When Torsten Frings finally hangs up his Werder jersey following Thursday's game against SV Wilhelmshaven, an exciting time will begin for him. It has to do with his future. "I have put everything out there - from adventure to Bundesliga. This is no decision you make in a couple of minutes," said Werder's captain, who also has the option of ending his playing career. "Of course that is still a possibility. I would like to play one more year but I don't absolutely have to add on one more season. Everything from A to Z has to fit. It doesn't bring anything just to say yes anywhere and then have stomach aches two months later. I will work through the offers and accept the one that feels right. I will do it in a relaxed manner."

Should Frings decide for the end of his career, he will not immediately move into the offered coaching training. "I have been in this business so long that I want to take a half-year off. You have to work through everything, just breathe a sigh of relief," said Frings, who would take an example from Werder's previous captain Frank Baumann, who also took six months off after ending his career in 2009.

What is set is that the game at SV Wilhelmshaven will be the last one for the legendary Werder No. 22, making it a special date for "Lutscher". "It will be a strange situation when my Werder Bremen chapter is over with. In my head I have already accepted that. Some time it just has to end," said Frings, who wants to remain with Werder afterwards. "I go with the knowledge that I have done a very good job here and will naturally continue to cross my fingers for the team - even as a visitor."
