Published on: 22 October 2026

Greuther Furth coach Heiko Vogel has praised Sacha Banse’s outstanding contribution, saying the Burkina Faso midfielder seems capable of covering every area of the pitch.

Vogel was particularly impressed by Banse’s energy and willingness to keep working throughout matches.

“Sacha is an incredible player. There were moments when I asked myself: ‘How is it possible that this player is everywhere on the pitch?’” Vogel said.

To describe Banse’s ability to cover ground, the German coach referred to the famous line associated with N’Golo Kante: “70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. The rest is covered by N’Golo Kante.”

Vogel then used the comparison to underline the scale of Banse’s influence.

“That is exactly the kind of player Sacha Banse is. He does everything. There is always 100% of the Earth’s surface covered by Sacha Banse,” he added.

The Greuther Furth manager also made clear how highly he values the midfielder within his squad.

“I am happy to have him in my team,” Vogel said.

His comments reflect the trust he places in Banse and the importance he believes the Burkina Faso international has to Greuther Furth.
