Comment: Let it sparkle

The rumination at the end of the commercial Argument against RB Leipzig is now tapped, says DW sports editor, Sarah Wiertz and calls: we Focus better with a lot of humour on the Sporty in the Bundesliga.

Dietrich Mateschitz will have a SIP approved. The long-term strategy of the effervescent beverage billionaire seems to be working. The past seven years, the Red Bull founder million invested in the early stage of the project RB Leipzig. From the fifth League lawn ball sport Leipzig has played in the first football class. And now: On the 2. Round of the first Bundesliga victory – ironically, against the successful traditional club Borussia Dortmund.

Convincing, what have shown the young, partly unknown player. Motivated, but still controlled, and, above all, to the last minutes. No Tiki-Taka football, not a spectacle, but also not purely defensive, the only disturbance in the game flow from the opponent-oriented tactics. And also the audience, after 22 years without first division football, celebrated and fired his Team – without riots and pyrotechnics.

All the clubs are commercialized

The Argument, the effervescent club have no history, and the success was just bought, is now tapped. The commercialism has almost all the clubs in the Bundesliga. The must also accept the Fans of the listed clubs from Dortmund, has spent 100 million euros on new players, and its main sponsor Evonik pumps probably a lot more in the club. Whether Gazprom at Schalke, Audi in Ingolstadt, Adidas at Bayern Munich, and VW in Wolfsburg – companies everywhere are part of the mix. Only the company bosses are not so prominent in the foreground, such as the TSG Hoffenheim patron Dietmar Hopp (SAP) and Dietrich Mateschitz are doing and are therefore not as vulnerable.

And if we are already at the Financial: The sale of Ostklubs about 25 years ago shortly before and after the turn of many clubs, their supporters rant against the commercialism benefited. So: keep the Ball low, let Leipzig tingling but now just. Also effervescent drinks sometime scarf. We are pleased, however, that this sports-mad city, the German football Association before 116 years ago, is back on top form and stay with the Sporty.

Hasenhüttl with courage and the right coming off the bench

Since RB Leipzig days after two games, four points. It shows that the management has bought at a good price: The two 15-million-Euro transfer, Oliver Burke and Naby Keita made against the BVB for the winning goal. Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl had changes the two only a short time before and was rewarded for his courage to bring two offensive forces. The players, managers and Fans should enjoy the moment.

Because there are also other times will come. So Dortmund’s Coach Thomas Tuchel gave his competitors way behind with on the way: “Sometimes it’s harder to go the next step, if you ever managed a big one.” The also had to learn to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the last few years. Their Fans enjoyed ourselves last in the game against RB Leipzig with a self-deprecating posters in the stadium, such as “TSG 18,99 €” and “football is only a destroyed: Hope, and no one else”. With a sense of Humor, a lot is simply to endure easier.
