The Bundesliga club conducted a virtual interaction with Asian media outlets and everybody was keen on the winger's situation.
Borussia Dortmund as a club have had a tremendous fan following all over the globe and the club also leaves no stone unturned to connect with their supporters. Present at a virtual press conference, board member and former captain Sebastian Kehl and midfielder Thomas Delaney talked to the Asian media and answered several questions.
Kehl has been the face of BVB for a long time now as he was the captain of the side and now he is associated at the managerial level. So it has been a long journey for the former German international as he spoke about the transition from professional football to management.
"First of all when I retired from professional football with Dortmund, I did a World tour for some months. It was really good to spend more time with my family. But I also used that time to work on my coaching license. I did multiple jobs, worked as a TV expert, studied management and was trying to figure out what's next. It was a good process for me but I was throughout involved with BVB, living in the same city and my heart was always with the club. Then Michael Zorc asked me to join the board two years ago and I decided to take that step."
"I am very happy to be here and I believe the club is very professional and has a lot of potential. It was an easy decision to make. There were some difficulties because the team was scoring goals, winning titles and I was not on the pitch anymore. After a long career these things are not easy to handle," the 40-year said reminiscing the changes in his life after swapping roles.
Next up, when he was asked about the lingering rumours of Jadon Sancho leaving Dortmund this summer with Manchester United heavily interested in the player, Kehl completely rubbished the claims and said the English forward is happy at Signal Iduna Park. "We have repeatedly mentioned that Jadon will stay and everybody is very happy including him. His contract runs till 2023 and it is a very relaxed situation for all of us. He is happy and you can see that on the training ground, he is having a lot of fun here."
One thing BVB are proud of are their massive fan following and the stadium atmosphere that is created by the fans. But in testing times of COVID-19, the Bundesliga along with all the other leagues across Europe had to play behind closed doors. According to Kehl, it has been a disaster for the team to not have fans.
"Playing without fans in that stadium is a disaster. It makes no good. But it was the only chance to play. We did not ask for more. We have to accept that politicians will make decisions and there are more important things than sport. Hopefully, we can bring in some fans in the near future and the great atmosphere will come back to Dortmund. We are losing around €4m every game as there no spectators."
"It is hard to plan for the future and all big clubs are losing money on that front. The financial losses are in every club and hopefully, we can come out of this situation very soon. We are still working on the plans. We cannot give a number right now. The decision will be made by the end of August or the start of September. It is a hard decision to make but hopefully when the number of infected people decreases, we can have fans in the stadium," Sebastian Kehl added.
Among the array of talents present at the Signal Iduna Park, a new starlet, Jude Bellingham has caught the eye of the millennial football fans. The young midfielder has followed the footsteps of compatriot Jadon Sancho, snubbing several top European clubs.
However, Thomas Delaney was very impressed with the 17-year-old midfielder and feels that he has the potential to be a future star at Dortmund. "Jude (Bellingham) has impressed everybody. He is a very good player. No discrimination of age and he will get his chances sooner or later. He has a big reach and we should see more of that young player in the near future," concluded the 28-year old Denmark international.

BERLIN (AP) - Germany's Torsten Frings was banned from the World Cup semifinals after a disciplinary committee found he punched Argentina forward Julio Cruz in a post-match fracas in the quarterfinals.
FIFA's disciplinary committee announced the ban Monday, the eve of Germany's semifinal match against Italy at Dortmund.
"We are disappointed," Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff said. "Our opinion was that we laid down the reasons for an acquittal."
The 29-year-old midfielder was banned for two matches - with one suspended for six months - and fined $4,075.
That means Frings can return for either the World Cup final or the third-place playoff, but has a six-month probation period. If he commits any other kind of misconduct, he would have to serve the balance of punishment.
Despite handing down a partially suspended ban because it found that Frings had been provoked, the disciplinary committee condemned his reaction as "tantamount to an assault."
"The judgment pronounced on Frings was the result of the unequivocal television images showing his assault on Cruz. Neither the (German federation) nor the player could refute the objective evidence at hand," the committee said in a statement.
But Bierhoff said Frings had been reacting to provocation. The referee, Lubos Michel, and his assistants were directly next to Frings and had not taken action against the German midfielder.
"All we can do now is accept the decision. We will now concentrate on the Italy game and we are optimistic that Frings will return for the final," Bierhoff said.
Frings' absence is a major setback for Germany. The midfielder has been one of Germany's best players, creating attacking opportunities and carrying out a lot of the defensive work in tandem with captain Michael Ballack. Frings is likely to be replaced by Sebastian Kehl, a rugged Borussia Dortmund midfielder with similar qualities.
Argentina players Maxi Rodriguez and Leandro Cufre were cited after last Friday's match at Berlin and initially all the German players were cleared, but FIFA started an investigation into Frings' involvement after images of the skirmish were broadcast on TV in Germany and Italy.
German media reported Monday that the Italian soccer federation gave FIFA the TV footage that sparked the investigation, hoping to have the hardworking midfielder suspended for the semifinal. FIFA and the Italian federation denied the reports.
"Let me make it clear, there was no attempt whatever from the Italian federation to incite FIFA into doing something," FIFA communications director Markus Siegler said. "The footage was not presented to us from Italian TV stations, it was shown in Germany."
The Italian soccer federation said it contacted its counterpart in Germany to deny the news reports.
"We have done nothing, there has been no initiatives on our behalf against Germany," Italian federation chief Antonello Valentini told Sky Italia TV on Monday. "There is no effort on our behalf to create hostility, friction or to denounce anybody; We'll try to win the match on the field. We have no interest that Frings be punished if FIFA doesn't believe he should be."
Frings was contacted late Sunday and asked to submit his account of the incident to FIFA's disciplinary committee by Monday morning. It took the committee more than four hours to find him guilty of violent conduct. Footage from the 24 TV cameras at Berlin's Olympic Stadium had to be reviewed because Frings' involvement did not appear on the official match broadcast, Siegler said.
The disciplinary panel made the quick decision on Frings, hoping to reduce the impact on Germany's preparations for the semifinals. Cufre and Rodriguez have until Wednesday to present their cases. The disciplinary committee has not given a timeframe for when, if any, punishments are applied.
England's Wayne Rooney, who was sent off for violent conduct in the quarterfinal loss to Portugal, has until Thursday to make a statement to the committee regarding his red card.

OFFICIAL: 35-year-old Mats Hummels leaves Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund and central defender Mats Hummels (35) will part ways after a total of more than 13 years of successful collaboration. This is the result of a conversation held this week between BVB Sports Director Lars Ricken, Sports Director Sebastian Kehl and Mats Hummels.
"Dear fans, my time in black and yellow is now coming to an end after a total of more than 13 years. It was a huge honour and joy for me to have played for BVB for so long and to have been part of the journey from 13th place in January 2008 to what Borussia Dortmund represents today. This club and its fans are something very special - and for me much more than that," says Mats Hummels, adding: "I would also like to thank all BVB employees who do great work for this club and of course the countless great coaches and fantastic teammates that I have had the pleasure of meeting here. I keep my fingers crossed that you will all meet up again at Borsigplatz as soon as possible to celebrate. Until then, I will be cheering from afar and hopefully also in the stadium from time to time. I will miss you.â
Borussia Dortmundâs sports director, Lars Ricken, emphasises: âMats was one of the key figures in BVB football over the past 15 years. He won many titles, and his personal highlight was certainly the World Cup triumph in 2014. Matsâs play as a centre-back was and is exceptional; entire generations of players would love to have his outside foot. Now our paths are parting and it is without a doubt never easy for everyone involved to make such decisions. Mats will forever be part of BVBâs history books. We owe this player a lot, and Mats also owes this extraordinary club a lot. We wish him all the best for his future.â
BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl says: âWithout a doubt, we are losing an outstanding personality in Mats Hummels, perhaps one of the last of his kind in football. During his career, Mats not only shaped BVB, but also raised the central defender game worldwide to a new level. He won titles with us, not least the first double in our club's history. In addition, Mats is a real guy who always challenges himself and others. I thank Mats for his passion, for his will to succeed, and also for his rough edges. Everyone at BVB wishes him all the best for his sporting and private future. Personally, I will always remain close to Mats, whom I have valued very much for many, many years."

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has said the club have received no proposals for star midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham, 19, is one of the most admired midfielders in world football and has been linked with a move away from the German club this summer.
- Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, more (U.S.)
Earlier this month, ESPN reported that Real Madrid are planning a trip to Germany to negotiate a deal to sign the teenager. Premier League champions Manchester City are also in the running to sign Bellingham while Liverpool have ruled themselves out of the race.
Dortmund could seal their first league title since the 2011-12 campaign on the final day of the season, and Kehl was unwilling to give any indication on Bellingham's future when he spoke to the media on Wednesday.
"I mean we are on Wednesday now three days before our biggest and important match against Mainz," Kehl said. "Jude is doing everything at the moment to be part of it.
"Unfortunately he couldn't join us against Augsburg because of his knee injury, but he's working hard at the moment, still individually, but he will be part of the team on Saturday because he's a big and very, very important part of the team in this season.
"He showed so many great performances and I think to win a title for him is everything. I think he mentioned it already some weeks ago. He's completely committed to that club.
"And of course, there are rumours all the time and media speculations all the time. But honestly at the moment, [there is] nothing on the table, nothing what we can decide, nothing what we can talk about or negotiate.
Dortmund face Mainz on Saturday and could win their first Bundesliga title in 11 years with a victory to end Bayern Munich's decade of dominance.
Bellingham is a doubt for the match with a knee injury which kept him out of their last match, a 3-0 win over Augsburg on Sunday, but Kehl is hopeful the England international will play a part.
"The focus is now Saturday and match against Mainz and then we will speak about everything and perhaps then we will speak to his family of course, but let's focus on [the Mainz match]," Kehl added.
"I strongly believe that Jude is not thinking on anything other than the title, anything other than being participate on Saturday and this is his main focus and mine as well."

Former England striker Gary Lineker once famously quipped that soccer was a "simple" game: "Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end — the Germans win."
Lineker made the remark just after England suffered a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Germany in the semifinals of the 1990 World Cup.He was making the point that the German team cannever be discounted.
Until recently, the statistics would have backed up Lineker's joke. Germany appeared in three straight World Cup finals from1982-90, played in a record seven World Cup finals (winning three) and won more European championships (three) than any other nation. It has racked up 50 career World Cup victories, ranking second only to Brazil, which has won 60 games and five World Cup titles.
But despite a proven track record of success, most soccer pundits aren't expecting Die Nationalelf — the "National 11" — to bring home a fourth World Cup crown in 2006.
The German team no longer evokes thefear and respect it once did. Germany is in transition,evencrisis — and most critics are pointing the finger straight at its coach,former national team icon Jurgen Klinsmann.
Klinsmann,who was one of Germany's greatest players, scored 11 goals in 17 games at the 1990 World Cup and led his country to the title.
But that hasn't counted for much since he took over the team two years ago.
Germany has lost its way since it lost to Brazil in the 2002 World Cup finals, crashing out of the opening round at Euro 2004, registering only a handful of wins in international play and dropping to an unimaginable 19th in the current FIFA world rankings.
The team's reputation has taken a further beatingover the last few months, a fact underscored by Germany's humiliating 4-1 loss to Italy in an exhibition game in March.
Such was the outrage after the mauling by the Italians that it prompted some German lawmakers to demand Klinsmann appear before parliament to explain how he plans to win the country's fourth world title with his struggling squad.
Critics question team selections
Klinsmann's selections and tactics havebeen second-guessed by the media and German soccer officials ever since he took over the team two years ago.
Aside from a few veteran players, Germany's World Cup team is mostly comprised of younger players. Many of them are unproven and will be playing at a major international tournament for the first time at the 2006 World Cup.
In a bit of a surprise, Klinsmann selected Jens Nowotny despite the defender's near two-year absence from international soccer.Midfielder David Odonkor was another surprise pick, as the 22-year-old winger has yet to play a game for Germany.
Notable absentees include winger Sebastian Deisler (effectively replaced by Odonkor), striker Kevin Kuranyi, midfielder Fabian Ernst and fullback Patrick Owomoyela.
The omission of Kuranyi was seen as especially questionable because Klinsmann selected striker Mike Hanke, who will have to miss the first two games of the tournament due to suspension.
Several players are also just getting over injuries: striker Lukas Podolski (back), midfielder Sebastian Kehl (ankle), central defender Christoph Metzelder (calf muscle) and left fullback Philipp Lahm (torn elbow ligaments).
4-4-2 formation draws fire
Klinsmann has also tied himself to using a traditional 4-4-2 formation, leading critics to say hisinflexibility in the matter had madeGermany limp and predictable.
The Germans suffer from a dearth of midfield creators. Because so much of their attack relies on playmaking midfielder Michael Ballack, teams canfocus all their defensive attention on him to effectively shut the team down.
What's more, Klinsmann has been hounded by German soccer officials, the media and fans for his decision to split his time between his homeland and California, where he lives with his family.
Franz Beckenbauer, Germany's 1974 World Cup winning captain, has been vocal in his criticism of Klinsmann's and his team selections.
"The coach of the host country has to be there — that is beyond question. If I have to think about this anymore my choice of words would be more drastic," said Beckenbauer, Germany's most influential soccer figure.
Pele defends Klinsmann
Although Klinsmann appears to have few friends in Germany, one man who has publicly backed the coach is Brazilian icon Pele.
"He is doing a good job," Pele told the German television channel ZDF. "I have spoken with him a few times and chatted with Beckenbauer about Klinsmann.
"Some people don't like the fact that he has changed a lot. I think some people in Germany have a problem with the new developments over the past two years.
"But I think he is doing well. Klinsmann gives the team a lot of self-confidence."
To say the German national team is carrying the weight of expectations of an entire nation on its shoulders is a mild understatement.
All eyes will be on the hosts as they seek to dispel the notion that their best days are behind them and that they are living off the memories of past glories.

There is only one place to be on Saturday afternoon and that is with the 81,365 supporters at Signal Iduna Park as Borussia Dortmund host Mainz. Victory for the home side would end Bayern Munich’s decade-long domination in the Bundesliga.
There are 200 seats in the press box but the number of applications has hit 1000. Fan interest is even more intense. "You can imagine how many requests I have had," says sporting director Sebastian Kehl. How many could they sell? "Perhaps 500,000," he adds.
Dortmund has been waiting for this. German football has been waiting for this. The irony of that moment arriving in this of all seasons is not lost on Kehl or the club. A new sporting director. A new head coach. And scoring sensation Erling Haaland sold.
His replacement last summer was Sebastien Haller. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer during pre-season. That was bigger than football and, ultimately, it has galvanised and inspired. But in the short term it also presented a football problem.
Haller could not play until his dramatic return in January. At that stage, Karim Adeyemi, the other major forward acquisition of the summer, had yet to score either. Dortmund had gone into the World Cup break languishing in sixth. A title win was implausible.
And yet, here they are. Uncharacteristically, Bayern have faltered. More importantly, Dortmund have capitalised. They won their first eight Bundesliga games of 2023 and have picked up 10 more points than any other team since the turn of the year.
"The season was like a rollercoaster," says Kehl, a man who won the title three times with Dortmund as a player. The end is now in sight. "Hopefully, we can show the whole world that we well deserve to be champion after a decade of Bayern Munich."

Dortmund's obsession with football
There are prettier cities in Germany than Dortmund but that has always been part of its appeal. Football is the focus. As Adeyemi puts it, "everybody knows the city because of the club" - and everybody knows the club because of the passion of its supporters.
Paul Lambert is no longer the best British midfielder to play for Dortmund. He rates Jude Bellingham as the best teenager in the position that he has ever seen. But his experience of winning the Champions League with the club in 1997 gives him a rare insight.
Twenty-six years on, memories remain of the aftermath. Not just of Borsigplatz, the square that is the traditional focal point of Dortmund's celebrations, but of the long drive after landing at Paderborn airport and the supporters who lined the city's streets.
"I remember thinking, wow. All I saw was yellow and black. I never saw any colour other than yellow and black. They were hanging out of windows, on traffic lights, on top of cars. It was thousands and thousands of people and I have never seen anything like it."
Lambert had been there all season, building an affinity with the fans who identified, he believes, with his working-class Glasgow roots. But this was different. "I knew it from the stadium but what I never realised was what would happen if you won something."
In a place like that, the wait can feel interminable. Particularly when their 2021 cup success could not be celebrated as it should have been, due to the pandemic. It is six years since they were able to enjoy any trophy on the streets of the city. This would be cathartic.
It would also be huge. So huge that, while it might seem presumptuous, as coach and players focus on the game, Kehl's energy is also going into what happens next. This is about Saturday but Sunday too - and the biggest party Dortmund has ever seen.
"As a club, of course we need to organise stuff for Sunday." He has also ensured the players' families all have their tickets for the game. That can be a distraction. "My experience helped me to bring that to an end before Saturday." He wants minds on the job.
"They should realise that this is a huge opportunity for them but also for our city," he explains. "I have to pay attention to much more things than I did as a player, as a captain. But the feeling is much the same. You can make people happy at Dortmund."
Problems early in the season
Kehl has had an extraordinary first year in this job. When he says "this was not an easy season for me" it feels like an understatement. The pressure was on with players struggling to settle, a team unable to gel. Asked by Sky Sports, if it required patience, he is frank.
"Honestly, we were not patient in that moment. I think it hurt the players a lot that we were sixth in the table in November. This is not the expectation from the club. This is not the expectation of the players who play for Borussia Dortmund."
He was questioned too. Predecessor Michael Zorc might not have delivered the title since 2012 but he had qualified for the Champions League seven times in a row. Now even that was at risk and there were doubts about how the money had been spent.
Kehl uses the word "nervous" before retracting it. "We were very unhappy. Criticised for our performance, for our poor performance in some ways, to be honest. We had many problems, many injuries." But he insists he always believed in the quality of the squad.
A training camp in Marbella is now seen as a turning point. There were honest conversations. A realisation that hard work was the only solution. "Performance is not a present, it is hard work," says Kehl. "I think that was crucial, that the mindset changed."
The team that emerged in January was different. "They were much more focused. The self-confidence came back." But the personnel were a little different too. Dortmund were boosted by the return of Haller. It is the one of the feel-good stories of the season.
Haller's 'miracle' comeback
Haller's first Bundesliga start for Dortmund inside their own stadium came in the first week of February. He marked the occasion with a goal in front of the famous Yellow Wall in a 5-1 win over Freiburg. The whole team ran to celebrate the moment with him.
"It is like a miracle that he was back after such a disease," says Kehl.
It also transformed Dortmund's play. Others had deputised, Anthony Modeste scoring a vital late equaliser against Bayern that has proved crucial in the title race. But Haller is already the club's joint-top scorer in the Bundesliga despite playing only half a season.
"He gives them a focal point," says Lambert. "People can play off him. He is a big lad who can hold the ball up, play people in. He can also finish. Dortmund having him has been a revelation in the last half of the season. It has given them something different."
Haller has been particularly important during the run-in. His five goals in three games have fired them to the brink of the title. "We missed him for a long time. There was a reason Sebastien Haller was signed by us after we lost Haaland to Man City," says Kehl.
"He is a great player but he is not only a great player, he is a great personality. He could show that in that crisis he had. What a person. I do not think any one of us can imagine how he felt in that time.
"But he came back. And he scored."
Impact of Adeyemi
Adeyemi had been around in the first part of the season but the young player who claims to be quicker than Usain Bolt over 30 metres was not himself. It was not just that he did not score a Bundesliga goal before Christmas, there were no assists either.
Those electric performances have finally come in 2023. When he broke his Bundesliga duck, he scored in the next two as well. Half a dozen goals in eight games reflects Haller's influence on others but also his own focus. It has helped reinvigorate Dortmund.
"You need time to get involved in this quality," Adeyemi tells Sky Sports. "Last year was really hard for me and for the team also. We did not have a good six months. For myself, I can also say I did not play good. This year, I had some things to do and this is what I did."
Magic of Bellingham
The constant has been Bellingham. He remains a special talent. "What I love to say is that the ball loves him and he loves the ball back," says Adeyemi. "Everything he does is quite magic." And what exactly does he do? "Almost everything, I think."
At 19, Bellingham has started more Bundesliga games for Dortmund than anyone else this season, driving the team on, raising standards, demanding more from himself and others. The veteran Mats Hummels is still key but Bellingham has emerged as a leader too.
Lambert regards him as "without a doubt the best 19-year-old midfielder I have seen" and says he can be whatever he wants. That could yet take him elsewhere but Kehl does not doubt his commitment right now. "To be part of a title is everything to him."
Role of fan-turned-coach Terzic
If there is a man it means more to, that man is head coach Edin Terzic. Lambert first came across him when was Slaven Bilic's assistant manager at West Ham. "I knew he was a Dortmund fan then. Because he told me." Emphatically, this is his club.
Kehl describes him as a child of Dortmund. "Born and raised here in our club, in our scouting department, as an assistant coach. He understands the club. He identifies with the club and has its values." He was the right man at the right time to lead Dortmund.

His standing will increase with a Bundesliga title and he is not alone in that. This could change the game for Dortmund. The sporting director is already thinking about prospective conversations with players and agents. "It will have an impact," says Kehl.
"We can show the players that it is not only to develop them and to sell them at some point, but we are able to win trophies. To show that we have the environment, the power, the capacity to win titles is massively important for me to bring players to Dortmund."
A new dawn in the Bundesliga?
Bellingham's exit may prove to be inevitable but there is hope that this can be a platform for change in the Bundesliga rather than a blip for Bayern. "It is good for everybody that the competition in our league is still there," says Kehl. "I am pretty optimistic."
He remained so even when Dortmund were beaten away to Bayern last month, their only Bundesliga defeat of the year. At the time, it was seen as a potentially decisive moment, the day on which the champions had reasserted their authority.
"I know the stories were made again. Is it Bayern Munich again who destroys our dream? It was like a kick on that matchday. But we have not lost our dream. I am pretty proud that the team has come back. Now we have everything in our hands."
In their way now, only Mainz. In Mainz's way, the wall of noise that is the sudtribune at Signal Iduna Park and a city united. Given Bayern's long reign, one might expect to detect some fear that there could be a twist in this tale, that there is still time for it go wrong.
It is not apparent. From the logistical planning for the day after the game to the sense of togetherness among fans, players, head coach, sporting director, and the club legends watching on from afar, there is only excitement and conviction that this is their moment.
"When I was there a few weeks ago, there was a really good feeling," says Lambert, who met with Terzic and the players after the win over Union Berlin. "The belief is there. What I have sensed from going to watch Dortmund is that there is no fear factor.
"That is why the crowd are so important. I have never gone to a Dortmund game, when playing there or watching the guys, and felt any negativity in that stadium. That is why I think they will win it. The crowd will not be nervy." And so, neither will the players.
"It is not pressure," says Adeyemi. "Just motivation."
And that motivation is why this momentum feels irresistible.
"Everybody wants to be in the stadium," adds Kehl. "Everybody wants to share this moment with the players. It is up to them on Saturday to win the game first. We are ready to do it one more time.
"And then, there is no better place to celebrate than Dortmund."

Sport Bild reports that Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is to hand over the majority of his responsibilities in the summer ahead of the end of his contract in 2025.
Who will replace the long-term CEO is unknown, but it seems like current Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl will take over the role. However, Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche is the biggest challenger to Kehl for the role.
Krösche was previously an option for Dortmund to take over from Michael Zorc in 2022, but they opted for former Dortmund midfielder Kehl.
Kehl is currently in pole position for the role but if Dortmund decide to seriously pursue the Frankfurt director, It is not out of the question that Krösche could join Dortmund as his contract expires in 2025 and he has yet to sign an extension despite being of interest to several clubs abroad.
It is said that Krösche wants to win titles and be represented in the Champions League every year, which at the moment is not a goal that can be achieved at Frankfurt.

Ahead of the weekend derby against Schalke, Borussia Dortmund's Sebastian Kehl explains the unique challenges his club has had to face...

The Athletic
|
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/1713467/2020/05/15/schalke-dortmund-derby-coronavirus-bundesliga-ghost-game/
|
It’s been five years since Sebastian Kehl stopped playing football but he’s never had a more difficult game to prepare for than this week.
As Borussia Dortmund’s head of professional football, the 40-year-old is in charge of the medical department, which is implementing the Bundesliga’s stringent 51-page medical protocol, designed to minimise the risk of COVID-19 infection. And as if making sure players fully understand and follow the endless array of instructions guiding their behaviour both within the club and in private wasn’t enough, the first game back also happens to pit Dortmund against neighbours Schalke in an empty Signal Iduna Park.
“It will be the strangest derby in history,” Kehl tells The Athletic.
By now, Dortmund’s players have become used to some parts of the weirdness, if not all.
Players are tested for Coronavirus twice a week. Every day, the squad have their temperatures taken and their physical wellness is monitored by a special app they have to use every morning to log precisely how they feel. Players who report even minor complaints are immediately seen to, with a view to isolating possible cases. Kehl says the amount of work that has gone into the COVID-19 regime is beyond imagination and certainly challenging for players, coaches, staff and all those involved. In times of great uncertainty, strict routines and a strong framework can offer at least some semblance of comfort.
Thankfully, not everything is an outright novelty. Dortmund have the benefit of having sampled the atmosphere at a high-pressure “ghost game” earlier this season already, even if they ended up losing. They went down rather meekly in France in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain on March 11 (losing 2-0), two days before the Bundesliga was suspended, having never got going on the night.
The experience taught Kehl that extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary levels of preparation, especially in terms of adopting the right mindset. “These next few weeks will be down to whoever can deal with this unusual situation best and manage to create a collective energy on the pitch without the help of the fans,” the former Dortmund captain and three-time league winner (2002, 2011, 2012) says. “The attitude will make the difference. Being the better team, football-wise, won’t be enough.”
On Wednesday, Dortmund travelled from their quarantined hotel to Signal Iduna Park to simulate game conditions, including playing the music that usually accompanies the teams onto the pitch. (They won’t file onto the pitch next to each other on Saturday and won’t shake hands either, in line with protocol.) As soon as the club realised how tricky it would be to get players into a suitable frame of mind for the remainder of the season, Kehl also brought forward the hiring of sports psychologist Phillip Laux, a former Bundesliga goalkeeper who had been scheduled to join them next season. Players are free to decide whether they want to use the opportunity to work with him, Kehl explains.
There have been many talks over the past few weeks, with Dortmund taking great care to explain the consequences of the crisis to their squad. A wage cut (of an undisclosed sum) was agreed 10 days after the games had stopped to ensure the club could continue to employ its 880-strong non-playing staff. Financial imperatives, too, were behind the push to return to playing football this month.
Kehl says the players were able to voice their concerns and ask plenty of questions but that they were won over by the measures devised by team doctor Markus Braun, who was also part of the Bundesliga’s medical task force. “You get the sense that players feel safe and trust in our staff and the concept,” Kehl says. As a result, no player has approached them with misgivings about the resumption of the league, not even Thorgan Hazard and Manuel Akanji, whose partners both had babies in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, there’s really no telling how the players will react once the ghost derby kicks off. Dortmund, a relatively young team, have not always dealt well with pressurised situations over the last 12 months. Some big games — against Schalke, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich — have delivered disappointing results and the way they crumbled in the second half of last season saw people doubt their mental fortitude.
“People have different interpretations of what mentality means,” Kehl says, a little weary of the subject. “But it is a factor. The point is to be unified in your approach as a club and a team, to speak the same language. Words like ‘readiness’, ‘winning mentality’, ‘commitment’, ‘responsibility’, ‘leadership abilities’ — whichever way you want to define it, they do matter in sport. You won’t get past this subject if you want to be successful. We have incredibly talented players, different types of players. We have pace, individual class, and difference-makers. But when it comes down to it, it’s also a quality for a team to be there in the right moment, to score goals, to turn games around, to win games, to play in a commanding manner, and most of all, to perform to their abilities.”
Kehl’s main role is that of a facilitator: he wants to help everyone else reach their potential. Leaving aside the very special circumstances of this spring, he says the challenges faced by the current generation — “social media, big transfer fees, increasing wages” — are a little different from the ones he encountered during his own playing days. “They need to be talked to in a certain way but they are also much more professional in their lifestyles. They certainly devote much more time to nutrition and healthy living than we did.”
A Dortmund staff member told The Athletic he overheard players discussing their respiratory quotient, an indicator of their metabolic function. Is that true? “Yes. They take great interest in their own performance and fitness numbers. We try to measure sleeping patterns, for example, to squeeze out a last few percentage points. We don’t collect this data to use it against players but to make them more stable in their performances. It’s our duty to do so to add value to players, coaches and medical and athletic departments.”
Since Dortmund’s strategy relies on taking many young players to the next level, it involves a strong element of character-building as well, he adds. “If you look at Jadon Sancho’s development, as an example: fantastic player, unbelievable skills at such a young age. Big hype. That’s a lot to deal with. We want to be good travel companions on their journey. They can make mistakes but it’s also good if mistakes don’t get repeated too many times. It’s a learning process.”
Kehl’s responsibilities certainly don’t end there, though. As one for German football’s most eloquent and thoughtful officials, the former central midfielder was invited to help shape the Bundesliga’s plans for the restart and he, too, is sensitive to the amount of criticism that has been directed at the game within Germany. Some have questioned the timing of the Bundesliga’s return, others have decried the game’s focus on securing TV payments at the expense of supporters who can’t attend. In addition, many people are simply too concerned with their own health and livelihood to get truly excited by the prospect of “15:3o”, the traditional local kick-off time, becoming an important part of their weekends once more.
“Football has to win back some of the credibility it has lost,” Kehl admits. “We shouldn’t promise change without being reasonably certain that we can actually deliver on it. But what’s become obvious in this crisis is that football cannot exist without supporters and the backing from society on the whole.”
Dortmund, with their strong sense of local identity and supporter involvement, are well placed to drive that rapprochement. But before they can turn their attention to a better future for football, there’s a season to be finished and a derby to be played. “It won’t be the same without the noise and the emotions in the stands, for sure,” Kehl says. “We will all miss the usual atmosphere. But despite of all that, it’s still a chance to achieve something that’s dear to our fans.”

