Noah atubolu (Freiburg Im Breisgau, 25-5-2002) records records. Six consecutive games without receiving goals have earned him to unseat Richard Golz (509) as the goal that has maintained his goal to zero in the history of Freiburg: accumulates 576 … and going up.

“My beginnings were not easy, I had to endure many criticisms, but I think it is part of the process. I am very grateful to the Freiburg for always trusting me,” says Atubolu, who debuted in Europa League by Christian Streich, with 20 years and five months, and was done with ownership a year and a half, coinciding with the march of Mark Flekken to Brentford.

Now there is no one who ‘tosa’. Only Gulácsi (12) and Neuer (11) have left the goal more times in the present Bundesliga than the ‘number 1’ of the friburg (10). It can also boast of being the sixth goalkeeper who makes more stops (71) and the sixth with the highest percentage of stops (71.6%) in the German league.
However, your most impressive record, perhaps, is another. Atubolu has arrested four penalties consecutively – they have launched seven in total – in Bundesliga: to André Silva (Werder Bremen), to Wirtz (Leverkusen), to Volland (Berlin Union) and Juranovic (Berlin Union).
A milestone – to have four maximum penalties in a row – that only Hans Jörg Butt, Frank Rost, Thomas Zander and Bernd Leno had achieved in the history of the German league. “I have my tricks, but I will not reveal them. It has to do with what a long time dealing with penalties and I am prepared for when the time comes,” he told ‘Dazn’.

But not only stands out for its wide torso and its reflexes under sticks. It also has a good foot game. Precise and powerful. With Friburg Sub 17, in fact, he scored a goal from his own field.

Germany and Nigeria fight for their ‘signing’
Atubolu’s fame comes from afar. “He has more talent than me at his age,” Flekken admitted. The goal, 1.90 meters high, came to conquer the U19 Cup (2018), to ascend to Third with the Freburg subsidiary (2021) and win the Bronze Medal Fritz Walter to the third German player under 21 years.

In Germany it has always been well valued. He has been international from the Sub 17 to the Sub 21. His dream, however, is to debut with the absolute: “I have passed through all the lower categories. I would lie if I did not say that my dream is to play one day with the absolute of Germany.”

A dream of trying to change Gernot Rohr. The German coach, former selector of Nigeria, tried to sign without success in 2019. “I met him and is an option that I cannot rule out for the future,” he acknowledged ‘Own Goal Nigeria’.
For now, it seems “closed chapter.” “We made several proposals for a whole year, the last one in December. However, it seems very safe to reach the level with Germany. We have to respect their wishes,” they confess from the Nigerian Federation. Atubolu, while its time comes, trusts to continue beating records.
