At the age, of 15 Mathias Wichmann became the youngest player who has signed a contract with Aalborg BK. Back then, the directors of Aalborg feared to lose the player as clubs as Herenveen, Charlton, Werder Bremen and league rivals FC Midtjylland has announced their interest. According to Aalborg coach, Kent Nielsen Wichmann is one of the greatest talents in the squad:

“Mathias Wichmann is a young, creative and technical player and one of the best in the squad to keep a flow in the game and find the passing in some difficult situations.”

After haven trained with the first team squad for six months, the 18-year old midfielder announced to the local paper that his ambitions were to play regular on the best team in Aalborg. Injuries in the squad gave Wichmann the chance to show what he was capable of, and the young playmaker made his breakthrough. However, 2011 the former captain of Aalborg Thomas Agustinussen joined the team once again and Wichmann lost his position on the central midfield. The gifted player said:

"I have played a lot for the first team, so you might say that I succeeded. However, I am not playing regular yet but am hoping for it in the future."

When Augustinussen returned to Aalborg, Wichmann was used on the right wing for a time. Coach Kent Nielsen is happy to have Wichmann as a central midfielder, as well as a right wing; however the player himself is most happy to play on the central midfield as he feels that it is the best position for him to “contribute to the offensive play”.

Wichmann is not an unknown name on the Danish national youth teams, with more than ten matches in the red shirt. And according to the player the ambition is to bring more caps to the statistic:

"It is a dream to play for your national team, but to get there you has to play for your club team and do it well."

Wichmann has only played ten minutes in the first four matches of this season. A situation that does not fit the talent, who will “do the best to be a part of the starting XI”. However, earlier this year, Wichmann announced that if did not get more games he would have to leave the club. However, when Great Dane Football Blog asked about the current situation the midfielder said it was something he had to discuss with his agent, but that he was more than happy to play in Aalborg. Kent Nielsen’s recipe to Wichmann is clear:

“Wichmann has to train hard and do well on the training ground, which he does; he has a really great discipline. He has to show his strength in the reserves matches as well as when we get bans or injuries.”

At the same time, the coach insures that Wichmann and his qualities are going to be important for the team sooner or later.

Even though the Aalborg player earlier in his career rejected a move to Hereenveen, Charlton and Werder Bremen a career in a foreign country is still a dream. If he can chose himself, Manchester United would be the club for him, simply because he has always been a fan.
