We will have another conversation in March.

The road Borussia is going to take in the future seems to be quite clear. Important key-players have to be sold and the young wild which are scattered in Germany’s professional leagues ought to come back. Today on Friday the „Bild-Zeitung“ reports a possible return of Florian Kringe. But what does he have to say himself? Kringe with schwatzgelb.de in an interview.


schwatzgelb.de: Hello Florian! Today the „Bild-Zeitung“ writes that you will return to the BVB.

Kringe: Really? What are they writing?

That you have said, that Michael Zorc has mentioned to your adviser that they would like to have you back again.

Hm, well that is a bit off the facts. It is true that Michael Zorc mentioned that one must talk about that point. There will be a conversation about that point with all sides also with Matthias Sammer sometime from the beginning to the middle of March. The fact that there is this time border till the 15th of March till which the BVB has to take the option is not a secret. I think there is no need to make an article out of it again.
What do you think about all this?

I am not quite sure. On the one hand Borussia Dortmund is the club I grew up with and which I associate many good memories with. On the other hand is the 1.FC Köln my first real professional Club and I really like it here.
Thus would be the best for you if others like the BVB had to decide what is going to happen to you in the future?

Well, this would probably be a strange possibility. I think that I must codecide, but for the time being I am not sure how I could move on.

Certainly you have also heard that the BVB is planning to get back the other borrowed players to create with you a young team.

Yes, that would be great . I know them all and I have also spoken to Timo Achenbach just recently. It is the same with him, everything is undecided. Apparently there have also been conversations along with Borussia, but no decision has been made so far. Don’t forget Emanuel Krontiris and Conor Casey. They are also great people. If all this was to happen, I would be quite happy about it.
Bayern Munich want Dede.

Yes, I have heard about that. He would fit well into their team. Dede is a great player. He knows all the tricks. It does not surprise me that Bayern would like to have him, especially as it is unknown what is going to happen to Lizerazu. I don’t think Bayern München are looking to win the Champions League with Tobias Rau on that position.
Achenbach would be a good man for Dede’s position.

True.

By the time you get back, the decision to sell Rosicky will have been made.

I am quite sure about that, whereas my position is to be seen rather in the positions of Frings and Kehl. Certainly, I have already played everything in the centerfield, but I am not a number '10' in that sense.

Anyway we would be glad to see you here again. This weekend you are going to be the first time with the 1.FC Köln in Dortmund. Take care, Florian!
