Red White Erfurt loses his best six this winter! Samuel Biek (26) is moving to second division team Miami FC in the US state of Florida, returning to America, where he studied.
IMAGE: Why Miami?
Biek: I wanted to go back to the USA. My wife is American, her sister is pregnant. We just wanted to be closer to her family. When the offer came from Florida, it was immediately clear: we’ll do it!
Is it a career step forward for you as a footballer?
Definitely. My goal is to continue to make a name for myself there. I can also recommend Major League Soccer (MLS) over the second division in Miami. And sure, I want to live in the USA. Miami is perfect for me as a footballer; football is on the rise in the city. Not just thanks Lionel Messi. The Copa America final will take place in Miami next year and it will then be the venue for the World Cup in 2026.
When will the duel between Biek and Messi take place?
We are in a city, there will be test matches and then there is the cup. So let’s hope for luck.
Biek: “Paolo Maldini is my president”
Who is behind Miami FC?
It is a group of investors from AC Milan. My president is Paolo Maldini.
Do you also mourn Erfurt?
Despite all the anticipation for the adventure, I’m also sad. We have built a lot together here at RWE, and my child was born in Erfurt.
What you certainly won’t miss is the German weather…
Definitely not. We are currently looking for an apartment and want to look for something near the beach. I’m looking forward to eating there, there are many very good Mexican restaurants in Miami. In addition, the way of life of the Americans, this positive lifestyle, the openness. And of course the league.
Which opponents are waiting for you?
We’re flying across the USA. From San Francisco, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh or Indianapolis – there are many interesting cities to get to know. And with a good team. This is going to be wild!
