Torwart
Anfang Februar unterschrieb Diant Ramaj (23) bis 2029 bei Borussia Dortmund, wurde aber gleich bis Ende der Saison an den FC Kopenhagen ausgeliehen. Der Deutsch-Kosovare durchlief die DFB-Jugendmannschaften, spielte zuletzt 2021 für die U20. Seitdem wurde er nicht mehr nominiert. Als BILD das Top-10-Ranking der deutschen Torhüter veröffentlichte, die derzeit fit sind, fehlte der gebürtige Stuttgarter.
SPORT BILD: Herr Ramaj, vielen Dank, dass Sie überhaupt mit uns sprechen. Immerhin tauchen Sie nicht in den Top 10 auf.
Diant Ramaj: „Ehrlich gesagt höre ich gerade zum ersten Mal von diesem Ranking. Ich bin auch nicht so ein Fan dieser Statistiken. Mir ist wichtig, wie ich mich selbst sehe. Und wo. Das ist auf jeden Fall nicht unterhalb der Top 10, sondern weiter oben.“
Wo denn genau?
„Von den jungen Talenten bin ich die Nummer 1 – meiner Meinung nach. Wenn wir die ältere Generation dazuzählen, ist Neuer ganz klar der Beste. Dann gibt es ter Stegen, Nübel, Baumann. Aber ich vergleiche mich nicht mit denen, sondern mit den jüngeren Torhütern. Es geht ja um die Zukunft und nicht um die Vergangenheit.“
Trotzdem bitte einen Blick in die Vergangenheit – wer war Ihr Torwart-Idol, als Sie aufgewachsen sind?
„Ganz früher habe ich mir viel von Lev Yashin abgeschaut. Ich setze mich viel mit dem auseinander, was vor mir war. Und da bin ich auf Yashin gestoßen. Mich hat seine Mentalität und seine Geradlinigkeit beeindruckt. Mein Vorbild ist Manuel Neuer. Er hat das moderne Torwartspiel geprägt und in die richtige Richtung geführt.“
[–>Ihr eigenes Spiel wirkt sehr ungewöhnlich, teilweise sehen Sie bei Ihren Paraden wie ein Karate-Kämpfer aus.
„Das mache ich aus Instinkt. Es gibt einen Ball – und den will ich mir holen. Wie ich an ihn komme, das ist zweitrangig. Hauptsache, er ist bei mir.“
Man sagt Torhütern nach, dass Sie gerne etwas anders ticken als andere. Sehen Sie das an sich auch?
„Ein bisschen verrückt muss man als Torhüter schon sein. Um es nach ganz oben zu schaffen, muss man auch schon mal einen anderen Weg gehen als die anderen.“
Wie würden Sie Ihren Weg beschreiben?
„Mein Weg ist meine Mentalität. Ich bin sehr gradlinig und sehr ehrlich. Das spiegelt sich auf dem Platz wider. Ich gehe raus, auch, wenn es wehtut. Und auch, wenn da ein anderer nicht rausgehen würde.“
Das hat Ihnen einen Vertrag bei Borussia Dortmund eingebracht. Kommen Sie im Sommer als Nummer eins?
„Erst mal ist Dortmund ein großer Verein, da ist es nicht einfach, Nein zu sagen. Ich soll in Kopenhagen Spielpraxis sammeln. Da will ich Leistung zeigen, und der Rest kommt von selbst.“
Aber hoffen Sie auf die Nummer eins?
„Das wäre ein Erfolg. Und wenn man Erfolg haben will, dann muss man viele Sachen richtig machen. Und wenn man viele Sachen richtig macht, dann hat man Erfolg (lacht).“
Vielleicht dann ja auch wirklich in Zukunft in der Nationalmannschaft. Wann hatten Sie denn zuletzt Kontakt zum DFB?
„Mit Manuel Schneider, meinem früheren Torwart-Trainer, stehe ich ab und zu in Kontakt. Von der ersten Mannschaft habe ich bisher noch nichts gehört. Aber ich weiß – wenn ich meine Leistung bringe, wird es schwer, nicht auf dem Radar zu sein. Der anstehende Generationenwechsel ist sicher kein Nachteil für mich.“
Klopps Rolle beim Rose-Rauswurf: „Leistung war so erbärmlich!“
Was würden Sie dem kosovarischen Verband antworten, wenn der Sie einladen würde?
„Den Kontakt gab es schon. Nicht mit mir persönlich, aber zu meinem Umfeld. Das Interesse ist sehr stark. Aber ich will in meiner Karriere den maximalen Erfolg haben.“
In Ihrer Vita steht der Sieg in der Europa League mit Eintracht Frankfurt – ohne eine einzige Spielminute. Fühlen Sie sich als Europapokal-Sieger?
„Klar! Das war mein erstes Jahr in Frankfurt, und ich bin sehr dankbar dafür, dass ich einen Europapokal in die Höhe stemmen konnte. Ich hoffe, das ist ein gutes Omen für meine weitere Karriere.“
Nach Ihrem Wechsel von Frankfurt zu Ajax haben Sie gesagt, dass Sie früher mit der Mannschaft auf der PlayStation gespielt haben. Welche anderen Teams haben Sie virtuell zu Siegen geführt?
„Mittlerweile habe ich fast keine Zeit mehr dafür. Wenn ich nicht auf dem Platz bin, kümmere ich mich um meinen viermonatigen Sohn. Früher habe ich neben Ajax auch mit Dortmund gespielt. Allerdings auch mit Real Madrid und – ja, ich gebe es zu – Bayern München.“

