He was used in the two semi-finals against 1. FC Kaiserslautern , in which, however, the devils prevailed.

Beginnings in professional football

In preparation for the 2011/12 season , coach Reiner Maurer Maier and seven other players who had belonged to the U19s in the previous season were appointed to the professional squad. In June and July 2011 he came to five appearances in test matches for the second division team of the sixties . After Korbinian Vollmann, Maier is the youngest player in the squad of the Munich Lions in the 2011/12 season . On the first matchday he was part of the 18-man squad at the game in Braunschweig as he did on the second matchday against Karlsruher SC and the DFB-Pokal first round match in Osnabrück , but he was not used in the three games. On August 6, 2011, he made his debut in professional football when he was substituted on on the third day of the game at the Löwen game in Cottbus .

On August 23, he first appeared in the DFB dress . He was on the starting line-up for the German U19s against Estonia . He was also used against Belgium and the Netherlands on September 1st and 4th.