Got my hands on:
Would love to share some of the contents which I thought are rather interesting and/or insightful. The posts are going to be long and chunky though, so please bear with it. I am also not going to 'binnify' the contents for 2 reasons - 1. it'll be unfair if I didn't bold information that may be of interest to you 2. the selected chapters are pretty rich in content - I'll end up bolding majority of the text!
----------------------------------------
Inspiration not Imitation: Klopp's Training Method (Part 1 of 2)
Though the greatest inspiration for Jurgen Klopp's managerial career has been Wolfgang Frank, he was not the only manager he had learned from. In his eleven years at Mainz as a player, he played under another nine coaches: Robert Jung, Josip Kuze, Hermann Hummels (the father of Mat Hummels), Horst Franz, Reinhard Saftig, Didi Constantini, Dirk Karkuth, Rene Vandereycken and Eckhard Krautzun.
Even as a player, Klopp had finely turned antennae and a natural 'filter' that allowed him to 'pick out the right things. You could learn something from every manager. For me it was less about the training drills we did than what the manager was like as a personality. What's his philosophy and how does he get it across? Those were the things I always paid attention to.' Not that Klopp has any records of those training sessions, having made a conscious decision not to keep notes: 'I've always thought, I can remember the important stuff and forget the rest.'
One a manager, Klopp has taken a similar approach to the latest advances in football management. Klopp is sometimes considered the embodiment of the modern manager, thanks to his understanding of the game and ability to see beyond the traditional, but he is no blind follower of the latest trends. As with observing his different managers at Mainz, he has the knack of taking on board what is useful and discarding the unhelpful.
In recent years, professional football has been subject to an ever greater influence from sports science. Managers have been turning into new methods that are often reliant on information technology. The field of statistical analysis in particular, whether the data is taken from training or from a match, has seen exponential growth thanks to technological developments. Today's managers have number at their fingertips their predecessor never had: How many kilometres has a player run? How many tackles completed? Who has had how many touches of the ball? There are any number of specialists in charge of different areas that a modern manager can call upon: conditioning trainers, goalkeeping coaches, video analysts, scouts and so forth.
Yet, for all these possibilities, Klopp has always been circumspect in his use of new technology, particularly the roles of statistics. Take his opinion on the work of sport scientist Dr Roland Loy, an authority on the use of statistics in football. He has written a number of books on the subject, as well as developing databases for the football show ran on German channel Sat1 and advising the sports department of the broadcaster ZDF. For his research, Loy has analysed more than 3000 football matches in the last twenty years, in the process disproving many common assumptions. For example, he discovered that the hardest tackling team doesn't always win (only in 40 percent of matches); and rather than the received wisdom that attacking down the wings is more likely to lead to a goal than going through the middles, his analysis showed that both roues are equally likely to lead to a goal. Klopp, however, has limited interest in Loy's work: 'I know Roland, we worked together in [TV presenter] Johannes Kerner's team at the World Cup in South Africa. I place 0.0 per cent faith in his statistics and he knows it too. I've said it to his face so I feel perfectly comfortable saying it in public.'
Klopp isn't dismissive of statistics per se, adding that, 'I'm a huge fan though of stats that look at the last game or maybe evaluate the entire season.' But certainly he puts a lot of faith in his observations, rather than numbers on a spreadsheet: 'I'm a big proponent of the idea that you have to see for yourself. Most of the time, I'll know if our build-up play is too slow before anyone hands me any date. After all, I've got nothing else to do but train a team and deal with football day in day out. I don't need any hard numbers for that. I've been trained to spot these things myself.'
One area where Klopp puts more faith in scientific methods is on the question of stamina. Advances in sports science have made it possible to tailor training regimes to the fitness level of individual players.A player who's 'raring to go' can be handled differently from one recovering from injury, who's just returning to full training after a long period of convalescence. Klopp's maxim is that no player should have too much - or too little - asked of them in training. To make sure this happens, Klopp uses lactate tests: lactate is produced as a metabolic breakdown during exercise, as soon as the muscles can no longer produce enough energy from aerobic oxygen; lactate concentrations therefore offer a guide to the stamina levels of the player. Lactic acid levels can be determined by taking a blood sample from an earlobe. The relative simplicity of the tests makes them an ideal aid during pre-season as the players undergo fitness training.
Felix Magath, who won the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg in 2009, has the same attitude to lactate tests as Klopp does to statistics: 'I don't need to do a lactate test to know whether a player is fit or not.' Kloop might agree with the sentiment, but thanks to the tests he knows 'where we need to place a player to do the right intensity of training. Because it would be foolish to go through a training session that was perfectly tailored to three of them, when for the rests it's either too intense or not intense enough.'
Such personalised training regimes were also made easier by the increasing resources available to coaches. Klopp offers one small example: 'You used to have one heartrate monitor for twenty players, now you have forty heartrate monitors for ten players. That opens up new possibilities and it's also easier working that way.' Together with the new scientific methods, then, there's also a much deeper well of information to draw from than earlier generations of coaches enjoyed. This greater depth of knowledge is ultimately of great benefit to the players, who are able to push the limits of their fitness.
Klopp is clear on the difference between training practices now and those he experienced as a player: 'I think that many of my generation of players were definitely trained a bit too hard. It was unbelievable how much we did in training. It was crazy how long we spent on the pitch, how much running we had to do and how hard we had to run. One of the main indicators as to whether training session had been hard enough was when at least one of the players threw up on the pitch. In contrast, the current training model has a much more nuanced understanding of effort and rest, of tension and relaxation.'
That Klopp is particularly focused on stamina training can come as no surprise. After all, stamina is crucial to the pressing style that is fundamental to his system. The importance of running was confirmed in Klopp's mind right at the start of his time at Dortmund: in July 2008 at the T-Home Supercup match against Bayern Munich, which Dortmund won 2-1. Klopp observed later that 'As a team we ran a total of 121 kilometres. That didn't say all that much to me at the time, because I hadn't used these values as part of my work before.' Yet during the course of the 2008-09 season, when Dortmund failed to win a single match from the first seven games that followed the winter break, Klopp brought the statistic back into his calculations: 'I discovered that we hadn't got further than 113 kilometres in these games.'
Klopp had some time to work with the squad at a training camp: 'I made a deal with the players there: if you can manage to run more than 118 kilometres in nine out of ten games, you'll get three extra days' holiday. And the players actually went out and did it.' Freshly motivated, the players finally broke their bad run against Werder Bremen. Alexander Frei's spot-kick gave the Borussians their first win of the Ruckrunde, the second half of the season. This was just the beginning: those seven winless games were followed by seven victories in a row as Dortmund chalked up twenty-one points.
At the start of his tenure, Klopp was concerned with doing 'more' than the opposition, with literally running them ragged. As time went on, the 'how' became more important: ' We've started being much cleverer with our runs now. We have more of the ball and we don't need to run so far when the opposition has it.' The chances of winning a game aren't derived from the number of kilometres the players have put behind them alone. Dortmund went on to have some great performances without particularly impressive running stats, and they also had poor performances with enormous distances run. Nevertheless, it's a piece of information that Klopp is still fond of turning to, especially when the team is going through a bad patch.
It's a statistic some other managers have commented on to humorous effect. During the International Coaching Congress in Bochum in 2011, Hannover 96 manager Mirko Slomka offered a different reason for Dortmund's high mileage - suggesting that the Dortmund numbers were being massaged by the addition of the mileage generated during their collective goal celebrations. After all, they had sixty-seven occasions to celebrate in the 2010-11 season compared to a 'mere' forty-nine for fourth-placed Hannover. Klopp responded to the suggestion in kind: ' That's right, against Hannover alone we scored four goals on two occasions, that's an extra 400 kilometres ...'
Managerial banter aside, the emphasis on running at Klopp's Borussia Dortmund is made clear by a look at the numbers. In the first game of the 2011-12 season, at home against Hamburg, the Bundesliga database IMPIRE revealed the following interesting points: with 58 per cent possession, the Borussians ran a total 124.67 km, Sven Bender proved himself once again a tireless worker bee. Klopp's team were also superior to the opposition when it came to sprints, with 193 compared to 150. The number of misplaced passes also reflected the one-sidedness of the encounter. While nearly a quarter of Hamburg's passes (23.6 per cent) failed to find their target, the home team's passes failed to find a teammate only 13.6 per cent of the team.
The revealing nature of this mountain of data - which was accessible not just to the clubs but also the media and hence the public - provoked some criticism at the start of that season. There were fears that players were reduced to living spreadsheets who would be judged entirely on their 'km run' - leaving less mobile players to be 'singled out', although how much a player runs is very much dependent on their position and role in the team.As such information has become more commonplace, it feels as if a more nuanced and realistic appraisal of such statistics has become the norm.
Jurgen Klopp is open-minded in the best sense of the word: always ready to listen to new ideas that might give him and his team that extra advantage. One of the most effective pieces of training equipment that Borussia Dortmund possess is the 'Footbonaut' at their Brackel training complex. During Klopp's appearance on ZDF Sportsudio in September 2012, a computer animation demonstrated how the piece of kit works. Similar to a tennis-ball machine, balls are fired at the player inside the Footbonaut cube . He then has to shoot it as quickly as possible into one of the seventy-two target squares that light up. There are two football guns in each wall, meaning the ball could come from one of eight possible places. Speed and swerve can be adjusted. As a result, it's possible to closely simulate a real playing situation, training reactions, precision, control and placement. At the time of the TV appearance, the device was still being trialled, but went on to be a permanent and flagship addition to the training facilities.
Another part of Klopp's training regime at Dortmund came about by chance. Klopp was watching TV when he came across Life Kinetik, the mental training system developed by sports instructor Horst Lutz. And he was clearly enthusiastic about the system: 'Life Kinetik is incredibly exciting, it's a real eye-opener. For managers, it's something you really need to look into.'
Life Kinetik is a training system designed to improve brain function by challenging the body to complete complex tasks. According to its website, 'Life Kinetik is a fun exercise program based on motion to enhance mental capabilities. Life Kinetik training forces all brain areas to actively take part and master the given movement challenges and therefore it creates new connections in our brain. The training works by simultaneously combining exercises of different movement patterns, visual tasks and cognitive elements. Life Kinetik accomplishes this with the help of ever changing exercises that scale the difficulty level to the ability of each person.'
Employing training methods like Life Kinetik helps Klopp to increase his player's (mental) flexibility. A practical exercise might look like this: a ball is thrown towards a player while at the same time he's told a certain colour. Each colour stands for a particular action: trap the ball with your left or right foot, head the ball back, or control it on your chest. More demanding exercises such as juggling the ball or catching it with crossed arms are also part of the programme. The tasks are hard to come to grips with, and that's intentional - this forced coordination is a learning process designed to generate new synapses.
The added value for footballers lies in sharpened perception and faster reaction times - qualities that are essential in modern high-tempo football. The first improvements should be noticeable after two to eight weeks of training for an hour a week. Life Kinetic has another bonus for professional footballers as well. As Klopp says, 'How can I work with the lads without asking too much of them physically? I'd like to conduct training sessions eight hours a day, but that's not possible ... so we think about things we can do with them off the pitch.' It's a low-intensity programme that allows for additional training without overloading the players.
Klopp is convinced that you have to keep improving all the time, as his use of such innovative methods shows. 'It's all about keeping informed. That's my job as a manager. You get bombarded with huge amounts of information, and most of it you can happily discard right away. But if there's 20 per cent among that that's really worth working with, then it's completely worth the effort.'
Inspiration not Imitation: Klopp's Training Method (Part 2 of 2)
Thanks to his multi-faceted approach to training, Klopp managed to achieve at Dortmund what Jurgen Klinsmann had stated as his ambition when he took charge of Bayern Munich in 2008: 'To make each player a little better every day.' The evidence can be found in analysis of a selection of players from his 2011-12 squad.
Take Kevin Grosskreutz, who returned to Dortmund in 2009 from the second division team Rot Weiss Ahlen. He was initially viewed primary as a squad player - warming the bench and stepping in if needed. Yet as it turned out, Grosskreutz, who as a kid had been no stranger to the South Stand, worked the left flank assiduously, fighting his way into the first eleven through tenacity and desire. His well-earned reward was to be an ever-present in the league during the 2010-11 championship season. Klopp's management had improved the native Dortmunder both tactically and technically, and in May 2010 he celebrated his first cap in Germany's 3-0 win over Malta.
Another success story was Sven Bender. It's true that Bender wasn't exactly a blank slate when he arrived from second division 1860 Munich as a twenty-year-old in 2009. As an Under-17 player, his outstanding talent had won him the DFB's bronze Fritz Walter Medal for the Bundesliga's rising stars of 2006. But how many players have shown tremendous promise only to stagnate in their development because their manager lacked the courage to put them in the team and give them pitch time? No one could ever accuse Klopp of not having courage. When a long-term injury to captain Sebastian Kehl offered Bender and opportunity in midfield alongside Nuri Sahin, he took it, cementing his place in the side. Like Grosskreutz, tough-tackling defensive midfielder Sven also went on to be capped for Germany.
Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic were two other players who became full internationals under Klopp's guidance. Subotic was part of the Serbia team that beat Germany 1-0 in South Africa in 2010. Klopp had shown complete faith in two nineteen-year-olds when he arrived at Dortmund and made them his central-defensive partnership. Although lacking in experience, the pair made up for it by being strong in the tackle, having excellent technique, a great tactical understanding, and the ability to open up the game with the ball at their feet.
Dortmund's Brazilian defender Felipe Santana would probably have been a certainty for the first eleven at almost any other Bundesliga club - but there was no way past Hummels and Subotic for him.
Another player whose progress really excited Klopp was full-back Marcel Schmelzer, whom he brought into the senior squad from the Dortmund youth team: He has developed more than any other player I have ever known.' Repeating the pattern of other Dortmund players, Schmelzer also managed to break into the German national team.
That Klopp put great emphasis on promoting and developing youth players made him particularly valuable for the 'new' Dortmund. 'This manager is the best fit in Germany to help us make our concept of bringing through young players a reality,' chairman Hans-Joachim Watzke said of Klopp in 2011. Two years earlier, the Dortmund Academy had been opened, which was coupled with the extension to the training complex. This unified set up, according to the club homepage, had a target of 'optimising the footballing and personal development of BVB's players and coaches'.
The Academy offered a varied and forward-thinking programme: personal development was considered just as important as sporting progress; media training was part of the programme, as was sports psychology, nutrition and tactical analysis. The academy had support from psychologists at Ruhr University Bochum, who taught alongside Dortmund coaches. The courses were run in addition to the normal training schedule.
Within this school-like system, age groups were divided into Under-9, through Under-15, Under-17, Under-19, as well as Under-23 and the development squad. The aim is to have as many youth players as possible graduate to the full professional squad, or at least give them the best possible preparation for a life in football elsewhere. It was a talent production line reminiscent of Barcelona's famous La Masia youth academy.
It's not just here that Klopp and Dortmund had followed Barcelona's Mes que un club ('More than a club') approach. Barcelona's playing style, too, was one of Klopp's key reference points. This was not so much because of their heady attacking fireworks, but because of their lightning transitions when they lost the ball. 'It's extraordinary how high up the pitch this team is when they win the ball back,' Klopp once noted. 'And the reason they can do that is because every player presses. I think Lionel Messi is the one who wins the ball back the most when he loses possession. If he loses possesion, he's right back there the moment the opposition player takes a touch, to win the ball back. The players press like there;s no tomorrow, as if the most enjoyable thing about football is when the other team has the ball. And what that does for them is for me the biggest achievement of all. The best example that I've ever seen in football.'
Under the guidance of Josep 'Pep' Guardiola, Barcelona won a total of twelve trophies between 2009 and 2011, including the Champions League twice - each time beating Manchester United in the final. In the 2011 final the Catalans were so dominant that the then United manager Sir Alex Ferguson conceded, 'They do mesmerise you with the way they pass it ... I would say they're the best team we've faced ... No one has given us a hiding like that.'
Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of Barcelona's success during this period is that they never seemed to lose their desire despite an era of almost unparalleled achievement in which each new trophy demanded yet another be won. 'They celebrate every goal as if they had never scored before. You get the feeling they'll never be satisfied,' said Klopp in admiration. It's at this moment that it became clear that the Bundesliga titles weren't going to change Klopp either: he was still hungry for more.
Klopp appreciated the fact that while Barcelona might have followed a set game plan, they were never robotically following orders: the reasoning of the tactics was always explained to them, as they emphasised themselves when interviewed. They weren't just following their manager's instructions, they were internalising them - one of Guardiola's greatest achievements. Klopp also noted the Catalan's selflessness, despite the fact that almost to a man they were fantastic individual talents: 'A Xavi or Iniesta has no joy in having the ball for the sake of it: that doesn't interest them at all. they keep the ball moving. Xavi once said in an interview regarding that: "I recycle the ball just before the opponent reaches me - for me, that's the most beautiful moment in football." That's what he does. And right now, that's the standard everyone in world football looks up to.'
The result was that Barcelona were able to dominate European football like no team had done since AC Milan twenty years earlier under tactical genius Arrigo Sacchi, and featuring the world-class Dutch trio of Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Marco van Basten in the team. Klopp had no pretensions about reaching Barcelona's level: 'We aren't all going to get there, because even if we had exactly the same plan, we wouldn't have the same players.' But even if it wasn't possible to match Barcelona, they could stil be beaten in one-off games, couldn't they? Klopp's recipe for beating Barcelona was as follows: a team that would back itself to 'defend high up the pitch' and be prepared to lose the 'small challenges'; his logic was to challenge for the ball intelligently, preventing Barca from settling into their tiki-taka game and running circles around their opponents. Even then he added the following proviso: 'Keeping that up for ninety minutes, that would be a feat of concentration that the world probably hasn't seen since Albert Einstein.'
For all Klopp's admiration for Barcelona, he remains far less enthusiastic about teams who don't try to play. Take Dortmund's match at Barcelona's La Liga rivals Sevilla in December 2010. It was the last game of the Europa League group stage, and with the score tied at 2-2, Klopp's side needed to score one more to go through. Yet the hosts held on by using every trick in the book to waste time until the ninety minutes were up. Six months later, Klopp was still unable to conceal his anger: ' Last season we were in a Europa League group with Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain. We gained a lot of useful experience. For example, how Sevilla parked the bus for sixty minutes at home and ran the clock down to such an extent that my players were lost for words at their cowardice afterwards.' As much as Klopp appreciates the skill of a Barcelona, he is equally less impressed by 'dirty' victories - for him, the end emphatically does not justify the means.
That Sevilla match taught Klopp a valuable lesson. In response to the opposition tactics, Dortmund stopped playing their own game. Instead of their usual fluid combinations, they started desperately humping the ball forwards - the young Dortmund eleven had allowed themselves to be rattled by Sevilla's negative tactics. Keeping patient and playing their normal game would have been the better course of action.
It wasn't the first time that Klopp had been taught this lesson of maintaining your tactics: 'As a very new manager I was fortunate enough to come up against Peter Neururer, who was manager at Rot-Weiss Ahlen at the time [Klopp's Mainz played Ahlen in May 2001]. We played 4-3-3 instead of our usual 4-4-2, and he brought on a third central defender and started man-marking us. And then we thought, young and wild as we were: "Right, let's change the system," so we only had two strikers left on the pitch so we could escape the man-marking. That's all a load of rubbish. Always, always stick to doing your own thing.'
Klopp learned an important lesson from this experience: 'What's critical is finding stability, that comes way before flexibility. Stability gets you points and wins you games.' Flexibility gives you more options, it's a kind of 'bonus'. Klopp also put an emphasis on stability because football is a team sport: 'The willingness of the players to work together as a team is crucial. After all, that's why we started playing football and not an individual sport like tennis. We wanted to be part of a group, and that's something we need to accept as a golden rule until the end of out lives: I'm only as strong as my teammates let me be. Then it works beautifully. Thanks to stability.'
Klopp extends this belief in the importance of his team to his refusal to mollycoddle his players. When the subject of Italy forward Mario Balotelli, who while at Manchester City threw a dart at a youth-team player, came up, Klopp didn't mince his words: if one of his players pulld a stunt like that 'they would never wear this club's shirt again. He won't get a second chance to make a mistake like that: "Look, you might be able to play, but I don't want to see your face again." Not when we've got so many lads who are a joy to work with.'

Bellingham is seen as the ideal successor to the veteran Luka Modric and aging Toni Kroos, who are 37 and 33 respectively. The 19-year-old Bellingham has already made close to a hundred appearances for Dortmund.
"No offer on the table at the moment, no news, nothing to decide - Jude's focused on the final games then we'll see, Kehl told ESPN.
He claims the club will do everything in their power to hold onto Bellingham no matter the size of the bid.
"Astronomical bids? We've no guidelines. We always fight to keep the best players here, he said.

Sebastian Walter Kehl (German pronunciation: [zeˈbasti̯a(ː)n ˈkeːl]; born 13 February 1980) is a German former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder. He is currently the Sporting Director of Borussia Dortmund.
He amassed Bundesliga totals of 314 games and 24 goals over the course of 15 seasons, representing in the competition SC Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund. He won six major titles with the latter club, including three national championships.
A Germany international for five years, Kehl appeared for the nation in two World Cups – finishing second in the 2002 edition – and Euro 2004.
Following his retirement, Kehl first worked as the “Head of First Team Football” for Borussia Dortmund before it was announced that he would be taking over as Sporting Director, following the retirement of Michael Zorc.
Club career
Born in Fulda, Hesse, Kehl joined Hannover 96's youth system in 1996 at the age of 15, going on to appear in two 2. Bundesliga seasons with the first team. In the 2000 summer he signed for SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga, making his debut in the competition on 12 August by playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–0 home win against VfB Stuttgart, and scoring his first goal on 12 December of that year to help to a 2–1 away success over VfL Wolfsburg.
Under manager Volker Finke, Kehl featured mostly as a sweeper, helping the Black Forest club qualify to the 2001–02 UEFA Cup in his first season, before the club suffered relegation in his second season. He was no longer part of the squad, however, as he had left in the 2002 January transfer window to Borussia Dortmund, who went on to win the championship with 15 games and one goal from the player. Previously, in summer 2001, he controversially agreed basic terms with FC Bayern Munich, and even accepted an advanced payment of 1.5 million Deutsche Mark, which was returned in November as Bayern threatened to take legal action.
During his tenure with Dortmund, Kehl was more often than not a starter. He contributed with 12 matches in the 2002–03 UEFA Champions League to help his team reach the second group phase, and amassed 61 league appearances from 2004 to 2006 in back-to-back seventh-place finishes.
On the first day of the 2006–07 campaign, Kehl injured his left knee in a challenge with Bayern's Hasan Salihamidžić, sidelining him for several months and only recovering fully at the start of 2008–09, when he was made captain by new coach Jürgen Klopp. He eventually relapsed on his condition, also losing his importance in the starting XI after the emergence of Sven Bender and Nuri Şahin.
On 27 July 2013, Kehl played the second half of the DFL-Supercup against Bayern Munich, replacing Bender in an eventual 4–2 win. In September, he was put out of action for another lengthy period after injuring his ankle in training.
Kehl began hinting at retirement in March 2014, shortly after having agreed to a one-year extension to his contract. The 35-year-old confirmed it at the end of the 2014–15 season, after having taken part in 21 games to help Dortmund come from behind in the table and qualify to the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League.
In April 2018, Borussia Dortmund announced that Kehl would become its players licence department director starting on 1 June.
In June 2021, Borussia Dortmund announced that Kehl would be the successor to sporting director Michael Zorc following his retirement in the summer of 2022.
International career
Kehl earned the first of his 31 caps for the Germany national team on 29 May 2001, in a 2–0 friendly win against Slovakia in Bremen where he came on for Marko Rehmer after 45 minutes. He scored his first goal on 15 August of that year, contributing to a 5–2 win over Hungary in another exhibition game.
Selected for both the 2002 and the 2006 World Cups, Kehl played twice (against Paraguay and United States) in the former tournament as the Mannschaft finished in second place, and started in two of his four appearances to help to the third place in the latter.
Personal life
Kehl is married to Tina Kehl. They have three children.

Borussia Dortmund have appointed former captain Sebastian Kehl as their new head of the licensed player division, effective June 1.
Having played for Dortmund from 2002 until his retirement in 2015, Kehl is a three-time Bundesliga champion and won a domestic double winner in 2012.
Three years later, Kehl, 38, is now set to return to Borussia Dortmund in the newly created position of head of licensed player division, the Bundesliga club announced on Monday.
"By bringing Sebastian into the fold, we have completed the sporting direction headed by [sporting director] Michael Zorc," CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement.
"The new tasks with which he is charged are of the utmost importance for our further sporting development."
By appointing Kehl, Dortmund are hoping to bridge the gap between the club offices near the Westfalenstadion and their training facilities in Brackel, one of the city's eastern suburbs.
"Sebastian brings a high level of specialist knowledge and competence with him and is a figure with whom everyone can identify," Zorc said.
After retiring from football and travelling the world as a backpacker, Kehl completed a qualification in management at UEFA and also his UEFA A coaching licence.
"I am looking forward to the challenge, the opportunity to participate in the shaping of this club's sporting future and to [share the] responsibility for that," Kehl said.

He spent over 13 years as a Borussia Dortmund player, wearing the captain's armband for six seasons and lifting three Bundesliga trophies. Now, Sebastian Kehl is tasked with restoring his club to their former glory as he replaces the long-standing Michael Zorc as BVB's sporting director.
"I have felt very closely connected to this great club for almost 20 years now," Kehl declared in June 2021, when he was announced as Zorc's successor. "I'm proud to be given the opportunity to shape the sporting future of Borussia Dortmund."
Before looking to what lies ahead, however, bundesliga.com invites you on a trip down memory lane to get a clearer picture of the man who will be looking to take the Black and Yellows back to the summit of the German game.
1) He chose Dortmund over Bayern
'The summit of the German game' can usually be defined in two words: Bayern Munich. And yet Kehl rejected a lucrative offer from the record Bundesliga champions in the summer of 2001, preferring to join Dortmund midway through the following season.
Kehl turned pro with Hannover in 1998, but really started making a name for himself at Freiburg (2000-02), where he was deployed as a sweeper by legendary coach Volker Finke. Drawing comparisons with the great Franz Beckenbauer, Kehl helped the Black Forest club reach the UEFA Cup in 2000/01, as they finished sixth in the Bundesliga. He also earned his first call-up to the Germany squad, making his international debut under Rudi Völler in May 2001.
Watch: Kehl's top 5 Bundesliga goals
Bayern and Dortmund were soon engaged in a tug of war to secure the services of the Hessen native, who was then just 21 years old. He eventually opted for the latter, penning a four-year deal with BVB in January 2002.
"I'm delighted to have him," said then BVB coach Matthias Sammer, who previously occupied the same sweeper position as Kehl. "I'm counting on him performing right away."
Sammer would not be disappointed. Kehl played all but one of the remaining 16 Bundesliga games for Dortmund that term, helping them secure the title just ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern. It was the first time they had lifted the Meisterschale since 1995/96, when Sammer himself was anchoring the midfield in the same libero position as Kehl.
2) Jürgen Klopp made him Dortmund captain
Kehl was the new kid on the block when he joined Dortmund at the start of 2002, but by the time Jürgen Klopp was appointed as coach in summer 2008, the battling midfielder had established himself as one of the squad's leaders – and a firm fan favourite.
'Sebastian, please stay and sign!' read one BVB banner during the 2005/06 campaign, a few months before Kehl's contract was set to expire – and he did exactly that, extending through to 2008. "I belong here," he confessed, saying he had 'followed his heart' despite offers from abroad. "I identify with the club and the supporters. I believe we can make a step forward and reach European competition again in the next few years."
In the mid-2000s the club had struggled to keep pace with the Bundesliga frontrunners. After their title win of 2001/02, they finished third and sixth in their next two seasons under Sammer. Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk could only manage successive seventh places, before Dortmund laboured to ninth and 13th place – their worst finish in 20 years – under Thomas Doll. But their fortunes were set to change when Klopp came on board in 2008, after an impressive seven-year stint in charge of Mainz.
One of his first major decisions was to give 28-year-old Kehl the captain's armband, to succeed retiring skipper Christian Wörns. "When you think of Dortmund, Sebastian is the first player who comes to mind," Klopp explained. "He's an integral member of the team. And football-wise, he has all the attributes to lead from the front."
Slowly but surely, Klopp began to work his magic at the Signal Iduna Park, lifting BVB to sixth place in 2008/09 and fifth in 2009/10, before finally guiding them to another Bundesliga title in 2010/11. Kehl remained one of his most trusted lieutenants throughout, although injuries prevented him playing a major role on the pitch in Klopp's first title-winning season. He was a much more central figure as they defended the Bundesliga crown in 2011/12, before beating Bayern Munich 5-2 in the DFB Cup final to complete a memorable double.
"Jürgen has a special charisma, he's a very positive man," Kehl once told the Daily Mail, after Klopp traded Dortmund for Liverpool in 2015. "He carries everybody with him, it's a special type of people management. But he's not walking around with a magic wand, you know? He's following his plan and just wants everyone to give their best. You feel it every day. It's hard work."

3) He suffered a series of injury setbacks
Hard work was something Kehl became all too familiar with over the course of his 13 and a half years with Dortmund, especially when it came to his physical fitness. By the time he retired in 2015, he had amassed 362 appearances for Dortmund in all competitions – but without a host of injury woes, it could easily have been closer to 500.
Kehl was plagued by all manner of problems during his career – thigh, knee, ankle, shoulder, hamstring, groin, you name it – but his most significant injury was one of the earliest.
On 12 August 2006, Dortmund played Bayern in the season opener at Allianz Arena, and in the 19th minute Hasan Salihamidzic slid in on Kehl with his studs up, causing a deep laceration to his knee. BVB thought their star midfielder would only be out for three or four weeks, but the injury was worse than expected, requiring surgery and lengthy rehabilitation. Kehl barely featured for the rest of the season as Dortmund finished ninth, with one of their shareholders describing it to Sport-Bild as "the Bayern tackle that cost us 10 million euros".
Kehl publicly stated that he didn't feel Salihamidzic meant to injure him on purpose, but it was definitely a turning point in his career. He only made 14 Bundesliga appearances in the following campaign, 2007/08, and never played for Germany again. The last of his 31 caps for Die Mannschaft came in the third-place play-off at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a 3-1 victory over Portugal. He also scored two international goals, in friendlies against Hungary and Serbia and Montenegro.
In a curious twist, Kehl and Salihamidzic will occupy the same role at Dortmund and Bayern in 2022/23. The former Bosnia and Herzegovina international has acted as sporting director for the Bavarians since July 2017, filling a gap left vacant by Sammer the previous summer.
4) He has been recognised for his charity work
Kehl’s work ethic on and off the pitch extends beyond football, the 42-year-old happy to use his platform to help the greater good by involving himself extensively in charity work and social projects.
That is perhaps a direct result of his religious upbringing, and he remains a devout Catholic to this day, and even met Pope John Paul II in 2005.
Since 2003 he has been part of the ‘School without racism, school with courage’ project that aims to promote diversity in classrooms, sponsoring two schools in Lauterbach and Fulda. Kehl is also involved in the 'Fair Play Hessen' scheme, along with Steffi Jones, promoting integration, tolerance and fair play. Not only that but the former midfielder has been a member of the board of trustees of the DFL Foundation since 2019.
In recognition of his efforts, Kehl was awarded the Hessian Order of Merit for his charity and social work in early 2020, an accolade he described as “a great honour”.
"Hessen has produced many outstanding footballers and among them is undoubtedly Sebastian Kehl,” said Volker Bouffier, Prime Minister of Hesse state at the time. “With all the great successes he has achieved in his career, it is always important to him to help his state. Sebastian Kehl is particularly committed to diversity, tolerance and fair play. He thus makes a contribution to the cohesion of our society. With that in mind, I am pleased to present him with the Hessian Order of Merit ribbon today."
5) He wants to take BVB back to the top
Make no mistake, however: Kehl’s generosity of spirit and sense of social responsibility mask a steely will to win; he is very much both the floating butterfly and the stinging bee.
After hanging up his boots in 2015, Kehl completed a qualification in management at UEFA, collected valuable work experience at the German Football Association (DFB) and the German Football League (DFL), and also completed his UEFA A Licence in coaching. All of which paved the way for him to accept a newly created role of Head of the Licensed Player Division at Dortmund in June 2018.
If that sounds like vague corporate speak, that’s because it is: in reality he was working closely with Zorc on everything from first-team squad planning and recruitment to youth team development, essentially being groomed for the job he has now been given.
"Sebastian has done a good job over the past few years and has already been able to prepare himself for his future role as BVB's sporting director," said Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke. "Of course he has big shoes to fill, but we are convinced that Sebastian has the necessary tools for his job."
Zorc believes the same: "Our work together was characterised by great trust from day one. Sebastian has gradually become involved in all the relevant areas of a sporting director. I appreciate his work very much. I think it’s a logical decision that the management has now decided to make him my successor in the summer of 2022.”
Now armed with the necessary qualifications and experience, both as a player and in the boardroom, Kehl is eager to kick on and help Dortmund consistently pick up silverware. "Creating the conditions for BVB to continue to be successful in the future is both an aspiration and an obligation for me," he said.
Having held his own in Dortmund’s midfield despite the emergence of the likes of Nuri Sahin and Sven Bender back in the day, that same drive and determination at management level can only be a good thing for BVB.

Borussia Dortmund veteran Sebastian Kehl scored a sensational extra-time winner in a 3-2 victory over visitors Hoffenheim on Tuesday to advance to the German Cup semi-finals and keep alive their hopes of European football next season. The 35-year-old, who retires at the end of the campaign after 13 years at Dortmund, came on in the second half and fired home from 25 metres. Without injured Mats Hummels and Marco Reus, Dortmund took the lead through central defender Neven Subotic in the 19th minute before Kevin Volland's superb volley levelled the match two minutes later. Serbia international Subotic then gifted Hoffenheim their second goal when he lost possession to Roberto Firmino, who charged through and beautifully chipped keeper Mitch Langerak.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Borussia Dortmund veteran Sebastian Kehl scored a sensational extra-time winner in a 3-2 victory over visitors Hoffenheim on Tuesday to advance to the German Cup semi-finals and keep alive their hopes of European football next season. The 35-year-old, who retires at the end of the campaign after 13 years at Dortmund, came on in the second half and fired home from 25 metres. Without injured Mats Hummels and Marco Reus, Dortmund took the lead through central defender Neven Subotic in the 19th minute before Kevin Volland's superb volley levelled the match two minutes later. Serbia international Subotic then gifted Hoffenheim their second goal when he lost possession to Roberto Firmino, who charged through and beautifully chipped keeper Mitch Langerak. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, however, made amends for his team mate's mistake, heading in the equaliser early in the second half before Kehl's superb winner in the 107th minute went in off the post. Dortmund, last year's beaten finalists, are looking to rescue an otherwise disappointing season by securing a Europa League spot after a dismal Bundesliga campaign. VfL Wolfsburg dominated but needed a second-half penalty from defender Ricardo Rodriguez to edge past fellow Bundesliga club Freiburg 1-0 and advance. The Swiss international, who also scored twice in the win over VfB Stuttgart at the weekend, converted a 72nd-minute spot-kick after Daniel Caligiuri was brought down by Julian Schuster. Holders Bayern Munich, chasing a treble of titles, play Bayer Leverkusen in another all-Bundesliga clash on Wednesday with Borussia Moenchengladbach taking on third-tier Arminia Bielefeld.

