Description
A declaration of love to the greatest football club in the world – updated and expanded new edition. With eleven bonus reasons! “Just don’t get the idea to want to get up here!” With this request from the long-standing sports club president Achim Stocker to his then coach Volker Finke, the phenomenon Freiburg is already explained in principle. But the rise came. And he unleashed an almost catapult-like sporty house: hardly any more possible class retention, victories over Bayern Munich, UEFA Cup participations and even Freiburg national players. The euphoria in tranquil Breisgau knew no bounds: on game days, traffic regularly collapsed and serious medium-sized companies climbed trees to be able to attend at least a few moves of the “Breisgau-Brazilian” in the proppevollen three-season stadium. SOME REASONS Because we qualified for the European league. Because we have defeated Bayern Munich with 5:1. Because you could watch the Bundesliga for free in the Dreisamstadion. Because Uwe Wassmer managed a hat trick against Bayern Munich. Because we have completed a season only three points behind the German champion. Because we won 4:0 in Stuttgart. Because we have benefited from the Phantom Gate. Because we made impossible class preservation possible. Because we scored more than 100 goals in a second division season. Because we are the first second league champion to receive a master bowl. Because we have sovereign descended from the Bundesliga with 18 points. Because we almost threw Feyenoord Rotterdam out of the UEFA Cup. Because Jogi Löw is our record goal hunter. Because a better African than Anthony Yeboah played for us. Because we only separated from a coach once in Bundesliga history. Because Volker Finke was our coach. Because Christian Streich is our coach. Because Eckhard Krautzun opened the player session with a tail toilet paper in the trousers and did not know the names of his players. Because a team of German champions has ever been in Freiburg. Because we are the Breisgau Brazilians. Because our viewers follow home games from trees.
