Munich (dpa) - The footballer Fiete Arp from FC Bayern Munich, who was still highly acclaimed in the HSV times, expressed himself very self-critically in an interview about his previous career as a professional.
“The high at the beginning was a problem,” the now 21-year-old told the “kicker” (Monday) about the time after his move from Hamburger SV to the German record champions in the summer of 2019. After the good preparation in Munich, he had “set standards which originally weren't my goal at the time ».
Before this season, Arp had surprised with the decision to join the second team of FCB in the third division. He still believes in a breakthrough for the Bundesliga leaders. "Definitely! But that depends a lot on me. If I develop myself further, then I definitely have a perspective here. My goal is to leave my footprints in the first team, that's why I came to Bayern, ”said the striker. His contract runs until summer 2024.
Arp reported that the time spent with the professionals at Hamburger SV as a 17-year-old was not good for his development.
“Maybe I should have turned all the praise into self-confidence more consistently.
It actually slowed me down, ”said the youngest Bundesliga scorer in the Hamburg club's history.
“The most important part of my game is self-confidence, from which a self-image emerges in the game for things that may differentiate me from other players.
Without it I lose my greatest strength, then it doesn't work, »said Arp and said that he couldn't handle sitting on the bench all at once.
