A small conversation with higher powers has then been added Ralph Hasenhüttl. Please rise not only because the others slip up, so in about his prayer to have gelautet. Exactly but he could not remember it after all the beer showers. If you like it blame him
After the 2: 1 (1: 1) against RB Leipzig was not just the first Bundesliga promotion of club history on its own power managed. Hasen Hüttls FC Ingolstadt is one game left in the season as second division champions determined.
That the Leipzig Spring took the lead that Ingolstadt initially difficult did that everything was already matter. Mathew Leckie had equalized in the first half with a penalty, scored the winning goal Stefan Lex later. The rest was Ingolstadt happiness, a party with beer and bubbly, with sheer exuberant emotions in a city where things get very quiet usually.
headwind from Mainz
So much euphoria, the rise in Ingolstadt also kindled. So much more economical are expected to be 54 in which one or another Bundesliga club, the emotional outbursts over Bundesliga membership number.
Already last autumn had Mainz manager Christian Heidel even worried about the attractiveness of the league. He did not know “whether Ingolstadt electrified against Hoffenheim the country”, he had etched.
There it was again, the debate about tradition and modernity in order leveraged upstarts and ailing clubs with dazzling history. And in the middle of the FC Ingolstadt, founded in 2004, as a merger of two feuding Altklubs, which neither the one nor the other camp belonging feels and can absolutely nothing to do with the conceptual work of the club with which he is now dubbed over again.
Audi has pretty much anywhere shares
If they talk at FC Ingolstadt on their club, then this happens in the best marketing German. From a “ten year old child,” which is still growing, they say. There are words such as reputable and visionary. A club with strong partners is one, above all, self-determined.
The latter sounds superficially good. Just find it hard to believe. The local carmaker Audi is not only the main sponsor. Through a subsidiary it holds 19.94 percent of the shares. The Supervisory Board is dominated by members with an Audi-Vita. Even the stadium and training ground, including highly decorated junior center and function building paid the group.
And yet limping comparisons with clubs like RB Leipzig. Ingolstadt is not pimped with millions Team. “It’s way too cheap to limit our results that we have a great main sponsor,” says Captain Marvin Matip.
With rabbits Hüttls authenticity against the Werkself Image
Who wants to approach the rapid ascent of the club, quickly lands with coach Ralph Hasenhüttl. As a “figurehead of the club” called Matip the charismatic Austrian. One that it took me to convince all the skeptics in their own city.
Hasenhüttl knows how to capture grantelnde Bavaria. A chat at the training ground, a quick hello during fan meetings. That depends, as it does not affect placed. Because he vorlässt PR phrases of the industry outside. He himself admits error nonchalantly in the public one, as recently, when he his tactics at 1: “a handle in the toilet,” called 1 against Nuremberg
Basically, its authenticity is a godsend for the club in the wooing of an image far removed from the potent financiers. Even with Jürgen Klopp Hasenhüttl has been compared. Although this is a little far fetched, remains considerable, which the 47-year-old has created in Ingolstadt.
When he came in October 2013 was the Club Table, at the end of last season in tenth. And now he is at the top. His team has eingebimst Hasenhüttl courageous tempo football and issued the motto: “Even if the end result does not fit, should any of our games to be an experience.”
With attractive Game one must try to attract new audiences, he has said. And it will probably take some time until you win back the lost generations of fans.
Stadium only three times sold out
The still rudimentary fan culture can not be denied in Ingolstadt. Since the 8th round of the club is consistently ranked one. The interest in the city but is still manageable. Only the third time the 15,800-capacity stadium was sold out against Leipzig. On average 9,600 fans, and that’s only because the superiors enlisted in winter with a clever action: season ticket holders will have first refusal for the coming season
. One need not be a prophet in order to claim that with a rise of all 17 home games will be sold out. Only abroad is likely to so some people feel reminiscent of the Heidel-argument from the fall.
In Ingolstadt they always refer this to their still young history. Since 2010, only the FCI plays in the second division. The once envisaged development is the club with the rise anyway ahead.
No ludicrous actions in the transfer market
From the “policy of small steps”, says sports director Thomas Linke. The former national team since 2011 is in office. Sustainable work, sound management, no crazy things in the transfer market – these are keywords that he uses and to achieve sustainability in the Bundesliga
The. overall budget will increase to 40 million euros during the ascent of 20, also the players budget is expected to double from the current 8.5 million euros at least probably. These are not excessive amounts. Already in the second division Ingolstadt was not of Croesus, in the Bundesliga you will be on one of the lowest ranks in this rating. “This is from the first to the last day a struggle for survival,” says Captain Matip.
to establish itself in the Bundesliga, will be the next step. Just as last Augsburg and in the 2000s also managed Mainz. In Ingolstadt they see parallels.
was as coach Hasenhüttl again confronted with the Heidel-looking statements in the autumn, because it countered the tradition debate with an episode of his professional time. He did not, as he had once played with Cologne on Mainzer Bruchweg, fans even before 2000. “Because there then not interested”.
And as Mainz then first promotion to the Bundesliga, “lost to Frankfurt, Munich and Cologne three traditional clubs for Mainz small place. You should give us a chance to be able to deny a similar path. “
