S+Why Kofler is not just a fighter

Raphael Kofler is not yet a seasoned Serie B professional. But the 19-year-old from Rabland is well on his way to becoming one. Against Reggiana, he played the best game of his career so far and showed that FC Südtirol and coach Federico Valente are right to rely on him.

"Rapha did very well. He was not only strong in the tackles, but also on the ball," said Valente after the 3-1 away win over Kofler. For the second time in a row, the South Tyrolean was in the starting eleven of the FCS coach, who had already announced after Andrea Masiello's injury became known that the time was right for Kofler. Against Reggiana, Kofler had good defensive statistics - but it would be wrong to limit him to just that.
