Teams such as Lyon and Turbine Potsdam have been following the progress of Macedonia's young star, Nataša Andonova, for over a year. Born April 12, 1993, the 17 year old midfield/attacker has been known to score goals from all over the pitch. Despite Macedonia being outmatched during the 2010 U-19 UEFA Championship, Nataša Andonova's performance stood out. As a result, Andonova became the first women's player to play in a professional league outside of the her country.
Transferring from ZFK Borek to Turbine Potsdam, Andonova will entrust her development with Bernd Schröder, one of the best coaches in professional soccer. Playing and training with premier players such as Lira Bajramaj, Anja Mittag, and Babett Peter will provide Andonova with the opportunity to train at an elite level.
Making her Turbine Potsdam debut during an International Indoor Soccer Tournament, Andonova has already netted a goal during the first match. Andonova scored Potsdam's third goal of the match during the 8th minute, helping Potsdam record a 5-0 victory over Arna-Bjørnar Bergen.
As UEFA's U-19 Golden Player of 2010, Andonova has a promising future. Whether or not she is ready for a caliber team such as Potsdam remains to be seen. Although she is an excellent goal scorer, more experienced goal keepers may disrupt her flow of confidence. If she stays with the first team at Potsdam, it will be interesting to see how and where Schröder will use her.
