Victory against Kazakhstan: DFB team sees as an affront whistles from fans

Sunday there was silence in the stands. No wonder, after the termination of the German national team was in the Arena Wiesbaden closed to the public. 12 500 seats were silent witnesses as the players turned their rounds in order to relax the tired muscles and mind to relax a little. They had it necessary, because the day before it had become noisy.

Originally it was all run out to a relaxing evening. The German team had gone to Kazakhstan after just three minutes with Miroslav Klose in the lead and had it up to the interval increased to 3-0. But then hooked the German game in general and in particular by Bastian Schweinsteiger. Again and again the Bayern star lost the ball with transparent actions, and when he tried before the opponent's penalty area instead of a simple cross a lob pass to a team mate, it reached even the otherwise stoic coach Joachim Loew.

He clamored and waved it briefly towards substitute Toni Kroos. Whistles from the stands accompanied Schweinsteiger on his way to the bench. It was not the first nor the last expressions of displeasure from the Kaiserslautern audience on Saturday night. In half of the two were 47 984 visitors a quarter of an hour patiently, they acknowledged the coincidence of the attacking play with expressions of discontent.

Even after the final whistle - although Klose had provided through its gateway to the 4-0 final score even for a conciliatory statements. The whistles again brought players and coaches in a rage. Captain Philipp Lahm said: "We played well in the first half to lead our qualification group to sovereign - must not complain because no-one.

Of course, we have noticed the whistles that we have to accept. . It is, of course, but better to be cheered, "Germany coach Loew was incensed:" I feel the whistles against Schweinsteiger as extremely negative. He also views the right to deliver a game that is not quite up to his usual level.

"The behavior of its own following was seen on the national team as an affront. Especially from Bastian Schweinsteiger, "Our goal is to qualify for the European Championship. We have taken all the points - I do not understand the audience. Always want to see spectacle. . But to play against a team that is 30 meters before the own goal is not easy, "The audience would sometimes" keep the church in the village, "he said, and shrugged his shoulders:" What should we do? win every game 10-0? "The fact that the fans absolutely critical to deal with their elite selection is not new.

Already in October 2009, echoing whistles by the Hamburg stadium, when the national team struggled to a 1-1 draw against Finland. And even then, echauffierten the players. Goalkeeper Rene Adler described the fan behavior as "inappropriate," and Michael Ballack spoke of "lack of tact." That is now, however, booed even with clear leadership, is new.

"The whistles have something to do with our success in recent times. Expectations are high, "said Schweinsteiger. The problem at the newly inflamed dispute is of a fundamental nature. The players expect understanding from the fans, that in the final sprint of a season, do not spend to the limit in a game that is decided.

Moreover, they do not give justice to the Qualifying Group A is given such a confident, that no doubt arises more from the participation in the Euro 2012. "We have got 15 points in five games, scoring 17 goals. We have more than met our target, "said Loew. The audience, however, make do with an eye to the truly perfect record poor.

They have paid a lot of money for the tickets and ask for a quid pro quo. Their argument: A musician would after half of the concert, so do not play with a slower momentum, if he has remained up to that error. It seems that German football is a victim of its own success.
