1st FC Magdeburg Denis Wolf: from problem child to new hope By Uwe Tiedemann
+ In Lübeck always dangerous double-scorer Denis Wolf, who failed here VfB Goalkeeper Melzer. Photo: B. Possiencke Denis Wolf Lange had the football first division side FC Magdeburg more grief prepared. Because of its complicated knee injury, the ex-Erfurt in 2009/10, with little kick, just four games played over 90 minutes. This is this season different. Quite different actually. Because Wolf is not only fit again, he makes goals - six in the preparation and now two in the league game start in Luebeck.
Lübeck, Magdeburg. "We wanted to take something, even a 0-0 would have given me personally. So it was of course a super debut, of which one can only dream of," Wolf beaming after his two goals worth seeing on Lübeck Lohmühle, for a wildly acclaimed 2 :0-Away and (with Eintracht Braunschweig II) had ensured the championship lead. And this in spite of a sprained neck vertebrae area, which he had contracted with Sprint tests: "This is not without, at night I still have pain, but in such a game is so much adrenaline in it, because you do not think it and feel it altogether. "
In the 63rd Minutes of the 27-year-old had a well-timed Georgi-edge turns per head, then a solo successfully completed (74). "We know what we have in him," said coach Ruud Kaiser, referring Maik Georgi explicitly in his praise with a "very strong, as he prepared for the 1-0."
Remarkably, Wolf has recently met frequently with the head. "So I do not see the unusual, even in youth's has often worked," he looked back.
It seemed the storm cast in Lübeck boil down to the native Hanover in the center on a temporary solution, because Marko Verkic lacked the punch and Eddy Vorm after his enforced break (thigh strain) nor the liveliness. So decided Kaiser, Georgi summon to the right outdoor track and Wolf in the top (55th). A stroke of luck, as it turned out soon. Georgis speed on defense was not prepared for the Lübeck - the beginning of the end. "It's true that I feel better when I can come on out," Wolf admitted, adding, "But even this version we have already tested, for example, in Bielefeld. And I think also at the center can I bring a lot. "
The three in the far north a classified Wolf also so high, "because I am convinced that will be available at the Lohmühle many teams problems. Perhaps there was not at the top of Lübeck, a power in its own stadium, they will in any case. "
And what does the FCM-win for the first home game against HSV II, 22 August? Wolf: "The expectation from the fans is of course increased. But I think it's good.'s Exactly what we wanted."

NEW ZEALAND -- “I want to play for the Azkals, but mom was already a German citizen when I was born”, said Denis Santos Wolf when asked if he would be interested to apply for a Philippine passport and play for the Philippine national football team.
Denis is in doubt if he could play for the Azkals as his Filipina mother, Patricia Santos has already acquired German citizenship when he was born. Thus, the experienced Filipino-German striker is unsure if he still qualifies to get a Filipino passport.
“But I’m not going to give up just yet”, he said.
Denis Santos Wolf was born in the city of Hanover, in Germany . Since the country is football-crazy, it is no surprise that at an early age Denis was already exposed to the beautiful game.
“I started playing football at age 5, for Germania Grasdorf.”, Denis tells us.
German Youth
SV Germania Grasdorf is a football development team for German youth. It was in this club that the young Denis learned the basics of the game. He rose slowly, but steadily, through the ranks of the team until such time that he was able to fulfill a dream. His hometown team, Hannover 96 scouted him when he was 15 and was signed up to join their youth team. That was the start of his rise through the ranks of German football.
“The coaches saw that my football was too mature for the youth team, so they moved me to the Hannover 96 U-23 team which plays in the Oberliga (German 4th Division), ” he said.
Denis made 20 appearances in the Oberliga, scoring seven goals. In 2003, he eventually broke into the first team of his hometown club. Wolf then became the first Filipino-blooded player to play in the Bundesliga, Germany ’s highest division at age 20.
At this time, Wolf was at the peak of his career. He would make four appearances as a Hannover 96 player, scoring a goal in the process. Then, bad luck struck.
Denis Wolf had an operation in his stomach which took him out of action for a long time. Wolf wasn’t able to see action again until the end of that season. In the summer, he scraped a few chances of training but failed to impress then-Hannover manager Ralf Rangnick. Eventually, the club decided to let him go on loan to Fortuna Dusseldorf in the 2nd Bundesliga , Germany ’s second highest league.
Denis took a drop in terms of level of competition but he eventually found himself back on track. He made a total of 31 appearances, scoring five goals, during this loan spell period. Believing that Fortuna would climb into the Bundesliga and since he was a regular starter, Denis decided to sign a permanent deal with Fortuna Dusseldorf.
“I figured it was best for my career that time”, he explained.
More Injuries
Sadly, he picked up a number of injuries in his second season with the club and only played 24 games. Denis scored two goals in that season. Then, another bad luck struck as he broke his right foot. It was his worst injury and he had to undergo another operation.
The injury stalled Denis career once again just like when he got injured at his previous club, Hannover 96.
After failing to recover in time for the next season, Fortuna Dusseldorf decided to offload Denis. His next club would be in the third-tier of German football, with the club FC Rotweiss Erfurt . He would make 56 appearances for the first team, scoring 12 goals in total. But then his injuries took its’ toll on him again, and this time Denis was dropped to Erfurt ’s reserve squad. He made a further two appearances and one goal during his brief spell with the reserves. In 2009, after two years with the club, he was released on a free transfer.
If Denis had stayed fit, he would definitely be still in the Bundesliga. Playing in Germany’s highest league at the young age of 20 definitely signals potential, and Denis definitely had this.
Today, he plays for F.C. Magdeburg in the fourth tier of German football. Compared to his golden days the level of his current playing fitness is much lower. But whatever experience he obtained from playing in those leagues can not be taken away. Who knows? Maybe someday the Azkals will benefit from that experience. At six feet, two inches Denis is a striker the Azkals may want to field. And his interest to acquire Filipino citizenship gives us more hope of seeing the German Wolf transform into an Azkal in the future. LE

PinoyFootball.com exclusive NEW ZEALAND -- “I want to play for the Azkals, but mom was already a German citizen when I was born”, said Denis Santos Wolf when asked if he would be interested to apply for a Philippine passport and play for the Philippine national football team. Under the constitution, he can claim Filipino citizenship if either his father or mother is a Filipino at the time of his birth. That's a fact he needs to establish with competent proof. Sadly, I dont see how he can do it without some under the table transactions. Perhaps, he should consult Asi Taulava and co. how to do it. ;D

well i think if he can prove that his blood grandmother or grandfather were born in the philippines, i think he can use that to make a case for him to play for the azkals under article 16(c) of FIFA's eligibility rules to play for a national team. so even if his mom is a german citizen, his grandparents are also a source.

If Mulders got a passport he can also.

Latest update on Denis, he has picked up a minor injury and hopes to feel better soon.
Oh and p.s: Denis does want to play for the Azkals. He was recently trying to contact Coach Weiss and/or Gert Engels for a possible try-out in the team.
