Berlin (dpa) - Captain Christopher Trimmel warns of too high expectations of 1. FC Union after the good season performance so far.
“You have to say that we have achieved something extraordinary this season,” said the 34-year-old on “rbb24.de”.
In the second season in the Bundesliga, the iron fighters are still fighting for a European starting place.
“But I also believe that you have to slow down a few people.
It will be very, very difficult to top that next season, ”emphasized Trimmel.
First, however, the Austrian international wants to continue the fight for Europe with the current eighth table. “The starting position is difficult, but I don't think there is an easy starting position in the last three games,” said Trimmel, “but our program with Wolfsburg, Leverkusen and Leipzig doesn't sound that easy, I'm that honest. We know that we need a very good day with all three opponents. " Depending on the outcome of the cup final, seventh place could be enough for a qualification for the newly created Conference League.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Trimmel also looks beyond football and knows how to properly classify the privileges of professional footballers.
«I can even see it in my street here in Berlin.
One business after the other is struggling to survive.
I know most people personally and try to help.
When you realize that it is about livelihoods, you feel different, "said the right-back," then you appreciate the fact that you can continue to practice your profession all the more.

Football can give a lot back to “people in this sensitive time” and be a welcome change for the fans.
"But you have to be careful where the line is, and I think we crossed the line sometimes," said Trimmel.
“The icing on the cake was the Super League.
In the reaction you could feel the strength and power of the football fans and football romantics.
So I'm glad that this side of football won. "
