Guillermo Vallori. His knee is bandaged, his contract runs out, and Guillermo Vallori radiates into space. “The foot goes in one direction, the knee goes the other way, no stability,” he says to the scene just before the end when he tore the cruciate ligament and had to be carried from the field. He does not notice that his expression does not match the said. “.. For me today was the best home game There were so many spectators The second half was like a dream,” he says about this game that the TSV München von 1860 somehow 2: 1 had won. Also thanks to his door to 1:. 1 and a strong performance of the Spaniard

He will fight till you drop, he had said before the game. Rarely has a player has completed a normally therefore predicted phrase so. Vallori actually stood there like a warrior who was wounded in the fight for his club. Sounds too pathetic? Of course, this is completely excessive. But that was the scale of this game. Or as CEO Markus Rejek put it: “. Without wishing to be pathetic, it is here about one of the most important games in the history of TSV 1860 München”

“You’re pissed, disappointed,” said Captain Schindler

Of course, this game had to end with one of the most emotional moments in the club’s history. Spectators had been tears in his eyes, the players of lions were already at the kick-off point and knew that they would now have three or four minutes to prevent the almost certain crash in the third league. “You’re pissed at the moment, disappointed,” Captain Christopher Schindler said later. Then formed at once a grape on the sidelines that would change everything. But first things first.

2. Bundesliga emotional outbursts in Fröttmaning

despair, drama, great emotions: The 1860 hopes thanks to a competitive 2: 1 Derby victory against 1. FC Nürnberg continues to avoid relegation. Aalen is relegated mathematically – the KSC cheering in promotion race. Match Reports

One really forgets sometimes, spoken quite unemotionally how big the Giesing club, a realization. If all followers who usually frustrated by the board, the players, the arena, the management – in principle out of frustration over everything – stay at home, will find the way to their club. If then the 1. FC Nürnberg is the enemy and several thousand fans bring, then a second division backdrop of 68 500 spectators forms. That is – of course due to the unloved Arena – Europe, maybe the world, hard to beat

Fröhling sent his team on the field defensively.. Fearing the pressure?

Then was this game that should eventually decide about the crash in the third league place also on 17 May. The founding date of the lions. That’s the way (no joke) exactly 1860 months. When the big story is unpacked in football, then right. And if all that were not enough had been pressure, reminded the Ultras before the game even by Choregrafie to the European Cup final against West Ham United. The message: We were once at the top. Prevents now kindly that we sink to the bottom. In such an environment to deliver a football game that then yes quite banal consists of passing, shooting and duels, is almost impossible.

TSV coach Thorsten Fröhling seemed to have also fears that this pressure inhibit rather could and let the young players Marius Wolf, Korbinian Vollmann and Julian Weigl outside. He also sent his team into the field relatively defensive, because he reckoned that Nuremberg would take the initiative. 0 out ran until Vallori Nuremberg Danny Blum was concerned too hesitant and Niklas Stark just before the break the 1: Because the club the only conditionally einsah, a very unsightly for second division ratios game that actually on a 0 developed in the first half : 0 headed. “We have pulled together then us at half-time,” Daniel Adlung said later. That was true. He especially

With the experienced impeller, the Substitutes of Wolf and a significantly more aggressive style of play. – What was also 60 other choice? – Were actually the best minutes of the lions in the past games concluded. Two goals from Standard Vallori (header) and Adlung (penalty) gave the not undeserved lead in a logical sequence. At this time, handle the pathos. Suddenly 60 000 Lions fans in the stadium and help no load were. “You could see that they were then able to take the audience,” said Niklas Stark later to this stage.

But the emotional Jojo this game was the gateway and then but-not-goal from Dave Bulthuis for 2 :. 2 One could of Nuremberg really not accuse this game, which is indeed for them was about nothing more, not to be taken seriously. So were the reactions after the match. “Maybe the referee did bet on the game,” Bulthuis said even. And FCN coach René Weiler said in a small group after the press conference only: “. I can not make my thoughts public”

Drees two years ago acted like

When the Scene however times takes apart from cover to cover, then remains not so much left of the conspiracy theories that one might suspect behind these statements

The first:. Danny Blum gets the ball in midfield and plays good forward pass to the launched Bulthuis. Substitute Jakub Sylvestr is still on the ball, passes it and shoots a Bulthuis. The flag of linesman Christian Gittelmann stays down. The Nuremberg cheer, no one protested. Everyone in the stadium preparing for the offense, as referee Jochen Drees begins to discuss with his assistant. Nuremberg coach hamlet happens, also TSV motorsport boss Gerhard Poschner. Then Drees shows Nürnberg Gate and decides to off-side.

Drees and his team had done that once something like two years ago. Matchday 34 in the Bundesliga he took back a goal of Dortmunders Marcel Schmelzer because Robert Lewandowski was offside. Hoffenheim remained through this correct decision in the Bundesliga.

A reason to cheer for in 1860? Not by a long

This time it was a wrong decision, Drees was the later in a television interview. Unfortunately, he did not say how it had happened. However, it may very well be that linesman Gittelmann not see that Sylvestr was on the ball. Had the substitute striker had no contact with the ball, it would never have been offside. Possibly held the linesman the referee Drees just about consultation. Drees told his assistant that Sylvestr had the ball yet touched. Gittelmann decided with this information offside. In that case, it was even a wrong decision, but an incredibly scarce, as occurs from time to time.

And now? If 1860 München to six points from two games in which they 180 minutes only 30 convinced in principle, above the line. On the final day they need to score in Karlsruhe, if they do not want to be dependent on Aue or Frankfurt. Absence are thereby Gary Kagelmacher, valdet rama (both 5th yellow card) and Vallori, the Poschner Aberin presented the press release of the association to his injury a contract extension in view. “We must be clear that we have not achieved anything yet. In Karlsruhe, we still need ‘ne shovel drauflegen” Christopher Schindler said relatively quiet. He seems to be clear that, despite 68,000 spectators, despite all the pathos and despite the three points of the direct relegation to the third league is a very real scenario.
