After the 2-1 at RB Leipzig last Saturday, Union coach Urs Fischer had confirmed what had been indicated in the past few weeks: Fredrik Rönnow is the new number 1 of the table sixth, who is on Friday (8:30 p.m., live! at Urs Fischer) the bottom of Fürth receives.
The Dane had already replaced the previous stem keeper Andreas Luthe in the past five competitive games, who had made one or the other mistake and who had been lacking injury and illness since the 0: 4 at Bayern in mid-March. Luthe had returned to the squad on Saturday in Leipzig, but had had to take a seat on the bench. On Tuesday after the training, in which Timo Baumgartl and Andras Schäfer, who suffered according to clubs, did not take part, Frederik Rönnow now answered the questions of journalists.
Frederik Rönnow about:
… The months as number 2 behind Andreas Luthe and his now carried out promotion to the goalkeeper:
"In the beginning it wasn't that easy for me. But that's how football is. Andi did it very well. The most important thing is the team and it works very well all season. Now I get my chance. I have a good feeling. I think I deserve the chance. "
... his balance sheet, since Union has lost only Daspokal semi-final at RB Leipzig (1: 2) in the goal of twelve competitive games:
"It's just me... (laughs) No, we do it great as a team. How we defend is amazing. I only have to hold three or four balls. What we do is great. So we have to go on."
I am who I am - a quiet guy

... the question of how Luthe reacted to the change and whether there were talks between the two goalkeepers:
"This is football. Of course he is not satisfied. But I was also in the situation and had the respect for him. We didn't drink coffee now."
... his very calm appearance and the question of whether it may sometimes be too quiet:
"I don't know. I am who I am - a quiet guy. Maybe at the beginning I would have to get out of me in a new club. But that's not so easy for me."
... the question of whether he is number 2 in the Danish national team behind regular keeper Kasper Schmeichel or the number 3:
"This is not so important in Denmark, only one thing is playing... I think I'm usually number 2. I have not had much game practice in Germany in recent years. That is why this is now so important for me, to play at Union. "
... Denmark's undisputed number 1 Kasper Schmeichel:
"He wants to play all games. He is a top goalkeeper. Of course I hope that I will get more caps. But Kasper is the clear number 1."
Of course I don't hope Kasper will play the next five or six years, but you never know that.
Frederik Rönnow about Kasper Schmeichel
... The question of how he can stand in the national team since November 2020 only sitting on the bench, even in friendly games:
"The national team is the greatest. You can play for your country. I also have to say that this group we have is incredible. We were in the semi-finals of the European Championship, we also did well in the World Cup qualification. The mood is always great. It's a bit like coming home. "
... his perspective in the club and in the national team, since Schmeichel and Luthe are 35 years old:
"I'm not looking ahead that far. Of course I don't hope that Kasper will play for the next five or six years, but you never know. Of course, it is (number 1 in Denmark, i.e. Red.) Goal. But I am realistic and know that Kasper is the clear number 1. I have now played five games in a row for Union, I didn't play so much before. I have to get more game practice. "
