Since the 1st strike of the Training Ground that was the 1st time he really trying to. Achieve variation on a corner the hosts showing little sign of being intimidated by reputations but reputation is a dog merits and theyve already shown this season they can turn games around with all that quality at their disposal.

Wasnt down to love these were all well what goals and when your own was simply the best to start a 1st step up and just legal win for the underdogs and the 1st real sensation of the still young season on a history making evening in the early. Morning on court everyones attention and all eyes are now on the german capital compared to other european capitals berlin has always been a black hole when it comes to football brown explains whether that might change. Manchester madrid rome liverpool moscow milan istanbul london just about every major european city has at least a couple world famous soccer teams what about here in berlin. Despite being capital of football crazed germany bruins are known as being a bit of a soccer black hole better known for thumping techno and fine are going for sports which. Are the citys biggest tina yes they usually play in the bonus league but they struggle and theyve been the only top team in town for a long time berlin hasnt had 2 teams in the bundesliga since the 70. Mph on which a city with a lot of football but i dont think its a purple city heres her to legend and current manager mikhail played since response when i ask him to carolyn its a Football City. But. It could be better of course but that looks at the change of this seriously as now the newly promoted known berlin from the east and heritage in the west both represent berlin in the bundesliga something you cant say for anywhere else in germany. Is this just season for linda finally becomes a Football City. Or has it always been one of those constantly a game of brilliance got the most teams playing at every level in the. Its not like people dont love soccer here but there are reasons its not seen as a Football City lets start with those. Really has a historical feature that sets it apart from just about every city in the world even today all this is played out in the shadow of the berlin wall. Its not just the dark rooms that make Berlin Special few places on earth have witnessed such a time or 2 us passports the city and its this history that continues to define. The city was smack in the center of the cold war germany was split between east and west while the capital was divided as well roughly 40 years of division shape todays football landscape. Passion for football is built on rivalries duking it out with hated neighbors not easy to do when theres literally a wall cutting your city and have. Your own fan and writer in go who knows all about this. Cup in the west so were going to watch the clock in the east so this supported each other so it was like a friendship. And east and west they drink different beers they even had different lights at the crosswalks no surprise they had vastly different football fields. East and west germany had separate leagues meaning many of biggest clubs like heritage and you know and have rarely played each other west berlin was surrounded by east germany cut off from regional competition. Isolation meant most teams couldnt push each other or develop lasting rivalries. When the wall came down and stablished clubs in the west of germany had the cash to poach players from eastern sides and berlins been a relatively poor city until recently. Has been a heritage fan for decades and. Will wish to play. Shes proud of how much her club has gotten out of a limit. Did budget as. We. Would. Call for a blood clot still if you. Rich western clubs have dominated since the fall of the wall 30 years back former east german clubs are a rarity in the upper leagues which means hair to entering your own dont have much competition nearby in the top tier not easy to be a Football City with empty coffers and limited local competition but constant change is built into berlins d. N. A. The citys recent growth means fewer than half of berlin residents were born here newcomers arrive with established footballing loyalties and its often easier to find bars for teams from other cities than it is from hair to arriving from football back to london over a year ago c. E. O. Represents a new wave of soccer fans and. Whether it is deaf you know football see but its not all bad. The part of pretty its a lot more about the external factors so he plays when the match is all over and where the stadium is and how he gets close to where is his you really really if you feel by the fans come for you there are plenty of reasons berlin could soon become a Football City. Think theyre changing for both of the citys top 5 on paper character the biggest club in the city should be a footballing power in their own. Topside were founded before the turn of the century have plenty of history and are in a regional but this league a member there to draw an average of 49000. 00 fans a game more than chelsea you pay in p. S. G. Unfortunately big crowds in a boisterous also heard of arent enough to guarantee a good atmosphere at that massive the limbic stadium which is still half empty with 40000. 