While being dubbed an ‘enemy of the state’ is usually anything but positive, it is a compliment as far as Timo Boll is concerned. The 34-year-old is Germany’s most successful table tennis player of all time and has been among the best in the world for more than a decade.
Despite managing to disrupt China PR’s overwhelming dominance in the sport on numerous occasions and inflicting several bitter defeats on its players during his career, Boll is among the most popular Germans in the People’s Republic. It therefore comes as no surprise that the country’s national team coach Liu Guoliang once paid tribute to the extent of his talent by referring to him as an “enemy of the state, an adversary of all 1.3 billion Chinese people. I won’t be able to rest easy as long as he’s playing”.
FIFA.com spoke exclusively with the Borussia Dortmund fan about his second passion away from table tennis, his favourites at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala and the role coaches play in every athlete’s career.
FIFA.com: Timo, what do table tennis and football have in common?Timo Boll:I think there are plenty of similarities, having played both sports to a high level in my youth. I was even named top goalscorer one season after scoring 90 goals – albeit in my U-8 and U-10 days (laughs). I really enjoyed playing, but I was very good at table tennis too and eventually had to pick one. I think I made the right decision and I’ve never regretted it. In any case, I still like playing football with friends or as a warm-up exercise.
Does that mean you were a striker in your youth? Indeed it does. I had an intuitive feel for a good shot rather than being a hugely technical player. I played a little like Lukas Podolski.
Do you train harder than footballers? No, I don’t think so. Every athlete tries to push themselves to the absolute limit. These days you have to train professionally in any sport; you can’t afford to be undisciplined or else chances pass you by. In table tennis we face huge competition from the Chinese and Asian nations in general, where players are professionally coached from a very early age, often starting out at eight or nine years old. It’s tough to catch up later when those kids are already training three or four times a day.
Is Bayern’s record in German football comparable to that of the Chinese in table tennis? It’s even more extreme in our sport. If you imagine Bayern also had Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar in their ranks, then that would be comparable to China’s standing within the world of table tennis.
You’re known for being a tactician. How important are tactics in table tennis? Is that aspect of the sport underestimated? The game certainly involves plenty of psychology, as you have to spend a lot of time weighing up your opponent and thinking about what they’re planning to make sure you can introduce an element of surprise. For that reason, there’s no doubt that the psychological aspect is even more significant in table tennis than in football. When you consider that the players competing at the highest level are very closely matched in technique, psychology becomes crucial, with each encounter decided by fine margins and the ability to think one step ahead of your opponents. In football this might be termed as having a ‘good feel’ for the game; in table tennis it’s a skill you need in every single rally.
In football there is often talk of teams ‘making their mark’ on a game. Is that something that also applies in table tennis? Yes, that concept can definitely be applied in my sport. For example, you could let out a loud roar when making your very first shot to let your opponent know who’s boss (laughs). Or you could play a more aggressive, high-risk game throughout, much like pressing your opponent hard right from kick-off in football.
What role do coaches play in table tennis? Coaches are unbelievably important during that first phase between the ages of eight and 18, as that’s when techniques are honed and weaknesses are ironed out in training. After that, improvement is a matter of fine margins that aren’t immediately apparent, and coaches can often spot these from the outside. That’s why it helps if the coaches themselves played at a high level previously, because they know what it’s like to be in your position. It’s no different in football, but there are definitely also examples of individuals who are good coaches despite having been less successful as players – those who are tactically brilliant, prepare superb video analyses and have a meticulous approach to their work.
What constitutes a spectacular goal for you? I’m a big fan of volleys and powerful long-distance strikes, and love to see balls fired into the top corner. As a player it also feels amazing when you pull off the perfect shot – you realise you’ve connected with it perfectly and can just watch it fly exactly where you want. That kind of brute force is fantastic. Of course there are also great solo runs where players dribble around ten opposition players, but for me the best thing of all is when a cross comes in for a player to hammer it home.
You are a huge Borussia Dortmund fan. Are you happy with their current form? I think we’ve got a genuinely great squad who are entertaining to watch, just like they have been over the past few years. We Dortmund fans have been able to count ourselves lucky in recent years. We were out of sorts for a couple of months last season but that happens every now and again.
You once injured yourself celebrating during a BVB match. How did that happen?(laughs) It was during that legendary 3-3 draw in the derby with Schalke. Dortmund had been 3-0 down, and when the equaliser went in I leapt up and tore my thigh muscle. Watching the game with a team-mate who’s a Schalke fan made it all the sweeter – I literally exploded when the score reached 3-3!
You were a guest of the national team back in 2008. What was that like? It was just before a match against England in Berlin. I was in Germany’s hotel and played a round with Arne Friedrich, Lukas Podolski and Heiko Westermann.
Were they all good players? Philipp Lahm plays pretty well, as does Heiko Westermann, who told me at the time that he played for a club for quite a while. He was a decent player. Sebastian Kehl also used to play for a club. All footballers have a good feel for the ball; you can see that straight away. There isn’t an uncoordinated one among them (laughs).
The results of the FIFA Ballon d’Or vote will be announced a week from now. Who do you think will collect the award – Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar? It’s tough to say, as football’s a team sport and this is an individual accolade. All three are incredible individual talents and they all deserve to win. Unfortunately there are no Germans on the shortlist this year, but at least we can call ourselves world champions. I’m sure the Germany players can cope with that (laughs).

10.24 Sport in Germany (2)
"König Fußball" (King Football)
As in Britain, football is by far the most popular spectator sport in Germany. The football clubs of Borussia Dortmund and FC Schalke 04 both attract an average over 60,000 fans per home game in the German Bundesliga, the top division in German football. In third place in terms of attendance is Germany's most successful club in terms of national and international titles - FC Bayern München. Bayern have won the German championship more than anyone else (17 times) and have also won the European Cup / Champions League four times, most recently in 2001. But there are also literally thousands of smaller football clubs throughout Germany. With more than 6.3 million members, the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB) (= German Football Federation) has the largest membership of any sports organisation in Germany.
The success of the German national team has also contributed to the mass appeal of "König Fußball" (= King Football). Germany has won the World Cup three times (1954, 1974, 1990) and has been runners-up on a further four occasions (1966, 1982, 1986, 2002). And footballing heroes such as Uwe Seeler, Franz Beckenbauer, Lothar Matthäus and Jürgen Klinsmann have proved excellent sporting ambassadors for the nation abroad.
German success at the 2002 World Cup
Finishing runners-up at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea was a sensational achievement for the team managed by popular ex-international Rudi Völler. For despite having won the European Championships in 1996, the German national squad had been widely perceived to be in decline. With not enough gifted players coming through the ranks, the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB) launched programmes campaigns aimed at spotting and developing young German talent. Former international striker Jürgen Klinsmann urged German children to start playing street football again in their spare time as he had done as a boy.
Expectations in Germany were thus quite low when the 2002 World Cup got started. Germany had required a playoff against Ukraine to qualify at all after an unconvincing qualifying campaign which had included a 5-1 home defeat against England in the Olympic Stadium in Munich.
Germany 1 England 5
Yet Germany grew in confidence as the tournament progressed. An 8-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, in which Miroslav Klose scored a hat-trick, laid the foundation for Germany to top a tricky frist-round group which also included Cameroon and Ireland. It was then the turn of defenders such as Sebastian Kehl to shine, as successive 1-0 victories over Paraguay, USA and hosts South Korea took the Nationalelf through to a clash in the finals with Brazil. Although an unfortunate error by goalkeeper Oliver Kahn ultimately handed Brazil a 2-0 victory, he was subsequently voted the player of the tournament by international journalists. And Kahn was cheered louder than anyone when the German team received a heroes welcome on their return to Frankfurt on July 1, 2002 (see pictures below).
Golden years until 2006?
Uli Hoeness, the general manager of Bayern Munich, predicted after the tournament that German football would now experience "golden years". On one level this seems plausible, not least because Germany itself will be hosting the next World Cup finals in 2006. On another level however, domestic football is crying out for the kind of shot in the arm which the unexpected success in the Far East could provide. TV viewing figures for the Bundesliga have been dropping steadily for years. Whereas in the 1995/96 football season, an average of 6.83 million viewers watched "ran", the Saturday night Bundesliga highlights programme broadcast by Sat 1, the figure had dropped to a mere 4.33 million viewers by December 2001.
And the pay TV channel Premiere, which has been showing all of the Bundesliga matches live for the last two seasons has only managed to attract 2.4 million paying customers. Most damagingly of all, the financial crisis affecting the Kirch media group leaves German football in as uncertain a position as British football after the collapse of ITV Digital. Many big clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt and 1.FC Kaiserslautern are already in extreme financial difficulties.
Other Sports
The German sporting landscape is quite different from that in Britain. Cricket and rugby have very little support in Germany, although rugby union is gradually establishing a presence in some towns and cities. Darts and snooker also enjoy a very limited media presence in Germany.
Winter sports on the other hand enjoy a much greater popularity in the Federal Republic than in the UK. The opportunities for alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing make Germany's mountainous regions a favourite destination for tourists. Both speed skating and in particular ice hockey are big spectator in Germany, with an average of 4,765 fans attending matches in the German ice-hockey league DEL. Germany in fact topped the medal table at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, winning twelve gold, sixteen silver and seven bronze medals. The speed skaters Claudia Pechstein and Anni Friesinger were in record-breaking form. Switzerland finished tenth in the medals table, and Austria finished twelfth.
Alongside basketball, volleyball and - increasingly - American football, handball is a good example of a sport that is much more popular in Germany than it is in Britain. More than five thousand handball clubs with 838,000 members belong to the German handball association Deutscher Handball-Bund (DHB).
Germany's cycling boom has developed steadily throughout the 1990s, triggered by the reunification of the country which brought the GDR's highly successful amateur cyclists into the professional fold. Deutsche Telekom, Europe's largest telecommunications and internet service provider, sponsors a cycling team which won the Tour de France two years running, in the shape of the Dane Bjarne Riis in 1996 and then homegrown star Jan Ullrich in 1997, who has also finished runner-up in the race four times in the last six years. Another German cyclist, Erik Zabel, managed won the Tour de France points jersey for Team Telekom six years in a row (1996-2001). It is testimony to the popularity of cycling in Germany that both Ullrich and Zabel regularly triumph in annual national sporting polls.
Team Telekom
Other German sports have similarly benefited from the success of individual athletes. Single-minded Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher has won the Formula 1 championship four times, and is joined on the start grid by his brother Ralf as well as compatriots Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Nick Heidfeld. The tennis boom initiated by the Wimbledon victories of Boris Becker, Steffi Graf and Michael Stich lasted for much of the 1990s, although in recent times the pool of German tennis talent seems to have dried up somewhat.
Bernhard Langer's victories in the US Masters in 1985 and 1993 can be seen to have triggered interest in golf - the number of golf clubs in the Federal Republic increased by 70% in the 1990s to its current figure of over 500. Yet these are primarily private clubs with high membership fees, targetted at the business community, the well-off and overseas tourists. The absence of public municipal golf courses will possibly prove as detrimental to the sport's growth as the lack of public courts has to tennis.

We’re approaching 10 years since the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a tournament remembered for entertaining matches, absurd goals, and Wayne Rooney stamping on a man’s bollocks. Given that the anniversary itself is being overshadowed both by anniversary nostalgia for another great tournament (Euro 96) and by an actual tournament happening, I thought I’d do a retrospective team-by-team guide to the World Cup, to see how much/little has changed in the decade since:
Group A
1. Germany – 9 (+6)
2. Ecuador – 6 (+2)
3. Poland – 3 (-2)
4. Costa Rica – 0 (-6)
Germany
Squad:
1. Jens Lehmann (Arsenal)
12. Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich)
23. Timo Hildebrand (Stuttgart)
2. Marcell Jansen (Borussia Monchengladbach)
3. Arne Friedrich (Hertha BSC)
4. Robert Huth (Chelsea)
6. Jens Nowotny (Bayer Leverkusen)
16. Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich)
17. Per Mertesacker (Hannover 96)
21. Christoph Metzelder (Borussia Dortmund)
5. Sebastian Kehl (Borussia Dortmund)
7. Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich)
8. Torsten Frings (Werder Bremen)
13. Michael Ballack (Bayern Munich)
15. Thomas Hitzlsperger (Stuttgart)
18. Tim Borowski (Werder Bremen)
19. Bernd Schneider (Bayer Leverkusen)
22. David Odonkor (Borussia Dortmund)
9. Mike Hanke (Wolfsburg)
10. Oliver Neuville (Borussia Monchengladbach)
11. Miroslav Klose (Werder Bremen)
14. Gerald Asamoah (Schalke 04)
20. Lukas Podolski (Cologne)
Captain: Michael Ballack
Head Coach: Jurgen Klinsmann
Never count out the Germans, etc. Germany entered their World Cup as many major tournaments hosts often do – in poor form, under enormous pressure and with expectations dropping. This reached the point where Jurgen Klinsmann, who had taken over as head coach following a disastrous showing at Euro 2004 under Rudi Voller, had seemingly already decided he was off at the end of the tournament regardless – maybe he realised that he would be found out as the massive fraud he is had he stayed on for another two years.
And yet you look at this side and think “not much was expected of THIS team?” I suppose hindsight is a wonderful thing, and it’s true that numerous players here had been underestimated – probably due to the typical lack of knowledge English pundits have for players who don’t play in England. But even so, surely it was obvious there was some ability in this team.
The team was fairly stable throughout the tournament. The goalkeeping situation that provoked the most controversy. Lehmann and Kahn’s relationship had reportedly reached Dutch levels of animosity when the former was given the starting job and the latter was left to bench-warm with Timo Hildebrand, although it cooled as the tournament progressed and Lehmann had an outstanding tournament. Kahn got a farewell appearance in the third place play-off; Hildebrand didn’t. See what being a miserable bastard gets you?
As with numerous German teams past and present, the weakness is at full-back, since Philipp Lahm was and still is yet to be cloned. Lahm played on the left in 2006 (hence cutting inside onto his right foot for his wonder goal against Costa Rica), with Friedrich (typically a centre-back) filling in on the right. Metzelder was the stand-out centre-back, while the 21-year-old Mertesacker blossomed enough alongside him to earn a move to Werder Bremen after the tournament.
The experienced Schneider and inexperienced Schweinsteiger operated on the flanks, with Ballack and Frings inside. Odonkor, a surprise call-up whose career would be ruined by injuries, was a regular off the bench. Klose finished as the tournament’s top scorer doing what Klose did best: score lots of scrappy goals from close range. Strike partner Podolski was as inconsistent as ever.
The truth is, though Germany did actually play very well, they were a bit fortunate with their draw. They weren’t given a particularly tough group, and were lucky Sweden capitulated in the second round without offering much of a threat. Argentina should have beaten them; Italy eventually did. At no point did they ever look like the best team in the tournament, but they were the hosts which did count for something. And this was at least a fun team to watch.
Ecuador
Squad:
1. Edwin Villafuerte (Deportivo Quito)
12. Cristian Mora (LDU Quito)
22. Damian Lanza (Aucas)
2. Jorge Guagua (El Nacional)
3. Ivan Hurtado (Al-Arabi)
4. Ulises de la Cruz (Aston Villa)
5. Jose Luis Perlaza (Olmedo)
13. Paul Ambrosi (LDU Quito)
16. Giovanny Espinoza (LDU Quito)
18. Neicer Reasco (LDU Quito)
6. Patricio Urrutia (LDU Quito)
7. Christian Lara (El Nacional)
8. Edison Mendez (LDU Quito)
14. Segundo Castillo (El Nacional)
15. Marlon Ayovi (Deportivo Quito)
16. Luis Antonio Valencia (Villarreal, on loan to Recreativo Huelva)
19. Luis Saritama (Deportivo Quito)
20. Edwin Tenorio (Barcelona SC)
9. Felix Borja (El Nacional)
10. Ivan Kaviedes (Argentinos Juniors)
11. Agustin Delgado (LDU Quito)
21. Carlos Tenorio (Al-Sadd)
23. Christian Benitez (El Nacional)
Captain: Ivan Hurtado
Head Coach: Luis Fernando Suarez
Ecuador were kind of a surprise, except they shouldn’t have been, given that this was such a weak group. Their progression was essentially sealed when they beat Poland, the only team likely to challenge them for second place in the group, in their first game. Suarez, later manager of Honduras in the 2014 World Cup, got them well-organised enough to concede few goals (2 clean sheets out of 4 is reasonable), and they were good enough going forward to score some goals.
At the heart of the defence was Hurtado, who by the start of the tournament had accumulated 130 of his eventual 168 caps and was playing in Qatar (only another seven transfers to come, Ivan). He is now a left-wing politician. Alongside him at right-back was English-based De la Cruz, who is also now a left-wing politician. He is one of six of this squad to have played in England, the others being Kaviedes, Delgado, Castillo, Valencia and the late Chucho Benitez. As you can see, there were varying degrees of success.
The wingers Valencia and Mendez were perhaps the most talented attackers in the team, the latter being one of the most underrated South American players of the decade and the only player to feature in all three of Ecuador’s World Cup squads (thanks to Walter Ayovi’s omission here). Carlos Tenorio and former Southampton striker Delgado grabbed two goals apiece, while former Crystal Palace striker Kaviedes celebrated his late goal against Costa Rica with a Spiderman mask, a tribute to his late team mate Otilino Tenorio who had died in a car crash a year before.
Their eventual exit was rather predictable; they were taken apart by Germany in the final group game which set them against England in the second round, and not even Sven could fuck that one up. They probably weren’t in the top 16 best teams in the tournament, but the record books show they were. A feel-good story, which Germany and England killed.
Poland
Squad:
1. Artur Boruc (Celtic)
12. Tomasz Kuszczak (West Bromwich Albion)
22. Lukasz Fabianski (Legia Warszawa)
2. Mariusz Jop (FC Moscow)
3. Seweryn Gancarczyk (Metalist Kharkiv)
4. Marcin Baszczynski (Wisla Krakow)
6. Jacek Bak (Al-Rayyan)
14. Michal Zewlakow (Anderlecht)
18. Mariusz Lewandowski (Shakhtar Donetsk)
19. Bartosz Bosacki (Lech Poznan)
5. Kamil Kosowski (Kaiserslautern, on loan to Southampton)
7. Radoslaw Sobolewski (Wisla Krakow)
8. Jacek Krzynowek (Bayer Leverkusen)
10. Miroslaw Szymkowiak (Trabzonspor)
13. Sebastian Mila (Austria Vienna)
16. Arkadiusz Radomski (Austria Vienna)
17. Dariusz Dudka (Wisla Krakow)
20. Piotr Giza (Cracovia)
9. Maciej Zurawski (Celtic)
11. Grzegorz Rasiak (Tottenham Hotspur, on loan to Southampton)
15. Euzebiusz Smolarek (Borussia Dortmund)
21. Ireneusz Jelen (Wisla Plock)
23. Pawel Brozek (Wisla Krakow)
Captain: Jacek Bak
Head Coach: Pawel Janas
Well, it was nice of Poland to turn up eventually – 2 games, 0 goals, 2 defeats, eliminated already, 1-0 down to Costa Rica, and then they suddenly realise they are a half-decent World Cup team and find 2 goals from a centre-back to win a game, to avoid the humiliation of finishing bottom of a group they were expected to qualify from. It wasn’t quite rescuing a bad situation but it was at least damage limitation – an upgrade from being pelted with rotten vegetables to just having a few bad headlines.
Poland had qualified as the best runners-up in UEFA, finishing only a point behind England after the English had decided to somehow lose to Northern Ireland and make it look closer than it actually was. It’s a strange one because the other teams in the group shouldn’t have been terrible – a Wales team that nearly qualified for Euro 2004, a Northern Ireland team that would nearly qualify for Euro 2008, and a solid Austria team that did OK at Euro 2008. The squad is theoretically alright too.
But there’s no magic there – aside from Magic Zurawski, anyway. It’s not at all inspiring. The only Lewandowski there is a defender. The only good performance was a defensive one: the stand against Germany, eventually with 10 men, that was cracked in stoppage time by Oliver Neuville.
I’d have hated to have been Polish watching this team, with memories of 1974 and 1982, of Deyna, Lato and Boniek. Why didn’t they beat Ecuador? Because Ecuador presumably interesting-ed them to death. Good on them. Shame Costa Rica didn’t hang on too.
Costa Rica
Squad:
1. Alvaro Mesen (Herediano)
18. Jose Porras (Saprissa)
23. Wardy Alfaro (Alajuelense)
2. Jervis Drummond (Saprissa)
3. Luis Marin (Alajuelense)
4. Michael Umana (Brujas)
5. Gilberto Martinez (Brescia)
12. Leonardo Gonzalez (Herediano)
15. Harold Wallace (Alajuelense)
22. Michael Rodriguez (Alajuelense)
6. Danny Fonseca (Cartagines)
7. Christian Bolanos (Saprissa)
8. Mauricio Solis (CSD Comunicaciones)
10. Walter Centeno (Saprissa)
14. Randall Azofeifa (Saprissa)
17. Carlos Hernandez (Alajuelense)
20. Douglas Sequeira (Real Salt Lake)
9. Paulo Wanchope (Herediano)
11. Ronald Gomez (Saprissa)
13. Kurt Bernard (Puntarenas)
19. Alvaro Saborio (Saprissa)
21. Victor Nunez (Cartagines)
Captain: Luis Marin
Head Coach: Alexandre Guimaraes
The first game was a false dawn: in scoring two against Germany, they had given them and the rest of us false hope that this Costa Rica team, spearheaded by a Premier League hero of the past back for one final flourish, could win one or two thrillers and somehow progress by sheer will power.
Unfortunately they just weren’t very good. It probably says more about Germany (and their hilariously bad defending that day) that they were able to score 2 in that first match. Granted, a couple of these guys were a part of the true giant-killers of 2006, and Wanchope and Solis had been good enough to work their way into the Premier League in the 1990s, but this wasn’t a particularly talented team. The three players who played outside Costa Rica in 2006 played in Italian Serie B, Guatemala, and MLS. Only Saborio made a name for himself after this.
Maybe it’s just me being judgemental towards Central American teams that aren’t Mexico, which I know little about and never really do much at World Cups, but this was a pretty shit team by World Cup standards. They had at least won a game in 2002, when they beat China, then held Turkey to a draw, and even put 2 past Brazil (albeit conceding 5). But four years on, they had regressed somewhat – their best players were the wrong side of 30 and it probably made the difference. It was a real shame after that first game.
Group B
1. England – 7 (+3)
2. Sweden – 5 (+1)
3. Paraguay – 3 (0)
4. Trinidad and Tobago – 1 (-4)

23. Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Captain: David Beckham
Head Coach: Sven-Goran Eriksson
Ah England. Specialists in failure, as Jose might say. This was supposed to be the Big One. “Our Moment”. In the last World Cup, England had scraped out of the groups primarily because of a smash-and-grab win over a vastly superior Argentina side, before getting dumped out by Brazil. That being said, this was an England team which had lost two key players (Gary Neville and Steven Gerrard) to injury, so we’ll let them off; it was an overachievement to get as far as they did. By Euro 2004, things were looking a bit brighter: they should have beaten France, they did beat Switzerland and Croatia, and were unfortunate to lose to Portugal on penalties.
However, in hindsight, it’s at this point that things start to unravel. This was already an unbalanced team, stacked in some positions, but with a reluctance to compromise: yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am of course referring to Lampard and Gerrard. It’s impossible to avoid this when talking about mid-2000s England. At this point, we’re talking Beckham and Scholes too, and then Joe Cole as well after Scholes decided he wanted no further part of this rabble, allowing him to retreat with his reputation in tact. It was utterly daft to play them all together. But of course it made sense too: they were high profile players with large personal/club followings and large sponsorship deals. There would have been massive uproar if either Gerrard or Lampard had been dropped for Owen Hargreaves, who should have been key, but he was laughed off until the end of the tournament, when everyone collectively realised he was actually good. Of course, after that his knee, sensing it was a part of the England setup, realised that it needed to give in, and England lost perhaps its most vital midfield cog of that generation of players.
The line-up for 2006 that always springs to mind is Robinson; Neville, Terry, Ferdinand, Ashley Cole; Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Joe Cole; Rooney, Owen. But actually that XI never played in the tournament. Rooney of course started the tournament on the sidelines injured, so Crouch got the nod for the first two games; Wayne came on after an hour for Owen against Trinidad and Tobago. Then Neville got injured and missed the next three games, with Carragher starting the next two and Hargreaves against Ecuador. Hargreaves also started the Sweden game in place of Gerrard, which was the only game where Owen and Rooney started together; as we all know, Owen then busted his knee after four minutes, being replaced by Crouch. After this, England played 4-5-1 in the remaining games with Rooney as the lone striker, Carrick as the holding midfielder against Ecuador, and Hargreaves in that role against Portugal.
Herein lies the problem: even with this supposedly more progressive formation, while they kept two clean sheets, England scored only one goal, from a Beckham free kick; in fact, Beckham also supplied the only goal against Paraguay, and the crucial first goal against Trinidad and Tobago too, while the rest came from moments of magic from Gerrard and Joe Cole. For all the attacking talent, Sven had somehow managed to neuter all the creativity. While playing Rooney and Owen together didn’t work (which often gets overlooked), Rooney was young and unfit, so it was stupid to play him up front alone. Even if England had won the shootout, he’d have been suspended for the semi-final, meaning it would have been Crouch up front alone, given that Sven had seemingly decided he wasn’t going to risk Walcott. It was never going to work out. This one is all on the manager.
Hindsight is 20/20. What England should have done is play 4-2-3-1, with Gerrard in behind Rooney, and Hargreaves and AN Other (Carrick maybe, or even Jenas; Scholes in an ideal world) sitting deep. This would have accommodated Gerrard and Beckham (who was always under-utilised by Eriksson) far better and given the side a stronger core. But that would have meant dropping Owen (fans’ favourite) and Lampard (in form for Chelsea, even if he never showed it for his country), which demonstrates that you couldn’t have pleased everyone. And obviously Defoe should have been taken ahead of Walcott. Obviously.
Also a reminder at this point that Aaron Lennon was frequently used off the bench and impressed with his pacy running and those other things he does/did. Stewart Downing also appeared in the first two games, then disappeared, which seems like an apt summary of his career. Jenas, Bridge and Walcott were the only outfield players who didn’t play.

After second-round berths in the previous two World Cups, Paraguay were perhaps a bit unfortunate to get such a tough draw, and certainly unlucky in the manner of their departure. But this was perhaps a balancing out of the luck they had had in the previous two tournaments. It was also representative of a midfield that was devoid of top-level creativity, but it wouldn’t be a Paraguay side if it was solid, unspectacular and pretty dull.
Either way, they were still unlucky. They went behind after just three minutes of their opener against England after captain Gamarra accidentally diverted a Beckham free kick into his own net. They then lost first-choice goalkeeper Villar (later responsible for Copa America penalty shootout heroics) five minutes later with an injury that would keep him out of the rest of the tournament, though Bobadilla hardly disgraced himself in the remaining games, conceding only one goal. And then in the next game, they succumbed to an 89th minute Ljungberg winner that knocked them out of the competition, albeit after being totally dominated by the Swedes. They were out having done little wrong at the back, but little right going forward. They did at least get a consolation victory over Trinidad and Tobago, but even then one of their two goals was a Brent Sancho own goal. Nelson Cuevas, also a scorer in 2002, was the only Paraguayan to score at the right end.
Paraguay had finished 4th in South American qualification, three points above Uruguay who went into, and lost, a play-off against Australia. It’s not hard to think that a Uruguay team with Recoba, Forlan, Montero, Zalayeta et al might have been a more interesting participant in the main tournament than this Paraguay team, even if not a more effective one. However, we should also bear in mind that it was missing Jose Cardozo, the team’s top scorer in qualifying with seven goals, who was forced out with a late injury. It’s a shame a very good collection of strikers and a solid defence was playing with such an average midfield.

Sweden continued their run of good-but-not-quite-good-enough tournaments here, a run which would eventually stretch from 2000 to 2008. As in 2002, they had enough quality progress, but rolled over far too easily when the going got tough in the second round; while losing to the Germans in Germany probably isn’t the most humiliating result, this one would have to go down as a disappointment.
The balance of the squad is quite nice: a good goalkeeper in Isaksson (though former Arsenal backup Shaaban played in the first game), a solid defence, a midfield with a mix of defensive and attacking individuals, two absolute stars in Ljungberg and Zlatan, and the vastly experienced Larsson in his final major tournament. And yet after the first round of games, they were perhaps the most embarrassed team in Germany, after failing to break down Trinidad and Tobago and slumping to a 0-0 draw. They struggled against Paraguay too, being rescued by a late goal from Ljungberg. With the under-performing Ibrahimovic dropped for the England game, they actually scored two, with Aston Villa flop Marcus Allback, who had been lively throughout the tournament, and Larsson getting the goals.
Then, in their final game, they left themselves with too much to do by going 2-0 down after 12 minutes, and this was compounded by Lucic’s harsh sending off (famed for referee Carlos Simon’s…unprofessional reaction) and Larsson blazing a second-half penalty into the crowd. For the third tournament in a row, this talented Sweden side had made it through the group stage, but no further. On the face of it, a shame. But I’m not sure they really deserved to go any further. It’s not overachievement or underachievement.

The Soca Warriors were the Caribbean’s encore after 1998’s Reggae Boyz. They were everyone’s second favourite team in this competition. They even came with their own fun song. It may be slightly disrespectful to compare them first and foremost to that great Jamaica team, but the parallels are there, particularly the many players from the English lower leagues. However, we should discuss the squad on its own merits. They, like Jamaica eight years before, were more than “the fun team”.
In goal, the squad had three goalkeepers who were well-known to fans of the English lower leagues. Kelvin Jack was initially meant to start the first game against Sweden, but was injured in the warm-up. Shaka Hislop, who had been called up by England for their friendly against Chile in 1998, was drafted in and produced a wonderful performance. He kept the starting spot for the game against the land of his birth, where he was again beaten from distance by Steven Gerrard, as he had been in the legendary FA Cup Final between Liverpool and West Ham a few weeks before. Jack started the third game against Paraguay.
Hislop, who had retired from international duty in 2004 but returned on hint of success, was one of several notable faces to come out of retirement for this time, which was largely welcomed. The other major additions were former Rangers midfielder Russell Latapy and his good friend Dwight Yorke, who had both quit in 2001 but returned in qualifying at the behest of Jack Warner (yes, that one). Yorke, who was quickly made captain of the team, was 34 and fresh from winning the very first A-League; to prepare for the World Cup, he had been training with his former club Manchester United. However, as is evident from the squad list, Trinidad and Tobago weren’t short of striking talent, and in the event, Yorke was moved back into central midfield, where he partnered Aurtis Whitley. He was so effective that Sunderland manager (and Yorke’s former team mate) Roy Keane hired him to perform this role for another three seasons. Both Yorke and Latapy, whose careers with the national side had begun in the late 1980s, played on for their country for another three years.
There were plenty of other English and Scottish Football League regulars. Dennis Lawrence, scorer of the winning goal in the play-off against Bahrain that qualified the Soca Warriors for the World Cup, had made over 200 appearances for Wrexham and soon moved to South Wales to join Swansea. Carlos Edwards had also made his name at Wrexham from 2000, and today plays for Millwall, his sixth English/Welsh club. Stern John had stints at nine English clubs in the Premier League or Championship. Ian Cox was born in Croydon and began his career at local club Crystal Palace, before long stints at Bournemouth, Burnley and Gillingham. Marvin Andrews, like Latapy, was a mainstay of the Scottish leagues including a stint at Rangers. Jason Scotland followed Lawrence to Swansea for a successful stint, later moving to Ipswich and Barnsley; today he plays for Stenhousemuir back in the country of his name. Kenwyne Jones would go on to be a well-known figure in the Premier League and Championship in the years to come, and is now Trinidad and Tobago captain, the only survivor of this team.
And then there’s Chris Birchall. In one of the most fascinating little stories of the 2006 World Cup, the Port Vale midfielder, born in Stafford, was eligible due to his mother’s birth in Port of Spain, and was asked to play for the team by Lawrence in the middle of a match. Birchall became the first white player to play for Trinidad and Tobago for sixty years; indeed, a BBC behind-the-scenes video suggested his nickname in the team was “Whitey”. Impressive performances led to a move to Coventry City, and eventually to MLS with Los Angeles Galaxy, playing with one of his more prestigious opponents from the World Cup. After a brief stint at Columbus Crew, he returned to Port Vale in 2013, the same year he retired from international duty.
The Soca Warriors acquitted themselves very well in their three matches, with a draw and two narrow defeats, albeit with no goals scored. As you might expect, they were defensively solid but limited. But they remain one of the more remarkable teams of recent major tournaments. With the retirements of their best players and their Central American rivals having improved in the years since, it’s unlikely we will see them in a World Cup again any time soon.

