Timmy Thiele: Cottbus ’Hope bearer fights back into the team!

Cottbus, Deutschland - Timmy Thiele, striker of Energie Cottbus, can look back on a challenging season. With 15 goals, he was a central part of the team, which took fourth place after climbing to the third division. But the joy of the success is overshadowed by the disappointment about the missed ascent. On the last matchday, Cottbus lost his home game against FC Ingolstadt 1: 4 and thus missed the leap to the relegation place, a fact that Thiele described as "incredibly painful". This defeat led the 1. FC Saarbrücken overtaking Cottbus after defeating Borussia Dortmund's U23. According to coach Pele Wollitz, the team was the better team up to the 2-1 and had numerous chances, but they remained unused. Wollitz spoke of "much emptiness" and "maximum disappointment" after the game, while Thiele missed the opportunity to see again with his former club, Hertha BSC.

After the disappointing season in May 2025, the focus is now on the return to the field. He has had a knee operation behind him and works intensively on his comeback. Although he plans to go to the training camp with the team, he will probably not be there in the first game of the season. This situation contributes to emotional stress. Thiele reflects the past season and emphasizes that the team has not focused too much on the big goal, but this does not reduce the success they have achieved.

A new look at the coming season

In the new season, it is important to force the integration of new players because the squad has experienced some changes from a departure and approaches. However, Thiele sees those responsible at Energie Cottbus well prepared and believes in a plan for the team. "The squad is positive and I am confident," says Thiele.

According to Thiele, the team has the goal of securing the relegation for the coming season. He is aware that the second season in the third division could be difficult because the opponents can better adjust to Cottbus. Thiele shows himself as a real leader who not only wants to raise the training and game level, but also supports younger teammates and is at your side.

a relatively private life

Away from the field, Thiele developed a creative streak. He runs a tictok channel where he shares Lip-Sync videos. However, he has not yet selected a song for his next video, which shows that he also follows his passions in the digital world. In addition to the pressure of professional football, this gives him compensation.
