In 2012 he won the double with Dortmund. Now Chris Löwe (32) is returning to the 2nd division with Dynamo Dresden.
BILD: Mr. Löwe, your contract will expire in 2022. Is this going to be your farewell season?
Chris Lion: “It was actually already clear before Corona that the topic of football was over for me. At that time I would not have thought it possible that it would still turn. So now I let it come to me, how it feels in March or April. Then I’ll make a decision with the club. “
BILD: You wouldn’t change clubs anymore?
Lion: “No. You saw that after being relegated to the second division. If I had really wanted to, there would have been options. I have decided that Dresden will be the last club. Even if Dynamo doesn’t want to continue with me, that’s it. “
BILD: At the European Championship, Italy’s Leonardo Bonucci (34) and Giorgio Chiellini (36) show what is possible in old age …
Lion: “If nobody is kicking me, my body is so knitted that it won’t hurt itself. So I wouldn’t have to stop because of my infirmity. The question is whether I have the motivation and the feeling that I can help. I don’t feel like traveling as a mascot. It has to make sense in terms of football and we’ll see that this season. “
BILD: Is the central defense better for you now?
Lion: “Of course you have less mileage in that position. But currently I also trust myself to do the left side. “
BILD: Who shaped you in your career?
Lion: “In character at that time Mats Hummels in Dortmund. The ambition with which he was on the road every three days is difficult to maintain and impressive. We are still in contact from time to time. “
BILD: Are you building a car pool with newcomer Morris Schröter from Chemnitz?
Lion: “I think he’s going to take an apartment in Dresden. And I’m too fast for him … “
BILD: How do you feel before the new season?
Lion: “I have the same thing as last year. I had a good nose for it that it would fit. The new additions are humanly correct again one hundred percent. “
BILD: What is important in the league?
Lion: “The 2nd division is going to be brutal. Even as a big club, we are often outsiders. You have to be careful to collect your points regularly. And iron out your mistakes as a team. That will be the recipe, because this year it does not go smoothly and we are sometimes in a place where we do not want to go.
