Kommentar #H96FCN: K.o. nach Punkten

Hannover 96 2:0 1. FC Nürnberg

🥅 1:0 Halstenberg (Foulelfmeter, 79., Neumann) ⚽️ 2:0 Momuluh (80., Kunze)

In der ersten Halbzeit erwies sich Hannover als überlegen, während der Club Schwierigkeiten im Spielaufbau hatte und immer wieder früh den Ball verlor. Bereits nach wenigen Sekunden setzte Emreli ein erstes Ausrufezeichen, doch ansonsten dominierte Hannover mit klaren Feldvorteilen. Keeper Reichert hielt mit herausragenden Paraden die Null, besonders gegen Tresoldi und Ngankam. Trotz anhaltenden Drucks stabilisierte sich die Abwehr im Verlauf der ersten 45 Minuten etwas und gefährliche Szenen der Gastgeber wurden seltener. Ein torloses Unentschieden zur Pause war vor allem der starken Defensivarbeit und den Reflexen von Reichert zu verdanken.

Nach dem Seitenwechsel pr��sentierte sich Nürnberg verbessert und gestaltete die Partie offener, konnte aber die Joker von Hannover nicht entscheidend stoppen. Momuluh brachte Schwung ins Spiel der Gastgeber, und nach einem unglücklichen Foul von Serra verwandelte Halstenberg den fälligen Elfmeter. Kurz darauf erhöhte Momuluh auf 2:0. Trotz eines späten Aufbäumens mit guten Chancen von Castrop und Pick blieb es bei der Niederlage. Die verbesserte Leistung in der zweiten Halbzeit zeigt jedoch, dass der Club durchaus Potenzial hat, das im nächsten Spiel gegen Preußen Münster abgerufen werden muss. Muss, denn es weht ein eisiger Wind durch den Arbeitsvertrag von Miroslav Klose.

Aufstellung FCN: Reichert – Karafiat, Knoche, Seidel – Villadsen (89. Pick), Danilo Soares (89. Yilmaz), Jander, Castrop, Justvan, Schleimer (59. Lubach) – Emreli (75. Serra) Letzte 10 Pflichtspiele: S–N–☀️–N–S–🏆S–U–N–S–N–N (BL-Saison: 2 S, 1 U, 4 N) Tabellenplatz: 14 ↓11 (7 Punkte, –6 Tore) Relegationsabstände: ↑ –8, ↓ +2 Nächstes Spiel: Samstag, 05.10., 13:00 Uhr, gg.

CeBIT '96, Hannover (1996)

[germanpostwarmodern]

The brothers Heinz (1902-96) and Bodo Rasch (1903-95) despite their pioneering projects and ideas never quite received the attention they deserve: although the two only collaborated between 1926 and 1930 their bundled creativity resulted in innovative and highly original furniture and architectural projects. The most prominent examples of these projects undoubtedly were the furnishings for the „Apartment for a Bachelor“ at Mies van der Rohe’s Housing Block at the Weissenhof Estate and their spectacular designs of suspended constructions. With the latter they prefigured developments (and eventually constructions) that would only be realized decades after their first utopian proposals.

In 2009 art historian Annette Ludwig published her dissertation „Die Architekten Brüder Heinz und Bodo Rasch - Ein Beitrag zur Architekturgeschichte der Zwanziger Jahre“ with Wasmuth, a fundamental study of the Raschs’ work in the context of the architectural avant-garde of the 1920s. Beginning with the brothers’ training at the technical universities in Hannover and Stuttgart, Ludwig explores their first steps in modern architecture on basis of selected student projects. In the subsequent chapters the author comprehensively analyses the inner workings as well as the built and unbuilt projects of the brothers’ office which Anette Ludwig terms „concrete utopias“: although basically all of them remained unbuilt the suspended constructions in general and the so-called „Hängehäuser“ in particular anticipated future trends in architecture. Accordingly it is hardly surprising that Frei Otto acknowledged the significance of their projects. At the same time the two were involved in the Werkbund circles and published several important books, among them „Wie bauen?“ and „Der gefesselte Blick“ with which they not only addressed contemporary architecture but also their activities in the field of advertisement and typography.

By virtue of her complete analysis of the brothers Rasch multifaceted work Anette Ludwig adds an important chapter to the history of modern architecture in Germany and finally provides the long overdue fundamental work on them. Warmly recommended!

People about Thomas pt3

Sepp Maier:

What impresses you about Thomas Müller?

I'm hugely impressed that he has stayed at FC Bayern for his entire career, just as I did. What more could you ask for? He's won everything there is to win with FC Bayern. Thomas is FC Bayern through and through, and that's the right thing to do. He even played in the club's youth ranks.

You celebrated success with another famous Müller in your team, is Thomas as difficult for a goalkeeper to predict as Gerd was?

Them are two completely different types: Thomas moves all over the field, our Gerd was dangerous inside the box like nobody else. Thomas also makes assists, which wasn't Gerd's specialty, to be honest. But they both have something in common: Thomas belongs to the list of the great FC Bayern players, just like Gerd or Franz Beckenbauer, or whatever they were called in our ероса.

