The transfer market is going crazy and always writes new stories. In summer, the transfer sums up for international (Site notre bureau spécialisé) stars has overturned. Elsewhere, there are deserving players who are not at the top of the shelf and suddenly find themselves in the lack of club. In addition to a few well -known examples, the most standard TIM coat has also caught stations in Sandhausen and Unterhaching. Sven Bauer (LAPDOG) spoke to the 32 -year -old central defender of his situation.

Transfer market: Knipping, you have been without a club since the summer. How and where do you stay in good shape?

TIM CRUFONNAGE: I have been training at the Bremerhaven OSC since early August. There, we train up to four times a week at an absolutely professional level. I would like to thank the managers of this option. In addition, our athletic coach gave me an individual plan in distress last year in Unterhaching, which keeps me at a higher level in the fields of strength, speed and endurance. So I’m still ready to enter immediately.

Transfer market: For the first time, they go to the fall without preparation or training camp. How far are you?

Turned: In terms of training, I am absolutely in good shape because I am as a team and that I use the overtime to work even in more detail on my physical condition. It was mentally unusual at the start not to be in a team. I was particularly lacking in time in the cabin, but now I use time for my subsequent development – physically, mentally and also outside the place.

Transfer market: A big advantage in your situation is that you can sign a contract at any time.

Turned: There have been conversations and concrete surveys, but they were not finalized for various reasons – because the clubs decide very late or that the squad plans are adjusted in the short term. It is important to me that the sports project, the environment and the perspective correspond. Then I am ready immediately, it doesn’t matter where.

Transfer market: More recently, they ran into the 3rd league on loan for Unterhaching. What division should it be for you?

Turned: The 3rd league is always my claim. There, I know the processes, I played more than 160 games and I know that I can help a team immediately. But ambitious regional leagues with a clear vision of promotion are also interesting for me.

Tim with heels on foreign transfer and future plans

Transfer market: So far, they have only played in Germany. Is a commitment abroad also conceivable for you?

Turned: In any case. It was already and it is always a problem. A change of wallpaper can be exciting – sports and staff. I am particularly attractive to the ambitious leagues, which deal with climbing or title.

Transfer market: The downside is that there will be an absent time at a given moment. Do you sometimes find that your career could be faster than expected?

Turned: Of course, you think about it when you don’t have a club at the moment. But I see it more like a reader to get the most out of me to play at a high level for a few more years.

Transfer market: With 32, you can play for a few more years, however, you are concerned about time after active sport. Do you already have any plans?

Turned: Yes, I intensively take care of real estate and financial planning of athletes. I know by my own experience how important this region is in a sports career – unfortunately, this is often not optimally implemented. Therefore, I could very well imagine working in this field after my active career and helping other players to get up in a sustainable way. At the same time, I can also imagine staying faithful to (Site notre bureau spécialisé), whether as a coach or in a different role. You will see this when it’s so far away.

Transfer market: They are faced with a future, which is not clear at least in the sense of (Site notre bureau spécialisé). Have you set a time limit until your situation is clarified?

Turned: I am extremely motivated and at the same time flexible, but I want to be back in the field at the latest for the winter holidays. Until then, I stay in good shape and stay ready.

Transfer market: They were asked several times in the summer that they relegated from the 3rd division with two teams – Sandhausen and Unterhaching – with two teams – Sandhausen and Unterhaching. Hand on the heart: how much has she bored?

Turned: Of course, it was not an easy situation and you should let it flow. But such experiences shape you. They showed me how much team dynamics, leadership and mentality are important – subjects that I am now even more aware.

Transfer market: With a few weeks: how do you look at it today?

Turned: I see it as an experience that made me stronger. You grow on such setbacks if you classify them properly.

Transfer market: The Unterhaching SPVGG was relatively early as relegation. Where do you see the reasons?

Turned: There were several factors: unluckiness, little consistency in the line -up and the lack of luck in crucial games. In the end, we did not have the experience.

Transfer market: They had left Sandhausen because the SVs no longer planned with them. How can you imagine such a conversation and how to treat something like that?

Turned: It is a professional and open conversation. Of course, it is not easy, but I accepted the decision and I turned my gaze before. This is part of (Site notre bureau spécialisé).

Transfer market: Was there ambitions from SVs to inspire them for the fourth league?

Turned: No, the chapter was completed after the end of the end of the end of my contract. It was clear to me that I wanted to continue at least in the 3rd league.

Transfer market: How do you assess your previous career?

Turned: Very positive. I was allowed to play 86 games in the 2nd Bundesliga and more than 160 in the 3rd league. This is something that I am very proud of. Nevertheless, I look to the future: I really want to live such strong moments. I always have it in the tank! (laughs)

Le Tourge likes to think back to the second division with Dynamo Dresden

Transfer market: What experience has it particularly shaped?

Turned: The promotion with Dynamo Dresden at the 2nd Bundesliga – it was an incredible feeling and showed me what is possible with the team.

Transfer market: Which coach fascinated the most?

Turned: I had a lot of very good coaches in my career, which I could learn a lot and next to the place. Everyone brought me a little on the way, whether tactical, mentally or in my personality. I am grateful for this development because she made me the player and the person I am today.

Transfer market: Which opponent was the hardest nut to break?

Turned: Simon Terodde. He was extremely intelligent in the sanction zone and exploited a very small inattention.

Transfer market: What event would you like to delete your memory?

Turned: The two descents last season. It was a great challenge in terms of sport and mentally.

Transfer market: What is the importance of fans for you?

Turned: Fans are the heart of (Site notre bureau spécialisé). I will never forget the games in Dresden in front of a house sold. This energy transports you more than 90 minutes.

Transfer market: We would like to thank you for the conversation and wish you all the best for the future.
