Schäfer Reacts to Aebischer Signing
Union Berlin has signed Michel Aebischer, a midfielder. András Schäfer, the current number 10 of the Irons, reacts to the signing with humor: "In four and a half seasons, I had at least 30 competitors. And I'm still here." Schäfer jokes that he's looking forward to the competition.
What does it mean for Union?
The signing of Aebischer means that Schäfer's position as number 10 is in question. The Hungarian can also be used defensively, but Aljoscha Kemlein and Rani Khedira are set as a double six. Schäfer recalls a similar situation when Janik Haberer joined Union and Schäfer competed for the number 10 position.
What's next?
Union Berlin is currently 11th in the Bundesliga with 39 points. The Irons are 50 points behind the leaders Bayern Munich. Last game: Union Berlin 4-0 FC Augsburg (2026-05-16). The Irons are on a 2-game winning streak and have 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 games.
