Soccer – Freiburg im Breisgau – goalscorer Petersen: Also next season in Freiburg – sport

Freiburg (dpa) – Record joker Nils Petersen will stay at SC Freiburg beyond the summer. “In any case, I will still play in the new stadium next season, I can already say that,” said the 32-year-old striker on Sunday in a Sport1 one-two. When asked whether his contract would expire this summer, Petersen did not respond. The Baden Bundesliga soccer team does not generally provide any information on contract terms.

“I already plan to stay loyal to Freiburg. At the moment, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” said the former international. If things go the way they do now, he’ll want to play professional football for a “long time”. The former Bayern and Werder professional has been playing in Freiburg since 2015.

He does not expect to say goodbye to coach Christian Streich this summer due to the upcoming move to the new stadium. When asked whether he would like to become a coach after his retirement, Petersen replied: “I am always accused of being too nice. I think that as a coach you shouldn’t be too nice. But you should never say never.” He can also imagine a future at the sports club after saying goodbye to active football. But he does not yet know in which direction he wants to go.
