COACHHendrick KERR. 49-years-old coach, who having already won National League championship, two national cups, one league cup, two Youth League championship and in addition won a second division tournament once. He was always looked for a young talents, gave them a chances to play and make many a first-rate players. He lead team in the 9th U18 Cup, first ever international competition for Trolleborg, putting decent display, and was selected by the FA and fans to continue this endeavour. Altought some pundits prophesied that he would now try to apply for the leadership of one of the teams outside the region, he take offer from FA.
Team was assembled around the old backbone, minus players who no longer pass age hurdle. Attacking line have suffered most, and there was some new faces in other lines, altought there was almost the same set of midfielders. As always, most of the players play in the Youth League, where teams affiliated with professional teams play between themselves, some already enter lineups of the Trolleborg first division teams as a backup and some play in the lower leagues as a first-team players.
GOALKEEPERSMorten Kerr (18-years-old). Younger brother of now-very-famous Kerr who playing for a national team, abd namesake of head coach, Morten is already play a lot of games in the National League, and having a number one shirt in his team last season despite his young age.
Tijn Willems (18). Third keeper in the most recent champions Finn Hurps at the beginning of the season, then move to the second division to have a more playing time, and probably will only enter national team lineup if something went wrong.
Torstein Oirschoot (17). Promising youngster, putting decent performance at the last Youth League championship, and it will be seen how successfull he will be at the national team.
DEFENDERSTheo Korta (18). Sturdy build, he is not fastest player ever, but read the game easily and arrive whenever most needed. Theo extremely good tackler and man-marker, which he already prove in the both Young League and National League.
Ceel Kolding (18). Already established player in his team, he was known as a “Wall”, because it’s extremely difficult to move into the box past him. Given his age, he have a prospect to became one of the best defenders in the country history.
Jaan Berg (18). Man-marker, who already give a tough time to some established forwards in the league. It’s rumoured, that Finn Hurps have put a eye on him, but right now he has a new contract with his team.
Mart Paauwe (18). He have a very big talent, and with some work he will be a great player in the nearest future. At the last U18 Cup he was a backup for the Korta and Kolding, but right now after convincing display in the Youth League and first team debute he is slightly nearer to the lineup.
Naoise Quirijn (18). Sturdy right defender, he make a very strong impression in Youth League and then transferred to the second league, preferred to play often. He is now regular fixture in his team roster.
Joos Haankrands (18). Left defender, agile and fast, he has everything to be the first-rate star on his position in the years to come.
Gerald Sier (17). Having nickname which roughly translated as a “Little Fox”, this fast-moving agile redhead is useful addition to the team, being played both left and right defender with a view to move forward if opportunity arose.
Aldert Turp (18). Right defender by trade, although not considered the greatest talent in the youth league, this player showed enough talent and composure to draw a coach attention to him.
MIDFIELDERSMorten Gronquist (18). He is one of the players who play for a team in a second-level league. Raised in the Finn Hurps youth team, he prefer to be transferred to the lower division where he have a place in the line-up and making himself a name because of his good passing and dribbling skills.
Jasper Lucius (18). With a perfect sense of game, he is also can move ball to where it want with only one touch, and he is good with a set-pieces. Already established player in his hometown team, being man-of-the-year in it last year.
Anton Bregelin (18). Right midfielder, usually running fast without tiring back and forth, almost always ended his runs with a good cross. In the last season he showed ability to make crosses at any height
Martijn Knopper (18). Another left midfielder, who play left back in his first years as a player, put some strong performances in the Youth League.
Torstein Halst (18). Right winger\forward, with a good passing, very well in curved shots from outside the box, recently made a league debute and make a good impression.
Stuart Hofland (18). He play in the hometown team in second-level league as a midfielder\defensive midfielder, and already have an accolades to his name, with a good tackling skills and already proven long-range shot.
Karsten Gould (18). Star of the Youth League, this versatile midfielder can also play as a forward if needed. But his passing much better than shooting skills. Rumours linked him with a lot of strong teams.
Kees Hanegem (17). Only one addition to the already existing set of midfielders, Hanegem is played as a defensive midfielder and sometimes if need arose as a central defender.
FORWARDSMogren Langepaas (18). Star of the Youth League, best striker of the last it’s championship and play some impressive games for a National League team. His style of play does not look very spectacular, but he has a phenomenal scoring sense and constantly finds gaps in the defensive orders.
Tom Sibon (17). Having recently played in Youth League very good, he got a place in the line-up thanks to serious work on improving his skills, especially in heading.
Karsten Reuser (17). One of the names, which everyone is likely to hear about in the coming years, Reuser is already well-known for his scoring flair, and his manner of the game is similar to fame-covered Stuart Kerr.
Jasper Skjold (17) . Altought very young, he already having a reputation of a great master of avoiding man-marking and put himself where opportunity to put a goal exist.
Everyone expected that team will play fast offensive football. All players is understandable high on adrenaline, but nevertheless prepare to do everything possible to play well, or at least put a decent performance even when odds are overwhelming.

As already become tradition, we ask host countries to allow a parade of fans with a live music before each game and a places for series of exhibitions devoted to gastronomy, culture and national traditions of our country. Also we traditionally ask allocate us some space in the hosting cities to make an exhibition of our cultural heritage and traditions with some traditional sport contests for a local citizens. Alcohol is prohibited in Taeshan, and there was a national curfew, so we we must respect the traditions of the hosts, and thus will make certain adjustments to the our behavior.
MEDIA
Games will be covered by leading sport magazine of the country
and we will publish most interesting stories and comments from our social web T-Friends
Especially from FTST85 account, of the our fans dean.
Of course, TTV will try broadcast all matches in 3D format, albeit technology is only in its first legs, and problems unavoidable
Albeit Taeshan have a rather perfect system of communication, it’s difficult to put through games with a lot of goals, like 8-6 or 9-4, and some colour changing can be viewed – goalkeeper in orange suit will looked like in a yellow or even black one etc.