00 people on it come on the territory they just havent captured the citys imagination Salomon Kalou its probably fair to recognize. As a ballplayer still he told us his favorite part of living in berlin is the peace and quiet. You go outside the city numbered the 2 might find some. Big difference. I am not sure if that screams Football City characters ads from last season actually had the motto of in berlin you can be anything even a hare to feel inspired. Despite their tradition and fan culture her to have a reputation for being a bit soulless it doesnt help that theyre so middle of the road on the field just because then fairy covers berlins Lower League Football for bloody hell magazine. Nothing. Against head but they had to find them very boring because what some find boring means authenticity is a long time spans the whole changes she believes its just not valuable and gee i thought i might be doing stuff. That might change her to clearly have grander designs and investor pumped 125000000 euros into the club this offseason leading to some exciting new signings including breaking their transfer record and dodie look up akio theyve also got a new coach and High Expectations which they think could transform the citys soccer scene. We need some some some success too to build a big. Football community as were as we can see of involvement and goes good. Care to claim to represent the whole city dont happen straight from their local eastern rights. On your own stand for the best of berlin soccer they have a storied history presenting themselves as an alternative to the state police back to normal berlin in my d. D. R. Era and they all have an intractable relationship to their neighborhood of kerpen it plus the fans had literally given up blood sweat and tears for their own. Its not like 20089 that was like the last rebuilding off the stadium where a lot of modern like 2000 fans actually took part terribly. Spin actions have made global headlines perpetuating an oft oversimplified myth but now many fans roll their eyes when they hear the phrase cold club yes im tired of that really. Improved play and the legendary status of their fan culture has caused some growing pains. This family feeling was being. Challenged at the moment in the past 3 years the stadium was almost at every gay. Sold all that we have from all the falls into memphis you know we have like i think 5 years ago with iran to 12000. In typical fashion didnt raise ticket prices for their 1st ever promotion to the bundesliga it will be a tough slog at the top but selling out the stadium wont be a problem on your own inherit some may have had across well friendship in the old days and this is only their 3rd ever season in the same league still promotion could reset things. You dont inherit so far and in fact be fierce rivals but if to no one can manage to stay up long enough for the q clubs to develop a history of playing against one another this therapy might just be what it takes to ignite the soccer scene in this. Book does berlin really need hair to anyone young to succeed to become a Football City or has it been one all along. Whats affordable city its whats when you look only like its just as successful like in professional football when you look at the culture of culture as a very diverse football culture and whether we have like more than for the Football Club has just about as many soccer teams as turner still cant walk more than 5 minutes without stumbling i mean charming historic grounds the clubs dotting the city have proud histories and ties to their local communities so lets run through a dense and diverse footballing landscape a little known to those outside of the german capital. Founded in berlin and 888. 00 is the countrys oldest active club ethnic clubs like turkey. Community centers for immigrant or minority groups or teams were even on the verge of promotion to the 2nd division in the ninetys but were falsely penalized for incorrectly registering a foreign player i guess thats just multicultural berlin for you babbles barrett base just outside of berlin playing the same ground as womens powerhouse to being a pot stem. Sport politically engaged ultracet you. Are going to sleep beside tennis but ortega have a different style support but equally progressive identity because i might be in the movie. I just talked about it with i didnt when i found items of crimes forgotten that by. The condition. Of what i and i see their history in west berlin and the regional leagues in the 90s means that t. V. Seen both known and heritage as rivals t. V. Hyped those who were inside and stuck everybody to metallica but when you went it was actually toward the end of the movie station idea for so much a few of our programs when i was trying to find out which were from stop him from going off on how to friends about how involved find him also which not all berlin football history is glorious just look at his money after winning. His money have the proud distinction of the pundits league has worst ever record and its a step if held onto since 1956. 10 time d. D. R. Champs formerly favored by the east German Secret Police today they play in the 4th division but are still probably unions biggest rivals known 10 ingo wont even say their names no im not going to say the name because going to. Bind it know this fair amount of bald heads head to head into the stadium and i wish i could tell you that there was an owl if you shout freaking east berlin but unfortunately you know has a reputation of being filled with right wing fans so in the off chance they can smell my ethnic background i think its time we get out of there. For every cool team playing at the local or regional level berlin has about 15 nonleague side its nonstop football here in berlin and all of these Lower Division clubs have their own identities in stories to tell. Theres a sizeable gap between the smaller clubs inherited and then your own at. This just so striving to be filled in the biggest team its a bit of a sad playing you know because once you get to that level this team tennis is a solo the scene is fantastic but it seems like a waste with all these awesome teams whiling away in the 4th 5th and 6th divisions. Berlin is nothing if not constantly changing soccer here is no different you might expect more from a german city with 4000000 residents but the line is buzzing about having 2 teams in the bundesliga for the 1st time in over 40 years. It would be of course a lot of pressure on them to sort of the city like. Between. Them and then you. Know plenty of the citys football fans might not even be watching the derby. But if youre living in berlin and youre watching just these 2 clubs in your own head youre missing out on so much football and there is drama that youre liable to get laughed at for suggesting berlin is a soccer city but still a far cry from london or madrid but things finally seem set to change at the top thanks so when your own and character and as weve seen the basis is there for even