15:16 clock By Sven Goldmann

The Cup victory of VfL Wolfsburg has a lot to do with Dieter Hecking. There were initially doubts about the ability of the coach. But who are scattered at the latest after this season.

Then there is the matter of the cap. Dieter Hecking she wears in the evening of his triumph like a crown, so is indeed “King” on it. “If you have five children, then has a always some stupid idea,” said the coach of VfL Wolfsburg and tells how his son for lunch at the hotel with the King Cap arrived asking: “Dad, if you’re going to cup winners today, then you have to put this thing “. Because Dieter Hecking is not only a successful coach, but also a good father, he has fulfilled the request and sits now as King of Wolfsburg in the catacombs of the Olympic Stadium, a good hour or so after that 3: 1 victory in the final of the DFB Cup over Borussia Dortmund.

He does at this moment nothing of the perfidious attack on the new monarchy by the Mittellandkanal, carried out by three figures, that come crawling in his back. This is a multinational conspiracy from Brazil, Portugal and the Black Forest. Daniel Caligiuri secures the withdrawal, Vieirinha was an empty beer bottle in his hand and Naldo a huge wheat beer glass, the content of which he so powerfully emptied through King Dieter as he is accustomed to execute his free kicks. “That’s it with the cap,” said Hecking.

That the White Beer assassination is stolen from Munich, by the kings of all the celebration beasts that even any of her numerous triumphs with a celebrated sticky shower for the coach. The message behind the Wolfsburg remake can be well understood as a verklausulierte challenge: We can celebrate like you, and we can win! Behind the cup victory Berlin is more than an appreciation of the club’s trophy cabinet.

It is the new Wolfsburg self, for a changed mentality of the whole society. That there in the shadow of the Volkswagen plant a new giant could grow, it has been suggested in recent years often. But happened despite millionaire investment little, apart from the fallen from the time the German Championship 2009, in Wolfsburg hardly anyone speaks of herself because she had as good as no failed to produce any sustainability.

Dieter Hecking can win titles. “I have shown myself”

This time it’s different, and this has much to do with Dieter Hecking. The at first glance so stuffy acting Fußballlehrer, for the project Wolfsburg a number appeared to be too big for two and a half years ago, acquired him the freshly tilled manager Klaus Allofs from Nuremberg. All doubts about his abilities, he has scattered the latest this year. Dieter Hecking has grounded the project Wolfsburg and it gives approval ratings as . would never have been possible under the notorious spendthrift Felix Magath

This season also came the success to in the form of sovereign qualifying for the Champions League, garnished with outstanding games as the 4: . 1 on the Bayern Since Saturday, VfL is also cup winner and would be a self-soothing for team management and the coaching knowledge. Dieter Hecking can win titles, “I have shown myself,” he says at night of Berlin, “I wanted to get with the latest 50 years a title”, and the Cup was his last chance before the 51st birthday in September.

More on the lawn of the Olympic Stadium him Wolfsburg manager Klaus Allofs arms around his neck. “It was quite difficult,” says Hecking in the slightly ironic tone, which stands for its development in recent years. Just as the VfL has grown into a serious challenger of FC Bayern, the coach has gained in stature. “It is a building block of this team that can step on the gas for 90 minutes and is always well prepared tactically,” said Allofs. “This is the work of Dieter Hecking.”

And what makes this team for an exciting football! With stars like the well on Saturday outstanding again Belgians Kevin De Bruyne and the Brazilian Luiz Gustavo, junior employees as Maximilian Arnold and chronically undervalued strategists like Caligiuri or Vieirinha. And what was there at the bottom of the lawn to discuss with the heavy Klaus Allofs on the neck? “We would like to thank each other that we have come together,” says Dieter Hecking. Again, this is a wise response with a sense of background information.

All talk after the final only by Junior Malanda, the

more Wolfgang Niersbach for Wolfsburg celebration society in a Kreuzberg Club. The DFB president comes from Zurich by a rather joyless event with the older gentlemen of FIFA, and there is still a place for him at the table with Hecking, Allofs and the VW grandees Martin Winterkorn and Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz. Outside projected a spotlight the green-white club logo on the banks of the Spree, indoors whir the Wolfsburg players through the corridors, they wear green sparkling sunglasses on the nose and be photographed with Cup.

On stage they sing their striker Bas Dost serenaded the 26th birthday, the Dutchman thanked with a short Soloeinlange. And all they talk about Junior Malanda, her in January fatally injured teammate, Kevin De Bruyne calls him “my little brother.” To Malandas honor of VfL accrued in the final with the shirt number 19 on the club crest. “Not only was he now has a presence, but in the entire second half,” said Dieter Hecking. “When we threatened once assumed the power, then we always knew: We have as yet a twelfth man who helps us.”

With some success Wolfsburg works in these green-white illuminated cup eight of the refutation of the prejudice of football gambling irrelevance. “Because we should even get carried away,” said Hecking. “Everyone has heard what have made for great atmosphere our fans in the stadium. And in Wolfsburg was 25 000 spectators at the public viewing. We no longer need to talk about it, that we are of no interest. “
