Jannik Rochelt (born September 27, 1998 in Lindenberg im Allgäu ) is a German football player . He usually plays in attacking midfield , but is often used both offensively and defensively in other positions. At FC Memmingen he established himself in the fourth-rate regional league Bayern , made the leap into professional football after around a year and has since played for the amateur team of FC Bayern Munich , with which he was promoted to the third division .

Athletic career

Jannik Rochelt comes from Weiler im Allgäu , in the Lindau district (Lake Constance) . At the local FV Rot-Weiß Weiler he started with club football and after his time on the small field , i.e. the E-youth , moved to VfB Friedrichshafen , a little over 40 kilometers away . There he played in the D-youth and C-youth , before it went back over the state border to Bavarian Swabia . There he ran from 2013 for the B-youth of FC Memmingen . In the first six months he played there in the younger B-Juniors class in the fourth-class District Oberliga Schwaben, from winter the now 15-year-old was two leagues higher with the U17 team in the B-Juniors Bayern League across the Free State and managed to stay up with the team. He also spent the following season 2014/15 in the U17s and finished this with his team in a solid midfield position far from the relegation ranks. A similar picture emerged for Rochelt with the A-Juniors as with the B- Juniors : First a few months with the younger age group at regional level, but then soon with the older age group on Bavaria-wide level and that was quite successful with a second place in the table behind FC Augsburg . Towards the end of his second A-youth year, Rochelt, now of legal age, came to his first appearances for the second men's team of FC Memmingen in the sixth-class Landesliga Südwest .

From summer 2017 he was a permanent member of the squad of the second team, but in November interim coach Bernd Kunze brought him to the first team of FC Memmingen, which played against relegation in the fourth-rate regional league Bayern . Jannik Rochelt immediately established himself in the team and at the end of the season FC Memmingen saved themselves from relegation against TSV Rain . With the early opening goal in the decisive second game on the local Bodenseestraße Rochelt made a significant contribution to staying up.

In the following season , the team had nothing to do with the relegation zone, on the contrary, they always moved in the first half of the table positions two to six. Things also went very well at Rochelt himself, he showed a level of accuracy never seen in his entire Memmingen time and contributed to the team's success with eight goals. Rochelt's achievements did not go unnoticed in the state capital and so he completed his training as a banker at the beginning of 2019, whereby his time spent from work to training was just under an hour each way. After completing his training, he then became a professional footballer with the second team of FC Bayern Munich, which is a professional team despite the common name "Bayern Amateure", also played in the Bavarian regional league and whose declared goal for the season was promotion to the third division . With Rochelt, a talent had made it into professional football that the coaches at the DFB base in Wangen im Allgäu did not particularly notice in his youth and thus never received training in a youth performance center .

While Rochelt's footballing sphere had so far been limited to the Lake Constance area and Bavaria, his first business trip with the new club took him across the Atlantic to Dallas , Texas , where he followed his new team to the training camp. His first appearance for the Bayern amateurs took place in a game against FC Dallas from the MLS , the highest North American soccer league, and was lost 4-0.

In the further course of the regional league season, Rochelt under coach Holger Seitz made a constant change between the starting eleven and appearances as a substitute. His eight goals in the first half of the season were followed by only one more. With the team he reached the championship of the Regionalliga Bayern and thus the promotion games against the champions from the north, the amateur team of VfL Wolfsburg . In the first leg, lost 3-1 in Wolfsburg, Rochelt was only a substitute. In the second leg in Munich, the Bayern amateurs were already 0-1 behind early on and it was Jannik Rochelt who initiated the turnaround with his equalizer and the preparation for the 2-1 lead. The game ended with 4: 1 and thus the team rose to the 3rd division. In the course of the second half of the season Rochelt had traveled with the team to England several times, as the Bayern amateurs took part in the Premier League International Cup , a competition in which twelve English and twelve continental European U23 teams take part. With his goal on penalties at Leicester City in the quarterfinals and an assist in the 3-1 semi-finals at Reading FC , he made a significant contribution to the final against Dinamo Zagreb , in which he was only used as a substitute. Bayern won the final 2-0.

After the summer break, Rochelt played in the 3rd division under the new coach Sebastian Hoeneß, initially in the position of right-back , which he was not used to until then , before returning to his regular position in attacking midfield. He had to pause twice due to injury and illness, otherwise he was in the starting line-up in around half of the games until the winter break. However, since then it has hardly been considered.
