Claudio Pizarro has missed football. "Being on the pitch something completely different - for us it is very important to work with the ball," said the Werder forward, when asked about last week’s individual training programme. Despite the lack of football due to Coronavirus, the Peruvian veteran has not lost his focus: "I am fully focused. We will try everything to avoid relegation." 

Health is of top priority, as Werder’s record goalscorer pointed out. "But football is our job. It is important that we are all fit and well prepared for what may lie ahead," he added. Should it come to playing games behind closed doors, "we will obviously miss the support of our fans, but we would accept the situation and try to win every game," said Pizarro in Tuesday morning’s online press conference.

As for his retirement this summer, the 41-year-old is not concerning himself with the topic. A testimonial has been planned, but the thought is not crossing his mind at all, nor is a potential role as an ambassador after his professional career. "I’ll think about this after the season ends. My concentration is 100 percent on Werder." Claudio Pizarro is living in the moment.
