Ron-Thorben Hoffman has reflected on his first Christmas outside of Germany, and his loan spell overall so far...
XMAS
“So Christmas should take place quite differently this year for the Hoffmann family. In fact, for the first time in my 22 years, we didn’t celebrate together with the whole family in Germany. But one after another."
BREAK
“The international break in mid-November came at just the right time to recalibrate us. I recharged my batteries with my family in Germany for 48 hours and am returning to the Stadium of Light with energy."
ARSENAL
“The game at Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals is a real highlight. It’s just a shame that I don’t play what, of course, as a competitive athlete I always want."
BURGE
"But, as agreed, it’s Lee Burge’s turn at the Emirates Stadium. He plays the cup and has made a major contribution to ensuring that we are even allowed to go to London. I support him, just like he does for me."
HAPPY
“I am quite happy with my first few months on the island. We are (again) on the way up, seven times in 19 games I was able to keep my box clean. I think I can build on that."
2022
"I thank all fans on the island and in Germany for the great support and say: I wish you all you dreams come true in 2022 - and stay healthy.”
