Nils Petersen: Football saying of the year inspires the fans!

The football world is celebrating a special moment: Nils Petersen, SC Freiburg's record goalscorer, has won the coveted title of "Football Saying of the Year 2025". This happened as part of the gala of the German Football Culture Awards in Nuremberg SC Freiburg reported. The saying with which Petersen has prevailed is: “I used to watch 80 minutes, today I watch 90.” This funny remark was well received by the audience and allowed him to win against greats like Lothar Matthäus, whose saying “Then the dice will be reshuffled” was also on the ballot. The decision was made in an exciting vote in which the audience had the final say.

Petersen, who currently plays for Sportfreunde Oberried II in the district league B, is also active as a TV expert for the streaming provider DAZN. Despite being over 30 years old, the striker shows that he can still shine on the pitch. In these five games he has already scored 11 goals and 6 assists, including two impressive four-packs. This shows that he is also very successful in the amateur sector and passes on his experience. This is reported by the Swabian Post.

A new youth word

But Petersen is not only causing a stir in the world of football. The youth word of the year 2025 is “Das crazy”, which is used as an expression for speechlessness. Langenscheidt-Verlag emphasizes that this word is a true all-purpose weapon for expressing one's own astonishment or surprise in various situations. A new trend that Petersen will certainly include in his interviews and analyses.

One wonders what the future holds for SC Freiburg. Aside from Petersen's award, two of the club's talents, Mladen Mijajlovic and Théodore Pizarro, also have great potential. They are currently taking part in the U17 World Cup in Qatar, taking place from November 3rd to 27th, 2025. Germany, as defending champions, is also in the running and could provide exciting moments.

Awards and successes from current events

It's an exciting year for SC Freiburg! The Freiburg Elite School of Sports was honored as “Elite School of the Year 2024” and sets standards in the integration of competitive sports and everyday school life. The German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) and the Sparkasse Finance Group presented this award, a clear proof of the excellent work being done there.

Who couldn't think about the next Bundesliga game? SC Freiburg will face Union Berlin on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Fans can look forward to an exciting match and hope for their team's performance, while in the meantime the football nonsense surrounding Nils Petersen and his awards continues.