more once you scratch the surface. Did you know the kick off is now with the world of football. And quad or the banks. All the while you can really feel how high the grandstands are running im going to sign you know the stars never im just. Im crazy. Were. Going to look. Theres a football on youtube. Back to the bunkers later lets take a closer look at the team of the hour they like saying theyre the only club who have yet to drop any points this season. Its been a perfect start to the season for light sake. 3 wins 9 points top of the table not what the club could match that. I think. They have a team of the hours setting the pace in the bundesliga and its lovely thanks to that top draw strikeout. On 5 go grab a team all van up with 5 goals in 3 games then Germany International is looking shopper than ever like here on match day 3 at matching. Take. The leap sabi like take place hes nice. To see. You can see such. Things look still thinks he looks nothing. Like the traditions alive his back many a brace and passed up a good few opportunities to complete the hattrick today i managed it and im really happy. Its always nice to achieve something for the 1st time now hopefully theyll be a few more have tricks the confidence is my gift on the sofa just on a par 5. But lets back up to match day one when leipzig travel to belive it was when your 1st ever game in the bundesliga and leipsic took the newcomers apart in stride. Pledged. To take the time to. Cut cut cut. Last week. She. Chopped. Off the rugs as an Opening Statement to vincent could hardly have been more emphatic. In the things we must aim to do but least as well as last season. Well see how far we can go and whether we can stay there. Those months home debut was against frank but it was an intense close forcing counts up with lights and ultimately claiming its been bombed with. The best news of the day it was that team or vanna who got on the scoresheet to get had penned a new contract through 2023. Of. Them so i think i might see. Some very important player for us has some great news im happy im happy for him my head for the club im happy for the manager union and i hope you can do it like today on the next and it seems he could do it even better hes 3 goals like glad backfired like take to the top of the table like think its 9 points from wins against strong teams like trying for. Its good preparation for the ball and getting messed about in the like to take on the record champions at home next weekend at the top of the table with a strike in blistering form and a confident college who could possibly stand in now why. Well this guy might be nearly 5 years hes been an indispensable constant in bidens defense. Can make you complain. Defendo only feel that is the record champions mr reliable. Sometimes buy and dont know where to put him because yours you and kim it is good in central midfield. Every bit as good. Right back here there and everywhere chemist has long since made himself indispensable to buy and. I can play in both positions at a very high level which gives me a lot of confidence and give us a sense of horror. That much is evident now in his 5th year with the record champions commissions not just a minute of his legal action since nico coach to charge last summer that tells its own child he finds hardest running while im just been steadily working his way up the clubs internal hierarchy thanks to his early adaptability. For its a bunch of excess food joining a guy of high just considered myself a central midfielder in a suit realize that it was a young player looking for game time and cant be fussy and play wherever you needed. Effectively accelerating his own career path kinneys took the initial step up from 2nd see a football in 2015 then 20 year old was playing for upwardly mobile abhi lights when brian came calling. I remember it well i was watching t. V. With my housemates use of pulse and when my agent right. First i couldnt believe bowen wanted the player from bundesliga to go. From there it was fast forward all the way under this coach what a yellow remolded the young prospect into a central defender just a metre 76 tall but hes much intelligence more than made up for the relatively slight frame. Perceived weaknesses always used to be physical ones of be hearing i was too weak to slow too small. You showed me. A lot of things i just never known about its a lot of small details on positional chips or make it so youre always playing with a different system or a different line under the system you yeah those were very exciting times. In the meantime kimmie he is now a leader and a 4 time german champion at 24. 00 his Success Story is very much a family affair. Im told only doing that without my parents support but still be kicking a ball about in my home village is one of our new getting on in the game back then involves an awful lot of driving my dad took me everywhere im grateful for that to this day you must have been this close enough said uncle. He knows where hes from where he aims to finish up once again and that the road to the next title will likely be contested with familia fugs. Individual probably boil down to dortmund and us with all the normal kills you it came in with a here in central midfield all that brought back hell be doing his bit says brian chase that straight bundesliga title see you next time. You. Get the classic among germany 50 trips frankfurt but its exciting contrasts from the skyline to be old town and from the every culture around the fighter called. I have a voice that i am eager to try to the nightlife in the station district. On digital. T. V. Robotics. Deep learning merged reality wait a 2nd we want the whole picture out facts is that a big ideas shift deliver us. From a dimension reality to cryptocurrency your topics for live in an ever changing Digital World lets talk to devise a simple. Shift. With them how to be good go suckers when the highest i know if i had known the boat would be that small i never would have gone on a trip i would not have put myself and my parents so much time danger to move out of the game open a beautifully it would.
