(Blic) Just in early September, Silvan Waller (22) took the step toward another country and was transferred from FC Zurich to the Austrian Bundesliga team Blau-Weiss Linz. But now the period has come to an end too.
According to information from “Blic”, Switzerland's U21 player has suddenly decided to end his immediate professional career.
However, it does not involve serious injury. The player from Zurich has decided to take this step voluntarily because of his faith. Waller is a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist “Kress.
Like Judaism, the Sabbath is valued as a day of rest that offers time for union with God. Work, even playing soccer, is forbidden.
After moving in the summer, Waller has quickly returned to launch at the Austrian team. Last weekend he missed the team for the first time. Officially the club announced he was sick. Blau-Weiss Linz said he couldn't provide any more information.
Waller developed into the Zurich Club's youth system. He played 51 matches for the adult team and was part of the championship team in the 2021/2022 edition. The footballer from the town of Zurich was in the field for Switzerland U21 in September in the match against Albania.
Waller's decision to give up football calls to mind former Swiss striker and Zurich's current assistant, Johann Vonlanthen (38). When he moved to Colombia in 2011, he had a clause on the contract that he was not supposed to play at any match Saturday.