The hosts appear to be in very poor shape heading into the finals, possibly even at an historic low in terms of talent and imagination.
The same could have been said before the World Cup 2002 in Korea/Japan but somehow the team staggered like a drunk to the final against Brazil and an inevitable defeat after a bright enough start.
After a decent Confederations Cup in 2005 on home soil, under-fire coach Jurgen Klinsmann has tried various formations and changes in personnel, usually with the same end-result - defeat or a draw.
In recent warm-up games, Germany has lost to both Turkey and Italy, gained draws with Holland and France and beaten only a virtual reserve team USA in Dortmund. The last "big" team Germany have defeated was England at Wembley in 2002 World Cup qualifying way back in 2001 - five and a half years ago!
Germany are 7/1 with the bookies to win the trophy on home soil for the second time but chances of progressing beyond the quarter-finals look remote, despite massive home support. Injuries to Bayern's Sebastian Diesler and Philipp Lahm mean Diesler misses the whole tournament and key player Lahm, one of the few dependable defenders available to Klinsmann, needs to regain fitness soon. Klinsmann will not want to start with the lumbering Chelsea center-half Robert Huth in place of the out-of-form Christoph Metzelder.
Germany have looked slow and disorganized at the back and things are not much better further forward with goals hard to come-by and the national team reliant on a number of players of foreign descent for fire-power upfront.
Still, with a few victories under their belt in the group stage no-one should write off the German team on home turf.
INTERNATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
• World Cup Winners 1954, 1974 (as West Germany) and 1990.
• European Championship Winners 1972, 1980 (as West Germany), 1996
WORLD CUP RECORD
1938 First Round; 1974 Second Round; 1962, 1994, 1998 Quarter finals; 1958 Fourth place; 1934, 1970 Third place; 1982, 1986, 2002 Runners up; 1954, 1974, 1990 champions
COLOURS
White shirts with black, red and yellow piping, black shorts, white socks with a black trim.
TEAM STARS
Michael Ballack Chelsea (England)
Germany's brightest hope, Michael Ballack, has just completed his long drawn out pre-World Cup move from German champions Bayern Munich to the English Champions, Chelsea. Much rests on the shoulders of the talented 30-year-old from Karl-Marx-Stadt in the former East Germany. Ballack can both finish and set up chances and will be employed in an midfield attacking role by Klinsmann, probably supported by Torsten Frings in the holding role in the center and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Bernd Schneider on the flanks.
Jens Lehmann - Arsenal (England)
The hot-headed Lehmann has had a fine season at Arsenal despite his sending off in the Champions League final against Barcelona, which eventually cost his team the match. Lehmann has been confirmed as Germany's number one choice in goal after winning his personal duel with Bayern's Oliver Kahn - the MVP of the 2002 World Cup.
Lukas Podolski - Cologne
Germany's answer to Wayne Rooney turns 21 during the tournament, but unlike Rooney, Podolski has had a woeful season at relegated Cologne and must be short of confidence. Podolski will probably form an attacking duo with Miroslav Klose, another player of Polish descent.
Coach
Rookie coach Jurgen Klinsmann was a surprise choice for the job of Germany's manager, but then again more qualified candidates, Christoph Daum, Ottmar Hitzfeld and Otto Rehhagel didn't fancy the pressures that come with the job. The much traveled Klinsmann has been much criticised for spending a large part of his time at his Californian home rather than in Germany in the run-up to the tournament and was labelled by Der Spiegel magazine as "the most insulted German". If things go badly wrong in Group A, Klinsmann may have to stay permanently in the Californian sunshine, but, fortunately opponents Poland, Ecuador and Costa Rica should not tax the Germans too much, even this vintage of 2006. Confidence, momentum and belief could build before an expected second round clash with either Sweden or England.
World Cup Squad
Goalkeepers Jens Lehmann (Arsenal, England), Oliver Kahn (Bayern Munich) Timo Hildebrand (VfB Stuttgart).
Defenders Arne Friedrich (Hertha Berlin), Robert Huth (Chelsea, England), Marcell Jansen (Borussia Monchengladbach), Per Mertesacker (Hannover), Christoph Metzelder (Borussia Dortmund), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich), Jens Nowotny (Bayer Leverkusen).

Sebastian Kehl will end his career with Borussia Dortmund after signing a one-year contract extension with Jurgen Klopp's men.
The 34-year-old's new deal will see him through until the summer of 2015 at which point he has announced he will retire after 14 years at the Westfalenstadion.
"Borussia Dortmund, our wonderful team, the fans and the city of Dortmund has been my home for many years. That's why I've decided to continue this connection," he told bvb.de.
"I look forward to my last year in the Bundesliga. The right time is then for me to begin a new life."
The captain joined Dortmund in 2001 from Freiburg and was a member of the Bundesliga-winning teams of 2002, 2011 and 2012.
"Sebastian is an important key player, has a huge wealth of experience and on top of that is a valuable role model," said sporting director Michael Zorc.
"We are very happy that he is with us until 2015 and wants to end his impressive career in the BVB shirt."
Kehl has also won 31 caps for Germany and was in the squad for the World Cups in 2002 and 2006.

The German football player Sebastian Walter Kehl is a defensive midfielder who plays for Borussia Dortmund. Since 2008 he has worn captainâs armband of the Black Yellows. Sebastian was born in a German city Fulda, the state of Hesse.
Kehl began climbing the football Olympus, entering the Lahrbach (Tann) youth system. At the age of 14 the future footballer became a trainee of Borussia Fulda academy, from where he moved to his first professional club Hannover 96 when 18 years old. Sebastian played 32 games and scored two goals for the Reds and then in 2000 transferred to SCÂ Freiburg.
The midfielder joined Borussia Dortmund in the middle of the 2001/02 season, at the same time rejecting an offer from Bayern Munich. He missed the first half of the 2006/07season due to a knee surgery in the summer of 2006, appearing on the pitch only on the 4 February 2007.
Kehl has played 213 matches and netted 19 goals for the club until now. As a Borussia player, Sebastian has won the Bundesliga three times, and at the end of the 2011/12 he won his first DFB Cup. (The footballer spent all 90 minutes on the pitch and Borussia won Bayern 5-2).
Sebastian played his first match for the national team against Slovakia on 29 May 2001. The game took place in Bremen and Kehl substituted Marko Rehmer during the halftime helping his team to win 2-0. Being part of the Bundesteam, he participated in two World Cups: in 2002 his team finished as the runner-up and in 2006 they won the bronze medal.
In 2004 Kehl took part in the UEFA European Football Championship that was held in Portugal, but the Germans didnât manage to get into the play-offs.
The footballer became famous on the Internet due to a hyper-ludicrous incident that took place on 29 January 2005. Borussia Dortmund was playing a home match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, when in the middle of the game the opposing midfielder Peer Kluge, challenging for the ball with Sebastian Kehl, grabbed his shorts and pulled them accidentally to reveal Sebastianâs genitals.

Three-time German title winner, DFB Cup winner and World Cup runner-up – Sebastian Kehl certainly had a playing career that most footballers can only dream of. Beyond his exploits on the pitch, the Hesse-native has dedicated himself to the fight against racism and the promotion of civic courage.
Since 2003, he has supported the social initiative “Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage” (Schools without racism – schools with courage), a project which empowers children to live together in harmony. Sebastian Kehl is the patron of the Alexander-von-Humboldt School in Lauterbach and the Richard Müller School in Fulda, both of which are involved in the project.
Kehl: “Receiving this accolade is a great honour for me”
Kehl, alongside former Eintracht Frankfurt and Germany player Steffi Jones, is also a patron of “Fair Play Hesse”, a social foundation set up by the Hesse Football Association in partnership with the Hesse Ministry of the Interior and Sport. “Fair Play Hesse”, supports schemes and initiatives that promote integration, tolerance and fair play.
“Hesse has produced many outstanding footballers, and one of the very finest of them is, without doubt, Sebastian Kehl. Although he achieved such incredible things in his career, he never forgot to play a part in the life of his local federal state. Sebastian Kehl has done extraordinary work to support the values of diversity, tolerance and fair play, and in doing so, he has helped create harmony and cohesion in our society. For this, I am delighted to present him with the Hessian Order of Merit ,” said Bouffier as he handed Kehl the award. “I am very pleased to receive this accolade from state premier Bouffier. It’s a great honour for me,” said Kehl.

TweetSoccerBible caught up with Sebastian Kehl, captain of Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund. The midfield player has been with the club for over 10 years, and in that time has enjoyed winning the Bundesliga title on no less than three occasions. At the recent PUMA launch of the new BVB kit, we got the chance to sit down with Kehl...As well as getting Sebastian's opinion on the new kit, we wanted to look ahead to the new season, hear who Sebastian thinks is the best midfielder in the game, and what Manchester United fans can expect from new signing Kagawa.This is a first season for Dortmund with PUMA, what do you think of the
kit?
Sebastian Kehl: I really like the new kit. It has a nice and classic design and the fit
feels comfortable. In general I am looking forward to the new partnership
with PUMA, because it is a great step forward for the club to have signed
this deal.
Is the look, fit and feel important to the players on the pitch?
SK:To the players, the kit is very important. Also because the technical
partner does not only provide the kit, they also produce the whole training
wear. So we wear it on a day-to-day basis and it is very important to feel
comfortable and to have enough freedom of movement.
Is it important to connect the players with the fans through the shirt?SK: Absolutely. The kit presents the whole personality of the club. The shirt
is very important to the fans and a nice design definitely helps to build a
connection to them.How did you feel the first time you saw someone wearing a shirt with your
name on the back?
SK: That is probably quite a while ago now, and I don t remember a specific
situation, but I am sure it was a great moment and it still makes me proud
every time I happen to see it.
Who is your favourite midfielder in world football?
SK: There are so many great footballers out there. I really like to watch the
Champions League and in those matches we normally get to see the best of
the best. Players like Messi, Iniesta or Ronaldo; but there are many great
players that I like to watch playing.
Who was your sporting idol growing up?
SK: It was always Lothar MatthÄus, because he really impressed me during the
world cup in 1990, which was the first tournament that I really followed.Which player do you enjoy having midfield battles against in the
Bundesliga?SK: There is no-one in particular. I have many good friends in the Bundesliga
and we often get to play against each other, but in a match situation
everybody wants to play well, so that is what counts. But in general I
neither have a favourite opponent nor do I have someone that I would like
to avoid in particular. As I am rather tall I prefer to not play against
small and agile midfielders.Are you confident or defending your Bundesliga title?
SK: Of course we have great ambitions for the upcoming season, but looking at
the fact that we have broke quite a few records during the last two years,
I would be arrogant to expect it to continue just like that. In all three
competitions we will do our best to achieve as much as possible.
Who would you say is the best player in the Dortmund squad?
SK: The team.
Who's got the best tricks in training?
SK: Obviously many players try tricks in training, which they wouldn t dare to
do in a match situation. Especially Mario GÖtze or Moritz Leitner often
like to try a few new tricks.
Which player at the club is the comedian who plays practical jokes?
SK: The whole team is a great mix of different characters. Though the younger
players are sometimes more open and easy-going than the more experienced
players in the team. But there are always jokes in the changing rooms, even
from players of which you wouldn t necessarily expect it.What can Manchester United fans expect from signing Kagawa?
SK: They really can be looking forward. He is a great player that was important
for us and played a really good season. I believe that through his way to
play football he has good chances to build his profile in England very
quickly. We will miss him.Is the Signal Iduna Park the greatest football stadium you've played in, as
the south stand, die SÜdtribÜne is certainly impressive?
SK: The SÜdtribÜne and also the stadium itself are incredible. It cannot be
compared to all the newer stadiums and with an audience of 83.000 people it
is just one of the kind. And we have best fans in Germany. I am already
looking forward to the new season.
What's the favourite goal you've scored?
SK: As I am not a real striker, there are more other moments that were
important for my career. Of course I remember a few nice ones, but I don t
have a favourite goal.Do you have ambitions left to fulfil in your career?SK: Most importantly I hope to stay fit and healthy. Being a professional
footballer is probably one of the best jobs in the world and as long as I
stay fit, I enjoy it a lot to play for a great club with amazing fans that
still give me goosebumps whenever I walk out onto the pitch.Would you consider a move to the MLS?SK: The idea to move to America became more and more popular and it also sounds
attractive to me. Many German players made that move and who knows, maybe
an opportunity pops up for me as well. SoccerBible was speaking to Sebastian Kehl at the launch event for the new BVB 2012/13 football kits, and don't forget to leave your opinions on Sebastian, Dortmund and PUMA online, on Twitter and on Facebook.

Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund and Sebastian Kehl, 40, will continue their sporting cooperation going forward.

“We’re very satisfied with Sebastian and will now be involving him even more closely in all sporting decision-making processes,” said chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke. Meanwhile, BVB sporting director Michael Zorc emphasised that “we’ve worked together in a spirit of trust from day one. We value his work. For me, the contract extension is therefore a logical step.”
Sebastian Kehl has long been an iconic figure in Dortmund. He became champion with BVB in 2002, 2011 and 2012, and also won the DFB Cup in 2012. After hanging up his boots in the summer of 2015, the long-time team captain completed a management degree with UEFA and acquired his A Licence as a coach. Since the start of the 2018/2019 season, he has been the head of the licensed player division at Borussia Dortmund.
“I would like to say thank you for the trust that the club has shown in me,” said Kehl. “This is an important, positive signal for me. I am glad that our joint strategic and sporting path up until 2022 is now ‘set’. Despite the difficult conditions in the midst of the pandemic, I still enjoy working every day to make Borussia Dortmund a success.”

BERLIN (AP) - Germany's Torsten Frings was banned from the World Cup semifinals after a disciplinary committee found he punched Argentina forward Julio Cruz in a post-match fracas in the quarterfinals.
FIFA's disciplinary committee announced the ban Monday, the eve of Germany's semifinal match against Italy at Dortmund.
"We are disappointed," Germany team manager Oliver Bierhoff said. "Our opinion was that we laid down the reasons for an acquittal."
The 29-year-old midfielder was banned for two matches - with one suspended for six months - and fined $4,075.
That means Frings can return for either the World Cup final or the third-place playoff, but has a six-month probation period. If he commits any other kind of misconduct, he would have to serve the balance of punishment.
Despite handing down a partially suspended ban because it found that Frings had been provoked, the disciplinary committee condemned his reaction as "tantamount to an assault."
"The judgment pronounced on Frings was the result of the unequivocal television images showing his assault on Cruz. Neither the (German federation) nor the player could refute the objective evidence at hand," the committee said in a statement.
But Bierhoff said Frings had been reacting to provocation. The referee, Lubos Michel, and his assistants were directly next to Frings and had not taken action against the German midfielder.
"All we can do now is accept the decision. We will now concentrate on the Italy game and we are optimistic that Frings will return for the final," Bierhoff said.
Frings' absence is a major setback for Germany. The midfielder has been one of Germany's best players, creating attacking opportunities and carrying out a lot of the defensive work in tandem with captain Michael Ballack. Frings is likely to be replaced by Sebastian Kehl, a rugged Borussia Dortmund midfielder with similar qualities.
Argentina players Maxi Rodriguez and Leandro Cufre were cited after last Friday's match at Berlin and initially all the German players were cleared, but FIFA started an investigation into Frings' involvement after images of the skirmish were broadcast on TV in Germany and Italy.
German media reported Monday that the Italian soccer federation gave FIFA the TV footage that sparked the investigation, hoping to have the hardworking midfielder suspended for the semifinal. FIFA and the Italian federation denied the reports.
"Let me make it clear, there was no attempt whatever from the Italian federation to incite FIFA into doing something," FIFA communications director Markus Siegler said. "The footage was not presented to us from Italian TV stations, it was shown in Germany."
The Italian soccer federation said it contacted its counterpart in Germany to deny the news reports.
"We have done nothing, there has been no initiatives on our behalf against Germany," Italian federation chief Antonello Valentini told Sky Italia TV on Monday. "There is no effort on our behalf to create hostility, friction or to denounce anybody; We'll try to win the match on the field. We have no interest that Frings be punished if FIFA doesn't believe he should be."
Frings was contacted late Sunday and asked to submit his account of the incident to FIFA's disciplinary committee by Monday morning. It took the committee more than four hours to find him guilty of violent conduct. Footage from the 24 TV cameras at Berlin's Olympic Stadium had to be reviewed because Frings' involvement did not appear on the official match broadcast, Siegler said.
The disciplinary panel made the quick decision on Frings, hoping to reduce the impact on Germany's preparations for the semifinals. Cufre and Rodriguez have until Wednesday to present their cases. The disciplinary committee has not given a timeframe for when, if any, punishments are applied.
England's Wayne Rooney, who was sent off for violent conduct in the quarterfinal loss to Portugal, has until Thursday to make a statement to the committee regarding his red card.

#WorldCupAtHome relives a 2006 thriller between Germany and Italy
An engrossing semi-final was decided late in extra time
Grosso the hero for Italy as hosts crashed out
The hosts of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ were living a dream, having advanced to the semi-finals in impressive fashion, their hopes of a fourth world title growing by the day. Waiting for them in the last four was an Italy side that had been in less commanding form but looked solid nonetheless. Relying on their rock-like defence once more, the Italians would blunt the threat posed by Jurgen Klinsmann’s vibrant, attack-minded side before striking late on to win an absorbing encounter.
The summary
[[flag-ger-s]] Germany 0-2 Italy [[flag-ita-s]] AET
4 July 2006 | Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
Goalscorers: Italy: Fabio Grosso (119’), Alessandro Del Piero (120’+1)
Line-ups:Germany: Jens Lehmann, Arne Friedrich, Per Mertesacker, Christoph Metzelder, Philipp Lahm, Sebastian Kehl, Michael Ballack (c), Tim Borowski (Bastian Schweinsteiger, 73’), Bernd Schneider (David Odonkor, 83’), Miroslav Klose (Oliver Neuville, 111’), Lukas Podolski
Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Fabio Grosso, Fabio Cannavaro (c), Marco Materazzi, Gianluca Zambrotta, Gennaro Gattuso, Simone Perrotta (Alessandro Del Piero, 104), Andrea Pirlo, Mauro Camoranesi (Vincenzo Iaquinta, 91’), Francesco Totti, Luca Toni (Alberto Gilardino, 74’)
The stakes
Three-time World Cup champions Germany had gone 16 years without lifting the Trophy, while Italy’s wait for a fourth title stretched back 24 years to Spain 1982. Only Brazil, with five titles to their name, have enjoyed more success in the competition than these two European rivals.
LaNazionale had history on their side, having gone unbeaten in their four previous World Cup meetings with Die Mannschaft, which included an epic semi-final at Mexico 1970 and the 1982 Final. The tournament hosts nevertheless had the advantage of playing at their Dortmund fortress, where their record was: played 14, won 14. Urged on by a capacity crowd of 65,000, the Germans were full of confidence, having beaten Argentina on penalties in the quarter-finals and played some progressive, attacking football en route to the last four. For their part, Italy had eased into the semis courtesy of a 3-0 win over Ukraine.
The match
A notable absentee: While Ballack, Klose and Podolski were the figureheads of an ultra-attacking German line-up, Torsten Frings was the man who set the tempo in midfield, working tirelessly to shield the defence and build play from the back. His suspension left Klinsmann with no option but to change his system and draft Borowski and Kehl into his starting XI. Frings’ absence may or may not have been a contributing factor in Germany’s defeat, but the fact remains that without him they lacked their usual verve up front and enjoyed only 43 per cent possession to Italy’s 57 per cent.
Defences hold firm: With 118 minutes on the clock and little to choose between the sides, penalties looked inevitable. The Germans had shown they knew how to defend, an area in which the Italians confirmed their expertise, thanks in the main to the commanding Cannavaro and the dependable Materazzi, who was proving a more-than-able deputy for the injured Alessandro Nesta. Meanwhile, Klose and Toni were virtually anonymous in attack. Schneider, Borowski and Ballack all missed chances for Germany, as did Perrotta and Grosso for Italy. Buffon denied Podolski on two occasions, while Gilardino hit the post after a fine run. There seemed no way the deadlock would be broken.
Italy find the key: With a minute of extra time remaining, an Italy corner was half-cleared to Pirlo on the edge of the box. After considering his options, the gifted playmaker slipped the ball into space behind three unsuspecting defenders. Though no one in the crowd or among the millions watching was on the same wavelength as Pirlo, team-mate Grosso was. Running on to ball, he curled a left-footed shot past Lehmann and into the far corner. No sooner did the Germans kick-off again than Cannavaro regained possession and played it to Iaquinta. His through-ball found Gilardino, who took the ball into the box before playing the perfect reverse pass in Del Piero's path. Expertly guiding the ball into the other corner of the net, the Italy forward killed off any lingering German hopes.
The star
After putting paid to Germany’s dreams, Grosso was Italy’s hero again in the Final a few days later, scoring the penalty that gave them victory over France. Following the full-back’s exploits against the hosts and the decisive late spot-kick he had won in the last-16 victory over Australia, coach Marcello Lippi knew who he wanted his fifth penalty taker to be. "You’re the last-minute man," Lippi told him. Moments later, Grosso secured World Cup number four for Italy.
️What they said
"When I saw Andrea with the ball at his feet, I knew there was a good chance it would come to me. There are times when he’s not even looking at you but just knows when to make the pass. I had a feeling it was going to happen and happen it did." Italy defender Fabio Grosso
“It was an amazing match and a tough one too. We came up against a very strong team that could easily have taken the lead. We had more desire than them though, a greater will to win." Italy forward Alessandro Del Piero
“It was a dream come true for us. We dominated the game and were the better side. The players excelled themselves and didn’t put a foot wrong. They really did what I wanted them to do and they did it with a lot of energy too. I’m so proud of this team." Italy coach Marcello Lippi
“It was such a tight game and both sides had their chances in normal time. Fair play to the Italians, though. They scored two great goals at the end to beat us. We’re very disappointed but we can be proud of our team. We’ve got a lot of very young players." Germany forward Miroslav Klose
"To lose like that at the end of extra time is very hard to swallow. We came up against a good side. There weren’t that many chances for either team and there wasn’t much between us." Germany defender Philipp Lahm
What happened next
Italy went on to meet France in the Final in Berlin. Following another suspenseful two hours of football, during which Zinedine Zidane produced his customary brilliance and one moment of madness, Gli Azzurri claimed their fourth world title, thanks in no small part to assured performances from Buffon, Cannavaro and Materazzi. In the meantime, the Germans dried their tears and beat Portugal to third place. Their time would come, though. Eight years later in Brazil, the likes of Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Klose and Podolski finally got their hands on football’s most coveted prize.

Robert Lewandowski never had to deal with the level of expectation that Erling Braut Haaland does at Borussia Dortmund, says Sebastian Kehl.

There are higher expectations on Erling Braut Haaland at Borussia Dortmund than there were for Robert Lewandowski when he joined the club, says ex-BVB captain Sebastian Kehl.
Haaland made an electric start to his Dortmund career after signing from Salzburg in January, scoring 16 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions for the club in 2019-20.
The 20-year-old striker hit a double in their season-opening game against Borussia Mönchengladbach but struggled in the 2-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday, managing just one shot on target and 19 touches across the entire game.
It was a significant dip for Haaland, who has been touted to follow in the footsteps of Lewandowski, who spent four seasons at Signal Iduna Park between 2010 and 2014.
Haaland "already arrived in Dortmund at a very high level"
"Lewy came to us as a great talent at the time. Haaland, on the other hand, already arrived in Dortmund at a very high level - and with a very different reputation than Lewandowski did at the time," Kehl, who played alongside Lewandowski for Dortmund and now heads up the club's licensed player division, told Kicker.
"We had been waiting for a player like him [Haaland]. The hopes placed in him were accordingly immediately high."
Lewandowski endured difficult start at Borussia Dortmund
While Haaland settled straight in, Lewandowski had to fight Lucas Barrios for a place in the first team after arriving from Lech Poznan.
However, he has since developed into one of the leading strikers in the world, scoring 55 goals as Bayern Munich claimed a Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble last season.
"For Lewandowski, the 2010-11 season was not easy. He and Barrios didn't always get along well. Lewy had to fight for his place and prevail," said Kehl. "Lewy is so consistent, so complete, almost never injured - for me he is one of the best in the world. A great player."

Central defender Christoph Metzelder and left-back Philipp Lahm are the only two players still nursing serious injuries.
Metzelder, who has a calf muscle injury, took part in light training on Monday morning but will not be able to take full part until Wednesday at the earliest.
"It's going very well," Metzelder told reporters after Germany's training session at the Stade de Geneve. "I'm pretty sure I'll be able to train on Wednesday."

Today’s game was part of the reason that I decided to write this series. This match, Germany v Italy, the 2006 World Cup semi-final, may just be my favourite ever World Cup game. One of the world’s most iconic stadiums, some outstanding players and, above all else, some incredible drama. Late drama. The latest drama. World record breaking drama, even. The most gruelling heavyweight battle since George Foreman fought Muhammad Ali in The Rumble in the Jungle. Germany had outdone themselves, beating the pre-tournament odds by playing electrifying football. Italy had a different style, they had systematically dismantled team after team, finding their weakness and exploiting it. This game may not have been a goal fest, but that didn’t stop it being an end-to-end thriller. Due to this being my favourite ever World Cup game, please enjoy an extra long account of an extra special game.
Francesco Totti had the first chance of the game. He struck a free kick from 30 yards out. It beat the wall and was on target, but Jens Lehmann held on to the shot comfortably. Italy had another chance soon after. Fabio Grosso picked up the ball on the left flank, dribbling over the halfway line, eventually floating a pass over the defence to Simone Perrotta. Perrotta’s touch was heavy and saw the ball roll into the body of Lehmann. Perrotta fought for the ball, watching it bounce into the air, but Lehmann collected it before the danger could grow.
Germany were getting forward, but it was the Italians who were creating the most clear-cut chances of the evening. Andrea Pirlo whipped in a free kick from the wide right. Luca Toni and Christoph Metzelder both contested the ball, with both missing it completely. The ball continued its path through to Marco Materazzi. Materazzi got his head on the ball, but could only head it onto the floor, watching it bounce up and over the bar.
Italy had another chance soon after. Fabio Grosso burst from his position, putting the ball between the legs of Philipp Lahm and carrying on and into the box. He fizzed his cross low into the feet of Luca Toni, the big Fiorentina forward hitting the ball first time. Luckily for Germany, Metzelder timed his tackle to perfection, blocking Toni’s shot and sending the ball out for a corner.
Germany’s first real chance of the half came off the back of an Andrea Pirlo mistake (honestly, this is not a typo!)This miss-pass allowed Miroslav Klose to take up possession of the ball. Klose laid the ball up to Lukas Podolski, who passed back to Klose. Klose drove at the Italian defence, drawing Materazzi in, then passing outside him to Bernd Schneider. Schneider fired just over the bar. Gianluigi Buffon may not have been tested, but it was a stark reminder to Marcello Lippi’s side that their opposition mustn’t be underestimated.
Germany started the second half with more vigour than their first half. Sebastian Kehl capitalised on a string of lax Italian defensive clearances early into the half. A little later on and Klose had embarked on a long, leisurely run into the Italian penalty area. The Italian centre halves must have been anticipating the pass the entire way, with Tim Borowski and Bernd Schneider both free on either flank. Klose ignored both options, instead darting into the penalty box. He was brought down by a combination of Buffon and Gennaro Gattuso. There were claims for a penalty, these claims fell on deaf ears.
Andrea Pirlo created the next glaring chance of the game. Unshaken by his prior poor pass, he threaded a glorious ball between the defence to the overlapping Fabio Grosso. Grosso benefited with Michael Ballack stumbling upon chasing the Italian left back, and Grosso continued his run. He was reminiscent of a dear in the headlines, unfortunately, and couldn’t muster a shot. The Palermo defender could only watch as Lehmann rushed from his line to claim the ball for his own.
Germany kept on piling men forward, much to the appreciation of the thousands of fans packed inside the Dortmund stadium. Tim Borowski fired over the bar with a speculative shot from distance. It was bold, considering that Buffon hadn’t conceded a goal from an opposition player from open play all tournament.
Soon after the Borowski effort it was Podolski who tried his luck, from significantly closer than Borowski’s attempt. Bernd Schneider lifted his pass into the box, into the path of Podolski. Podolski turned the ageing Materazzi, pirouetting into space and unleashing a stinging shot at Buffon. The FC Koln forward could only watch in frustration as his effort stung the gloves of Gianluigi Buffon. The goalkeeper pushed the ball back into the box, with Arne Friedrich reaching the pass first. His shot was lazy and soared over the bar.
Pirlo and Ballack both had shots go close from outside of the box, but the last real chance of regulation time befell Simone Perrotta. Pirlo hit a high ball up to Alberto Gilardino. Gilardino headed the ball back to Francesco Totti, who chipped the ball over the defence and into the path of Perrotta. Lehmann bravely threw himself in front of the ball, punching it to safety and clotheslining the Italian in the process.
The referee blew for full time with the score sitting at 0-0, despite the best efforts of both sides. Extra time was to be played out. With both teams having played five games already in Germany, and with the winning participating in the final just five days later, the prospect of an extra half hour was a daunting prospect…
Italy created the first proper chance of extra time. Gilardino burned Metzelder for pace, rushing down to the goal line, before cutting inside the box with his sights set on scoring. The playboy-esque Milan forward made Michael Ballack’s defending look schoolboy-like, easing past him before taking the shot on. Gilardino’s shot beat Lehmann, but bounced off the post and away into no-man’s-land.
Italy kept the pressure on, this time with Gianluca Zambrotta coming close to grabbing his second goal in as many games. Germany couldn’t clear their lines properly from a corner, with Zambrotta pouncing on the loose ball. The ball swung and swerved in the air, sailing past Lehmann but only striking the crossbar.
Into the second period of extra time and again it was Italy who were creating the chances, their first coming almost straight from kick off, Pirlo again the creator. He dinked the ball towards the penalty area from distance, his pass being deflected by his own countryman deeper into the box. The deflection caught the defence out, and Alessandro Del Piero latched on to the pass. The ball wouldn’t land in the right spot for Del Piero to get his shot away, and soon Arne Friedrich had his body between the ball and the goal. Friedrich harried Del Piero away long enough to allow Lehmann to rush out and push the ball off the Juventus legends boots.
Germany responded by creating their own opportunity. Sebastian Kehl picked up the ball in acres of space, spraying a Pirlo-esque pass to Podolski on the edge of box. Podolski rattled his shot away, forcing Buffon to make a diving save, tipping the ball over the bar.
With just minutes to go, Andrea hit a rasping shot on target, which was saved by Jens Lehmann. Arsenal’s shot-stopper pushed the ball wide from a corner, and this proved to be the beginning of the end of Jurgen Klinsmann’s young side.
Alessandro Del Piero stood over the corner, whipping the ball into the packed penalty box. The ball was headed away with relative ease, but once again, the Italians reached the ball first. Pirlo picked the ball up, took a touch and calmly found his pass. He confidently passed the ball to Fabio Grosso, who pivoted and fired his shot first time into the back of the net. After 119 minutes of thrilling end to end football, Italy had broken the deadlock. It was the latest goal to ever be scored in a World Cup match. Not just had Grosso put his side into the final, but he had created a little bit of history in the process.
Germany were committing more and more men forward, desperately searching for an equaliser. Lukas Podolski took a heavy touch and Alessandro Del Piero capitalised, using his chest to dispossess the Polish-born German and start a devastating counter attack. Del Piero offloaded the ball to a teammate and continued his run up field. Alberto Gilardino received the pass, running at the defence and creating a gap for his teammate to fill. He dragged Christoph Metzelder into the centre, then reversed his pass left for Del Piero. Del Piero sprinted to the ball and turned his body, easing the ball beyond Lehmann and doubling Italy’s lead. Fabio Grosso had held the record for the latest ever World Cup goal for all of two minutes. On 121 minutes, Alessandro Del Piero had smashed that record!
Full time came and the hosts were eliminated. It’s never nice to lose a Semi Final, but to lose with practically the last kick of the game must have been devastating. To the neutral fans who watched this game, I believe the game will be remembered as something of a modern day classic. One of the best things about it was that the referee, Mexico’s Benito Archundia, was as much of a spectator as anybody else. By this, I mean that he wasn’t wrapped up in controversy, there were no dodgy penalty shouts, nor were there any fights. This game was a pure football spectacle. It was end to end. It was heart and soul. It was passion. It was a masterclass. Both sides had a claim to deserving the win, and to me, this is the way football should be. When you think World Cup classic, this game may not spring to the minds of many, but to me, this was my favourite World Cup game of all time. It has been an absolute honour getting to recount it for you, valued reader.
Tomorrow’s game: July 5th. Netherlands v Costa Rica. 2014.

Pascal Gross has signed for Borussia Dortmund from Brighton and Hove Albion.
The German midfielder joins Nuri Sahin's side for a fee in the region of £6 million, on a two-year deal until 2026.
The 33-year-old, who was part of Julian Nagelsmann's Euro 2024 squad, played just a single half of the hosts' campaign, where they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by Spain in extra time.

He featured 36 times in the Premier League under Roberto de Zerbi for Brighton last term, scoring four times and assisting three goals.
Gross joined the Seagulls in 2017 from Ingolstadt, for a reported £3m, and went on to make 261 appearances for the East Sussex club, scoring 32 goals and registering 52 assists.
He was also twice voted as the fans' player of the season - in the 2017-18 and 2023-24 campaigns respectively.
He showed great versatility in his time at the Amex, playing in different roles in central midfield, out wide, and at full-back.
Borussia Dortmund's managing director Lars Ricken told the club website: "Pascal has developed into an absolute top performer in recent years. He will make us more stable and flexible, help us with his experience and have a very positive influence as a leader. We are very pleased that he has been a BVB fan for many years and has clearly committed to our club at an early stage."
BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl said: "We are very happy that we can bring Pascal back to the Bundesliga. With his calmness on the ball, his outstanding passing and positioning, and his versatility, he gives our team new facets. But Pascal is also a sly fox and radiates direct and indirect goal threats in many areas. We are convinced that he will enrich our game and strengthen us with his will to win and his personality."
Gross added: "I'm really looking forward to BVB.
"For me, this move is simply a huge thing, because I've been a Dortmund fan since I was a little boy. I will try to repay the club's trust with my style and I can't wait to play in front of the BVB fans at the Signal Iduna Park with my new teammates and to work together with everyone to ensure that we achieve our big goals."
He becomes the first arrival of Sahin's reign after the former Dortmund and Real Madrid midfielder took over from the departed Edin Terzic.

