Marbella -
Borussia Fortuna and toil on the Costa del Sol.
EXPRESS sports directors brought Max Eberl (36) and Werner Wolf (67 combined).
The dual interview.
They know each of FC Bayern.
Werner: Max has helped me when I was in distress. We had a world class-A youth with ...
Eberl: ... Gospodarek in goal. Nerlinger, Münch, Hamann, Eberl, Radlspeck, Cerny, Babbel, Grlic - a super-vintage. Hermann Gerland I still talk to it, because we have left in the first round of the German championship against Stuttgart.
You have exceeded expectations. How do you experience the upswing of your neighbors?
Werner: Michael Frontzeck has formed a team that plays football the structural and makes it fun to go back. Borussia is on the way to establish themselves in the Bundesliga. This is the merit of Max and Michael. In the knock-out against Duisburg but I also noticed that the players always have problems against lower division opponents head back when they feel less able to achieve much. This does not work.
Eberl: Fortune Dusseldorfers rise of 50,000 in the stadium we have followed very closely. The giant Fortuna euphoria brought in a fantastic way for the new season and players brought to the hereinpassen in the new structure. With the transfer and the euphoria they are in regions to which they have not believed before the season. We can see what is possible with a team that holds it together and run in with Norbert Meier and Werner Wolf of experience. The praise I say. But now it's for Fortuna us to confirm what you have created. This is more complicated.
Both clubs are in the transfer table of the last decade at the top. Before you make now is that there can be quite simple.
Eberl: I made until 2008, our youth and watched from Fortuna to get the best talent. I have sometimes taken the trouble and compared all transfers in the Bundesliga over the past ten years. Since we are in the midfield. The number of flops at Gladbach otherwise than in Wolfsburg, Hannover, Frankfurt and Nuremberg. Of course, many in the head of this department store of the West and thus implied, we have constantly smuggles transfers and players through. Check it out on how much transfer Magath in two years has made in Wolfsburg.
Werner: When Magath all outshone by the championship, which conceals the commitments. When you see now what Wolfsburg everything tries desperately to leave, then you know also that many transfers were made in order to create a total construct, which has given them the opportunity to build peace in something. As a success has occurred, has not reckoned with the swine.
In Fortuna, I have followed from a distance that each year the team changed and ten were brought to New. There never was a team, but 20 players were thrown together and then it went back off again. So I can work not if you want to be successful. But you must create a structure in which something can develop.
Borussia had a little too much movement in the executive functions of the sporting side. In Fortuna also heads were changed permanently. As long as you have no rest get in, you can not succeed in Fortuna haben.Der came with the ex-Borussia Werner Meier, Melka, van den Bergh.
Werner: When I arrived in Dusseldorf, football was not exactly attractive. Then I said Uwe Weidemann, I will not run around in their own stadium with only a point. On top of me in Fortuna, people were screaming in every game, we want to fight you see. You do not hear more from us. Because they get the feeling that here is a team that wants to win.
Everyone would have slipped, as we are against Schalke in the final period behind lay 2:5. Schalke swallowed the 5:3, it was crazy and suddenly they had the 5:5 in it. Norbert has managed to take the types together so that only concluded when the referee abpfeift.
What is feasible for Fortuna?
Eberl: It's nice that such a euphoria was created. The decisive factor will be how you come out of the break. Fortuna is no longer seen as the underdog, but taken seriously true. I would be glad that if we had the future of Derby in the Bundesliga. That would be a class story. But it is damn hard.
