Tiago Apolonia leaving Ochsenhausen?

What is going on here, I reckon he is getting a lot better paid in Saarbrucken.

I wonder who else Ochsenhausen are going to get ??

Or is Liam Pitchford replacing him!!! Go on PITCHIE!!

'After years of success in Ochsenhausen, Tiago Apolonia leaves the club but he
stays in the Bundesliga. Apolonia's new club is Saabrücken. The Portuguese
player will arrive there to replace his compatriot Joao Monteiro, whose new club
isn't known yet. However, Apolonia's transfer hasn't been officially announced
yet, because he is still competing for Ochsenhausen.



The German club Saabrücken of Bastian Steger has published on its web site
that Tiago Apolonia is its new player for the next season. Therefore, Apolonia
leaves Ochsenhausen and will arrive in Saarbrücken to replace his compatriot
Joao Monteiro.

The Portuguese player had successful seasons in Ochsenhausen since 2008 but
he couldn't keep that level after his knee injury suffered in early 2012. Then
Apolonia was gradually losing a place in the team after Ryu Seungmin's arrival
and good performances of Kirill Skachkov and Liam Pitchford.

People in Saabrücken are happy with Apolonia's arrival, because he was the
first candidate to replace Monteiro, who apparently didn't want to continue in
the club. However, Apolonia still have duties with Ochsenhausen. They are still
competing in the Bundesliga and are a step closer to the final after beating
Saarbrücken by 3:0 in the first leg match. '

This is interesting news, I heard Apolonia would be moving to play in the Russian League? I am surprised he is leaving Ochsenhausen for another German League club as he has been doing so well for them.

Yes was suprised but I guess everyone has a price. In my opinion Apolonia has sold himself out. I really dislike people like that.
What happened to loyalty and pride. Why is every so obsessed with $$$$

The transfer is known for quite some time but was officially confirmed just right now... Let's hope he doesn't do the same mistakes Marcos Freitas made for he is known to have been playing with high risks and request (too) much money and therefore broke up with some big clubs in Europe.

Interesting, when you mention high risk requests what do you mean?

How much money are we tallking about ?
I know Michael Maze was on 250k a few years ago but what could A good player like Marcos Freitas earn a year.

I was in Dusseldorf training and on of the trainers who was coaching maze told me that, and that timo boll got about half a million a year. Although he never specified what club he played for. Come to think of it he might be including sponsors and everything.

This was about 5 years ago, but I have no reason to believe that he would lie.

He also said that maze was very social and a ladies man aswell. I think he added a few notches to his bedpost when he was training at dusseldorf.

LOL- and people say table tennis is boring

Hehe, that's true! I know some girls playing in the Düsseldorf area or training there at the time Maze was playing there, too. And he definitely made some moves to get the phone numbers from a few of them ;)
