Most recently, Charlison Benschop was on the road as an angel of peace. During Alemannia’s guest appearance in Wuppertal, Aachen’s Uli Bapoh completely freaked out and could no longer be calmed down by his teammates and staff. Then Wuppertal’s center forward intervened. Caring about an opponent like that is not common in this league. The attacker was a nice exception that day.
Benschop will face Bapoh every day next season if he stays at Tivoli. According to information from this newspaper, the powerful attacker is moving to Aachen. The former Curacao national player still has a contract, but the Wuppertal sports club is now becoming a Wuppertal savings club that has to reduce its budget. According to reports, the club is not putting any obstacles in the way of its most accurate striker and is terminating the contract early.

Become Heinz with power
This season Benschop, who has played and scored in many European leagues, has scored 13 goals. On Saturday he missed a penalty against Ahlen and hit the crossbar once, so he remains in fourth place on the top scorer list in the regional league, which is led by Aachen’s Anton Heinz.
Erdal Celik, squad planner at Tivoli, switches to call diversion when it comes to the issue; he doesn’t want to take up rumors, he said on Sunday morning. In general, he considers Benschop to be a professional “who can help every team in the third division.” Celik also believes that Benschop, who lives in Krefeld with his wife and two children, is a great person. Benschop, who has already played in the Bundesliga, will be 35 years old in August and is still considered to be in top shape. “If we could sign such an experienced player, it would be a very important building block,” says Celik.
According to information from this newspaper, the medical check is scheduled for Monday. Then Soufiane El-Faouzi is also expected to see the Aachen doctors. The defensive player from Fortuna Düsseldorf announced his move in a rather unorthodox manner on Friday. He did not use the club homepage or social media for this; rather, his request was made known on a tenant platform. There he posed as an apartment hunter who would start working at the Tivoli in June.
Rarely has a player – involuntarily – made a club change public in such an unusual way. Aachen’s sports director Sascha Eller did not want to officially confirm the transfer at the weekend (yet). In any case, Benschop and El-Faouzi are expected for a medical check at the beginning of the week. (pa)
