Union Berlin is looking to a fresh-faced kid from Medford, New Jersey, for experience as it embarks on its first-ever Champions League season.
“I’ll be willing to take that leadership role, and tell the guys not to worry that much because I was kind of in the same situation with Salzburg, kind of the underdogs,” Aaronson said this week. “That’s the kind of mentality we have to have going into the Champions League.”since it earned its first promotion to the Bundesliga in 2019. But even so, qualifying for the Champions League by finishing fourth in Germany was a surprise.
Aaronson, a member of last year’s U.S. World Cup team who has 32 international appearances, said playing in the Champions League was “a bonus” and that he had been looking at the overall picture when he joined Union. Aaronson played for the Philadelphia Union’s second-tier Bethlehem Steel at age 16 in 2017, made his Major League Soccer debut two years later, and transferred to Salzburg in 2021. He helped Salzburg win an Austrian league and reach the Champions League — scoring seven goals in 42 appearances over 1 1/2 seasons — but experienced opposite emotions with Leeds, which was relegated from the Premier League last season.
Aaronson has already shown in preseason what he can offer Union in a playmaking role, taking the ball forward quickly and bringing teammates along, setting up goal opportunities for an attacking lineup that will be further boosted by former Germany forward“I feel like we’re going to have a really good season just based on the players we’re bringing in, the players that we have,” Aaronson said. “You need depth to play in these leagues.
