Aissa Laidouni (26) has been with Union Berlin for almost a month. The midfielder has arrived well at the Köpenickers.
This week, the Franco-Tunisian Laidouni with Ajax Amsterdam and Bayern Munich two very important games in front of the chest. In advance, Laidouni talked about …
… Berlin: It’s a very big city that I like very much. I’ve been to a few parks too. I live with my wife and children. You are coming to Berlin next month when my apartment is ready.
…Union: I am very happy to be here. It was always my goal to play in the Bundesliga. Now I have the chance and I want to use it. I have to learn a lot and listen as the coach and the team want.
“Fischer protects his players”
… Urs Fischer: I have a good impression, we spoke before I came here. I have a very good feeling working with him and the team. He is very close with his players. He protects the players so that they fight with him. That’s one of his qualities.
… his football path: My story is very original. But I’m proud of it. I learned a lot during my time in Romania and Hungary. Especially in Romania I learned a lot about life. This is more important than football. It strengthened me mentally a lot.
“Would have preferred to lose against France”
… the World Cup in Qatar: The group stage match against France was a very special game. Yes, we won it, but I would rather have lost it and gone one round.
… Tunisia: The feeling decided. I could also have played for Algeria or France. The coach made me feel important. I hope we have a good future and maybe win a big title.
… Ajax Amsterdam: It’s the most important game ever. We have to believe in it. I think 100 percent that we can win it.
… Bavaria: We have the same score. It’s great to have a game like this. We don’t need to be afraid. We have a lot of quality. You saw that against Leipzig. We need courage and confidence, then we can achieve something. But first comes the Ajax game. We have to believe in it.
… the table: It’s not normal that we’re up there. Bayern, Dortmund or Leipzig would be normal. But if we are in a good position. The boys did very well in the first half of the season. We are here and we want to continue like this.
… three titles: Yes why not. I believe we can achieve great things. You just have to work hard every day. Then anything can happen. I believe in that.
… his passes with the outside of his foot: I don’t play with the outside of the foot because it looks nice. But because it is the best pass at the moment.
