Metz goalkeeper Fischer ready for Ligue 1, three years after being a substitute teacher
Goalkeeper Jonathan Fischer has come a long way from playing part-time soccer in Denmark and waiting around for his next posting as a substitute teacher. Now the 23-year-old Dane is preparing for his first season in the French league with newly promoted Metz, which signed him from Norwegian club Fredrikstad on a four-year contract. He could face Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain later this season, which a while back would have seemed unfathomable. 'Two years ago I was a part-time footballer and three years ago I was a substitute teacher in Denmark,' Fischer said at his official unveiling. 'So I try not to think too far ahead.' Fischer, who is 1.98 meters (6 feet 6 inches) tall, impressed enough last season with Fredrikstad to persuade Metz to pay a reported fee of 3 million euros ($3.5 million) for him. Despite his imposing size — slightly bigger than PSG goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma and slightly smaller than Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois — he describes himself as 'quick on the line' and 'capable of playing out from the back.' Fischer's first impressions of France since arriving? 'A lot of baguettes. It's good, I like it,' he said. 'It's really good food down here (compared) to what I'm used to.' ___ AP soccer:
