly. After a couple of games, my instincts and reflexes will return. I know I always need to be alert and focused.

What are your goals with Rot-Weiß?

First and foremost, the defense needs to be solid. A strong defense is the key to winning games. We need to mesh together quickly and grow as a team.

The change is significant. Is it a risk or an opportunity?

I see this move as an opportunity. It reminds me of my time in Ulm. Just like in Ulm, there was a major overhaul, and everyone was starting on equal footing. As a newcomer, I found it exciting to get to know my teammates and grow together. There were no pre-existing relationships or power dynamics that could slow down our progress.
