WERDER.DE: In the last few weeks the team has been picking up points consistently. Are you disappointed to only be watching from the sidelines or are you pleased with the developments that have been going on?
Fin Bartels: “First and foremost, it has been huge the way that we have almost climbed our way out of danger. We have made a huge step and you can see the developments we have made as a team. All of that is extremely important for us. After the summer though, I am hoping to no longer be a spectator to all of it."
WERDER.DE: You have been at the club for the last four years. What is your best memory from that time?
Fin Bartels: “It has been four years full of highs and lows; from relegation battles to dreams of being in Europe. Above all I remember the Frankfurt game when we managed to stay up in the last seconds but as well playing in front of the Green White Wonderwall, they were both real highs that I will never forget."
WERDER.DE: Is there any particular goal that sticks out in your memory even today?
Fin Bartels: “In truth there has been so many it’s hard to pick one out (laughs). The goal from a corner against Stuttgart a couple of years ago was really beautiful and important too, or the move against Leverkusen with four or five passes and then the finish from Davie Selke. Yeah there’s been a few good one but they are definitely not the last."
