After ten years, the time of Pavel Kaderábek ends at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The farewell is close to the Czech. Tears also flow.
Pavel Kaderábek said goodbye to Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim with an emotional video. The Czech and the TSG go separate paths from this summer, as the club announced. The expiring contract is therefore not extended.
“Unfortunately, after an incredible ten years, the trip comes to an end,” said Kaderábek in a video that the Hoffenheimers published on social media. The 33-year-old had to fight tears again and again. “This club will always stay here in my heart,” said Kaderábek, who would have liked to stay with TSG. With a shaky voice he added: “And I will never forget this time.”
Kaderábek switched from Sparta Prague to TSG in July 2015. The right -back not only developed into a regular player, but also into an identification figure. “I stay a fan of this club forever,” said Kaderábek.
He had “shaped an era at Hoffenheim,” said Managing Director Andreas Schicker. “The door at TSG will always be open to Pavel and we would all be very happy to welcome him again in a different role here in Hoffenheim after his active career.”
Diadié Samassékou’s expiring contract is also not extended, as the Kraichgauer announced. “Diadié certainly lived through a mixed time at TSG Hoffenheim, but has put himself in the service of the team at all times and behaved perfectly in character,” said Schicker.
Samassékou was repeatedly slowed down by injuries, “so that he could no longer get the season that he might have deserved,” added Schicker. The professional from Mali has been under contract with TSG since 2019, but was also awarded twice in this phase.
The two loan players Jakob Busk and David Jurasek and Christopher Lenz also have no future at the TSG. Immediately after the 0: 4 against FC Bayern Munich, functionally fancier made it clear that coach Christian Ilzer would also be a coach at Hoffenheim after the summer break. “You have to give him the time to have a longer preparation to change something. That was brutally difficult in the season,” said Schicker.