World Cup runner-up, Champions League finalist, German Champion, DFB Cup winner, derby hero – it’s a long list of accolades and equally as long as his chronic injury record. Sebastian Kehl has often been written off during his career; however, each time he has come back fighting and managers and teammates can always depend on him.
He is now set to sign off on Saturday (20:00 CEST) in Berlin. He announced the decision to end his career following the 2014/15 season almost a year ago. His last match sees BVB face VfL Wolfsburg in the DFB Cup final at the Olympiastadion.
Kehl’s son is his toughest critic
His career has been full of some unforgettable memories and he’s shared many a special moment with his family out on the pitch. Back in 2012, his son Luis, his toughest critic, who said his father didn’t score often enough, showed him how it’s done when he coolly slotted the ball into the back of the net in front of 80,520 fans. Nevertheless, Sebastian Kehl had just been crowned German Champion for the third time with Borussia Dortmund.
Long injury list
Why was this scene, long after the final whistle of the decisive battle between the two Borussias, not only so beautiful but also important? It was special because it drew attention to one of many people who have supported Sebastian Kehl unconditionally through the good times as well as the bad. "It was also a fantastic moment for my family," remarked Dortmund‘s number 5.
Tina, his wife, daughter Leni and Luis don’t just know Sebastian Kehl as a winner, a football star, a derby hero. They’ve lived every moment and been there through all the injuries and set-backs. A nasty muscle injury sidelined him for the entire season before that triumph and meant that he missed out on the first Championship, and Bundesliga trophy presentation, of the Jürgen Klopp era, which is also set to end in Berlin.
Farewell in final in Berlin: "perfectly written script"
This moment marks an important turning point in Kehl’s career. Since then the 35-year-old has gone on to record a number of successes in numerous competitions. BVB completed the first double in the club’s history two weeks after securing the Bundesliga title, beating FC Bayern München 5-2 in the DFB Cup final.
Speaking about the fact that the last game of his career is the final in Berlin, he remarked that "it’s fantastic, the script is almost perfectly written." He hasn’t scored often during the course of his career but he’s found the back of the net when it truly mattered this season and his contributions have been crucial in BVB’s cup journey. Kehl grabbed the late winner in the quarter-final against 1899 Hoffenheim and stepped up to convert a penalty in the semi-final shootout against FC Bayern München. "I could once again play a decisive role," remarked Kehl. "I could hardly imagine a better ending."
Tearful goodbye
Following the 3-2 victory over Werder Bremen, which secured the club a spot in the Europa League, Kehl’s farewell at Signal-Iduna-Park was fitting and many had tears in their eyes. "The send-off from the fans today was incredible," commented Kehl to DFB.de. He saw it as recognition for "a special career" – one which still isn’t completely over.
Now it’s time for one last hurrah in Berlin on Saturday. "Winning the DFB Cup would obviously be the icing on the cake of my final season," said Kehl.
So what’s he planning to do next?
What is certain is that Kehl’s last official journey with the club won’t be his last ever trip. "I’d like to travel and learn about life in other corners of the world. America, Africa, Asia – I’d like to visit all of these." Before then he’ll travel to Berlin for what could be a perfect ending. One way or another, Luis should be very proud of his father.
Kehl featured in his first ever DFB Cup game for Hannover 96 against Tennis Borussia Berlin back in 1998. Wolfsburg’s current manager Dieter Hecking was on his side that day. He led his side to glory in the DFB Cup almost 14 years later, triumphing over FC Bayern in the final.

Why was this scene, long after the final whistle of the decisive battle between the two Borussias, not only so beautiful but also important? It was special because it drew attention to one of many people who have supported Sebastian Kehl unconditionally through the good times as well as the bad. "It was also a fantastic moment for my family," remarked Dortmund‘s number 5.
Tina, his wife, daughter Leni and Luis don’t just know Sebastian Kehl as a winner, a football star, a derby hero. They’ve lived every moment and been there through all the injuries and set-backs. A nasty muscle injury sidelined him for the entire season before that triumph and meant that he missed out on the first Championship, and Bundesliga trophy presentation, of the Jürgen Klopp era, which is also set to end in Berlin.
Farewell in final in Berlin: "perfectly written script"
This moment marks an important turning point in Kehl’s career. Since then the 35-year-old has gone on to record a number of successes in numerous competitions. BVB completed the first double in the club’s history two weeks after securing the Bundesliga title, beating FC Bayern München 5-2 in the DFB Cup final.
Speaking about the fact that the last game of his career is the final in Berlin, he remarked that "it’s fantastic, the script is almost perfectly written." He hasn’t scored often during the course of his career but he’s found the back of the net when it truly mattered this season and his contributions have been crucial in BVB’s cup journey. Kehl grabbed the late winner in the quarter-final against 1899 Hoffenheim and stepped up to convert a penalty in the semi-final shootout against FC Bayern München. "I could once again play a decisive role," remarked Kehl. "I could hardly imagine a better ending."
Tearful goodbye
Following the 3-2 victory over Werder Bremen, which secured the club a spot in the Europa League, Kehl’s farewell at Signal-Iduna-Park was fitting and many had tears in their eyes. "The send-off from the fans today was incredible," commented Kehl to DFB.de. He saw it as recognition for "a special career" – one which still isn’t completely over.
Now it’s time for one last hurrah in Berlin on Saturday. "Winning the DFB Cup would obviously be the icing on the cake of my final season," said Kehl.
So what’s he planning to do next?
What is certain is that Kehl’s last official journey with the club won’t be his last ever trip. "I’d like to travel and learn about life in other corners of the world. America, Africa, Asia – I’d like to visit all of these." Before then he’ll travel to Berlin for what could be a perfect ending. One way or another, Luis should be very proud of his father.
Kehl featured in his first ever DFB Cup game for Hannover 96 against Tennis Borussia Berlin back in 1998. Wolfsburg’s current manager Dieter Hecking was on his side that day. He led his side to glory in the DFB Cup almost 14 years later, triumphing over FC Bayern in the final.

<p>Germany 0 - 2 Italy A stonking semi-final was settled by an Italian job with two goals in the final two minutes of extra-time to break German hearts.</p>

There may have been as much desperation as inspiration in Italy's deserved win in the World Cup semi-final. With the match goalless in the last minute of extra-time they faced the terrible prospect of a penalty shoot-out with Germany, for whom such occasions guarantee glory. Marcello Lippi's team averted that with a breakthrough that encapsulated the slight yet clear superiority they had enjoyed.
Jens Lehmann reached Andrea Pirlo's drive but from the corner the playmaker slipped a pass to Fabio Grosso and the full-back curled home a beautiful shot from the right with his left foot. In the seconds that were left Alessandro del Piero broke away to gather a pass from a fellow substitute, Alberto Gilardino, and add a second.
Italy will now meet France or Portugal in Sunday's final in Berlin. They must do so with faith in themselves. Germany were tenacious and another side might have buckled in the face of that intensity. As it was, Italy needed luck after 81 minutes when the referee awarded a free-kick some 20 yards out for an offence that Fabio Cannavaro had committed on Lukas Podolski inside the area.
Even so, Lippi's team had shown that the host nation's footballers had been functioning gloriously beyond their true level. Determination alone could not make the Germany players the equal of stars that Italy and others brought to the World Cup. It took a mixture of camaraderie, organisation and the urgings of home crowds to get them this far.
While Germany have now lost an international in Dortmund for the first time, Jürgen Klinsmann's squad was still formidable in its desire and obstinacy.
There was a justice in Pirlo's key part in the victory, for he epitomised a gift for the sophisticated pass that is missing from Germany's repertoire. With the ever-competitive Gennaro Gattuso beside him, there was a nucleus that Klinsmann's line-up could not counter. Italy were confident, indifferent to the antagonism in the stands. Their 4-2-3-1 was particularly effective at releasing attackers on the flanks.
As early as the 11th minute there was an ominous slickness as Grosso went clear and Philipp Lahm had to get in front of Mauro Camoranesi to cover. There was space to be found behind the Germany back four and when Francesco Totti flighted a through ball five minutes later it was only an unsatisfactory touch by Simone Perrotta that let Lehmann block.
Germany were more mechanical, with a bit of dash sacrificed through Klinsmann's decision that the deteriorating form of Bastian Schweinsteiger meant the left winger would not start. His replacement, the powerful Tim Borowski, hit a searching diagonal pass or two but could not carry the game to Italy.
If Germany had prevailed it would have been by exploiting the openings that came their way at irregular intervals. In the 105th and 112th minutes Lukas Podolski miscued a David Odonkor cross and then stretched Gianluigi Buffon to the limit. In the face of such incidents, though, Italy showed a strength of will.
Extra-time had opened with Gilardino winding his way through before hitting a post and a couple of minutes later Gianluca Zambrotta clipped the top of the crossbar with a shot. Italy have been a disappointment in recent tournaments but there is now purpose and, so long as Pirlo is at work, order to their play.
It took all of that to earn this win. The German people, in the alchemy of a World Cup, had discovered scepticism being transmuted into faith. Before kick-off few would have disagreed that their side would have reached the final and revel in victory. Italy were in a situation that would have disheartened most others.
It needed two hours to part them from their faith that a way could be found to drag victory from this game. Germany kept an eye open for any counter-attacks; tempo and boldness were raised following the interval. Sebastian Kehl put one fine ball through for Miroslav Klose to go haring into the middle but Buffon saved.
While Buffon is a contender for the title of goalkeeper of the tournament that had been the first noteworthy intervention by him. Germany had succeeded primarily in being abrasive and they accepted the price of that, with Borowski and Christoph Metzelder booked for tackles from behind before an hour had gone by.
This, of course, was a cup-tie and it was not obliged to be any more genteel because it took place in the greatest tournament of all. While Germany were not as polished, their passing had purpose. When Arne Friedrich slipped the ball in from the right in the 63rd minute, Podolski turned and shot but it was impossible to beat Buffon from so tight an angle. Where Argentina failed, however, a composed and strong-minded Italy succeeded in closing off all avenues to Germany.

April 30
-- German government delays decision on Bundesliga resumption
The Bundesliga will have to wait another week to find out when it can resume its season behind closed doors after Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country’s 16 state premiers delayed a decision on the matter.
The German Football League (DFL) had been hoping for the government to give the green light and end a two-month suspension but Chancellor Merkel told a Thursday press conference that any decision on when sports activities could resume would be taken on May 6.
Football has been suspended in Germany since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
-- French season canceled, PSG declared champions
France’s Ligue de Football Professionel declared the Ligue 1 and 2 seasons over on Thursday, days after the government said major sporting events would be banned until September.
Paris Saint-Germain, who were 12 points ahead of Marseille when season was suspended in mid-March due to the Covid-19 outbreak, have been declared Ligue 1 champions.
PSG boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi said his club was dedicating its ninth league win to "all the healthcare workers and other everyday heroes who have earned all our admiration with their commitment and self-sacrifice for long weeks."
-- DFB calls meeting to discuss women's football and lower leagues
The DFB will use a conference between 262 delegates on May 25 to discuss how to proceed with German football’s third division, junior leagues, and the Women’s Bundesliga.
The agenda includes "consultations and resolutions regarding the implementation, continuation and possible termination" of DFB-associated competitions.
The DFB presides over men’s football from the third division down, while the DFL takes care of matters regarding the country’s top two divisions.
Third division clubs are so far divided over whether or not to finish the current season, but the general consensus among Women’s Bundesliga clubs is to finish the campaign behind closed doors.
-- Lokomotive Leipzig claim new European attendance record
Fourth-tier club Lok Leipzig are claiming a new European record for the highest attendance at a football match.
Lok have sold over 150,000 tickets for an imaginary match against an "invisible opponent" on May 8 as part of a fundraising campaign. This 'beats' the previous record of 149,547 spectators who watched Scotland play England as Hampden Park in Glasgow in 1937.
Tickets are still available from the German club's official website for €1 a pop. The proceeds will help Lok Leipzig deal with losses from the coronavirus crisis.
April 29
-- Bundesliga restart decision not expected on Thursday
A video conference between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the country’s 16 state premiers is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, but a final decision on a potential Bundesliga restart is not expected to be made.
The sports ministers in Germany’s 16 federal states have recommended that professional football be allowed to resume behind closed doors in mid-to-late May, but they will likely have to wait until next week for the green light.
"We are not expecting a decision following the discussion with the chancellor and the state premiers tomorrow [Thursday]," a spokesperson for Anja Stahlmann, the sports minister in the city-state of Bremen who chairs the sports ministers’ conferences, told SID.
"We will probably only be able to consider the full effects of any relaxation [of the lockdown rules regarding sport] in the course of next week."
-- Virologist: team quarantine for positive Bundesliga coronavirus tests
Coronavirus infections resulting from Bundesliga games played behind closed doors should result in entire teams being quarantined, not just individual players, according to a German virologist.
"If there is a case after a Bundesliga game then both teams should have to go into quarantine," Professor Ulrike Protzer of the Technical University of Munich told news agency dpa.
According to the German Football League (DFL)’s concept for a Bundesliga restart, only the individual player who tests positive would be required to go into isolation, but Protzer, who advises the Bavarian state government, insists that there is "definitely a higher risk" with team sports than with individual activities. "There could be infections - we have to put up with that,” she said. "We will not be completely rid of the virus."
Nevertheless, she still considers a continuation of the Bundesliga season behind closed doors “quite doable."
"The clubs have extreme financial pressure and the risk of infection is very low," she said. "It will not hit any person who is now currently at risk of becoming more seriously ill."
April 28
-- French football, rugby seasons called off
The French government said the remainder of football and rugby seasons won't be completed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"The 2019-20 season of professional sport ... won't be able to resume," Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said. He said all events where more than 5,000 people gather, including sporting events, would be allowed until at least September.
Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, the top two divisions in French football, each had 10 matches remaining in their schedule. The Top 14 rugby league was at the semifinal stage.
-- UEFA sets May 25 for leagues to present restart plans
European leagues have until May 25 to present UEFA, Europe's football confederation, plans to restart their domestic competitions.
UEFA recently presented guidelines for domestic leagues to cancel its remaining schedule because of the coronavirus pandemic and still have teams remain eligible for it's two continental competitions, the Champions League and Europa League.
However, in a letter to the 55 football federations in UEFA, confederation president Aleksander Ceferin wrote that any league canceling its season would need to produce a list of teams that have qualified for European club competitions.
"National Associations and/or Leagues should be in a position to communicate to UEFA by 25 May 2020 the planned restart of their domestic competitions including the date of restart and the relevant competition format," Ceferin wrote.
"In the event that a domestic competition is to be prematurely terminated for legitimate reasons... UEFA would require the National Association to explain by 25 May 2020 the special circumstances justifying such premature termination and to select clubs for the UEFA club competitions 2020-21 on the basis of sporting merit in the 2019-20 domestic competitions."
UEFA has encouraged domestic leagues to finish their seasons to allow for qualification for European competition to be based on sporting merit.
-- May 9 return for Bundesliga 'unlikely' — report
German politicians said earlier this month that May 9 was a "definitely possible" date for the Bundesliga to return to action. That no longer appears to be the case, according to a report in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, a Munich-based newspaper.
Sports ministers from Germany's 16 states, who met on Monday to discuss the fate of German football, said that restarting the Bundesliga is a possibility. However, according to a statement by Bremen's Sports Minister Anja Stahmann, the ministers see the "middle or the end of May as realistic."
However, Stahmann said, the Bundesliga would need to "create, enforce and oversee the strictest hygienic conditions."
After postponing the season until at least April 30, the German Football League (DFL), the company that governs Germany's top two divisions, has remained coy over a possible return date. Last Thursday, DFL president Christian Seifert said it had submitted a proposal to the German government to resume the 2019-20 season.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is due to discuss the issue with Germany's state premiers on Friday.
-- Tokyo 2021 to be canceled if pandemic continues
Olympic organizing committee president Yoshiro Mori said that the already postponed Games in Tokyo would not be postponed a second time if the coronavirus pandemic doesn't improve by next year.
In an interview with Japan's Nikkan Sports newspaper, Mori was emphatic when asked if the Games could be postponed again until 2022.
"No. In that case, the Olympics will be scrapped," he said. But the former Japanese prime minister remained confident that the games can go ahead in 2021.
"We have delayed the Olympics until next summer after we will have won the battle," he was quoted as saying.
"The Olympics would be much more valuable than any Olympics in the past if we could go ahead with it after winning this battle. We have to believe this otherwise our hard work and efforts will not be rewarded."
The International Olympic Committee and the Japanese government announced in March that the Tokyo Olympics, originally scheduled to take place from July 24 to August 9, would be moved to July 2021 because of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.
April 27
-- Werder Bremen weighing up extreme measures
Bundesliga side Werder Bremen would consider playing home games outside their own stadium if the Bundesliga resumed with matches behind closed doors, according to chairman Klaus Filbry.
"If it turns out to be the case that we're not able to play in Bremen, then we will have to keep alternative locations in mind," Filbry told Radio Bremen. "I can't rule it out."
His comments came after Bremen's interior minister, Ulrich Maeurer, said he was opposed to having matches placed behind closed doors at Bremen's Weser Stadium. Werder currently find themselves in second from bottom in Germany's top flight.
-- FIFA considering allowing five substitutions
If and when the Bundesliga resumes, matches will not only have to be played behind doors but also in relatively quick succession in order to finish the season by the DFL's target date of June 30.
And so, in order to lessen the physical strain on the players, world governing body FIFA is reportedly considering increasing the number of substitutions per team from three to five. In knock-out ties which go to extra time, an additional sixth substitution would also be permitted, however teams would still be limited to three stoppages of play to make the changes.
The rule could remain in place until the end of 2021 as football continues to come to terms with the challenges of the coronavirus, but first it needs to be officially approved by the International Football Association Board.
-- Tennis' elite ready to share the wealth
Germany's No1 tennis pro Alexander Zverev has told kicker that the players at the top of the game are ready to band together in a bid to help those further down the rankings during the coronavirus pandemic.
"We've got a WhatApp group with, I think, the Top 50 players in the world in it," said the 23-year-old. "Together, we're currently trying to come up with ways to support players that need help. We're constantly pitching ideas in a bid to help those in a less fortunate financial position."
-- Formula 1 targets July starts after French Grand Prix cancelled
Shortly after organisers of the French Grand Prix announced that the race scheduled for June 27 would not go ahead, Formula 1 chief Chase Carey outlined his plans to get the Formula 1 season up and running.
"We're targeting a start to racing in Europe through July, August and beginning of September, with the first race taking place in Austria on 3-5 July weekend," he said in a statement released on Monday. "September, October and November, would see us race in Eurasia, Asia and the Americas, finishing the season in the Gulf in December with Bahrain before the traditional finale in Abu Dhabi, having completed between 15-18 races."
April 26
-- Everton striker Moise Kean in hot water
Premier League side Everton have strongly condemned the actions of striker Moise Kean after the Italian flouted government lockdown rules by hosting a house party. Images of the 20-year-old, who joined from Juventus last summer, appeared in the British press on Saturday.
"Everton Football Club was appalled to learn of an incident in which a first team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis," the Premier League club said in a statement. "The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.
-- NBA players set to return to training
Reports in the U.S. are suggesting that NBA players could return to team training facilities as early as Friday, provided there are no stay-at-home orders as part of the response to the coronavirus pandemic in their respective states.
The NBA was the first major professional American sports league to halt its season due to the coronavirus on March 11 after Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz tested positive.
Strict measures are being put in place, while the resumption of training will initially be on a purely voluntary basis.
-- Nicaragua host boxing event as fighters "have to eat"
Boxing resumed in Nicaragua on Saturday night with a televised eight-fight card infront of a live, though sparse audience in Managua.
Promoter Rosendo Alvarez, a former two-time world champion, offered free tickets to the event whilst openly dismissing the threat of the virus.
“Here we don't fear the coronavirus, and there is no quarantine. The three deaths (reported so far by the Ministry of Health) came from outside and nobody within the country has been contaminated,'' Alvarez, known as “El Bufalo,” said before the event. “Nicaragua is a poor country and the boxers have to eat. They can't stay shut up in their house.”
Officials did not announce attendance figures.
-- Plans for new 18-race F1 season
The Formula One season could start in Austria on July 5, the first of an 18-race season, as some venues prepare to host more than one race.
The Australian Grand Prix on March 15 was the first of nine grand prixs to be postponed or canceled, but tentative plans are in place for some venues to hold back-to-back races, starting at the Red Bull circuit in Austria, to get the season up and running.
"Obviously a lot of research has gone on into how a race could be hosted without fans and the minimum amount of people in attendance," Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said.
"Procedures would be put in place, including (virus) testing with team numbers reduced to around 80 people.
"The global crisis is bigger than our sport, but if you put a marker in the sand and say, July 5 is the starting point, if things change and get worse, they can always be changed," Horner added.
Silverstone has also been earmarked to host back-to-back races in July, despite the UK having been badly affected by the virus.
April 25
-- Premier League eyeing June return
The English Premier League is hoping to return on June 8 in order to complete the unfinished season on July 27, according to a report in The Times newspaper. The Premier League has 92 games to complete, with most of its 20 teams having played 29 of the 38 games, and it is reported that its executives have been holding talks with the British government with other sports governing bodies.
Games would be played behind closed doors and a maximum of only 400 people would be allowed to attend including the media, subject to a negative Covid-19 test. The United Kingdom recorded 768 coronavirus deaths on Friday, not including those in care homes, with its total number of deaths likely to pass the 20,000 mark on Saturday.
-- UFC set for return on May 9 in Florida
After several recent cancellations due to the spread of the coronavirus, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has announced its comeback with three fight cards in the space of a week in Jacksonville, Florida.
"We're going back-to-back: we're doing Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday," said Dana White. "This event is going to be stacked from top to bottom. Just the main event, [Tony] Ferguson versus [Justin] Gaejthe. It's impossible for that to not be an incredible fight."
Restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic had prevented UFC 249 from being staged last Saturday after ESPN refused to give the UFC the green light.
April 24
-- Bremen in financial trouble
Relegation-threatened Werder Bremen will likely need an emergency loan of tens of millions during the coronavirus, according to business executive Klaus Filbry. Incurring debts is "a novelty, but it also reveals the urgency of this not self-inflicted debt crisis. We are obligated to secure the financial survival of Werder," Filbry told SID.
In the worst case, around €45 million of income would break away. Without outside help, not even further pay cuts from the team would stem the crisis.
"The threat potential is very, very high," Filbry told SID.
The DFL recently revealed though, that thanks to agreements with media partners clubs have had their financial status secured for the short term.
-- Netherlands abandons Eredivisie season, will not name a champion
The Eredivisie top-flight football league in the Netherlands has become the first in Europe to cancel the remainder of its season, bosses announced. They also declared that no champion would be declared this season, with Ajax only a whisker ahead in the standings when the coronavirus stopped play last month.
Ajax had been tied on points with second-place AZ Alkmaar, but ahead on goal difference. The Dutch football federation, the KVNB, has said it will award its Champions League and Europa League slots for next season based on the current standings.
Earlier in the week, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte had said that large gatherings, including soccer matches, would be banned until September 1.
Neighboring Belgium has also nixed the rest of its season, but that decision has not yet been ratified.
-- German Cup postponed, final to be rearranged
Currently suspended at the semi-final stage, the DFB (German football association) have announced that the final, due to take place in Berlin on May 23, has been cancelled. No official date for the rearranged fixture was decided upon in the video-conference of its board on Friday, but the hope is that it can take place before June 30.
"Under the proviso that the match is approved, we'll be facing up to the first 'living-room final', so to speak, in the history of the German Cup," said president Fritz Keller. "The German Cup final is a glittering highlight and finale to every season that thrives on the unique atmosphere inside the stadium and the flair of Berlin. Both are decisively influenced by the fans. In that regard, it is extremely regrettable that this special match will, in all likelihood, also have to take place without spectators in attendance."
-- K-League set to return to action on May 8
South Korea's top football division the K-League announced on Friday that the delayed season will kick off on May 8. The league was suspended when South Korea went into lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic, and players have recently returned to training and started playing practice games this week. There have been more than 10,700 cases of COVID-19 in South Korea and 240 deaths according to a tally compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
"It would be great to play in front of fans, but if we all play our part in stopping the spread of the virus then they will soon be back in their seats," Incheon United captain Kim Do-hyeok said.
-- Beckham set to take part in #AllInChallenge
What an offer from former England international and current Inter Miami owner, David Beckham!
-- Serie A season extended until August 2
Italian football chiefs on Thursday announced that the end of the Serie A season will be pushed back from June 30 to August 2 to finish the season suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Federation president Gabriele Gravina said the FIGC would "adopt a resolution in the coming hours to postpone the end of the 2019/2020 sports season to August 2".
No sport has been played in Italy since March 9 as the country grapples with the COVID-19 crisis which has killed over 25,000 people.
April 23
-- UEFA: Some leagues can be canceled 'in special cases'
Europe's football confederation published guidelines for how its member associations could legitimately "prematurely terminate their domestic competitions."
UEFA said that, if possible, it still recommends that associations "explore all possible options to play all top domestic competitions giving access to UEFA club competitions to their natural conclusion," thus "enabling football clubs to qualify for UEFA club competitions (the Champions League and Europa League) on sporting merit."
However, the body has recognized that "the health of players, spectators and all those involved in football as well as the public at large must remain the primary concern at this time."
UEFA said there were two legitimate reasons to call off a season:
If there was an "official order" ending the possibility a season could conclude
If continuing the season "put at risk the long-term financial stability" of a domestic competition or its clubs.
Leagues terminated for legitimate reasons would have to determine eligibility for the Champions League or Europa League on "objective, transparent and non-discriminatory principles." But UEFA reserved the right to deny or investigate admission to its club competitions.
Belgium's Jupiler Pro League was the first competition to cancel the remainder of its season. The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) have also proposed curtailing its top-flight Premiership after clubs in lower divisions agreed to end the season.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin previously said that domestic competitions which prematurely ended their season risked losing eligibility for the Champions League and Europa League.
-- UEFA to keep EURO 2020 brand for 2021 championship
The European confederation also announced that next year's European Championship, postponed to 2021 due to the coronavirus, said the tournament will still be called UEFA EURO 2020.
"This decision allows UEFA to keep the original vision of the tournament to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Football Championships," the body said in a statement.
-- UEFA Women's EUROs rescheduled for 2022
The UEFA Executive Committee has confirmed that the postponed UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 will be played a year later in England from July 6 to 31, 2022. It is planned to use the same venues that were originally proposed to host the event.
“When we had to take an urgent decision on the postponement of UEFA EURO 2020, we always had the impact on UEFA Women’s EURO 2021 in mind," explained UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin. "We have carefully considered all options, with our commitment to the growth of women’s football at the forefront of our thinking. By moving UEFA Women’s EURO to the following year, we are ensuring that our flagship women’s competition will be the only major football tournament of the summer, providing it with the spotlight it deserves."

-- Germany international Antonio Rüdiger covers catering costs at Berlin hospital
Chelsea and Germany defender Antonio Rüdiger has made a "significant financial donation" to help the Berlin Charité hospital, where he was born in 1993, during the outbreak of the new coronavirus.
"I contacted the Berlin Charite before Easter and asked where I can help the most. They told me that it's very difficult to organise catering for the nursing staff during these days as the canteen is closed at the moment, as are all the restaurants around the hospital. I decided to overtake the catering costs for at least three months," the 27-year-old told Chelsea's official website.
"I'm thankful for everything Berlin has given me during my youth. Now I have the possibility to give something back and hope the situation will get better very soon."
-- Australia PM considers exemption for NZ Warriors
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison signalled Thursday he could allow the New Zealand Warriors into Australia to play in a resumed NRL competition, which rugby league officials hope will kick off next month.
"That is an area that I think we can look potentially favourably on provided all the other arrangements are in place regarding public safety," he told reporters in Canberra. "That's something we'll just work through patiently."
The NRL has been pushing hard to restart the league despite the virus shutdown, with officials reaffirming plans Wednesday for teams to begin training on May 4 and games to resume on May 28.
-- Mori says "no chance" of further Olympics delays
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics cannot be delayed beyond the year-long postponement already forced by the coronavirus outbreak, the organising committee's president has warned in comments published Thursday.
Tokyo 2020 president Yoshiro Mori said there is "absolutely no" chance of postponing the Games beyond their rescheduled July 23, 2021 opening, according to Kyodo News agency. "Also thinking about athletes and issues over Games management, it is technically difficult to delay it by two years," Mori was quoted as saying.

-- BVB's Kehl: Empty stadiums 'definitely a disadvantage'
Borussia Dortmund official Sebastian Kehl said games behind closed doors, known as "Geisterspiele" (ghost games) in German, would be a disadvantage for the club.
Dortmund is home to the Westfalenstadion, Germany's biggest football ground with a capacity of more than 80,000. Its south stand, nicknamed the "gelbe Mauer" (Yellow Wall), is one of the largest home ends in the world.
"If you suddenly don't have more than 80,00 fans behind you, 25,000 of them on the south stand alone, then that is definitely not an advantage," Kehl, a former BVB captain, told Sport Bild, a weekly German sports magazine.
He said Dortmund coach Lucien Favre is preparing his players mentally for the scenario. "It is clear that the games will be very unusual for the players in the beginning, especially at home."
The 36 clubs from Germany's top two divisions, the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2, are set to discuss how the German football season could conclude amid the coronavirus pandemic. Reports in Germany suggest that clubs are leaning towards playing the remainder of the season without fans, with the campaign resuming sometime in May.
-- Berlin marathon organizers shocked by large event ban
Berlin's decision to ban public gatherings of more than 5,000 people took organizers of the city's marathon by surprise.
The German government banned large gatherings nationwide until August 31. The city of Berlin went a step further on Tuesday, prohibiting mass events until October 24. The Berlin marathon is scheduled for September 27.
"I am absolutely surprised," Jürgen Lock, the managing director of the club SCC Berlin that runs the event, told Berlin's Tagesspiegel newspaper. "I didn't expect the [city] senate to act beyond that [August 31] date."
Berlin Sports Senator Andreas Geisel said he regretted the decision, but he wanted to give event organizers an early heads up.
The event has still not been officially canceled, with organizers saying on the event website: "We will now deal with the consequences
of the official prohibition of our events, coordinate the further steps and inform you as soon as we can."
-- Swiss League: Games without fans only option
The Swiss Football League (SFL) said playing games behind closed doors is "the only viable path" as it tries to conclude its season amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Swiss League, one of the first to stop play due to the coronavirus pandemic, has been suspended since March 2.
"In this phase, this seems to be the only viable path to save Swiss professional football in its current form, while complying with the important measures to protect players and the population," the SFL said in a statement.
The SFL said that it submitted a detailed plan to the Swiss government for the resumption of training sessions and matches. The association cooperated with Bern University's Infectious Disease institute to draw up the plan.
It added that restarting the championship, even with matches played behind closed doors, could be a positive sign for the country, but it was also imperative to prevent the financial ruin of Swiss football.
"With the resumption of play ... top football wants to send a signal that it is possible to return to something closer to normality as soon as possible," it said.
-- CHIO Aachen called off
The CHIO Aachen 2020, the world's largest equestrian tournament, has been canceled due to the coronavirus crisis.
The competition, which was to take place from May 29 to June 7, had initially been postponed to a later date in 2020.
Organizers attributed the event's cancellation to "national and international developments and the measures decided by the [German] government," since major events are banned until at least August 31.
"People's health is above all else," said Frank Kemperman, CEO of the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein equestrian club that runs the event.
CHIO Managing Director Michael Mronz said a virtual CHIO Aachen 2020 is in the works. Organizers will present a more detailed project in the coming days.

-- Handball Bundesliga ends season
Germany's top handball league, the Handball-Bundesliga (HBL), has canceled the rest of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic and named THW Kiel champions.
"From a sporting perspective, the best thing of course would have been to continue the season. However, the framework to do so was not right in terms of health, organization and economy. Of all the unfair solutions, we thought this would be best," said league chief executive Frank Bohmann.
The HBL last held a game on March 8 before putting its season on hold. Kiel were atop the standings when the league was stopped, just ahead of SG Flensburg-Handewitt.
-- Dutch FA plans to end football season
The Dutch football season effectively ended after the country's football association (KNVB) said it would not continue efforts to try to complete the 2019-20 campaign.
The KNVB said it would first consult UEFA, Europe's football confederation.
The announcement came after Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte banned events, including professional sports and music festivals, until September 1 to prevent a resurgence of the coronavirus.
"That the events requiring a permit remain prohibited until September 1 now offers clarity," the KNVB said.
Dutch clubs and other stakeholders will meet on April 24 to discuss the issue.
-- UEFA 'strongly recommends' leagues complete seasons
After a video conference with its 55 members, UEFA, Europe's football confederation, pushed for leagues to conclude their seasons, but it is ready to hear requests for possible cancellations.
"There was a strong recommendation given to finish domestic top division and cup competitions, although it is understood that there may be some special cases," UEFA said in a statement.
UEFA President Alexander Ceferin recently said that ending seasons prematurely could endanger participation in continental competitions.
Belgium's top-flight Jupiler Pro League said earlier this month it wanted to declare current standings final, the only league to do so thus far.
April 20
-- Djokovic opposed to vaccination
World tennis number 1 Novak Djokovic has cast serious doubt over whether he will be able to return to tennis, even if a vaccine for coronavirus is found.
"Personally I am opposed to vaccination and I wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel," he said in a live Facebook chat with several fellow Serbian athletes on Sunday.
"But if it becomes compulsory, what will happen? I will have to make a decision. I have my own thoughts about the matter and whether those thoughts will change at some point, I don’t know.
"Hypothetically, if the season was to resume in July, August or September, though unlikely, I understand that a vaccine will become a requirement straight after we are out of strict quarantine and there is no vaccine yet."
This year's Wimbledon has already been canceled and the French Open has been pushed back provisionally to September. Currently, all tennis tournaments are supsended until July 13.
-- Pay cuts in two big sports down under
Australia’s rugby union and cricket stars are willing to take pay cuts. Both sports are popular across the country but neither is entirely financial secure.
"Australia’s professional players will play a central role in the short–term preservation of the game by accepting a significant reduction in pay in order for necessary transformation to begin," Rugby Union Players' Association boss Justin Harrison said in a statement, which did not reveal any concrete numbers.
Though it is currently the off-season for cricket down under, Cricket Australia recently announced plans to furlough nearly 80 percent of its staff, putting them on 20 per cent pay until June 30 at least. Australian international Josh Hazelwood said the news has shocked the playing group, hinting that they too were ready to take a cut.
"It probably took me a little bit by surprise just due to the fact that it’s happened at a perfect time, this pandemic, for Cricket Australia," Hazlewood told reporters on a video conference on Monday.
"We’re obviously partners in the game and we’ve always said that. We’ve ridden the highs and now it’s time to ride the lows. We’ll see what it comes to and we’ll obviously play our part."

