August 02 Bring on BayernDear friends,
The clock’s ticking, with only 12 days left until the new season kicks off, but the ‘curtain-raiser’ has already given us a taste of what’s to come – the pre-season German ‘league cup’ has already started here, and it hasn’t been for the faint hearted…
Our qualifying round match against Leverkusen, which finished 1:1 after 90 minutes, was decided on penalties. An unbelievable 22 penalty kicks followed before we finally emerged triumphant from the battle of nerves.
Unfortunately, along with my team mate Lincoln, I wasn’t able to play, having been suspended from the first match of the competition because of a red card that I picked up last season. Having to sit in the stands in the new Düsseldorf stadium was a double penalty. It sure wasn’t just because of the summer heat that we were both sitting there sweating!
But that’s behind us now and we’re looking forward. We’re in the semi finals of the league cup, and Wednesday we’re facing last season’s winners of the league double here in Germany, FC Bayern Munich. It’s going to be a great evening of football. We want to make the first pre-season headlines in the Allianz arena (home of FC Bayern Munich) and get into Saturday’s final which is being played in Leipzig. We want to defend our title.
Sitting in the stands and being sentenced to the status of a spectator made me think quite a bit about the footballer, Kevin Kuranyi. And right now, I’ve really decided that my fans are going to see a different Kevin to the one they saw last season: even more motivated, even hungrier for goals and even more eager.
All the best,