4 Takeaways From the Dodgers’ NLCS Game 4 Win Over the Brewers
Another dominant pitching performance – and a three home run game – by the same superstar no less. That's certainly a way to earn a World Series berth. Behind a Shohei Ohtani performance for the ages, the Dodgers swept the Brewers in the National League Championship Series on Friday with a 5-1 win in Game 4 and are headed back to the World Series. Here are my takeaways:1. Oh My, Ohtani!A year ago, he became the first Major League Baseball player ever to hit 50 homers and steal 50 bases in a season. This year, he became the first player ever to hit 50 homers and record 50 strikeouts as a pitcher in a single season. With Shohei Ohtani, history is never far away. Friday night was no exception, as baseball’s unicorn illustrated what is quite possibly the most extraordinary single-game performance of […]

MLB playoffs 2025: John Schneider says Mariners fans ‘should take a look in the mirror’ after George Springer boos
A 95-mph sinker from Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo struck George Springer on his knee in the seventh inning of the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-2 defeat in Game 5 of the ALCS on Friday. Springer suffered a right-knee contusion, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider, though Schneider noted that the four-time All-Star's X-rays were negative."George is about as tough as they come," Schneider said. "I think he'll have to really, really be hurting to not be in the lineup on Sunday. So we'll see how he is."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSchneider then called out Mariners fans who booed after Springer rose to his feet and tried to stay in the game. Springer walked to first with a significant limp before Joey Loperfido ultimately replaced him as a pinch runner."I know this is an awesome atmosphere to play in. And it's really, really cool […]

WATCH: Louisville LB T.J. Capers hauls in play-of-the-year candidate INT to clinch upset win over No. 2 Miami
ESPN Louisville pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the 2025 college football season Friday, knocking off No. 2 Miami 24-21 to shake up both the ACC title and College Football Playoff races. The win wouldn't have been possible without the late heroics of linebacker T.J. Capers, who made an incredible defensive play in the final minute.With Miami facing third-and-1 from the Louisville 31-yard line and 36 seconds remaining, quarterback Carson Beck tried to throw a quick pass near the sideline to move the chains. The ball was deflected at the line of scrimmage, and Capers somehow came down with the interception to seal the game.The pick gave Louisville its first-ever road win over an AP top-five opponent. Miami (5-1, 1-1 ACC) entered as the favorite to win the ACC crown, but the loss complicates its path to the […]