-- Roma players waive salary for four months
Players and coaches at the Italian Serie A Roma have waived their salary for four months in order to help the club get through a crisis sparked by the coronavirus pandemic.
Roma have not played a competitive match since March 1 because of the coronavirus. Players and coaching staff have agreed to forgo their salaries for March, April, May and June.
Furthermore, players and coaches also agreed to top up the wages of club employees placed on the Italian government's social safety-net scheme, so as to ensure they will still receive their full regular salaries.
-- Reus and Haaland team up
In March, Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus and his wife Scarlett started an initiative to help local businesses during the coronavirus outbreak. The couple got the ball rolling with a donation of €500,000, and have now been joined by Reus' Dortmund teammate Erling Haaland.
"We are very happy to have another supporter of the city of Dortmund
on board in Erling Haaland," read a message on social media by the project, 'HelpYourHometown'.
-- Wolfsburg players to be given time off
In anticipation of returning to focused training for the possible resumption of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg's players will be given time off in the week ahead.
"We have now been in individual or group training for five weeks and now we will have a break, above all to keep the players mentally fresh," head coach Oliver Glasner said on Sunday.

The event will consist of 80 competitors playing a total of 32 matches over four days on an indoor clay surface at a tennis academy near Koblenz.
None of the players expected to be involved are currently ranked in the top 100.

-- Tönnies offers lab support
Schalke chairman and meat manufacturer Clemens Tönnies has offered support to the German football league (DFL) during coronavirus testing through the use of his laboratory.
"There was an exchange," Tönnies told dpa on Saturday. "The decision
now lies with the DFL. If they have enough test capacity then we will
make ours available to others."
The labs are typically used to analyze pig's blood. Tönnies believes somewhere between 180 and 200 thousand tests per month might be possible.
The 63-year-old also said he was not looking to make any financial gain from the emergency situation.
The DFL did not want to comment.
-- Fans a must at Berlin ISTAF
If coronavirus restrictions remain in place, the traditional Berlin athletics meet ISTAF will not take place without spectators, organizers have said.
"What we will definitely not do is a closed-door ISTAF," meeting director Martin Seeber told the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper.
The event is scheduled for September 13.
Seeber added that without money generated by ticket sales, top stars might not compete in Berlin.
Seeber and his team are still hopeful the event can go ahead but are also planning for a potential cancellation. There is hope for a decision by mid June.

-- Women's football facing 'existential threat'
The coronavirus pandemic presents "an almost existential threat" to women's football, according to a report by global players' union FIFPro published Thursday.
Much attention has been given to the economic impact of the suspension on the far richer men's game, but FIFPro warns that women's football -- despite recent growth -- is particularly vulnerable, with less established professional leagues, lower salaries and less investment meaning "the fragility of the women's football eco-system is exposed by the current situation".
-- DFL: No agreement with TV partners over final payout
The German Football League (DFL), which governs the country's top two divisions, has not reached an agreement with pay-television broadcaster Sky Deutschland regarding the fourth and final payment to Bundesliga clubs for television rights this season.
The last payment of €304 million ($329 million) was scheduled for April 4 but was not made, according to reports in Germany. The Bundesliga has not held a match since March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bild, a mass-circulation German newspaper, reported on Thursday that the DFL had reached an agreement with Sky and other broadcast rights holders over the final payment. The DFL denied the report in a tweet, saying talks were still ongoing.
"The DFL is in talks with all media partners," the tweet said. "There is still no contractual agreement with Sky."
Sky is the Bundesliga's primary broadcast rights holder in Germany, with the DAZN streaming service and German broadcaster ZDF also possessing broadcast rights. Sky is the lone broadcaster of the second-tier Bundesliga 2.
According to Kicker, a German sports magazine, 13 clubs in Germany's top two divisions, including four Bundesliga clubs, face insolvency if they do not receive the money.
The 36 clubs from Germany's top two divisions are scheduled to meet on April 23 to discuss if, how and when the football season can resume. They have discussed the possibility of playing out the season with Geisterspiele, games behind closed doors.
On Wednesday, Germany's federal and state governments agreed to continue a ban on major events until at least the end of August.
-- Third division clubs call for season to end
Eight clubs from Germany's third division have called for the season to end to protect health and prevent further financial damage.
Waldhof Mannheim, Halle, Magdeburg, Carl Zeiss Jena, Chemnitz, Preussen Münster, Zwickau and Sonnenhof Grossaspach said in a joint statement that they saw no way for the season to continue. Ending the season was "the most sensible path for the community, the protection of our employees and the preservation of [third division] clubs."
The eight clubs proposed using the current table to determine promotion, but said teams currently in the relegation zone, who would drop down to Germany's regional leagues, should remain in the third tier.
"This leads to more teams next season, but is a fair compromise and enables partial economic and media compensation in the comping season," the clubs said.
The proposal is a bit self-serving as seven of the eight clubs are either in the drop zone or a handful of points above it. Meanwhile, Mannheim is currently in second place and would be promoted under the proposal.
This appeal from the eight clubs is in direct contrast to one made by Bavaria's state football association (BFV), which said the continuation of the season was "unavoidable." All five Bavarian teams in the third division — 1860 Munich, Ingolstadt, Unterhaching, Würzburg and Bayern Munich's reserve team — are all in the top-half of the table.
-- Cricket body 'exploring all options' over T20 World Cup
The International Cricket Council has denied speculation that the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia, scheduled to start October 18, until 2021.
"We are continuing with our planning for ICC events as they are, but given the rapidly evolving situation, as a prudent and responsible measure we are also undertaking a comprehensive contingency planning exercise," an ICC spokesman said. "This includes exploring all options available to us based on a range of scenarios connected to the pandemic."
The spokesman said the ICC has time on its side and is preparing to stick to its schedule while also recognizing that plans could change.
"We will continue to take advice from experts and authorities, including the Australian government and will take decisions at the appropriate time."
April 15
-- Germany announces events ban
As part of a series of updated measures announced on Wednesday evening, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said major sporting events in the country will be banned until August 31 in line with other large public gatherings, such as concerts.
This is likely to mean Bundesliga matches, and other such games, will have to be played behind close doors until that point. The viability of such 'ghost games' in Germany's top divisions will be determined by individual states and cities in conjunction with the DFL, who operate the league.
-- New Tour de France dates
The Tour de France, the biggest event in the cycling calendar, has been put back two months and will now start in Nice on August 29, organizers ASO have confirmed. The race will finish on September 20 on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
On Monday, French president Emmanuel Macron had announced an extension of coronavirus restrictions across the country, banning large public events until July 11 at the earliest - including the Tour de France, originally scheduled for June 27 - July 19.
"There has been constant communication between riders, teams, organizers and relevant third parties over the past few weeks," said ASO in a statement.
Tour director Christian Prudhomme said the decision was taken "in order to distance ourselves as much as possible from the pandemic" but insisted that it "will not be a cut-back Tour."
The routes of each stage are to remain the same, except for a possible minor alterations in built-up areas, he said.
-- Schalke facing existential crisis
Bundesliga side Schalke 04 are facing a severe financial crisis should the fourth and final installment of the Bundesliga's broadcast rights money – worth €15,892,000 ($17,277,464) to the Royal Blues – not be paid on May 2.
The payment from German rights holders Sky, DAZN and ARD to the German Football League (DFL) was due on April 10 but, according to Kicker magazine, has not yet been made, as uncertainty over the continuation of the current season continues.
Answering questions from fans on Facebook on Wednesday, Schalke’s finance director Peter Peters admitted that he is "concerned" about the club’s current situation. "Everything depends on when we can start making money again," he said. "And that means playing football."
Marketing director Alexander Jobst said on March 17 that "it’s a question of survival" and emailed VIP box owners on April 8 asking them to refrain from requesting refunds for the remaining four home games. "The club is facing a potentially existence-threatening economic situation and is reliant on sponsoring and hospitality income more than ever," he wrote.
Schalke ended the 2019 financial year with debts of almost €200 million ($217.7m). The first-team players have accepted a 15 percent wage cut, with a further 15 percent deferred, while club employees have been furloughed. The club has also announced that it is scrapping its second-division basketball team in order to focus on football.
Schalke are one of only five current Bundesliga clubs who have not out-sourced their professional football operation into a separate company, meaning they are more reliant on broadcast revenue, transfer fees and regular participation in European competition than most. As many as 10,000 voting members regularly attend the club’s annual general meetings and have consistently voted against a so-called Ausgliederung.
April 14
-- DFL meeting postponed to next week
The 36 clubs from Germany's top two divisions will not meet on Friday as planned, instead teleconferencing on April 23.
The German Football League (DFL), the company that govern's Germany's top two divisions, said the postponement "is aimed at giving clubs and the DFL more time to prepare intensively for upcoming decisions."
The Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga clubs agreed in their last session to postpone the season until at least May 1. Lockdown measures remain in place in Germany. Angela Merkel is set to meet with state premiers on Wednesday to discuss the next steps.
-- Tour de France to be postponed
The biggest event in the cycling calendar, the Tour de France, is set to be postponed after organizers gave up on the original June 27 start date, according to DPA.
The staging of the Tour, one of the last major international sporting events not to have been canceled due to coronavirus, was rendered impossible after French president Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday that restrictions on public events would continue until the middle of July.
-- 'Ghost games' possibly until fall of 2021
The German National Academy of Sciences, the Leopoldina, recommended on Easter Monday that Germany could begin to reduce coronavirus restrictions. But its president, Gerauld Haug, has told public broadcaster ARD that football supporters will likely have to wait a lot longer before they can return to stadiums.
"It will take months, it could even take one and a half years," said Haug when asked how long football matches would have to remain behind closed doors, a timeline which would stretch until the latter part of 2021.
The 52-year-old insisted that the coronavirus pandemic will only truly be over "once a vaccine is available" and that stadium visits before then would "not be wise."
April 11
-- Scottish Premiership to be canceled?
Glasgow-based club Rangers has called for the suspension of Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) president Neil Doncaster over his handling of a vote to possibly cancel the Scottish Premiership season.
Scotland's 42 clubs voted digitally on an SPFL proposal to end the season in the Premiership and the lower divisions if the coronavirus situation does not improve. The SPFL said on Friday that 10 Premiership clubs and seven Championship (second-tier) clubs have voted in favor of the resolution.
Second-tier Dundee, who has yet to vote, is the swing vote that would determine whether the final standings are decided on a points-per-game basis.
Rangers, who are currently second in the Premiership table behind rivals Celtic, said they obtained evidence via a whistleblower that "raises serious concerns" over how the vote was carried out. The club said they were rebuffed by Doncaster when it presented the evidence to him.
"Rangers will not be bullied into silence," the club said in a statement. "We believe it is in the interests of all Scottish clubs and supporters that the evidence, which is alarming, be addressed as quickly as possible."
-- Major preseason football tournament canceled
The International Champions Cup, a preseason football tournament that sees major European teams play games across the US and Asia, has been canceled. With uncertainty in the football calendar planning such an event was "unfeasible", reads the statement.

April 10
-- UFC canceled after ESPN & Disney intervention
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world's biggest mixed martial arts event, will not return this month after all, the organizers have confirmed.
UFC president Dana White had insisted that the sport would be the first to return to action, with UFC 249 scheduled for April 18 in an empty arena owned by the indigenous American Tachi Yokut tribe in California.
Tribal land does not fall under the jurisdiction of the United States government and is therefore exempt from restrictions implemented to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
But White has been forced to backtrack after broadcaster ESPN, which paid a reported $1.5bn for UFC rights in 2019, and its parent company Disney stepped in to halt the plans.
"ESPN has been in constant contact with the UFC regarding UFC 249," the network said in a statement to Associated Press. "Nobody wants to see sports return more than we do, but we didn't feel this was the right time for a variety of reasons. ESPN expressed its concerns to the UFC and they understood.''
White said he agreed to postpone the event because he “loves and respects” his partnership with the broadcasters, but he’s now pursuing an alternative plan to construct his own octagon on an unidentified private island. He had initially planned to use the so-called "Fight Island" idea for foreign fighters who couldn’t get into the US.
"Fight Island infrastructure is being built and will be up and running ASAP," White told the AP.
April 9
-- German football boss fears insolvencies
Fritz Keller, the president of the German Football Association (DFB), fears for the future of the game in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
"I don't think that after the coronavirus crisis the landscape of football will look as it does today," he told TV channel Phoenix on Thursday. "I think the longer this goes on, the more bankruptcies we’ll have, even in professional football."
Widespread reports in Germany suggest clubs from the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2 and the third division are already facing severe financial pressures due to the loss of revenues caused by the suspension of the football season. Keller added that these clubs "must be helped".
-- NHS contribution from Premier League stars
Premier League footballers have come together in order to raise funds for the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
The #PlayersTogether initiative, which has been led by Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, has been set up to "help those fighting for us on the NHS frontline" amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Government health minister Matt Hancock recently publicly called on players to take a pay cut, though neglected to ask the same of the country’s other high earning professions. He said he "warmly welcomed" the "big-hearted decision."
The UK has now seen more than 7,000 coronavirus deaths and recorded a toll of almost 1000 deaths on Wednesday alone, its highest total so far.
A #PlayersTogether statement was posted on social media by more than 150 players "collaborating together to create a voluntary initiative, separate to any other league and club conversation."
No figures have yet been announced but the players said they hope to "quickly grant funds to the NHS frontline."
-- Formula 1 considers its options
Nine grand prixs have already been canceled, but F1 sporting director Ross Brawn believes it may still be possible to complete a season with up to 19 races.
Several teams have indicated a willingness to accept widespread alterations to the format of the season, including extending it into 2021.
As things stand, the first race remaining on the calendar is the French GP on June 28. Brawn said F1 is making plans on the assumption that restrictions in place across Europe will be lifted or eased before that date.
"Our view is probably a European start will be favourable and that could even be a closed event," he told Sky Sports. "We could have a very enclosed environment, where teams come in on charters, we channel them into the circuit, we make sure everyone is tested, cleared and that there is no risk to anyone.
"We would have a race with no spectators. That’s not great but it’s better than no racing at all."
April 8
-- Real Madrid players agree temporary pay cut
Players at Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid have agreed to accept a pay cut for the rest of the current season in an effort to minimize the effects of the negative financial implications of the coronavirus outbreak on other employees.
"Players and coaches from both the football and basketball teams, led by their captains, together with the club's main executives, have agreed to voluntarily lower their salary for this year between 10 and 20 percent depending on the way the 2019-20 season finishes," a statement released by the club on Wednesday said.
"This decision, adopted by players, coaches and employees, avoids traumatic measures affecting the rest of the staff," it added.
-- Seifert: 'We have to play our role'
DFL president Christian Seifert has said the 36 teams in Germany's top two divisions are "all fighting to survive", but has told the New York times that "very constructive talks" are ongoing as they look to restart the season by the start of May.
"We are part of the culture in the country, people long to get back a short piece of normal life, and that could mean the Bundesliga plays again," Seifert told the New York Times. "This is why we have to play our role here, and that means to support the government and to talk with the government about when we will be able to play again."
-- Schalke fearing for their existence
Bundesliga side FC Schalke 04 released a statement on Wednesday to outline the "existential economic situation" the club may be facing should Germany's top flight not recommence at the start of May. The statement on the club's website follows on from club chairman Clemens Tönnies telling the Welt am Sonntag newspaper he was "very worried about Schalke" in the current crisis.
The Royal Blues thanked season ticket holders who have waived a partial reimbursement offered by the club saying that every waiver "is an immense contribution towards the stabilizing the liquidity and survival of the club." The Gelsenkirchen-based outfit said resuming the season, even with matches behind closed doors, would be good news because at least television revenues would be protected.
-- Kerber envisions new future for tennis
Former Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber believes tennis could return from the coronavirus crisis with matches behind closed doors.
"For me the fans simply belong there. Tennis matches without fans is everything other than ideal but as a path to normality we have to discuss scenarios that would otherwise seem absurd," she told the Sport Bild on Wednesday.
-- No fans, no Ryder Cup?
Europe's Ryder Cup captain Padraig Harrington believes the biennial match with the United States should be postponed if fans are ordered to stay away due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Nobody wants to see the Ryder Cup played without the fans being there," Harrington told the BBC. "There's no doubt that it makes the tournament so much better. I think the common consensus now is the Ryder Cup will not be played unless the fans are there."
April 7
-- FIFA releases coronavirus guidelines
FIFA has drawn up a set of guidelines on players' contracts and transfer deadlines as some leagues look likely to have their seasons extended beyond June due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"With the current suspension of play in most countries, it is now obvious that the current season will not end when people thought it would," read a statement released following a meeting of the Bureau of the FIFA Council on Tuesday.
"Therefore, it is proposed that contracts be extended until such time that the season does actually end. This should be in line with the original intention of the parties when the contract was signed and should also preserve sporting integrity and stability."
FIFA added that by extension, any new contracts should not come into force until the following season actually starts.
In terms of transfer windows, FIFA said it "will be flexible and will allow the
relevant transfer windows to be moved so they fall between the end of the old seasonand the start of the new season."
The statement said the recommendations had been compiled by a task force that included representatives of clubs, players, leagues, national associations and confederations.

"We will welcome you with open arms at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve as soon as it is safe to do so," Francois Dumontier, president and CEO of Formula One Canadian Grand Prix, said in a statement. He added that it was "crucial to put all energies towards overcoming the pandemic."
The Canadian Grand Prix is the ninth race on the 2020 F1 calendar to be canceled or postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
-- La Liga hoping for late May resumption
The president of La Liga says Spain’s domestic football season could potentially resume at the end of May. Javier Tebas said that May 28 was the earliest possible date while dates at the start and the end of June were also currently under consideration.
In a conference call with various journalists, Tebas also said La Liga clubs will lose around €1bn ($1.1 billion) if the 2019-20 campaign cannot be restarted and suggested matches behind closed doors were likely.
The last time a Spanish side played a match was when Atletico Madrid knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League at Anfield on March 11.

-- Werder Bremen to start group training
Werder Bremen players are expected to start training on Tuesday after the city of Bremen agreed on Monday to allow the Bundesliga club to do so in groups of up to four outdoors.
Bremen's sporting director, Frank Baumann, described the decision as "positive" and an "important step."
"However, we will continue to train without physical contact and comply with the distance regulations for our training exercises," Baumann said in a statement posted on the club's website.
Several Bundesliga clubs, including champions Bayern Munich, had already started group training on Monday, but the decision by the city-state's interior minister didn't come until late in the afternoon.
The decision is valid until April 19th.
-- Pep Guardiola's mother passes away
Dolors Sala Carrió, the 82-year-old mother of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, died on Monday of COVID-19 in Manresa near Barcelona, Spain.
"Everyone associated with the club sends their most heartfelt sympathy at this most distressing time to Pep, his family and all their friends," a Manchester City club statement read.
Former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Guardiola donated €1 million to his native Catalonia for its efforts fighting the novel coronavirus last week. He also appeared in part of a Manchester City video encouraging people to follow social distancing guidelines.
-- The Open is cancelled
The 149th Open Championship scheduled for Royal St George's from July 16-19 has become the latest major sporting event to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, golf's governing body the R&A announced on Monday.
"Our absolute priority is to protect the health and safety of the fans, players, officials, volunteers and staff involved in The Open. We care deeply about this historic Championship and have made this decision with a heavy heart." Martin Slumbers, Chief Executive of The R&A.
-- Reims doctor takes life
A doctor at French soccer club Reims has killed himself after getting infected with the coronavirus.
Reims Mayor Arnaud Robinet told Le Parisien newspaper Bernard Gonzalez "is a collateral victim of COVID-19 because he had tested positive and was in isolation for 14 days. I know he had left a note to explain his decision." Officials at the club say Gonzalez, who had worked at the club for 23 years, died Sunday, aged 60.
-- Bundesliga clubs resume training, but not in Bremen
Reigning champions Bayern Munich assured fans that, "all health guidelines are being adhered to" as they were among the Bundesliga clubs who made their return to team training on Monday.
Many in Germany's top flight have opted to train players in small groups amid strict measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
That has not been the case for relegation-threated Werder Bremen, who fear being unable to resume training in amid the coronavirus crisis could impact their bid for survival. Werder applied to the Bremen city council to have the restrictions lifted, but no decision has yet been made.
"We will continue to completely implement the requirements of the authorities in all areas," coach Florian Kohfeldt told the club homepage. "We hope not to suffer a competitive disadvantage here and would rather welcome a unified national solution."
April 5
-- Bundesliga return in May possible if players remain in 'special bubble'
Bundesliga games could resume behind closed doors only if the players remain in a "special bubble," according to German virologist Alexander Kekulé.
Since the players don't fall in the high risk group when it comes to the new coronavirus, "the problem is solvable, virologically speaking," Kekulé told German broadcaster ZDF. "But only if one achieves a sort of special bubble for the players."
He said teams should remain in some form of quarantine. "Otherwise one needs to test them before every game." Kekulé believes 20,000 coronavirus tests would be needed.
-- Xavi supports Barcelona hospital
Barcelona and Spain legend Xavi Hernandez and his wife have donated €1 million ($1.08 million) to the city's Hospital Clinic to help the fight against the pandemic.
"Xavi Hernandez and Nuria Cunillera have made a donation of one million euros to the clinic to face up to COVID-19. Thanks a lot for your help and support... All together, we will get there," the hospital tweeted on Saturday.
"Nuria and I, we support the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona's fight against the coronavirus," Xavi said. "Thanks to the donations they are receiving, the hospital has acquired equipment for patients and healthcare professionals."
April 4
-- Liverpool furlough non-playing staff
Premier League club Liverpool are the latest outfit to use a UK government scheme to furlough some non-playing staff, with the competition having been suspended for almost four weeks due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The announcement came as the Premier League was holding talks on Saturday with clubs, captains and managers to discuss possible wage cuts for players during the suspension.
Under the UK's job retention scheme implemented last month as lockdown was implemented, staff put on furlough can receive 80 per cent of their salaries from the government, up to £2,500 ($3000)
Liverpool said those who are furloughed will still receive their entire salary, with the club topping up their pay "to ensure no member of staff is financially disadvantaged."
-- DFL deny amended schedule report
The German Football League (DFL), which operates the Bundesliga and the second division, has dismissed a media report which suggested it had drawn up a tentative schedule that would see the two leagues complete their seasons by June 30.
In a statement released via Twitter, the DFL described the report published by Kicker on Saturday as "misleading," saying there was "no finished schedule" for the rest of the current season.
"Anything else would be unrealistic given the current situation regarding the coronavirus," it said.
The statement said that two scenarios had been discussed at the DFL's video conference with representatives of the 36 clubs on Tuesday, but that these were subject to "considerable uncertainty," as outlined by DFL Managing Director Christian Seifert in the press conference that followed.
It also stressed that any resumption of play, even behind closed doors, could only take place as and when the authorities deem it safe to do so and that the DFL would not seek any special status at a time when battling the coronavirus was the top priority for society as a whole.
The magazine had reported that the DFL and its 36 clubs had agreed on a plan to resume the season behind closed doors as soon as the first weekend in May.
The DFL statement did not comment on another report by Kicker, which said the financial situation for Germany's professional clubs was worse than many had feared.
Kicker reported that a more than third of the clubs in the two top tiers of German football (13 of 36) could face bankruptcy by the end of the current season. According to the report, this was revealed during the DFL's video conference. The organization had previously asked each club to take stock of their financial situation amid the coronavirus pandemic, which led it to postpone Matchday 26 in mid-March.
Among other things, the report say that seven second-division clubs could be forced to file for bankruptcy as early as the end of May, if matches cannot be played by then – two others could be forced to do so in June if the fourth installment from the DFL's broadcasting deal is not received by then.
As for the Bundesliga, one club is reported only to be able to meet its financial obligations until May, while three others would have to appoint an insolvency administrator in June.
April 3
-- Borussia Dortmund open up stadium for coronavirus treatment
Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund will open the north stand of the Westfalenstadion for the treatment of coronavirus patients in Dortmund, the club have announced.
"Our stadium is a symbol of the city and offers the technology, infrastructure and space to help people who have potentially been infected or are suffering from the relevant symptoms," said CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke and director Carsten Cramer in a statement. "It is our duty and our desire to do all in our power to help these people."
The medical center at Germany's largest football stadium will be open daily from 12:00-16.00 and no appointment will be required.
-- Premier League: indefinite suspension, wage cuts and money for lower leagues and health service
England’s Premier League has announced that play will not resume "until it is safe to do so," ruling out a return to action by the beginning of May.
Football was provisionally suspended in the UK until April 30 and the Premier League has said it is “working closely with the whole of professional football in this country, as well as with the government, public agencies and other relevant stakeholders to ensure the game achieves a collaborative solution.”
In the same statement, the league also said it would be providing a £125 million ($153m) fund for the English Football League, which operates levels two to four of the football pyramid, and National League to help those even further down, as well as a £20 million charitable donation to Britain’s National Health Service (NHS).
Furthermore, all 20 Premier League clubs agreed to “consult their players regarding a combination of conditional reductions and deferrals amounting to 30 per cent of total annual remuneration.” The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) will meet with league and club officials to discuss the proposal on Saturday.
With a reported £760m of television broadcasting revenue at stake, Premier League clubs are desperate to complete the season somehow, although creative ideas such as “World Cup style training camps” or even matches in China have so far failed to receive widespread backing.
-- Tour de Suisse canceled, doubts over Tour de France remain
The 84th edition of the Tour de Suisse has been called off due to the coronavirus. The bike race through Switzerland, considered an important warm-up event ahead of the prestigious Tour de France, was due to take place from June 7-14, but organizers have decided that the risks of infection are too great.
The International Cycling Union is still debating postponing the 107th edition of the Tour de France, which is scheduled to begin in Nice on June 27. Tour chief Christian Prudhomme has already dismissed a suggestion from the French sports minister Roxana Maracineanu to allow the event to take place without fans, while last year's winner Egan Bernal of Colombia has spoken out in favor of a postponement.
April 2
-- Belgian top flight facing season cancelation
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the board of directors of Belgium's Pro League has recommended to its General Assembly that the rest of the 2019-20 season be canceled and that the current standings be declared final. This would mean that Club Bruges, who have a 15-point lead over KAA Gent after 29 matchdays would be crowned Pro League champions.
A statement issued by the Pro League said the recommendation came as a result of a conference call among the directors to consider whether the season should go forward. It added that the decision had taken into account "public health, the interests of all stakeholders and the wish of the majority of clubs not to resume competition."
The board said it had also set up a working group to looking into "problems of a sporting nature as well as the financial implications of this decision."
The recommendation is subject to approval by the league's licensing commission and the General Assembly, which is scheduled to to meet on April 15.
April 1
-- The Wimbledon tennis tournament has been canceled for the first time since World War II, the All England Club said.
Following an emergency meeting, officials said the oldest Grand Slam tournament in tennis would not be held in 2020. Wimbledon was scheduled to be played on the outskirts of London from June 29 to July 12. The next edition of the tournament will be June 28 to July 11, 2021.
"It has weighed heavily on our minds that the staging of The Championships has only been interrupted previously by World Wars," club chairman Ian Hewitt said in a press release, "but, following thorough and extensive consideration of all scenarios, we believe that it is a measure of this global crisis that it is ultimately the right decision to cancel this year's Championships, and instead concentrate on how we can use the breadth of Wimbledon's resources to help those in our local communities and beyond."
-- UEFA postpones international matches, suspends Champions League
Europe's football's governing body has postponed all international matches scheduled to be played in June, including the qualification playoffs for next year's European Championship, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"All national team matches for men and women due to be played in June 2020 are postponed until further notice," UEFA said in a statement. "This includes the playoff matches for EURO 2020 (which has been postponed until 2021) and qualifying matches for the women's EURO 2021."
The Champions League, Europa League and other international friendly matches have also been postponed "until further notice." Both international club competitions were halted during the last-16 stage, with the last matches taking place on March 12.
German broadcaster ZDF and the UK's Guardian newspaper reported that the Champions League and Europa League could be suspended until at least July due to the pandemic.
-- Löw becomes longest-tenured national team coach
On Sunday, Uruguay's football association AUF announced it was laying off most of its staff due to the economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak. That included first team head coach Oscar Tabarez, whose tenure officially came to an end on March 31 after more than 13 years in the job.
The layoff of the 73-year-old Tabarez, who was appointed as Uruguay's coach in February 2006, made German national team coach Joachim Löw the longest-serving active national team coach in the world. Löw took over for Jürgen Klinsmann in July 2006 after that year's World Cup in Germany.
Löw's tenure has spanned 13 years and 264 days thus far. He led Germany to the 2014 World Cup title in Brazil and a Confederations Cup title in Russia in 2017. His contract runs until after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
-- More Bundesliga players accept pay cuts
Players for Bayer Leverkusen, Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Mainz have agreed to surrender part of their salaries as the Bundesliga remains on hiatus.
The pay cuts are part of a continuing trend in Germany of Bundesliga players forgoing wages during the coronavirus crisis.

TweetSoccerBible caught up with Sebastian Kehl, captain of Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund. The midfield player has been with the club for over 10 years, and in that time has enjoyed winning the Bundesliga title on no less than three occasions. At the recent PUMA launch of the new BVB kit, we got the chance to sit down with Kehl...As well as getting Sebastian's opinion on the new kit, we wanted to look ahead to the new season, hear who Sebastian thinks is the best midfielder in the game, and what Manchester United fans can expect from new signing Kagawa.This is a first season for Dortmund with PUMA, what do you think of the
kit?
Sebastian Kehl: I really like the new kit. It has a nice and classic design and the fit
feels comfortable. In general I am looking forward to the new partnership
with PUMA, because it is a great step forward for the club to have signed
this deal.
Is the look, fit and feel important to the players on the pitch?
SK:To the players, the kit is very important. Also because the technical
partner does not only provide the kit, they also produce the whole training
wear. So we wear it on a day-to-day basis and it is very important to feel
comfortable and to have enough freedom of movement.
Is it important to connect the players with the fans through the shirt?SK: Absolutely. The kit presents the whole personality of the club. The shirt
is very important to the fans and a nice design definitely helps to build a
connection to them.How did you feel the first time you saw someone wearing a shirt with your
name on the back?
SK: That is probably quite a while ago now, and I don t remember a specific
situation, but I am sure it was a great moment and it still makes me proud
every time I happen to see it.
Who is your favourite midfielder in world football?
SK: There are so many great footballers out there. I really like to watch the
Champions League and in those matches we normally get to see the best of
the best. Players like Messi, Iniesta or Ronaldo; but there are many great
players that I like to watch playing.
Who was your sporting idol growing up?
SK: It was always Lothar MatthÄus, because he really impressed me during the
world cup in 1990, which was the first tournament that I really followed.Which player do you enjoy having midfield battles against in the
Bundesliga?SK: There is no-one in particular. I have many good friends in the Bundesliga
and we often get to play against each other, but in a match situation
everybody wants to play well, so that is what counts. But in general I
neither have a favourite opponent nor do I have someone that I would like
to avoid in particular. As I am rather tall I prefer to not play against
small and agile midfielders.Are you confident or defending your Bundesliga title?
SK: Of course we have great ambitions for the upcoming season, but looking at
the fact that we have broke quite a few records during the last two years,
I would be arrogant to expect it to continue just like that. In all three
competitions we will do our best to achieve as much as possible.
Who would you say is the best player in the Dortmund squad?
SK: The team.
Who's got the best tricks in training?
SK: Obviously many players try tricks in training, which they wouldn t dare to
do in a match situation. Especially Mario GÖtze or Moritz Leitner often
like to try a few new tricks.
Which player at the club is the comedian who plays practical jokes?
SK: The whole team is a great mix of different characters. Though the younger
players are sometimes more open and easy-going than the more experienced
players in the team. But there are always jokes in the changing rooms, even
from players of which you wouldn t necessarily expect it.What can Manchester United fans expect from signing Kagawa?
SK: They really can be looking forward. He is a great player that was important
for us and played a really good season. I believe that through his way to
play football he has good chances to build his profile in England very
quickly. We will miss him.Is the Signal Iduna Park the greatest football stadium you've played in, as
the south stand, die SÜdtribÜne is certainly impressive?
SK: The SÜdtribÜne and also the stadium itself are incredible. It cannot be
compared to all the newer stadiums and with an audience of 83.000 people it
is just one of the kind. And we have best fans in Germany. I am already
looking forward to the new season.
What's the favourite goal you've scored?
SK: As I am not a real striker, there are more other moments that were
important for my career. Of course I remember a few nice ones, but I don t
have a favourite goal.Do you have ambitions left to fulfil in your career?SK: Most importantly I hope to stay fit and healthy. Being a professional
footballer is probably one of the best jobs in the world and as long as I
stay fit, I enjoy it a lot to play for a great club with amazing fans that
still give me goosebumps whenever I walk out onto the pitch.Would you consider a move to the MLS?SK: The idea to move to America became more and more popular and it also sounds
attractive to me. Many German players made that move and who knows, maybe
an opportunity pops up for me as well. SoccerBible was speaking to Sebastian Kehl at the launch event for the new BVB 2012/13 football kits, and don't forget to leave your opinions on Sebastian, Dortmund and PUMA online, on Twitter and on Facebook.

