The two main players in the Premier League were not there when England’s national football team made representations at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday night. It was not about the newly discovered attack talents Jamie Vardy (Leicester) and Harry Kane (Tottenham), who had indeed made the trip to Berlin, as well as Liverpool’s James Milner, Chelsea’s Gary Cahill or Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. Who was missing, these were Jeremy Darroch and Gavin Patterson. Two names that are not every football fan art. But without Jeremy Darroch and Gavin Patterson would English football not know how he is.
The one stands in front of the private broadcaster Sky, which has other privatized by Margaret Thatcher British Telecom, and the bidding war between the two providers that Premier League made a multi-billion dollar television Treaty by far the richest soccer league in the world. With all the consequences – for the British junior who has it ever more difficult to enforce at home. But also for the European competition, in Spain, Italy and of course Germany. The Bundesliga gladly enjoys her beautiful stadiums, the great atmosphere and perfect youth development. But of course there since the clubs between Hamburg and Stuttgart also a certain level of fear that the very wealthy Englishman create with their money medium facts that could have a two-class society in European football for the permanent consequence top segment.
the copyright for the formulation with the TV bosses Darroch and Patterson as major players deserve Christian Seifert. The managing director of the German Football League (DFL) is interested in nature, more for the interests of clubs than the national team. But Seifert also knows how much his company has benefited from the success that will reap Germany top Fußballlehrer Joachim Loew and his team. Conversely, the national team has to rely on the trained personnel in the Bundesliga. With so much interaction an international match occurs as the double in Berlin on Saturday meaning. Whenever Germany kicks against England, also occurs the Bundesliga against the Premier League on.
The balance of power on the lawn are much more balanced than in the annual reports. This was not always so, especially not with advantages for the German side, as they were recorded in the past few years. The game on Saturday was the 34th between the two nations, it defines any case the German statistics, which begins with a first meeting on 20 April 1908th It was played at that time in the not to Berlin belonging Landsgemeinde Mariendorf, on the old Victoria Square at the Eisenacher Strasse. However, the Englishman held not much by the Germans. So they send only a third-rate amateur club team, so that the English Association does not list the German Match Premiere in its statistics until today as a true international game. The result of Mariendorf gives them so wrong not. English Amateurs won easily and easy 5: 1, and that the best German of the Berlin goalkeeper Paul Eichelmann was not exactly speaks for the early levels of the current world champion
It took three more games and 22 years. before the English for the first time their professionals sent to the Germans. More than 50 000 spectators came on May 10, 1930 into German stadium at the racetrack in Grunewald (where today the Olympic stadium is) to see stars like David Jack from Arsenal FC or Vic Watson of West Ham United. But the hero of the day was a monaural axis. Richard Hofmann from Dresdner SC shot at 3: 3 all three German goals and the best team in the world almost inflicted a defeat. From Hofmann it was then that he could either broken bar or post and shoot a ball into the net, including goalkeeper. Two months before the game against England, he had lost an ear in a car accident, so he played with a head bandage, which his English opponents maybe something scared.
Four years later, the German team was at the height of their creative powers, but their top scorer was not allowed with the world Cup 1934 in Italy. The Nazis imprisoned Richard Hofmann, because he had made advertising for cigarettes and thus violated the sacred amateur regulations. The brew rulers were anyway not known as a game, and at the latest within the next match against the English in the new Olympic Stadium, this antipathy solidified to open rejection. That was on May 14, 1938, when the characters were already at war in Europe. Two months earlier, Hitler Germany Austria had incorporated, but England’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain still hoped a success of his policy of appeasement. So much so that the policy the English players harnessed their carts.
As both teams took formation in the center circle before 110,000 spectators, craning not only German, but also the English players the right arm in the Hitler -Greetings toward Fuehrer. The photo of the attention saluting footballer is still considered a document for the failed British appeasement. It is not clearly confirm, whether the English FA or the Ambassador or Chamberlain himself the assembly had given to this greeting address. It is said that the English players were all against it. According angry they were playing on the athletic part of the spectacle and won 6:. 3 The “Times” recited with relish a game, “which was won so brilliantly that the Nazis remained with stuttering curses in the Fuehrer”. That for 1939 in London dating back game turned out well-known reasons.
The Bundesliga is a certain fear of the rich English clubs
The next memorable match between Germany and England was in 1966 instead, this time not in Berlin but in London. It was the famous World Cup final at the old Wembley Stadium. The final drama in the extension began at the score of 2: 2 with an unfortunate tee of the German goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski. The ball flew into the path of Alan Ball, whose edge Geoffrey Hurst balanced against the underside of the crossbar until then the German defender Wolfgang Weber promoted him from behind. Gate? No goal? Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst was not sure and consulted his Soviet assistant Tofik Bakhramov. Its decision is known that at this time a bit senile President Heinrich Luebke they commented as follows: “Everyone has seen that the ball has floundered on the net!” In the end the British won 4:. 2 It was the first and only major tournament victory of eternal footballing nation, and he is forever marked by the Wembley gate that none at all was still, as later solved camera shots showed unequivocally
The Germans retaliated. Only in 1970 at the World Cup in Mexico, when the English in the quarterfinals of Leon already 2: 0 lead and still 2: 3 lost in extra time. And then again two years later in the quarterfinals of the European Championship in 1972 when Günter Netzer first came from the depths of space. The history transfigured this 3: 1, the first German victory on the hallowed turf of Wembley to a triumph of the offensive. He was not. Rather meets Franz Beckenbauer’s verdict, the Germans would have provided a performance, “when almost everything was perfect: the fighting spirit, the combination game, the layout and the game shift”. As a neutral observer, the French newspaper “L’Équipe” raved about “dream football of 2000″. The game was a promise for the future. Successful football was intelligent, and intelligent football could also be beautiful
From intelligence could be no question, as the Germans the old hate figure for the April 20, 1994 invited to Hamburg. Abundant late fell to the Hamburg hosts that Hitler’s birthday was not an optimal date for a major event with audience. In the German fan scene cavorted in the nineties right agitators. When it was announced in January that neofascist groups wanted to repurpose the game at a commemoration, the city gave Hamburg the game to the DFB back – with the argument that the safety of the players could not be guaranteed. Berlin offered to substitute host and also saw no problem, as England’s high-circulation tabloids printed swastikas on their front pages and predicted mass brawls between German and English hooligans. As well as the British Foreign Office warned before the game, the English Football Association had enough and canceled.
Since then, they have played each other eight times, in friendship, in European and world championships, and the most excitement exciting duel took place in Bloemfontein on 27 June of 2010. In the second round of the World Cup of South Africa. Germany led 2: 1, but the Englishman expressed, and then shot Frank Lampard from outside the box on German goal. The ball bounced as 1966 in Wembley on the underside of the crossbar and then jumped so obviously on behind the goal line, that it was good to see even from the top ring of the stadium. Referees and linesmen but had seen nothing, they let the game and ignored the angry protests of the English. A strange and Converse equivalent to Soviet linesman Tofik Bakhramov, who recognized in 1966 in Wembley on goal where no Goals
In the end, the Germans 4 won:. 1 and the world made it a revenge for Wembley. Was that it? The word has promoted as a key witness Wolfgang Weber, the German defenders, who was then the next on the scene and the bouncing ball for a corner. In an interview with Tagesspiegel, he has to very clearly positioned: “They now want to know if I feel satisfaction? No. But Lampard’s shot was clearly. The ball was indeed one meter goal. That would probably have detected even the Bakhramov. “
