Analysis Mönchengladbach Christoph Kramer from Gladbach was already working as a TV expert for ZDF during the 2018 World Cup. It is also back in action at the current European Championship and shows what added value it can offer the television broadcaster and viewers at home.
Three years ago, Borussia midfielder Christoph Kramer asked for a few days to think about it after moderator Jochen Breyer asked him if he would like to act as a ZDF expert during the World Cup in Russia. Kramer finally agreed and received praise from all sides during the tournament for his job, in which he and Breyer took over the pre- and post-coverage of the games.

So it is not surprising that ZDF is also relying on Kramer for the current European championship. From Kramer’s side, the acceptance should have come a little faster this time. Because the 2014 world champion likes to slip into the role of the expert who picks up TV viewers with his wit and charm – across all age groups. “I often see myself and I have to say: It’s actually possible with HD make-up,” he said in 2018 with a smile on the ZDF microphone.

Kramer, it is true, belongs to a species that is dying out in the football industry. What he thinks he says. This has long since ceased to be a matter of course in football. He notices what does not suit him without lapsing into a disrespectful tone. He doesn’t pretend, that pleases the audience and that goes down well. “I think you can give it. But I think, and that’s part of it, he’s falling badly, ”he commented on a penalty situation for Brazilian Neymar three years ago.

After the German team’s 0-1 defeat in the opening season, he said on Tuesday evening: “It sucks that only these shitty goals count in football, but: We’re on the right track.” For Kramer himself, of course, the work of an expert is a matter of course Image gain, he reaches a wide audience with his analyzes.

But the ZDF also benefits from his sympathetic demeanor. The harmonious interaction with Breyer, with whom Kramer also gets along very well in private, is reflected in front of the camera. Kramer’s authenticity also includes the fact that he chooses his words conscientiously despite all spontaneity. The native of Solingen also brings a wealth of knowledge with him and watches more football in his free time than other of his colleagues.

And: As an active professional, Kramer is already close to the current events, with his buddy Florian Neuhaus and the two other Gladbachers Matthias Ginter and Jonas Hofmann sitting in the DFB dressing room, with whom he will surely exchange ideas during the tournament . He emphasized two weeks ago that he wanted the German team to win the title. “I hope Jogi will show everyone one last time,” said Kramer.