SK: As I am not a real striker, there are more other moments that were important for my career. Of course I remember a few nice ones, but I don t have a favourite goal.
Do you have ambitions left to fulfil in your career?
SK: Most importantly I hope to stay fit and healthy. Being a professional footballer is probably one of the best jobs in the world and as long as I stay fit, I enjoy it a lot to play for a great club with amazing fans that still give me goosebumps whenever I walk out onto the pitch.
Would you consider a move to the MLS?
SK: The idea to move to America became more and more popular and it also sounds attractive to me. Many German players made that move and who knows, maybe an opportunity pops up for me as well.

Borussia Dortmund veteran Sebastian Kehl is hoping for one final trophy in the DFB-Pokal final before he retires.
The 35-year-old announced in March 2014 that he would retire this summer and Dortmund will be hoping to send the German off with one final trophy in their last game of the season.
Dortmund face Wolfsburg in the final of Germany's most prestigious cup competition on May 30 at Olympiastadion Berlin.
'I've always wanted to go out on a high level,' saidKehl at a press conference.
'It's great. You can't write a better script, with a final in Berlin and possibly a trophy in my hands.
'When I made the decision, it wasn't clear how the year would pan out and I was wondering whether it was the retirement I'd like.
'It's the right time to stop. There's only a few days until I enter the stadium for the last time. It will be emotional.'
The defensive midfielder has spent 13 years at the club, making more than 250 appearances since his arrival from Freiburg in 2002.
Kehl was part of the Bundesliga-winning teams of 2002, 2011 and the club's league and cup double in 2012.
The German has also enjoyed a successful career with his national side earning 31 caps, with his last performance coming in the 2006 World Cup held in his own country.

By almost any standard, this season has been a total disappointment for Borussia Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben first crashed out of the Champions League group stage in the fall, despite drawing an easy group. They then crashed out of the DFB Pokal in January, and then the Europa League, despite being the best team remaining, at least on paper, in both competitions. They clung onto the faint hope of a title chase for a few months before that, too, vanished in the shadow of yet another defeat against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. The only saving grace is that BVB managed to club enough Bundesliga opponents to scrape together a respectable second place finish— helped, in fairness, by the lack of a consistent third place challenger.
Normally, in the wake of unsuccessful seasons such as this, I would be looking forward to a break from Borussia Dortmund... but I’m not. This season hasn’t even ended yet, and I’m already over the moon with excitement looking forward to next season, and it’s all because of one man.
No, not Nico Schlotterbeck... although he is awesome. It’s Sebastian Kehl, BVB’s multi-title-winning midfielder, current Director of Player Licensing, and incoming Sporting Director debutant. Although still nominally subservient to Michael Zorc, Kehl has been the de facto man in charge for a few months, and he has been widely involved in many of BVB’s transfers, including Nico Schlotterbeck.
So far, Dortmund have confirmed two signings (Süle and Schlotterbeck) and are on the verge of a third (Adeyemi) and potentially a fourth (Bensebaini). Not only has Kehl made quick work of improving upon a key weakness in the squad, but he’s signed two proven, first-team players in their primes, both of whom would make almost any squad in Europe, for a combined €25 million in transfer fees. He managed to sign both despite competing with Bayern Munich and various premier league clubs.
Karim Adeyemi has potential to be an amazing signing, and he’s followed by a flurry of additional rumored signings, including Ramy Bensebaini, Hugo Ekitike, Adam Hlozek, David Raum, and Konrad Laimer. Even if only a handful of these transfers come to pass, the fact that BVB are pursuing them demonstrates two things:
Kehl recognizes the problems within the squad
Kehl isn’t afraid to spend big if the deal makes sense
Ask any BVB fan what the biggest weaknesses on the squad are, and they’d tell you: back line, central midfield and attacking depth. If BVB’s transfer wishlist is anything to go by, Sebastian Kehl is acutely aware of these flaws. He has already massively revamped the back line, and could further supplement BVB’s full back depth with Raum and Bensebaini. Konrad Laimer could be the defensive midfielder that BVB have desperately missed this season. Ekitike and/or Hlozek could complement Adeyemi and help replace Haaland’s offensive output. All these moves indicate that Kehl is dead set on fixing the problems that torpedoed this season for Dortmund.
Over the past few years, Michael Zorc has gained a reputation for pursuing low-risk signings of young talent. This hasn’t always been a bad thing. Jadon Sancho, Ousmane Dembélé, and Erling Haaland were all great for BVB, and the club was ultimately able to sell for a handsome profit. Unfortunately, the signings that Zorc made to supplement these young players often failed to work out. He’s tended to pick veteran players like Emre Can, Thomas Meunier, and Thorgan Hazard to support his youngsters. These guys haven’t all been bad per se, but many of them, like Nico Schulz and Julian Brandt, have been disappointing. None of these players, except for maybe Julian Brandt, were proven to be elite players at the Bundesliga level, at least not on the level of Süle and Schlotterbeck.
Furthermore, we’ve seen over the last few seasons that the club, having suffered from serious financial damage due to the COVID pandemic, has spent money sparingly, often choosing to fill gaps in the squad with free transfers (Meunier) and loan transfers (Pongracic, Reinier), few of which have turned out in the club’s favor.
So far, Sebastian Kehl’s moves indicate a willingness to spend money in a way we haven’t seen in years. While he signed Süle on a free transfer, his wage bill is nothing to scoff at. Meanwhile, BVB are acquiring Schlotterbeck for about €25 million, and will probably sign Adeyemi for around €35 million. If the rumors about Bensebaini are true, he would cost another €12-15 million. Ekitike would be a similar fee, Hlozek even more. Assuming most of these transfers go through, this could be the most lavish transfer window in the club’s history, and Marco Rose could potentially have an absolutely stacked lineup at his disposal.
All of this indicates something the club has lacked in years: direction. For the last few seasons, the club has gone through a rinse-and-repeat cycle of signing vibrant young stars only to sell them and use the funds from their sales to repeat the entire process again. This has kept the club competing in the Champions League, but it has also meant that there has been an almost constant state of turnover at the Westfalenstadion. Now, though, Kehl is forming a core that has the potential to last for years. Karim Adeyemi is reportedly going to sign a five-year contract with no release clause, Schlotterbeck is now also signed for five years, and Süle has signed on for four. BVB fans will no longer have to worry about constantly watching their key players waltz out the door. And despite all these signings having been completed, there’s no sign that Kehl has any intention of slowing down.
Does this mean that Borussia Dortmund will win the league next year? Of course not. This sport is unpredictable. But if the current trend continues, this will be the most promising single-season improvement in years, even when Erling Haaland leaves. With so many transfers wrapped up already, we’re left with nothing to do but sit and wait in fevered anticipation for the first day of next season, when the possibilities for glory will be virtually endless.

BERLIN, March 23 (Reuters) - Former Germany international Sebastian Kehl will retire in 2015 after signing a contract extension on Sunday that will keep him at Borussia Dortmund until the end of next season, he said on Sunday. The 34-year-old midfielder said he was happy to play another season and then end his career at the club he joined in 2001. "Borussia Dortmund, our great team, the fans and the city have been my home for years," Kehl said in a club statement. "That is why I decided to continue this connection but the decision is ripe in me that I will end my career in 2015. Hopefully I will enjoy with this team some more unforgettable moments and great success." Kehl, who has also played for Hanover 96 and Freiburg, has won three league titles with Dortmund - including the 2012 domestic league and Cup double. Dortmund also lost in the Champions League final last season to Bayern Munich. Kehl won 31 caps for Germany, playing in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups and scored three goals. Dortmund, who face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, are second in the Bundesliga and take on third-placed Schalke 04 in the Ruhr valley derby on Tuesday.

Borussia Dortmund take a 1-0 lead to Paris next week after Niclas Füllkrug secured an important win against Paris Saint-Germain at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday night.
A collective performance, it’s arguably Dortmund’s best football they’ve played all season. Compact defensively, pro-active in pressing the ball and quick in their transitions, it was a tactical masterclass from Edin Terzic. But they could yet rue missed chances after Füllkrug missed two chances after taking the lead.
With a 1-0 lead at the halfway stage, Dortmund already have one foot in the final but sporting director Sebastian Kehl has urged caution ahead of the second-leg next week.
“The 1-0 is a good starting point for the return match, but we know that things will be very heated next week. To survive in Paris, we need a good performance,” said Kehl.
Mats Hummels commens ‘mature’ performance
Borussia Dortmund’s win against Paris Saint-Germain now guarantees Champions League football for the team in fifth in the Bundesliga. With Die Schwarzgelben fifth with three games remaining, they can no longer be caught by Eintracht Frankfurt.
“We were very grown-up and very mature,” said Hummels.
“We are also happy that we have now qualified for the Champions League. We have covered up a poor Bundesliga season with a strong season in the Champions League

BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Germany international Sebastian Kehl will retire in 2015 after signing a contract extension on Sunday that will keep him at Borussia Dortmund until the end of next season, he said on Sunday. The 34-year-old midfielder said he was happy to play another season and then end his career at the club he joined in 2001. "Borussia Dortmund, our great team, the fans and the city have been my home for years," Kehl said in a club statement. "That is why I decided to continue this connection but the decision is ripe in me that I will end my career in 2015. Hopefully I will enjoy with this team some more unforgettable moments and great success." Kehl, who has also played for Hanover 96 and Freiburg, has won three league titles with Dortmund - including the 2012 domestic league and Cup double. Dortmund also lost in the Champions League final last season to Bayern Munich. Kehl won 31 caps for Germany, playing in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups and scored three goals. Dortmund, who face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, are second in the Bundesliga and take on third-placed Schalke 04 in the Ruhr valley derby on Tuesday.

|
Group A of the 2006 FIFA World Cup was one of eight groups in the opening round of the tournament. The group featured four teams, competition hosts Germany, Costa Rica, Poland and Ecuador. Play began on 9 June with the first game of the tournament between Germany and Costa Rica, with the former attaining a 4–2 victory in the highest scoring opening game in World Cup history since the competition introduced a single game opener. Later the same day, Poland and Ecuador faced each other, with Ecuador winning 2–0. On 14 June, Germany secured their second victory of the competition, defeating Poland 1–0 following Oliver Neuville's injury time goal. The following day, Ecuador defeated Costa Rica 3–0 to guarantee both they and Germany would advance to the round of 16.
The final set of matches was played on 20 June 2006. Germany and Ecuador contested the top place in the group, with the hosts winning 3–0. With both sides already eliminated, Poland defeated Costa Rica 2–1 to claim their only victory of the competition. Ecuador were eliminated in the following round by England while Germany reached the semi-finals before being defeated by eventual winners Italy. Germany finished third after beating Portugal in the third place playoff match.
Background
[edit]
Group A was the first of eight groups to start play at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The competition consisted of 32 competitors, split into eight groups of four teams. The sides would play each other on a round-robin basis with the top two teams in each group advancing to the round of 16.[1]
As hosts, three-time World Cup winners Germany qualified automatically for the tournament and were placed into Group A.[2] Manager Jürgen Klinsmann had been appointed in 2004, but due to qualifying as hosts, had yet to take charge of his side in a competitive fixture.[3] His team were considered one of the favourites to win the competition with bookmakers offering odds of around 13/2,[4] but had received criticism in the country, notably from Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeneß who had labelled the side "a disaster".[3] CONCACAF members Costa Rica endured a poor start to qualifying, narrowly avoiding an upset defeat against Cuba in the second qualifying round,[5] before appointing Alexandre Guimarães as manager midway through the stage. They qualified for the tournament after finishing third in their qualification round, reaching the finals for the third time in their history.[6] However, they were classed as rank outsiders to win the competition, with odds as high as 500/1 being offered.[4]
To provide an even number of teams for the playoff bracket, the two teams from the UEFA qualification groups who had finished second in their group with the best record automatically gained qualification to the World Cup. Poland, who finished second in UEFA qualification Group 6 behind England, were one of the teams who were eligible, along with Sweden.[7] Ecuador qualified after finishing in the third of four automatic qualification places in the CONMEBOL qualifying group behind Brazil and Argentina,[8][9] reaching the finals for only the second time. Similar to Costa Rica, Ecuador were given low odds of around 400/1.[10] In their preview of the tournament, The Guardian labelled Group A as the "weakest" in the competition.[11]

Germany vs Costa Rica
[edit]
The opening match of Group A, and the World Cup, was between hosts Germany and Costa Rica.[13] This was the first time the two sides had ever played each other in international football.[14] Germany captain Michael Ballack was forced to withdraw from the starting line-up after failing to overcome an injury and was replaced by Tim Borowski.[15] Defender Philipp Lahm gave Germany the lead after six minutes with a 30-yard curling shot from outside the penalty area that beat opposition goalkeeper José Porras and was described as "unstoppable" by the BBC.[13][15] In doing so, Lahm became the fourth German player to have opened the scoring at a World Cup. Germany had further long range efforts soon after, before Costa Rica's Paulo Wanchope, already his country's record goalscorer,[6] equalised after 12 minutes after breaching the German defence and finishing past goalkeeper Jens Lehmann. Wanchope's goal saw him become the first Costa Rican player to have scored in more than one World Cup and the second to have scored more than one World Cup goal after Rónald Gómez four years earlier.[13]
Germany regained their lead five minutes later when Miroslav Klose finished from Bernd Schneider's cross. Costa Rica's Danny Fonseca became the first player to be booked in the competition after 30 minutes and the midfielder missed a chance to equalise shortly after half-time, heading wide despite being unmarked.[13][15] Klose netted his second goal just after the hour-mark, putting in the rebound after his own header was parried by Porras. However, after 12 minutes Costa Rica again cut the deficit with Wanchope again scoring past Lehmann with a composed finish after receiving a cross from Walter Centeno, although the German players believed Wanchope was offside. The Germans sealed victory three minutes from time with Torsten Frings firing in a long-range shot that beat Porras in similar fashion to Lahm's goal.[13] The six goals scored during the match made it the highest-scoring opening game in World Cup history since the tournament began using the single opening match format.[16][17]

Poland vs Ecuador
[edit]
Poland and Ecuador had previously met once before their opening World Cup match, playing out a 1–1 draw during a friendly in November 2005.[20] The Poles pressed the attack for the opening 20 minutes of the match, but were unable to create any significant chances. 24 minutes in, Ecuador took the lead when Carlos Tenorio got ahead of Marcin Baszczyński to head in after teammate Agustín Delgado had nodded the ball towards him from a long throw.[21][22] Tenorio became only the third player to have scored a World Cup goal for Ecuador after Delgado and Édison Méndez. Buoyed by their goal, Ecuador took control of the game and had several chances before the end of the first half but failed to convert.[21] However, Poland had struggled to make an impression and Jon Brodkin of The Guardian noted that they had "forced not a single meaningful save" from the opposition goalkeeper.[22]
In the second half, Poland began pushing forward with Mirosław Szymkowiak creating several near chances, the best of which sent Jacek Krzynówek through before being called offside.[22] In the final third of the game, Poland were denied by the woodwork twice; first when Ireneusz Jeleń struck the crossbar with a shot and later when Paweł Brożek hit the post. Despite their attacking threat, it was Ecuador who were able to score when Iván Kaviedes broke through before laying the ball off for Delgado to give his side a 2–0 lead.[21] Delgado's goal made him his country's record World Cup goalscorer, which he would remain until being surpassed by Enner Valencia at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[23] This match was the fifth consecutive time that Poland had failed to score in their opening match at a World Cup finals.[21]

Germany vs Poland
[edit]
This was the 15th international meeting between Germany and Poland since 1933 and their third in World Cup competition, having previously met at both the 1974 and 1978 World Cup finals, with Germany having never lost to their opponents.[25] The Germans, with captain Ballack restored to the starting line-up in place of Borowski,[26] dominated play and had a number of chances in the first half, with both Klose and his strike partner Lukas Podolski failing to convert more than one chance each. Poland's best chance came early on when Maciej Żurawski sent a scuffed shot towards Lehmann which was easily gathered.[26][27]
During the second half Poland threatened with Jelen testing Lehmann early and Poland offered more attacking threat in the opening period. Germany also continued to push forward and forced Poland goalkeeper Artur Boruc into several saves, while both Klose and Ballack were denied by the frame of the goal during the same attack. With 15 minutes remaining, Polish midfielder Radosław Sobolewski was sent off for a second bookable offence after fouling Klose. In the last seconds of injury time, German substitutes David Odonkor and Oliver Neuville combined, the latter converting a cross from his teammate to secure a 1–0 victory, the first time Germany had ever won a World Cup game through an injury time goal.[27] The win marked the first time Germany had beaten another European nation at a major international competition since defeating the Czech Republic in the UEFA Euro 1996 final.[26]

Ecuador vs Costa Rica
[edit]
This was the ninth meeting between Ecuador and Costa Rica, but the first in a competitive fixture. Costa Rica had not beaten their opponents since the first meeting between the two in 1992 and defeat would eliminate them from the finals.[29][30] Ecuador manager Luis Fernando Suárez deliberately left his squad announcement until the latest time allowed, noting that he aimed to "not give any clues to our rivals". Costa Rica were forced to omit fullback Gilberto Martínez due to injury.[31] His side started brightly but Tenorio gave Ecuador an early lead, heading in from Antonio Valencia's cross after eight minutes for his second goal of the tournament. Costa Rica struggled to threaten their opponent's goal, registering their first shot on target after 39 minutes as Ecuador controlled possession.[32]
Nine minutes into the second half, Ecuador doubled their lead through Delgado's second goal of the competition. Receiving a pass from Kaviedes, Delgado chested the ball down before beating Porras at his near post. Spurred into action by the second goal, Costa Rica first forced a save from Cristian Mora before Alvaro Saborio hit the crossbar. However, Ecuador sealed victory when Kaviedes added a third goal with a volley in the 92nd minute. As a result of their victory, both Ecuador and Germany were guaranteed to advance while Poland and Costa Rica were eliminated. In only their second finals, Ecuador qualified from the group stage for the first time in their history and the result remains the nation's biggest victory at a World Cup finals.[30]

Ecuador vs Germany
[edit]
This was the first time that Ecuador and Germany had ever played each other.[34] Both teams had already qualified for the next round, with Ecuador ahead on goal difference ahead of the game. Germany fielded a full strength side, but were forced to deny the presence of a rift between strike partners Klose and Podolski after the former had criticised his teammate.[35][36] Ecuador instead chose to rest several first team players, including forwards Delgado and Tenorio and captain Iván Hurtado.[37] Klose gave Germany the lead after just four minutes, scoring from eight-yards after Bastian Schweinsteiger had capitalised on a failed clearance by the opposition defence to play in his teammate. His goal was the second fastest ever scored by a German player at a World Cup, coming one minute after Rüdiger Abramczik's record in 1978. Germany continued to press and had several chances, the best being Podolski racing through before being beaten to the ball by Mora. With the goalkeeper out of his penalty area, Ballack attempted to loop the ball over Mora from 40-yards but his attempt went wide of the goal.[36][38]
Klose added a second goal shortly before half-time; captain Ballack chipped the ball over the Ecuadorian defence, allowing Klose to round Mora in the opposition goal to score his fourth of the tournament. Early in the second half, Ecuador attempted to get back into the game, Edwin Tenorio forcing a save from Lehmann from 25-yards out.[36] Podolski scored his first World Cup goal following a swift counterattack. Schweinsteiger's pass allowed Bernd Schneider to cross from which Podolski scored. With a three goal lead, Germany made several substitutions to rest key players and saw out the game to finish top of the group, the fifth consecutive time that they had done so at the World Cup finals.[38]

Costa Rica vs Poland
[edit]
Poland and Costa Rica had previously met on two other occasions, both ending in victories for the Poles, but this was their first competitive fixture.[40] With both teams already eliminated, their final match was a dead rubber played in high temperatures. Poland held the majority of possession early on but Costa Rica took the lead after 25 minutes, Gomez scoring via a direct free-kick which went through the defensive wall and the legs of Boruc who was unable to react.[41][42] However, Poland equalised eight minutes later when Bartosz Bosacki scored his first international goal and his nation's first of the competition, volleying in off the crossbar from Żurawski's corner, the Poles' sixth of the game,[42] after Porras had failed to gather the ball. Bosacki added a second in the 66th minute, again from a corner, this time with a powerful header. Wanchope had a late goal ruled out for offside as the match eventually finished 2–1 to Poland. Referee Shamsul Maidin gave out 10 yellow cards during the game, the fourth highest in World Cup history at the time.[41]

Aftermath
[edit]
Germany finished top of the group with nine points having won all three of their group matches. They faced Sweden, the runners-up of Group B, in the round of 16, winning 2–0.[44] They went on to defeat Argentina in the quarter-finals on penalties before suffering defeat to Italy in the semi-finals. Germany finished third after defeating Portugal 3–1 in the third-place playoff.[45] As runners-up in the group with six points, Ecuador faced the winners of Group B, England, in the next round but were eliminated after a 1–0 defeat.[46] Poland would not return to the competition until the 2018 World Cup while Costa Rica failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup before returning for the 2014 tournament.[47][48]
Klose's four goals during the group stage contributed to him winning the Golden Boot as the competition's top goalscorer. He finished the World Cup with five in total,[49] the lowest tally needed to win the award since 1962.[50] His teammate Podolski went on to win the young player of the tournament award.[51]

Three-time Bundesliga winner and ex-Borussia Dortmund captain Sebastian Kehl will take over from long-term sporting director Michael Zorc as of the 2022/23 campaign.
Kehl made 362 appearances for Dortmund as a player and lifted the Bundesliga title in 2001/02, 2010/11 and 2011/12, having played a significant role in one of the club's most successful periods.
The 41-year-old also won the DFB Cup in 2012 and represented Germany 31 times, scoring twice for his country.
Now, Kehl will begin preparations to step into the formidable shoes of Zorc after signing a new contract as the famed sporting director's successor until 30 June 2025.
"I have felt very closely connected to this great club for almost 20 years now and am proud to be given the opportunity to shape the sporting future of Borussia Dortmund in a position of responsibility starting from 2022," said Kehl.
"As a sporting director, creating the conditions for BVB to continue being successful in the future is both a challenge and an obligation for me."
Zorc has been responsible for bringing some of the biggest names in Dortmund's history to the club and has spent the best part of 43 years at the Signal Iduna Park since joining the youth academy at 15.
He featured 463 times in black and yellow himself, and its under Zorc's tenure that the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa, and more recently Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho have all arrived in Dortmund.
"The working relationship between Sebastian Kehl and myself has been shaped by great trust from day one," added Zorc.
"Sebastian has become gradually involved in all the relevant fields of a sporting director. I greatly value his work. The fact that the management has now decided to make him my successor in the summer of 2022 is, in my view, a sensible and logical decision. I'm already looking forward to working together in my final year as BVB's sporting director."

DORTMUND: Mats Hummels is set to leave Borussia Dortmund as a free agent, the German club announced in a statement on Friday.
The 35-year old central defender made 508 appearances for Dortmund across two spells. His exit marks the end of an era for the Bundesliga club and the former German International's departure will also leave behind a huge void in the club.
The veteran defender, who joined Dortmund from Bayern on loan in 2008 before signing permanently the following year, has had a successful stint with the club.
The World Cup winner happened to be an integral member of Dortmund's title-winning sides in 2010 and 2011 as he played a key role in their success.
He also reached the Champions League final with Dortmund in 2012-13 and this year, when they lost to Real Madrid.
Hummels joined Bayern Munich in 2016 and following three trophy-laden years at the Allianz Arena he returned to Dortmund in 2019. He won the German Cup and the German Super Cup in his second spell at the club.
"It was a huge honour and joy for me to have played for BVB for so long and to have been part of the journey from 13th place in January 2008 to what Borussia Dortmund represents today," Hummels said in a statement.
"This club and its fans are something very special - and for me even more than that," he added.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Kehl, the sporting director of Borussia Dortmund, showered praises on the club legend for his immaculate performances over the years.
"With Mats we are no doubt losing an outstanding personality, maybe the last of its kind in football," Kehl said.
"During his career Mats did not only leave his mark on the club but also on the global game of central defenders, lifting it to a new level," he added.

Gero Breloer/Associated Press
Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that veteran midfielder and club captain Sebastian Kehl has agreed a one-year extension to his current contract.
Kehl has confirmed that he will retire once this deal expires, meaning he will finish his career at Dortmund after a remarkable 14 years with the club:
It’s clear that the midfielder has a special affinity with Dortmund, and after the news of the new deal was confirmed he spoke of his delight at signing on for another year, courtesy of Sandra Goldschmidt:
Kehl has seen plenty of highs and lows in his time at the club. He won the league title in 2002 and remains one of the only players still at the club from when they nearly went bankrupt back in 2005, per BBC News.
Stuart Franklin/Getty Images
He stayed loyal whilst many players moved on. When Jurgen Klopp arrived in 2008, he named Kehl club captain. The midfielder played a key role in Dortmund’s triumph in the 2010-11 Bundesliga season, and whilst Dortmund also won the league the season after, Kehl only featured on three occasions due to injury.
In truth, he’s been on the fringes of the first XI since, but Kehl has been a much more prominent figure in the Die Borussen’s team this season. Klopp’s side have had their season punctured by a host of injuries, and 34-year-old Kehl has filled in with distinction since the turn of the year despite his advancing age. He has made 12 starts in all competitions per WhoScored.com.
Martin Meissner/Associated Press
His performances this year have surely had an impact on the club’s decision to offer the him a new deal and he looks set for an emotional send-off at the end of the 2015 campaign.
Whilst this deal will have football romanticists purring, it will also give the club a lift as they fight for silverware this season. Dortmund have a crucial Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid approaching, and Kehl looks set to be part of the team that tries to halt the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Kehl will be certainly be hoping to get his hands on that trophy before he brings the curtain down on a marvellous career in 2015.

Italy scored two sensational late goals in extra-time to book their place in the World Cup final for the first time in 12 years with their 2-0 win crushing the dreams of host nation Germany in Dortmund on Tuesday.

Normal time had failed to produce a goal in the semi-final clash and it looked like penalties were on the cards deep into extra-time.
But Italian defender Fabio Grosso scored deep into extra-time with a brilliant curling effort and substitute Alessandro Del Piero added a second to break Germany's hearts.
Italy, who won the last of their three titles in 1982 beating West Germany 3-1, will face either France or Portugal in Sunday's final at Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
For Germany a third place play-off in Stuttgart on Saturday will be little consolation.
Germany had never lost in Dortmund but Italy produced their best display of the tournament to reach the final and give the football fans back home something to celebrate in the wake of Serie A's match-fixing scandal.
Germany manager Jürgen Klinsmann was forced to rejig his starting line-up after football's governing body FIFA suspended midfielder Torsten Frings for hitting Julio Cruz in the post match melee that followed the quarter-final win over Argentina.
Sebastian Kehl, playing on the ground where he plays for Borussia Dortmund, deputized for Frings.
Italy beat 12th man of formidable Dortmund crowd
With the bulk of the 65,000 fans jeering their every touch Italy may have been intimidated but they were far from it and their clever passing triangles caused untold problems.
On the quarter hour mark Italy had a great opening but Simone Perrotta's first touch failed to match the quality of Francesco Totti's pass and goalkeeper Jens Lehmann blocked his toe-poked shot.
Germany had a good chance of their own in the 33rd minute after Italy lost possession in midfield but Bernd Schneider fired his shot over the crossbar.
At half-time the score was 0-0 - in stark contrast to their last meeting in March when Italy led 3-0 in Florence at the interval. The score finished 4-1 to Italy that night but there was no chance of such a goals fest in this match.
Germany saved by post and crossbar before killer blows
A 0-0 stalemate meant extra-time - a first for Italy at these finals, but not for Germany who needed 120 minutes and penalties to defeat Argentina.
The opening of extra-time saw Italy twice hit the woodwork with Alberto Gilardino hitting the post and Gianluca Zambrotta rattled the crossbar seconds later.
It looked like penalties would decide the match but Grosso and Del Piero struck to shellshock Klinsmann and the home fans.

Today is the birthday of Thomas Muller ,one of the most extraordinary footballers of all time. A world cup and Champions league winner, the Bayern Munich and Germany legend is a one of kind footballer who thrives on sheer footballing IQ by exploiting space. He is not a striker or a winger or even a midfielder. In his own words, he is a "Raumdeuter" or interpreter of space. In a world where people look for core competencies and specializations, Muller is a misfit. His core competency is that he has none. Thomas Muller can't beat you with his dribbling, he can't beat you with his speed, he can't beat you with close ball control or physicality. He just beats you. Despite his huge success for both club and country, he remains the affable Bavarian boy. In an era where changing clubs is the norm, he has remained at Bayern Munich for the last 14 years. He is the quintessential team player and a great leader. His success is also a testament of the flexibility of his coaches who let him play freely without shackling him in one position thereby stifling his creativity. Roles are clearly defined in organizations for clarity ,efficiency and effectiveness. However, one may encounter talented people who cannot be assigned a definite role within the extant setup. They may seem to have no specific skillset but the whole would be greater than the sum of the parts. Rather than sideline them because it is difficult to fit them in a definite role, giving them a chance, even if means tweaking the system, may prove beneficial in the end. Wishing Thomas Muller more success in football and beyond. .May his tribe of magnificent misfits increase.. #ThomasMuller #flexibility #rolesandresponsibilities
🖤💛 Why Unity Makes Borussia Dortmund (and Your Company) Unstoppable 🖤💛 As a die-hard Borussia Dortmund fan, I've witnessed firsthand how the team's unity can turn the tide of even the toughest matches. But beyond the football pitch, there's a valuable lesson to be learned about the power of unity within any organization. When Dortmund gets on a roll, they become an unstoppable force. It's not just about individual talent; it's about the cohesion of the team, the synchronicity of every player working towards a common goal. Take, for instance, their recent triumphs in the Champions League. Despite stumbling in the first legs against formidable opponents, they rallied, fueled by the unwavering support of their fans and a deep-seated sense of togetherness. This unity isn't just about chemistry; it's about trust, communication, and a shared commitment to excellence. Dortmund has shown that when every player knows their role and supports each other both on and off the field, they can overcome any obstacle. It's this sense of camaraderie that enables them to capitalize on even the smallest opportunities and emerge victorious. The parallels between Dortmund's success and the dynamics of a thriving company are striking. Just as a football team must work together seamlessly to achieve victory, a company must foster a culture of unity to reach its full potential. When employees feel connected, valued, and aligned with the company's mission, they become more engaged, innovative, and resilient in the face of challenges. So, whether you're cheering on Borussia Dortmund or leading a team in the boardroom, remember the power of unity. It's not just a buzzword; it's the secret ingredient to achieving greatness. Let's harness the spirit of Dortmund and build something extraordinary together. #bvb #unity #communication

His football intelligence was unparalleled. Beckenbauer could read the game, anticipate opponents' moves, and strategically position himself—a testament to his deep understanding of football dynamics. The legacy of "Der Kaiser" extends beyond his playing days. Achieving success as both a player and a manager, he secured victories in the 1990 FIFA World Cup as a manager, completing a remarkable double. Today, we remember Franz Beckenbauer not just for his extensive list of achievements but for the enduring impact he had on the sport we all love. His contributions to football will forever be etched in history. What we can learn from him... 1)Versatility: Develop a broad skill set to adapt to different challenges and situations. 2)Leadership: Embrace leadership opportunities, inspiring and guiding others toward common goals. 3)Technical Excellence: Strive for excellence in your chosen field, continuously improving and mastering your skills. 4)Adaptability: Be adaptable in the face of change, demonstrating flexibility and resilience.

