Opinion | "time": The greatest success to bring the smallest player

Small is in. The little Italian restaurant on the corner, delicious. Woman must have a little black dress - these days the Fashion Week shows in Berlin. And then the little man! Politicians stand up for him, not tax laws should, at its expense. The little man is the buoyancy. With FC Barcelona, he is leader in the Spanish football league, one of the best in the world: A study of the Swiss Professional Football Players Observatory has revealed that the club has the smallest team in the European professional business.

A player of the Catalans measures on average just 1.77 m. The Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is the latest trend: it is only 1.69 m, Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and Xavi world champions are an inch larger. By comparison, the German professional is on average 1.83 m tall. Given the success of Spain - European Champions 2008, World Champion 2010 - is now so Germany coach Joachim Loew required.

With the appointment of the Mainz Lewis Holtby (1.76) he has taken the first step. He said recently about the Mainz team: "We can not talk small." Must be now done just that in the national team! The truly great are small in football. When Marko Marin (1.70) are most likely what will be done.

Only an inch, he is the German Messi. Perhaps Löw needs only patience but also the age we are supposed to shrink said. happen in any case, something that shows the warning example Mattersburg. According to the study of the local SV, the biggest player (1.86) - and second last of the Austrian league.

Say it a (r), it is irrelevant to the size!
