Such twelve minutes has not seen the football yet. As the 22 men in Red and Blue at the center circle, stand behind slide the Ball, the Goalies are there. Some juggle, others. Up until the final whistle. The referee allows it. And Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: “This was an absolute character, a common step.” His counterpart Peter Görlich from Hoffenheim speaks a compliment to all Involved.
The ball attachment in the pouring rain is a Protest. Against their own Fans. 73 minutes were played during the guest performance of the Munich in Hoffenheim, as the followers presented a poster with a unique and most primitive message, addressed to Dietmar Hopp, the donor of the TSG Hoffenheim. And only a week after it had to see in Gladbach, Germany, a poster with a crosshair over his face. At that time there were sports Director Max Eberl and Captain Lars Stindl, urging the Fans to remove it.
The Bayern v Hoffenheim game was temporarily delayed due to crowd trouble.
It’s since resumed, but the players are just having a kick about and a chat as the clock winds down…

The Scene on Saturday: almost identical. First it was the players who approached their Fans. Coach Hansi Flick raged, after he had sprinted from his coaching zone all over the place, midfielder Thiago Alcantara threw angry words to the audience. Referee Christian Dingert under the game broke, sent the players from both Teams in the cabin. As the game kicked off, came the second poster, with the same wording.
this Time, just a Flick and the players were not there. Also Rummenigge, five minutes before, he had put on the stands, nor the Arm to the spurned Hopp, came to the square, Oliver Kahn as well. Again Dingert sent all in the cabin. The second in order of escalation was reached. According to the rule book would have Dingert would have to cancel the game in case of further default from the curve. Nothing came of it.
“There has to be a rethink”
to boulder For this 12-minute Ball of 22 players. The stadium, including the Hopp and Rummenigge applauds, and later the two teams face closed in front of the Fans hope home. That Bayern will win the match 6:0, there’s already to go to waste. It is the “ugly face of the FC Bavaria” remains in memory, as it’s called Rummenigge. He was ashamed deeply before Hopp, a “very fine gentleman” who had done much for football in this Region. The manner in which his players, and brought in from Hoffenheim the game to the end, was “a clip around the ears for the anarchists”.
Rummenigge promises that the actions of the Fans were captured on Video and the club with the utmost severity against the persons responsible for the previous. “We have too much,” he says, “there has to be a rethink”. As he well knows, that to hear in Dortmund abusive chants against Hopp were. Although the BVB at home came against SC Freiburg.
Hopp is insulted by Fans of the tradition of the clubs, since Hoffenheim in 2008, out of virtually Nothing in the League of ascent. The 79-Year-old pumped millions into the club, leaving him at the enemies to hate character. The scenes of the last few weeks, with the participation of the Fans of Dortmund, Gladbach and Bayern were a new low.
