Philipp Treu returns: An emotional reunion at the Millerntor!
Next Sunday, November 10th, the time has finally come: Philipp Treu returns to his old place of work, the Millerntor, as a SC Freiburg player. The 25-year-old is full of anticipation and will be on the pitch for the clash with his former club, FC St. Pauli, at 3:30 p.m. The same atmosphere that characterized him last season will now be revived.
Treu, who left FC St. Pauli last summer, not only made a decisive contribution to the Kiezkicker's relegation in the first Bundesliga, but also had a great bond with his former teammates and the coaching team. A farewell that was difficult for him because he would have liked to imagine another season in Hamburg. Nevertheless, the move to SC Freiburg appealed to him - not least because of the opportunity to play on the international stage. He has already taken advantage of this opportunity in the Europa League and describes the experience as very special.
From the neighborhood to Breisgau
Freiburg presented a new challenge for Treu, and he quickly settled in. In the first half of the season he has already played three times in the Europa League and has also proven his qualities in the Bundesliga. So the move has turned out to be good business for Treu, as he can continue to attract attention at Freiburg while also cementing his place in the football world.
“I'm really keen to see each other again, both with the boys and with the coach,” said the defender, who still maintains friendly ties with his former teammates in Hamburg. It will be exciting to see to what extent the encounter will be personal and sporting for him. Playing in front of the loyal fans of FC St. Pauli again sends a wave of memories through him.
A look at the performance data
Last season, Treu was an indispensable part of the Pauli defense. His performances got the club through difficult times and ultimately ensured survival in the league. Here is some of his previous data:
| Competition | Missionary | Goals |
|---|---|---|
| Bundesliga | 25 | 1 |
| Europa League | 3 | 0 |
His achievements have made him very popular in the football scene and it remains to be seen what his future path will be. FC St. Pauli can be proud of a former player like Treu, who is ready to start the next chapter in his career.
On Sunday the whole scene in front of the Millerntor will show how great the love for football is. Treu is ready to take on this challenge and at the same time give the fans a piece of his journey. He will play at the home game with the heart of a former Kiezkier.
