11 juli I hope that the party is continuingDear friends,
An amazing World Cup has come to an end. Italy took the title in a dramatic final after a thrilling penalty shoot-out. In 1990, we won the World Cup in Italy. In 2006, the Italians have done the same to us. The tifosi have been waiting for this day since 1982. In my opinion, they deserved the title, even if the final certainly wasn’t their best match.
What a final. Two goals straight away at the start, extra time, the unsporting headbutt and departure of Zinedine Zidane, the penalty shoot-out. What tension. This final was the climax of a tremendous World Cup.
FIFA president Josef S. Blatter paid us a huge compliment. He spoke of this being the best World Cup of all time. I think that the president is right. Germany presented itself uniquely over four weeks. The party miles, the public viewings, the celebrations inside and outside of the stadia – there has never been anything like it before. 500, 000 fans alone celebrated the achievement of the German team in Berlin, when Klinsman’s men greeted the fans once more after winning third place. That once again created more sympathy; the whole of Germany celebrated for four weeks, experiencing a unique party.
What will be left from this World Cup? I hope that the enjoyment of football will continue to define our country. In mid August the new Bundesliga season will be starting already. At Schalke 04 we have started back in training again, as other teams in the league have also done.
I wish you, dear friends, continue to celebrate the World Cup a little, keep your positive mood and also take this certain relaxed attitude with you into everyday life. That way, we will continue to have great fun together, in football and in life.
