In the podcast “Inside Kickers Emden” we speak to people from the club environment every two weeks. This time Tido Steffens is our guest.
Emden – When Tido Steffens first put on the jersey of the first men’s team of Kickers Emden in 2013, sometimes only 200 spectators watched in the regional league. “When we played against Germania Leer or SV Wilhelmshaven, there were sometimes a few more fans there. The development in recent years has been enormous.” In front of 6,200 spectators, the new captain led the team onto the field last Friday in a 1-0 home win against SV Meppen. Now he wants to take the first step towards the DFB Cup this Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. in the Lower Saxony Cup against VfB Oldenburg. In the new episode of “Inside Kickers Emden”, the Ostfriesen-Zeitung’s football podcast, the 30-year-old also talks about how he almost turned his back on his BSV last year. “Of course I’m very happy that I stayed in the end.”
On Friday, many spectators left the stadium with a “wow effect,” says Steffens. And not just because of the sporting performance, but also because of the new infrastructure. He had to listen to some comments from his teammates in the dressing room about whether he could even cope with the new grass. Tido Steffens in particular was known for his qualities on the deep clay soil in Emden. “But of course it’s great that we now have a new carpet and can play technically good football on it,” says Steffens, who is also pleased about the successful renovation of the pitch during the summer break. The attacker also reveals that he has to be free from vertigo in his job and how he manages to combine the demands of the regional league with his full-time job.
The podcast “Inside Kickers Emden” appears every two weeks on Wednesdays and is available wherever podcasts are available.
