"Hard shell, soft core", "YB DNA", "leader", "role model", "good friend". These are the words used by YB teammates to describe their number 1 after it was announced that David von Ballmoos had extended his contract with the Bernese club until 2027. The 29-year-old is a great figure of identification in Bern and - with the exception of a two-year loan to FC Winterthur - has spent his entire career at YB.
"He's super loyal to the club, he did his whole youth career here - there's not much like that in football anymore. He also looks after everyone in the dressing room, he's an absolute team player," said striker Cedric Itten in a club video with nothing but praise.
Captain Loris Benito goes into raptures: "You can really see Dävu's passion for the sport. He's always one of the first in the dressing room and one of the last to leave. He goes the extra mile, even off the pitch. He has a big heart and cares about his fellow human beings, which is very nice."
A "Bernese boy"
Lewin Blum makes it clear that he doesn't know YB without von Ballmoos. "Since I've been here at YB, I've always looked up to him. He's achieved a lot and since I got to know him, I've been able to learn a lot from him on and off the pitch," says the 23-year-old. And Saidy Janko says: "He's a real Bernese lad, a real worker. He gets stuck in and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty."
Von Ballmoos is delighted with the warm words from his team-mates. "It's nice to see what they see in me. I'm doing exactly the things they've highlighted now. It's nice to see that it's getting through." YB has always been a very special club for him. "It still is," says von Ballmoos, adding: "Then to see that you have an important role in the team really touches me and fills me with great pride."
