Fuss slots home the third
So at last, my first 'real' game since September. The pitch was white with green markings; don't think i've seen that since the 'white ball' Glens-Blues game back in 1995.
To be honest, I don't have too much to report from the game, seeing as I was too busy chatting and catching up with people to pay too much attention to the action. In the first half, TeBe displayed some crisp neat passing, remarkable given the surface, most of their good stuff going through Fuss (finally no high balls pumped forward to him) and Micha was sharp as a tack. I like his combination with my new cult favourite big Vuckovic. TeBe went in at the break deservedly 3-1 ahead.
A big thanks to Mr. Bungle, stadium DJ, for playing my request Teenage KICKS by the Undertones, and for Felix for providing the record.
The second half was pretty poor, but not surprising given the surface. The fans however were in fine fettle, belting out a host of old favourites, and 'Caravan of Love' was given another airing, though it still requires some learning by the newer fans. Again, Mr. Bungle, star that he is, played the 'proper' version after the match.
After, we managed to slip into the press conference, where free beer and food awaited. Raickovic the trainer truly is a man of few quiet words; the Hansa trainer was magnanimous in his praise. After, some chats ensued, first with my new english-speaking mate 'Thompo' and then Micha, hounded all night by the Fortuna Stalker.
All in all, I thought TeBe looked good, no way will we go down now, so it's a case of Aufbauarbeit now till the end of the season, let the team get to know each other, then really go for it next season when hopefully Babelsberg will be in a league above and FC Union will be bankrupt.
