In an interview, Christopher Trimmel talks about a possible departure from Union Berlin. Opposite the ‘Bild’ the captain of the iron says: “What can I say? I have extended my contract. If I don’t play the first half of the season next season, I’ll want to change as I know myself. Because that’s how I am and see myself in football for another two or three years. I’m fit, I train with 18-, 19-year-olds. I don’t see myself at a disadvantage here at the moment. To me, my age is just a number. It’s about performance.”
In addition, Trimmel couldn’t resist a little jab at Urs Fischer: “The coach sensed that I was concerned. I’m the captain of this team. A captain should actually always be on the field.” To explain: The 36-year-old remained in the squad several times during the second half of the season and had to be content with short appearances twice. The right-back is contractually bound to the Berliners until 2024. Overall, Trimmel was on the pitch 300 times for the current Bundesliga fourth. It remains to be seen how his words will be received in Köpenick.
