Even if it's difficult: first of all, the sporty aspect. Contrary to my fear that an insecure brown and white team on the edge of the relegation places definitely doesn't want to do anything wrong against the bottom of the table and therefore starts cautiously, the first half was absolutely worth seeing. The only thing missing were goals. There were enough chances. And while we recently Although we were still happy about the ice-cold evaluation of our chances, we were unfortunately always just a few centimeters away from playing song 2 against Dresden.
Inexplicably, nothing happened on the pitch for 30 minutes in the second half. However, players from FC St. Pauli shot on goal more often in the last 4 minutes than Dresden in the entire game. The superiority still didn't lead to a threesome. A pity. Zero to zero.
Games against Dresden are something special from the fans’ point of view. This is mainly due to the opposing fans. On a scale of sympathy that is open to the bottom, the vast majority reach absolute zero. The scheduling of the game fueled this. While St. Paulians listened to the almost 96-year-old Walter Frankenstein in the fan rooms during the week, what Germans in Nazi Germany did to Germans, Dresden residents lamented for the 75th time that other countries were no longer interested in Nazi Germany. Views of the period between 33 and 45 could not be more diametrical. This logically results in fundamental differences in the way we view today.
It doesn't help much that the club of which I am a member rushes out a statement and promotes the horseshoe theory. Because of ancient photos of stickers (has anyone ever seen them stuck?), it should be okay for Dresden fans to attempt a block storm - and injure several people in the process. Get well soon to the injured!
It is very nice to hear the truly necessary words from a player from FC St. Pauli, Leo Østigård. In summary: “Shitty club! Shitty fans!” Thank you!
