Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – Striker Nils Petersen from Bundesliga club SC Freiburg is concerned about the mood around professional football in times of the Corona crisis. “Assuming I were a bistro operator, my existence would now be on the brink. At the same time, I would see how football professionals who are already privileged are allowed to continue working – that would of course frustrate me,” the 31-year-old told the Badische Zeitung ” (Saturday).
He was “happy and grateful that I am allowed to do my job,” emphasized Petersen. “But of course it’s less fun than usual. The stadiums are empty and interest is waning.” The attacker said the lack of fans would leave a “huge gap”. “Mainly because one or the other fan feels: ‘Aha, so it works without us.’ It’s a painful development. “
With a view to the moderate start of the season for Freiburg, who scored six points from the first seven league games and received the bottom of the table FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / Sky), Petersen said: “We have to go a step further.” Still “standing with your back to the wall in February or March” is “very uncomfortable”.