Rest in peace, legend. ⚽🙏 #FranzBeckenbauer #FootballLegend
Yesterday I wondered once more: "Why am I a football fan and, of all teams, a member of VfL Bochum, a team that usually fights to avoid relegation?" Maybe it goes back to when I was 8 years old, won second place in a drawing competition, and got to walk onto the pitch with captain Darius Wosz at a game against Bayern Munich in front of 45 thousand people... Yesterday, I experienced another unforgettable moment. After a 0-3 home loss to Fortuna Düsseldorf, the odds were against us. Everything was set up in Düsseldorf for a huge party, Campino, lead singer of die Toten Hosen and a huge Düsseldorf fan himself said prior to the game that "it feels like Christmas and Easter on one day". But Bochum did the impossible: equalizing in the second leg, going into extra time, and finally winning in a penalty shootout - one of the biggest comebacks in German professional football history. Our goalkeeper Andreas Luthe ended his career as a hero. Chatting with colleagues over lunch today, I realized just how excited I still was by what happened. The game really showed how important mental strength and coaching are. These qualities matter just as much in the business world. There is certainly many more important things in this world than football. And yet, a sport like this connects and provides joy to so many people in such a unique way. This passion and dedication are mirrored in our professional challenges. Mental fitness and coaching can turn seemingly impossible situations into successes. Here's to extraordinary comebacks and believers 🤍 💙 ..! photo credit: Reuters #coaching #mentalfitness #comeback #vflbochum VfL Bochum 1848 GmbH & Co. KGaA

Players from United Soccer League (USL) in Germany! Over the years I transferred many dozen of players from Major League Soccer, United Soccer League (USL) or Canadian Premier League to Germany. In DFB we have the three federal pro leagues: Bundesliga 1, 2 and 3. Liga (~56 teams) and five leagues in 4th tier/division Regionalliga Südwest, West, Nord, North-East and Bavaria (~90 teams). Within all of those levels from Bundesliga down to Regionalliga (most U23/21 teams of the top teams play there) I signed and/or transferred many North American players. If a player or club approaches me about a move to Germany we do our research about the player and then (like it or not 😉) tell them our honest opinion. Important for a successful career or transfer is to find the right environment for the player. With environment I mean the level, the setup of the club, the team, the technical staff, our experience with the interested clubs, the mind set of the player, his goals, the goals of the club, the chances/opportunities, etc. etc.etc… A lot of people in pro soccer not really knowing the German pro market react to our assessments with something like this: „…but he/I can play on a higher level…“. We then explain how important a (good/impressive) start is for any international coming first time to Germany and especially if the plan of the player or „selling“ club in North America is a longer career/higher „revenue“ (i.e. participation on future transfers, etc.) in the UEFA /DFB pro world. A lot of clubs / players just focus on getting to Europe, making a/any transfer fee, etc. but do not see the opportunities, risks, downsides, etc. if a wrong /risky decision is made. The publishing /articles of clubs making a transfer (fee) to Europe is often euphoric when it happens and we understand that, but don’t forget about year two, three, four, etc. We established a data base about United Soccer League (USL), Major League Soccer or Canadian Premier League Players who signed or got transferred to Germany to see if and how their career progressed. I am sure pro leagues or clubs in North America also track their transfers/“sales” to Europe to see if they made the right decision, worked with the right people, clubs, etc. and what could have been better and (!) how their / his decision influenced the career of their/the player…. To round up my small post (“Players from United Soccer League (USL) in Germany!”) I just read an article about the German club Greifswalder FC (Toni Kroos & Felix Kroos started their career at this club) and I happend to sign two players from United Soccer League (USL) with Greifswalder FC and David Wagner and Lars Fuchs. https://lnkd.in/ezS4Cu_n
Shattering Stereotypes: The Evolution of Japanese Footballers in European Soccer In the not-so-distant past, Japanese football players were considered an anomaly in European soccer circles. They were often brushed aside due to their perceived lack of stature and physical prowess needed to thrive in the highly competitive leagues of the continent. However, the passage of time has witnessed a remarkable transformation in the perception of Japanese footballers, as they have not only dispelled these stereotypes but also established themselves as integral components of European football. This paradigm shift underscores the unfounded nature of earlier stereotypes. A cadre of Japanese players deserves recognition for spearheading this transformation and altering the narrative surrounding the suitability of their compatriots for European football. Pioneers such as Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura, Junichi Inamoto, and Shinji Ono paved the way for future generations, contributing significantly to this monumental change. Presently, the presence of Japanese players in European football is more conspicuous than ever before. They have dispersed across various European countries, representing a plethora of clubs. Distinguished clubs such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Lazio, Sporting CP, Feyenoord, Brighton, Monaco, Real Sociedad, Eintracht Frankfurt, Club Brugge, Celtic, Borussia Mönchengladbach, AZ Alkmaar, Stade Reims, Stuttgart, Freiburg, Standard Liège, Toulouse, Gent, Bochum, Dinamo Zagreb, Sparta Rotterdam, Grasshopper, Augsburg, Union SG, Schalke, Brøndby, and Hearts have enthusiastically embraced Japanese talent. What is particularly noteworthy is that it's not just the established players who are making waves. Young Japanese talents are now leaving their mark in the reserves or academies of prestigious clubs. The likes of Pipi Nakai (Real Madrid), Niko Takahashi (Barcelona), Leo Kokubo (Benfica), and Taichi Fukui (Bayern) serve as testament to the burgeoning reservoir of Japanese potential. Soccer clubs are more interconnected than ever before, enabling them to identify and recruit talent from all corners of the globe, including Japan. Furthermore, credit is due to the A League, Japan's premier football division. Its open system, which incorporates relegation and promotion, has injected a competitive edge into Japanese football. This not only prepares players for the challenges of European football but also elevates the overall standard of training and development. It’s also great to have watch. The evolution of Japanese players in European football serves as a compelling example of how stereotypes can be dismantled through a combination of talent, determination, and opportunity. The presence of Japanese players in top European leagues is no longer an anomaly but rather a testament to the global character of the beautiful game and the boundless potential of athletes from diverse backgrounds 🇯🇵 ❤️⚽️
From Neverkusen to the Invincibles: Leverkusen's historic quest for a perfect season As Bayer 04 Leverkusen approaches the end of an unprecedented season, CEO Fernando Carro de Prada's strategic influence is profoundly evident. Leverkusen stands on the brink of becoming the first team in modern European football to finish an entire season undefeated in all competitions. Under the guidance of former industrial engineer Carro, and the tactical acumen of manager Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen's transformation from "Neverkusen" to "The Invincibles" is nothing short of remarkable. 1: How has Fernando Carro contributed to Leverkusen's success? Fernando Carro has brought a corporate-driven ethos to the club, leveraging his extensive management experience to enhance its competitiveness. His leadership is marked by a push for higher standards and strategic shifts at key positions within the club. 2: What has been the impact of manager Xabi Alonso on the team? Xabi Alonso, in his first managerial role, has been pivotal in Leverkusen's outstanding performance. His clear tactical plans and adaptability have turned the team's fortunes around, from battling relegation concerns to chasing historical success. 3: How does Bayer AG’s ownership influence Leverkusen? Owned entirely by Bayer AG, Leverkusen benefits from the financial and structural support of the pharmaceutical giant, which has been crucial, especially during financially turbulent times. However, this relationship has also attracted scrutiny and criticism regarding the fairness of corporate ownership in football. 4: What are Leverkusen’s future ambitions under Carro's leadership? Looking ahead, Carro aims to solidify Leverkusen's status among Europe's top clubs and leverage their success to boost the Bayer brand globally. Sustainable growth, international expansion, and social responsibility remain key facets of their strategy. #SportsBusiness #Football #SportsBiz #Finance #People #Data #Intelligence
🔎 ⬇ ⭐ FLORIAN WIRTZ: A FREE SOUL CONDUCTING THE ASPIRIN ORCHESTRA. Today, following my Leverkusen series of posts, I will focus my attention on one of the players in vogue within European football. This 23-24 season, Florian Wirtz is finally submitting his candidacy to become one of the best players in Europe. He has always been a very promising footballer. He had also the pressure of holding Die Mannschaft hopes on his shoulders since Germany started collecting disappointments in international tournaments. However, this season, under Xabi Alonso’s management, he has definitely exploded, increasing exponentially his game impact. With him and Jamal Musiala in their top game, Euro hosts are letting the imagination flow, dreaming about Die Mannschaft going back to the position they should never have abandoned. And what a better way than doing it on your own home... Below you can see a video with an in-depth analysis. Before, let me highlight a few bullet points: 1️⃣ Main Influence Area: In between opposition lines (pockets). 2️⃣ Role: Creator (high tactical IQ to read the game and decide accordingly). 3️⃣ Total freedom when in possession: He starts from the left offensive half-space, but he really has no position. HE IS LIQUID, flowing free around the pockets while disorganizing both his team’s and opposition's structures. His interventions give coherence to the own chaos while penalizing opposition’s disorder. 4️⃣ Technical Excellence: Possesses an exquisite technical capacity to play in reduced spaces: body shape and orientation, first touch, dominance of both legs, accurate ball mastery… Check this out and share your thoughts! 📹 ⚽ ⬇ #football #bayer04 #leverkusen #bundesliga #performanceanalysis #teamsuccess #footballanalysis #wirtz
⚽️⚽️⚽️A Big THANKS to the German Soccer TEAM⚽️⚽️⚽️ I am Celebrating the Leadership and Resilience: My Lessons from the German Soccer Team In the heart-pounding 1:2 match against Spain in Euro 2024, our German soccer team showed us what true grit and unity look like. While the scoreboard didn't favour us this time, our team's courage and spirit were nothing short of extraordinary. I'm bursting with pride for our team and Coach Julian Nagelsmann's incredible leadership. He truly embodied George Kohlrieser's "Care to Dare" philosophy. Trust was the foundation of their journey, uniting players from diverse cultural backgrounds into a cohesive unit where only skills, motivation, trust and dedication matter. Their fighting spirit and bravery in taking risks were inspiring. The players ventured boldly, testing their limits because they knew their coach was a secure base. Failures were not feared but embraced as stepping stones for growth and learning, leading to impactful changes and strategies. Every moment was filled with the spirit of willingness to perform and unwavering belief. Though we didn't clinch the top spot, we lost to another great champion, and that is something to honour. After a period of reflection, grieving and healing, we'll rise, ready to face the next big challenge: the Soccer World Cup 2026, with even greater determination. Germany has so much to learn from our soccer team's resilience and leadership. Let's celebrate our journey, cherish these lessons, and eagerly look forward to future triumphs! #Leadership #CareToDare #GermanSoccer #Euro2024 #Resilience #TeamSpirit #TrustAndRisk #ProudMoment #FutureChampions

It's a problem and a problem Arteta didn't need, but now it's a big challenge for Arsenal to rebuild their attack and it is going to depend on some very clever and inspired recruitment. What the manager said… West Ham manager David Moyes: I was really pleased with the way the players played. We will analyse the game and I will talk to the players then. O'Hara: Disgraceful Spurs performance Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara on Sky Sports News: I can't believe what's just happened. Should they get through, City will face the winner of Chelsea-Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Liverpool are in the other half of the draw and are favourites to progress on Tuesday, As tempting as it to give the award to Nico Williams, he was only on the pitch for a whole 20 minutes. So, it's his brother Inaki who receives the prize. He was excellent also, leading the front line, helping his side build attacks, and his game only improved when his younger sibling was introduced.

Writing in the Evening Standard, Kretinsky outlined some of the key aims he wants to accomplish at the club and stressed his focus on long-term building rather than expensive quick fixes. Liverpool were camped in West Ham's defensive third for the remainder of the first half, although the hosts left little room for manoeuvre, reducing Liverpool to half-chances. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Southampton's James Ward-Prowse is the best free-kick taker in the world. At 32 years of age, Shinji Kagawa is without a club.

From Hummels to Haaland, Borussia Dortmund have made some very successful January transfer window signings. Here is a list of the best.

Borussia Dortmund
|
https://www.borussiadortmund.co.uk/features/top-10-bvb-january-signings/
|
The January transfer window provides clubs with the chance to reassess and reinforce their squads at the halfway stage of the season.
Players recruited in the winter window can often be the perfect additions to propel a club’s season in the right direction.
Sometimes that one player can transform a team’s entire campaign.
Borussia Dortmund have had such luck in the past with some of their January signings.
In this current window, the club delved into the English market.
Chelsea’s Ian Maatsen joined BVB on loan, alongside returning ‘Borusse’ hero Jadon Sancho from Manchester United.
Both players have impressed in their opening appearances.
Last year’s window saw Julian Ryerson and Julien Duranville arrive.
While the jury remains out on how they are regarded by the Yellow Wall, it doesn’t appear that they’ll follow the fates of some of the Black and Yellows’ failed January recruits, such as Leonardo Balerdi and Alexander Isak.
Instead, they will be hoping that their Dortmund careers will pan out in a similar fashion to those of the following list:
Manuel Akanji
In January 2018, a 22-year-old Manuel Akanji joined ‘die Schwarzgelben’ as one of Europe’s most promising young defenders.
Arriving from Basel for a reported €21.5m, the Switzerland international went on to play over 150 times for the club.
While injuries and form throughout his last year at Signal Iduna Park tarnished his legacy somewhat, it can’t be denied that Akanji was a great servant to the club and an ever-present.
Since moving on to Manchester City in 2022, the 28-year-old has only further proved his quality, as a dependable defender in Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning squad.
Mats Hummels
The love triangle involving Mats Hummels, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich has been a hot topic in many Bundesliga transfer windows.
But it was an 18-month loan move to North Rhine-Westphalia in January 2008 when Hummels first saw where his heart truly belonged.
The German’s form throughout that initial spell saw Jürgen Klopp make the move permanent.
In Klopp’s golden era squad, Hummels was a stalwart at the back. He is continuing to show his class at 35 years old to this day, where he ranks second in BVB’s all-time appearance rankings with 491 to his name.
Emre Can
Like Hummels, Emre Can joined ‘die Borussen’ initially on loan in January before making the move permanent in the summer.
The German arrived from Juventus in 2020 and soon established himself as a true leader in the dressing room and a valuable squad member.
Carrying Bundesliga experience from spells with Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen, Can’s €25m move appears shrewd business with the 30-year-old having been named club captain last summer.
Jens Lehmann
Controversially, former Schalke 04 and AC Milan goalkeeper Jens Lehmann joined the Black and Yellows in January 1999.
The German played 179 times for Dortmund, helping the club to a Bundesliga title and UEFA Cup final in 2002.
He went on to be a part of the famous ‘Invincibles’ side with Arsenal two years later, cementing his status as one of the game’s greatest ‘keepers.
Tomas Rosicky
In January 2001, ‘die Schwarzgelben’ broke the Bundesliga transfer record to bring in Sparta Prague’s Tomas Rosicky.
Nicknamed ‘Little Mozart’, the Czech Republic international played 189 times in black and yellow, scoring 24 times while setting up 47 goals.
The playmaker was a key part in the club’s 2002 title-winning side.
Rosicky enjoyed a fruitful five and a half year stay at Signal Iduna Park before moving on to Arsenal in 2006, where he would spend the next decade.
https://twitter.com/ChampionsLeague/status/1180040081119293440
Sebastian Kehl
A year after Rosicky became a ‘Borusse’, Sebastian Kehl arrived at Borussia Dortmund, signing for a little over €3m from Freiburg.
The defensive midfielder made just 12 appearances before he was crowned a German champion after just five months at the club.
Kehl’s role in the BVB squad only grew more significant as time went by; he would play 39 times in the club’s double-winning 2011/12 campaign, and nine times on the way to the 2013 Champions League final.
Club captain for six years during that golden era, the current director of football left in 2015 after 362 appearances.
Erling Haaland
Perhaps the most famous January signing for Dortmund in recent times, Erling Haaland arrived in 2020 with the world at his feet.
Having garnered a worldwide wonderkid reputation in little time at RB Salzburg, the then 19-year-old was a freak of nature.
Given the way he started his time at Signal Iduna Park, it was no secret why.
A debut hat-trick against Augsburg was followed by consecutive braces against Cologne and Union Berlin.
This was the most prolific goalscoring form any Bundesliga newbie had produced, with Haaland breaking record after record.
The Norwegian’s eventual tally of 86 goals and 23 assists in 89 games made the €20m fee paid in January 2020 look like a huge bargain.
He has gone on to achieve even more at Manchester City.
Matthias Sammer
One of Borussia Dortmund’s all-time greats was a January signing.
Matthias Sammer arrived in January 1993 from Inter Milan and the five years that followed were nothing short of exceptional.
After scoring 10 times from defensive midfield in just his first half-season at the club, Sammer went on to be *the* key man in Ottmar Hitzfeld’s famous BVB side.
Operating in a sweeper or ‘libero’ role, the German helped the club to successive Bundesliga titles in 1995 and 1996, before captaining ‘die Schwarzgelben’ to their first, and only (to date), Champions League crown in 1997.
In those league-winning years, Sammer was named Footballer of the Year in Germany in each, while his 1996 European Championships triumph with the national team also helped him to the Ballon d’Or.
After retiring early, he even went on to manage the club; he was in charge when Dortmund were crowned champions in 2002.
Suffice to say, BVB have had their fair share of success in the winter window.

With less than two months to go for the Under-17 World Cup in India, the excitement in the country hosting its first ever FIFA tournament continues to grow.
A total of 24 teams from around the globe will descend in India to take part in the famous competition which has thrown up legendary names galore over the years.
The tournament was the brainchild of the then FIFA secretary-general, Joe Blatter, who was inspired by the famous Lion City Cup for Under-16 boys started by the Football Association of Singapore. The global event was named as the FIFA Under-16 World Championship before being renamed to it's current version in 2007.

|
Sebastian Kehl has given his stamp of approval to new Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus, whilst backing Mario Götze to rediscover his best form in the season ahead.
Having represented Dortmund from 2002 until his retirement in 2015, Kehl played alongside both Reus and Götze during the latter part of his career. Earlier in the summer, the 38-year-old returned to the club as head of licensed player division.
Reus, who has made over 200 appearances for his hometown club, takes over the armband from left-back Marcel Schmelzer. He was let go by Dortmund at 17, but returned in 2012 after enjoying three fruitful years at Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 29-year-old is embarking on his 10th season of Bundesliga football, despite being blighted by a series of career-threatening injuries.
"Marco is growing into a new role, and I'll be supporting him all the way," said Kehl. "We'll be working very closely together and we'll be in touch a lot. As a captain you have to go through difficult times and have the bigger picture in mind. Marco is the ideal captain because, as a player and a person, he's an absolute role model. He lives the club - and he can make the difference on the pitch."
Götze is another Dortmund player set for a pivotal campaign. The 26-year-old was left out of Germany's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad after battling form, fitness and a metabolic disorder, but has featured prominently under new head coach Lucien Favre during pre-season. Kehl, for one, believes the five-time Bundesliga champion is nearing his former world-beating self.
"Mario has a very important season ahead of him and he has big plans," said Kehl, who captained a team containing Götze to back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2011 and 2012. "After the first few weeks of training, I'm confident that we'll see the Mario Götze who dazzled BVB and the fans so often in the past, on a regular basis."

There have been reports of a change in the atmosphere inside Dortmund's dressing room with the arrival of Marco Rose, who is instilling a more attacking set-up in the team. There appears to be a sense of positivity at the German club that perhaps, they can, this season, beat the unbeatables.
During a media call on DFL Supercup Virtual Visit Day 1, Dortmund legend Sebastian Kehl, who is set to take over from Michael Zorc as the club's Sporting Director from the 2022/23 season, opened up on how Dortmund are working towards challenging the German giants.
“Borussia Dortmund is a very ambitious club. You could see it in the last few years, we have always been ready - we always win titles. Even in the last season, when we had some difficulties, when we had to manage some problems, we were able to win a title at end of the season. This is definitely our goal of the season,” Kehl replied to a question posed by Hindustan Times.
Dortmund will face off against Bayern in the DFL Super Cup match on Wednesday next week, and Kehl, who made 362 appearances for Dortmund as a player and lifted the Bundesliga title in 2001/02, 2010/11 and 2011/12, said that BVB are eyeing their first trophy of the season next week.
"On Tuesdays, it is our first title match - but there are more titles coming as the season progresses. It is a tough situation in Germany - Bayern has a special role in the Bundesliga - they have won the title nine times in a row. They are perhaps the favourites in the Bundesliga - but I think we are ready.
“We have a good team - we have a new coach. We have not had to sell any players - that means we will be strong,” he said.
"Bayern and Leipzig also have good teams - they changed the managers as well. A lot of managers changed in this season from the top teams. But I think we are still at least the no. 2 club in Germany. And we want to challenge Bayern Munich. We want to use the situation in the mark at the moment and play an extraordinary season.
“But to talk about is one thing - we have to do it. We have to work on it - what we did in the last few weeks, in the pre-season was really good. We had a really, really good pre-season. You can see it in the matches our style of football has changed a bit. In some ways, we need to be patient. We have to work hard - to reach our goals. I am convinced we are better than Leipzig, and if we are constant on the level we can play, with this team everything is possible,” he further added.
While Kehl said that Borussia Dortmund have not sold any player this season, attacking midfielder Jadon Sancho has left the German club this season to join the ranks of Manchester United. On being pointed out the same during the call, Kehl explained that it was a different situation with Sancho, as the club had already agreed over his transfer a few months ago.
“We sold Jadon we had a special agreement with him last season. We talked about it -- his wish was to move on and go to Manchester United, and at that point we had to follow the agreement," Kehl said.
“We lost a very good player, who was not only scoring but also making assists. He was making difference in every game -- especially in the last few games - he was great for us. Jadon was great, but we know it from the past - some players move on. But this will not be an excuse for us,” Kehl added.
On being asked about Erling Haaland possibly moving to a new club this summer, Kehl said that the Norweigian is committed to staying at Dortmund. “He is not going anywhere,” he said with a smile.

DORTMUND, Germany â Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reusâ injury is not as bad as initially feared, meaning he should still feature at the World Cup for Germany.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said Sunday the player âwill be out for three to four weeks and will then hopefully be available for us again.â
Germany coach Hansi Flick included Reus in his squad for upcoming international games against Hungary and England and was counting on the attacking midfielder as a key member of his World Cup squad.
The World Cup starts in Qatar on Nov. 20. Germany plays Japan in Doha three days later. Spain and Costa Rica are also in the group.
The 33-year-old Reus was taken off on a stretcher in the first half of Dortmundâs Ruhr derby win against Schalke on Saturday with what looked like a serious ankle injury. Reus was in tears after bending his right ankle awkwardly in a challenge for the ball.
âIt was a shock for us yesterday when we saw the pictures,â Kehl said. âI can give a little good news today. The tests we carried out on Saturday didnât show any break. Itâs a ligament injury in the ankle.â
Reus missed Germanyâs World Cup win in 2014 with an ankle injury sustained in a warm-up game, and a groin injury ruled him out of the 2016 European Championship. He played in Germanyâs unsuccessful World Cup defense in 2018 but skipped the next European Championship to recover after his season with Dortmund.
He has scored 15 goals in 48 games for Germany.
Dortmundâs next game is against Cologne on Oct. 1.

Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo had to stretch in the 20th minute to tip a Sebastian Kehl shot over the crossbar and five minutes later lunged to stop a blazing, curling free kick from Lukas Podolski.
Germany's Oliver Kahn was tested in the 15th minute when Pauleta found space on the left but the goalkeeper, inserted into the line-up for Jens Lehmann, made a superb block.
Both teams made several changes. Most were due to injury and expected but Portugal captain Luis Figo was surprisingly left on the bench by coach Luiz Felipe Scolari. His place was taken by Simao Sabrosa, who played alongside Pauleta up front.

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is known for speaking his mind and at the moment, he appears frustrated.
A rump BVB squad, which includes U23s and U19s, touched down for their good will tour of Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. They notched up a 7-2 win against Lion City Sailors on Thursday and play Johor Southern Tigers on Monday.
Currently sixth and nine points behind Bayern Munich, Watzke expressed to Ruhr24 his frustration: “Of course we want to win the title, but this season the cracks have set in pretty early and not just because of the diagnosis that has beset Sébastien Haller.”
BVB fans want success, but it’s been 10 years since the last title. For this season, Watzke has limited expectations: “The way the team are playing right now, second-place would be a huge achievement, I would even be happy with a Champions League place, but even that right now will be hard for us this season.”
But Watzke is confident he knows what is needed.
Sven Mislintat is not an unknown in Dortmund. In an 11-year career at BVB between 2006 and 2017, the 50-year-old gained a reputation for finding players like Shinji Kagawa, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele, top performers and earners of substantial transfer fees. At the club, he earned a reputation as one of football’s best scouts.
Mislintat made his mark but in 2017, he walked. A dispute with then coach Thomas Tuchel escalated, the former scout was banned from the training ground. BVB’s loss was Arsenal’s gain.
In 2019, Mislintat took on the role of sporting director at Stuttgart, the signings of Sasa Kalajdžić, Silas Mvumpa, Gregor Kobel and Wataru Endo followed. For the second season, Die Schwaben are in the relegation zone and without a permanent coach. Mislintat’s contract runs out in June and as Stuttgarter Nachrichten report, it’s believed that Mislintat is not in the club’s plans.
VfB loss could be BVB’s win
Ruhr24 report this week that a potential exit at Stuttgart leaves the door open for Mislintat to return to BVB but this time in a supporting role to sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
Kehl completed his UEFA A coaching badge following his 2015 retirement. Given the respect he earned as Dortmund’s captain, a position in the club’s hierarchy was always on the cards.
In 2018, Kehl was appointed head of professional football with a view to becoming Michael Zorc’s replacement. Fast forward to summer 2022; Zorc departed and Kehl stepped up.
But what did Kehl inherit?
Watzke called the role as head of professional football an “apprenticeship.” It would be fair to say that the last four years have inspired at times, but the 2021 DFB Pokal is not enough. Peter Bosz, Peter Stöger, Lucien Favre, Edin Terzić, Marco Rose and Terzić again have all coached Dortmund since 2018. Kehl has brought additional stability in the background as head of professional football but the club’s management is an unstable environment on the pitch.
But how has Kehl performed as sporting director? Transfer business under Kehl:
Niklas Süle: The 27-year-old arrived from Bayern Munich on a free transfer. The Rekordmeister wanted to move the 1.95m man on prior to signing Matthijs de Ligt. Neither Thomas Meunier nor Emre Can are a fit at centre-back. Süle is also versatile with the ability to cover at right-back but whether a salary of €15m is justified remains to be seen. He has featured in all but five games.
Nico Schlotterbeck: Very little needs to be said about Nico Schlotterbeck, who joined from Freiburg for €20m. A Germany international, he’s done what was needed of him. The 22-year-old is amongst the best in his position, establishing himself as one of Europe’s young defenders, and deserves his place in BVB’s backline and in Hansi Flick’s Germany squad. Always looking to advance the ball, Schlotterbeck is in the 99th percentile for progressive passes in comparison to other central-defenders across Europe’s top five leagues, per FBRef.
Salih Özcan: A signing from FC Köln at just €5m, he is undoubtedly, with Schlotterbeck, Kehl’s best piece of business. He’s an asset in a defensive-midfield, an area that BVB have struggled in following the departure of Thomas Delaney, and last season under Steffen Baumgart, Özcan developed into one of the Bundesliga’s best ball-winning midfielders. BVB tends to ‘crumble’ in the middle of the park, which puts unmanageable pressure on defence. Despite showing some ‘battle weariness’ in the last four weeks, in the majority of his 22 games across all competitions the Turkey international appears an excellent fit.
Karim Adeyemi: In terms of BVB transfers, €30m puts the recruit from RB Salzburg amongst the top five signings ever. The Germany international made an impression on his debut, scoring at 1860 Munich but then suffered a toe injury and was out for two months. He’s featured in 19 games for BVB and showcased his talent against Sevilla, scoring a beautiful goal, showing a small glimpse of the quality that helped him accumulate 19 goals in 21/22 with RB Salzburg.
Sébastien Haller: Dortmund’s most expensive ever signing has undergone a successful second operation after his cancer diagnosis and restarted training. Haller was Ajax’s leading scorer in 21/22 with 34 across all competitions. The Ivory Coast international is an unknown entity for BVB. The fans await his first game in Black and Yellow.
Anthony Modeste: A €5m emergency signing to cover for Haller, Modeste has scored two goals in 1,129 minutes and has mostly looked out of place, despite the Frenchman scoring 20 league goals for Köln last season. Modeste provides aerial dominance in the penalty area, averaging 2.97 headers won per 90.
Marcel Lotka: The Poland U21 goalkeeper arrived on a free after protracted negotiations from Hertha Berlin. When filling in for Rune Jarstein, he showed his immense talent, but he is competing with Germany U21 keeper Luca Unbehaun in the BVB’s U23s.
Alexander Meyer: The 31-year-old reserve keeper joined on a free from Jahn Regensburg, he looks competent if unspectacular.
And the players sold?
Manuel Akanji transferred to Manchester City for €17.5m. He’s only played eight games but looks inspired by the move. He had 12 months on his contract and had been unsettled, the fee is fair, but City can sell the Swiss international hence the long contract (until 2027).
Whether €1.5m for Steffen Tigges to FC Köln is a good transfer is not clear. Sadly like most U23s he struggled in the first team. His 12 Bundesliga appearances for Köln this season has resulted in three goals, ironically one against BVB.
Dan-Axel Zagadou struggled with injuries and his contract was not renewed, and BVB’s loss may be Stuttgart’s gain. Axel Witsel left at the end of his contract for Atletico Madrid. Roman Bürki left on a free to St Louis of the MLS. Ansgar Knauff has excelled on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt and is a player that BVB will want back for the wide areas.
The sale of Erling Haaland for €60m, because of a release clause in his contract, saw a disappointing net-return of €35m, but that can be attributed to Michael Zorc.
In addition, the loans of Marin Pongračić and Reinier Jesus ended and rightly so. Marcel Schmelzer’s retirement was expected.
So is Kehl the issue?
Since the departure of Zorc in the summer, the management has been in a state of upheaval. The club is still feeling the effect of the pandemic, is in debt and the team more often than not is misfiring on the pitch. Is Watzke’s frustration a surprise?
In terms of coaching there has been no stability in the last four years. No coach has been given sufficient time to develop his strategy. The transfers this summer, except for Modeste, have succeeded.
The backline is stable, Gregor Kobel is outstanding in goal, but BVB are not balanced, they don’t have the right players in defensive-midfield or the right-wing.
BVB also have a problem in attack. After 17 games last season they scored 41 goals, a stark contrast to the 25 they’ve notched up this season. Youssoufa Moukoko (18) has been the bright spark, scoring six of the eight goals that Dortmund’s forwards have scored this season but he’s in the final year of his contract. Donyell Malen is yet to live up to his €30m price tag with just one goal in 1,045 minutes this season but has the backing of Terzić after scoring a brace on BVB’s tour of Asia.
Jude Bellingham has nine goals in 22 games across all competitions this season and Julian Brandt has five in 21 games, the midfield duo alleviating some of the goalscoring pressure on Moukoko.
It’s clear that Kehl has his work cut out, so will he get the budget?
The answer is yes and no. If there is one thing Watzke learned from the 2005 brush with bankruptcy, it’s that BVB must be financially conservatively run. BVB have turned a profit in all but four seasons, two of which were in the pandemic. The answer is Kehl will have to make the money to spend it.
Would Sven Mislintat be an asset?
Markus Pilawa leaving for Bayern left a big hole to fill. But BVB’s strength is talent scouting and development. The trio of Laurent Busser, Eduard Graf and Sebastian Krug, that are now in place could benefit from Mislintat joining, but on the other hand it could result in another clash in terms of decision making.
One thing is guaranteed, as ever hawks are circling BVB’s talent. A sale, likely to be over €100m, of Jude Bellingham will make the club solvent. Mislintat could be the man to find a replacement.
Watzke confirmed to Ruhr Nachrichten this week that “for now there are no transfer plans for January” which leaves BVB in a quandary and unlikely to be a challenger.
Kehl though has done sound work and under difficult circumstances. Whilst Zorc’s legacy is a big one to follow, Kehl brings stability and vision. If given a budget he can put the club back on track.

On today's podcast our guest is Ed Aarons who is deputy Sports Editor at The Guardian newspaper and a Crystal Palace season ticket holder.
The long-awaited white paper on reform of the English game, a working document which was based on a consultation which took almost two years of fan groups, including the Dortmund Fan Club London, and a wide section of participants in the football industry including managing directors, club owners, journalists, former players, fans and supporters groups.
Among the key points the policy paper seeks to address, which we discuss on the podcast, are the following:
1. Financial sustainability: The introduction of a regulator will ensure closer monitoring and higher standards of reporting. Clubs will be required to ensure they have reserves and plans to ensure they can maintain the business in the instance of financial shocks.
2.Suitability of owners: Directors and club owners will be more closely vetted for propriety and there will be commensurate licensing conditions to ensure higher standards. This will also affect the over-gearing of buy-outs and unsustainable debt levels.
3. Fan engagement: Clubs will be required to consult with fans and there will be minimum standards of engagement including fans having a say, a veto over changes to historically important aspects of the club such as colours, badge and kit colours and geographic location.
4. Breakaway leagues: The white paper aims to protect the football pyramid in the English game and exclude 'closed shop' type leagues like the proposed 'European Super League'.
5. Financial distribution: The white paper aims to ensure a fairer distribution of income across the clubs in the English football pyramid and give power to the regulator to impose workable solutions on the clubs.
6. Compliance/sanctions: The regulator will have the power to take action including withdraw licences from clubs ignoring breaches of conditions of licensing.
The regulator will cover 116 clubs in the top five tiers: The Premier League, The Championship, League 1, League 2 and the National League of the English professional game.
A second part to the podcast series on the governance of German football will appear here shortly.
The football match to raise money for the DEC British Red Cross Earthquake Appeal 2023 which is mentioned takes place on Tuesday 7th March at 3pm at the Linford Christie Stadium, White City. There will also be a BVB and Chelsea raffle. All spectators are well.
