google translate piece from the tabloid 'BILD' paper on why Marco doesn't get a start at Furth...



"Two internationals, 6000 flight miles and then onto the bench. Exactly the same fate threatens Zsolt Korcsmár! more ...

Coach Frank Kramer (42):. "When it becomes serious, Marco often holds the ball too long and makes the wrong decisions" Exactly why was the New Zealander with Chilean roots not even a single time in the starting lineup, so far having only to three substitute appearances? 

In the friendly against Chemnitz (4: 0) the feisty attacker started the game. He had a chance to make an impact but despite a goal (to 1: 0) he made only limited impact. Kramer: "Friendly games are one thing, Official matches another. In friendly matches it's easier to impress. "

Why has Rojas, despite strong preparation at Stuttgart, still found it so hard going at Furth? Kramer explains: "It's different starting a game: there he was a squad player, here more was expected of him ."

I've tried to improve the translation above.

Sounds like things are going really badly for him at Greuther Furth and he won't see much playing time in the foreseeable future.

Although Marco was a very good player in the A-League, I was surprised he was signed by a Bundesliga club. Not many players as physically lightweight as him succeed in Germany.

Wynton Rufer always said he should see how he goes in the German second tier first - but now he's struggling even there.

He's had a whole season out injured though and maybe eventually he can overcome the criticisms made of him above by the Furth coach if he gets fitter and sharper.

Sounds like the Furth coach hasn't been too impressed and he'll have a really tough battle to prove himself though...

Coach Frank Kramer (42):. "When it becomes serious, Marco holds often too long the ball hits the wrong decisions" Exactly why was the New Zealander with Chilean roots even a single time in the starting lineup, so far came only to three short-term assignments.

In the test against Chemnitz (4: 0) the feisty attacker could now again from the beginning ran. Could but despite a goal (to 1: 0) make only limited in-house advertising. Kramer: "Preparing games are one thing, Official matches the other. In test matches can you get any rhythm. "

Why Rojas despite strong preparation in Stuttgart at the shamrock still so hard doing, Kramer explains: "It's a different starting position. There he ran alongside with, here he was needed - that he thinks too much after ".
