From Sara Peschke

The club bosses Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich before the Supercup do everything we can to fuel the rivalry between the two clubs. The importance of the duel on the court, however, is rather low.

Nevertheless that not everything shines in this game, in the line up of the German master and his vice against each other, could guess the last days.

Both teams took great pains, the growing importance of the encounter with PR-compatible formulations emphasized. Although one could argue about the sporting value, it is nevertheless the prestige duel in German football, “This is a competition that enjoys increasing attention abroad We measure ourselves with one of the best teams in the world. “said about Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp and his Munich colleague Josep Guardiola stressed beflissentlich:” I always look forward to these games “

the meantime farcical seeming dispute between the two club bosses, matches, transfers (from the perspective! Dortmund: player raids, this time to watch: Marco Reus) ensued unsurprisingly at the appropriate time. After Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on an allegedly at the end of the season a valid opt-out clause in the contract of Reus had omitted, advised him BVB sporting director Michael Zorc, “just to shut up,” Matthias Sammer countered from Munich: “We are guided by prohibit anyone’s mouth. “

” Profound disharmony “

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke then proposed an invitation from the DFL lunch together before the game in Dortmund because of “profound disharmony” from. The Supercup-makers should clinch this open-staging come in handy, but they want like to offer viewers the Dortmund stadium sold out for weeks a little show. And since the game only conditionally good for this year to the footballing yardstick, as it was once thought the rivalry between the two clubs just have to be kept alive on a different level.

For with Bayern and Dortmund meet those Bundesliga teams who still suffer most from the impact of the World Cup in Brazil. “We’re going to go there, to show a good game. Overstate But we are not there,” said Rummenigge. He was referring to the difficult personnel situation of Munich, where Rafinha, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Franck Ribery failed injured. The six world champions and the other World Cup participants Dante and Arjen Robben have hitherto poorly trained after their return, Thiago is still not healthy. “We only have eight, nine players fit, not more. It’s hard, because a list to find,” Guardiola said.

On the opposite side of the new Dortmund captain Mats Hummels and not yet ready for use again Reus missing. “A victory over the Bavarians would improve the feel, but had relatively little impact on the season. A year ago we have won this game against Bayern, but were at the end but a couple of points behind it,” Klopp said. “Whoever wins, can look forward properly. And whoever loses must not grieve so mad.” Although both coaches so do not want to admit it: A lot more than a test run with great attention will hardly be this game

Lewandowski return

Except for Robert. Lewandowski. The New Bayer returns for the first time since his move to Dortmund, about three months after his last competitive game for BVB. “That is for me this time a different feeling when I am a guest in this stadium,” he said, but worries he will not do himself. Unlike Mario Götze, the most BVB fans have the change from Dortmund to Munich not forgiven last summer, the Pole is still treated with respect: “People will accept him as they passed him,” said his former teammate Sebastian Kehl.

It fits this picture: While the club superiors do everything to maintain the rivalry between the two clubs, the players understand the place better than before, and by the time together in Brazil. So Dortmund’s Kevin Grosskreutz said recently in the “Welt am Sonntag” about his relationship with Schweinsteiger: “We have become pals.” On the club bosses that currently applies to rather less.
