Career
Friessen played in the early 1970s with Atlas as a Center Forward debuting only two games, later on he made the transfer to Chivas de Guadalajara. There was some legal dispute whether he would be allowed to play on a team that is only exclusive to Mexicans born athletes. The fans did not seem to care if he played or not.
For the 1973-1974 season, Friessen was transferred to Tecos UAG, who were playing in the Second Division, and became league champions with them, earning the promotion to the Primera División. Halfway through the 1970s, Friessen's parents considered and decided that football was not their son's future thus the early retirement of Friessen.
