1. FC Union Berlin is starting the new Bundesliga season with prominent newcomers such as Robin Gosens and Kevin Volland. But that’s not the only reason why the competition should keep an even closer eye on the club than before.
After the first few meters as the new professional of 1. FC Union Berlin on the lawn of the stadium An der Alten Försterei, Robin Gosens disappeared again. Just like the rest of the Bundesliga squad. To warm up, they left the stadium under the analogue scoreboard, where around 2,500 fans had gathered for public training on Wednesday. Half an hour later Gosens and his new teammates came back. And it got loud in the mood temple of Berlin-Köpenick, where Gosens should make his Bundesliga debut against FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday.
It is the start of what is probably the most exciting season for Union Berlin – although with promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019, staying up in the league, reaching the Europa League and now the Champions League, the club has already had exciting and successful years. “I’ve always said that it’s my dream to play in Germany and the Bundesliga one day. Union’s last few years have been impressive, and you could see that abroad, too,” said Gosens.
