Video: SC fans say goodbye to the Dreisamstadion – SC Freiburg

Nice, melancholy mood on the first first division stadium from SC Freiburg. The Dreisamstadion.

Carmelo “Chico” Policicchio illustrates a goal against Leverkusen. It is not the purely footballing move that is in the foreground, but the expectation of the spectator who sees the goal coming, and then it actually hits like a thunderclap. And at the same time a “mega-explosion” occurs. Rrrums!

Arno Becker is also deeply moved. It describes the closeness to the game and the players.
A fade-in from him gets to the point. A deep sigh: “ech, yes. The many battles!”

I think, with experiences in the Dreisamstadion, you could do a three-part film.
A classic.

I imagine Achim Stocker coming back to earth for a day because his paradisiacal parole officer, who had suspended him from football all these years, gave him permission to check on everything again. Because Achim Stocker just can’t get away from the SCF, even if he marches through the mountains of clouds with his dog every day.

He catches a game day that is held in the Dreisamstadion: SC Freiburg against sixty in front of 20,000 people. Achim Stocker is happy and speaks to a viewer: “It’s great that we’re still playing in the Bundesliga! And the house is almost full!” He looks in the stadium booklet with the game dates: “And who’s there again: Lautern, Sechzig, Waldhof, Saarbrcken, MSV – all the traditional clubs!” The viewer looks at him in dismay: “Why the Bundesliga? This is not the Bundesliga, at least not the first.” – “Second division? Well at least! I always said: The main thing is not to relegate from second division.” – “This is third division, Grandpa!” – “Oh yeah? Well, at some point it just had to catch us. But we will definitely get promoted back to the second division.” – “The team shouldn’t be promoted.” – “Why? Did the club not get a license? Did you run it down after all? I always warned: Don’t spend more money than you earn! I knew that I wasn’t worried for nothing!”

Achim Stocker’s pulse rises very quickly and he wishes he had spent the day off with his dog on a hike in the Black Forest, as he used to do on match days. The viewer looks at him confused: “We only play second division when we are relegated. But we definitely won’t be relegated. Prank will fix it.” Achim Stocker no longer understands the world: “And who is playing in our jersey?” – “Oh, they? That’s the second team. They are now also playing with the professionals.” – “With the professionals?” – “Yes, with the professionals. We got promoted.” – “Around sixty?” – “No, 1860 was promoted before that, and can now play with the professionals again.” – “1860 Munich?” – “Yes-ha! Which star are you actually from? Haven’t you noticed anything over the last few years?” – “Yes, I was – in other realms. In higher, so to speak …” – “There where the second is kicking now?” The audience laughs.

Achim Stocker doesn’t laugh, but looks around and discovers Jogi Lw in the stands. “There’s also the Jogi. Is he training a club again?” – “It is said that he is in discussion with Real.” – “At Real? What should he do there? Branch manager? Will he no longer get a coaching job?” – “Branch manager! – he’s good! Branch manager of the professionals or what. As a coach, of course, what else! Real Madrid coach!” Achim Stocker shakes his head blankly. The viewer said calmly: “As a world champion he can probably go anywhere.” – “As world champion? In what?” – “In a man suit, man! – As football world champion of course, 2014! You should have noticed!” – “Yes, I should, right …”

Achim Stocker shakes his head perplexed. “But at least the cellar is still president.” – “No, he also resigned.” – “Why? Was he also world champion?” Stocker giggles. The viewer replied, exasperated: “No, the national team has not won anything since the president was president.” – “The national team?” – “Well, as DFB-Prsi he was also responsible for the national team. As a kind of boss at Jogi.” – “As the boss of Jogi? Lw?” – “Exactly! You really come from another planet, don’t you?” – “No, from the first amateur league. 1978. Together with the Jogi.” – “What should THAT have been, first amateur league?” – “Another star, my dear. A WHOLE different star …”

(In 1978 Achim Stocker greeted the spectators with a handshake in front of the stadium entrance and thanked them. Me too. I paid for standing room, sat down on the gravel ring below the Wrstle car on the back straight and later on occasionally gave myself a seat on the wooden grandstand whose benches were completely worn down by countless trouser bottoms. From coach Berger I went there regularly, since coach Finke always, until 2002. After that, the hustle and bustle was too much for me. But my heart stuck to it all these years, as did the memory. Maybe there is then a revival in the new stadium …)

Gilles Mebes, Freiburg.
