There is probably no nation on this planet that has more talented goalkeepers than Germany does. Sven Ulreich is one of these talented goalies.
Even though his performance has been good for several years, he has not yet been called to the German national team, because there are still 5 or 6 goalkeepers that are better than Ulreich.
Early Years
Sven Ulreich was born in 1988, in Schorndorf, Germany. As a child, he played at TSV Schornbach. Later, he moved to VfB Stuttgart where he played for the youth academy of the Bundesliga team.
In the 2005/06 season, Ulreich suffered a serious shoulder injury, which endangered the continuation of his career. After a year, he was able to return.
Bundesliga Career
After 29 games for the reserve team of Stuttgart, head coach Armin Veh called him up to the first team of VfB Stuttgart in 2008.
He signed a professional contract through 2011. On February 9, 2008, Ulreich replaced Raphael Schäfer, who was struggling with his form and made his Bundesliga debut against Hertha BSC.
After ten league games, he lost his spot to Schäfer again. In the 2008/09 season, he was the third keeper behind Jens Lehmann and Alexander Stolz. The following season Alexander Stolz left the club, and Ulreich became the substitute goalkeeper for the first team.
At the end of the 2009/10 season, Lehmann was suspended, and Stuttgart decided not to extend his contract. So Ulreich was the new starting keeper. On April 6, 2010, he extended his contract through June 2013.
He struggled with his form, though, and was replaced by Marc Ziegler from time to time. After Ziegler was injured in a game, Ulrey retook his place. During the winter break 2011/12, he got the best reviews by The Kicker sports magazine.
In January 2012, he extended his contract with VfB Stuttgart through the end of June 2017.
German national team
Ulreich played for the German national youth teams. He played for the U-16 as well as for the U-19 team.
On August 12, 2009, he made his debut for the German U-21 national team in the Lobanovskiy Cup in Ukraine against Iran. It was a horrible game for him, though. He fouled the other team's striker and got suspended.
Despite the imposed penalty kick, Germany was still able to win 1:0. Sven Ulreich is still waiting for his first senior international game.
