Oh what a day... :(
A night full of nightmares was followed by day full of bad news...
News #1
Klinsmann will come back to Germany
News #2
Lehmann will not come back to Germany
These two men broke my heart...
I spent a troubled night full of nightmares and tossing and turning and was awaken by the earsplitting sound of a shredder .. my new neighbours had removed all the trees on their parcel and shredded the wood. It was almost noon, I had headaches and I felt really crap.
I dragged myself to the computer and started the day as usual with a look at the news .. the sports news... A picture of Jürgen Klinsmann hit my eye and a headline said that Klinsi would become the new coach of Bayern Munich... o_O
What!?!
The sound of the shredder filled the room..
I stared in disbelief .. my first thought was that I had been in a coma for 12 weeks and it actually was the 1st of April and this was a very bad joke. My second thought was that I'm an idiot .. and the Kicker must be wrong. Then me and my brain slowly and painfully realized that the Kicker was right and not me but Klinsi was the idiot.
Don't get me wrong. I love Klinsmann for many, many years, since I was a young girl and fell for him. *g* He's always been one of my favourite football players. His successful work and all the trouble he had to go through as Germany's national coach refreshed my love for him and I was sad when he left again and went back to the USA. But it was a good and understandable decision.
And now he made the decision to come back. So far so great!
But why on earth Bayern Munich. Why, Klinsi, why???? It were Hoeness, Rummenigge and Beckenbauer who critizised and insulted him publicly before the world cup, and his relationship towards Bayern has never been a really good one, even - or especially - when he played for that club. He will have to fight against Rummenigge's arrogance and self-importance and the choleric fits and impoliteness of Hoeness. He will only have to loose two games in a row and all the trouble will start again.
But the worst thing of all is.. I hate Bayern!!! I hate that club from the bottom of my heart! And I never ever will support them in any way.
To state my point here's an excerpt from the famous "Bayern" song from the Toten Hosen (YAY! Our local heroes!)
Das wollt' ich nur mal klarstellen
Damit wir uns richtig verstehen:
Ich habe nichts gegen München
Ich würde nur nie zu den Bayern gehen
Muss denn sowas wirklich sein ?
Ist das leben nicht viel zu schön ?
Sich selber so wegzuschmeissen
Und zum FC Bayern zu gehen
Es kann so viel passieren
Es kann soviel geschehen
Ganz egal wie hart mein Schicksal wär'
Ich würde nie zum FC Bayern München gehen
And now my beloved Klinsi goes to Bayern, again .. I still don't get it .. my heart is broken...
*sigh*
After being confronted with that shattering news I spent the rest of the day in front of the telly. I was upset, depressed and tired and watched with amazement how the media went wild over the new "partnership" between Bayern and Klinsi. They even changed the programme. Oh, come on... *rolls eyes*
My headache got worse. I dragged myself to the computer to have a short and last look at the news. A picture of Jens Lehmann hit my eye and a headline said that Jens would not join the BVB but stay in England... o_O
Noooooo!!!
The sound of the shredder still filled the room..
Was I still sleeping and this whole day was one of my nightmares?
They are treating Lehmann like dirt at Arsenal .. the coach, the club, the media. He's benched and he will keep that humiliating place on the bench, no matter how good he's going to play at the FA Cup or the friendlies. And despite this demotivating situation he decided to stay in England, even risking his status as no 1 of the national team. And all because of his family. I'm pretty sure, that many people will not understand how someone can choose family over career. But I understand this and he has my respect! This must have been a very tough decision, knowing that the humiliation will go on... :(
Playing at Dortmund - or at another German or English club - would have made things a lot easier for him and also for Jogi Löw. Now all the Lehmann haters will crawl out of their dark holes in which they had hidden after the world cup and will try to "convince" Löw to bench Lehmann due to missing match practice. Fortunately Jogi has already stated that he understands Lehmann's decision and that he will stick by him. I hope Jens and Jogi will be strong enough to withstand all the better knowing "experts" and show them who the real experts are.
Oh, what a day .. too much excitement for a tired woman with an aching head.
I will drag myself to bed now .. and I will not look at the latest news!
And the shredder is finally silent..