Ron-Robert Zieler:

The first time I played against Bayern München in March 2011, we won with Hannover 96. We left the pitch with a 3-1 victory. I was given Thomas Müller's shirt, whom I'd already known for six or seven years at the time. We had played together under Bernd Stöber in the U-16 national team.

The shirt - Thomas, I hope you'll forgive me - is currently in a storage room that my wife and I have rented. We've moved so many times in the last few years, six in eight years, that we've decided to leave everything we don't need in storage until we have time to unpack everything into a permanent home once our careers are over. Then I will also - I promise - take out the Müller jersey, even though he wasn't exactly my favorite opponent. I conceded 45 goals in games against Bayern Munich. Nine of them came from him. But if there's anyone you can't be angry with for long, it's Thomas Müller.

He was already a dodderer when we met in 2004. Even then he reminded me of a Skydancer, those funny figures that move strangely when a little wind blows on them from below. Thomas is like that too. Unconventional in his movements. He is a horror for goalkeepers. From his movements, it's impossible to know which way his shot will go.

The best goals Thomas scored for me were in Brazil in 2014. In some training sessions he outplayed me; I was there in goal alongside Manuel Neuer and Roman Weidenfeller. But he was good. Maybe I gave him a bit of confidence so that he could score five such unforgettable goals on our way to the World Cup title.

All the best for the future, dear Thomas. And even if you and I never meet again on the pitch (unless the Cup draw dictates otherwise), I invite you to try to score against any other fellow goalkeeper more times than against me. Without complaining, I would let this unglamorous record of goals conceded pass.

Felix Zwayer:

I can't remember how many times I've had the honor of whistling Thomas Müller throughout his career. But it has (almost) always been a great pleasure. Thomas is a true professional, and you can tell that he is also aware of the referee's point of view. That makes for an honest and open dialogue on the pitch.

Last season I had an experience with him that I found very respectful: After losing the game in Leverkusen at the beginning of February, he came to see me despite the huge disappointment, thanked me for the way I had conducted the game and said goodbye in a very polite manner. Not everyone manages to do that in a situation like that. I was very impressed. Overall, I think I've noticed a clear evolution in the league over the years: Before, people just talked, communicated and sometimes complained. Today, the comments are much more professional and also more selective, and the conversations are held at the same level.

What always impresses me most about Thomas when I see him on the field is that he is a great motivator, he leads the way, sets an example and involves his teammates. That also shows as a referee. He is simply a great leader on and off the field.

Official announcement

Joselu has signed a two-year contract with Al-Gharafa SC.

In 2009, he joined Real Madrid Castilla from Celta Vigo and spent the next two seasons on loan at his former club. During the 2011/2012 season, he played a crucial role in Castilla's promotion to the Segunda Division. Joselu made his first-team debut for Real Madrid in 2011, scoring the final goal in an 8:1 victory against UD Almería. For the 2012/2013 season, he was loaned to German club TSG Hoffenheim, and a year later, he was sold to Hannover 96 for €5 million. Over the subsequent years, he played for Stoke City, Deportivo La Coruna, Newcastle United, Deportivo Alaves, and RCD Espanyol, all while dreaming of returning to Real Madrid.

On July 1, 2023, Joselu's dream came true. With Benzema's departure, Real Madrid needed a striker and decided to loan Joselu from RCD Espanyol. Although he was not a regular starter, he made a significant impact. He played 49 matches, scored 17 goals—including a crucial brace against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals—and provided three assists. His efforts helped Real Madrid secure their 15th Champions League title, along with the La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana.

Real Madrid showed interest in keeping Joselu for another year, but after signing strikers Endrick and Mbappe, Joselu chose to move to Qatar.

Thank you, Joselu, for an amazing season. Good luck in the future!

24.11.23 hannover 96 v. hertha bsc: 2:2

first game i've seen in a WHILE! either in person or on a screen. i couldn't believe i got to see two whole goals happen right in front of me!!!! i screamed so much it was amazing. i was a bit stressed by the ✨stimmung✨ because my friend was with me and she's less into the whole football fan scene but in the end i think she enjoyed it in the end. certainly a story that the ultras made the game stop while we had great front row seats for the whole thing. all in all, a good experience :D

[bundeslihaha]

Bundeslihaha: 2. Bundesliga, 1st to 6th place (WIP)

I don't know if I'll ever finish this since I am (sadly, for my own sake) planning to narrow my focus to just the men's 1. Bundesliga (cause disability really is disabling... insert shocked pikachu meme) xD

Karlsruhe stuck between Hannover and his bf Hamburger SV is like 😅 also Fortuna not yet sad from losing the play-off against Bochum xp

More musings under the cut :3

and also I don't have designs for several clubs yet and some others I don't really like. Honestly with Paderborn's haircut being similar to current Freiburg's I have a thought of giving Freiburg wavy/curly hair again. or maybe giving Paderborn wavy/curly hair, why not? Hansa's design definitely will get a revamp.

I also want to play with the "rivals have opposite designs" thing with not just Pauli/Werder and HSV, but also Nuernberg and Fuerth, plus Hannover and Braunschweig, cause their old designs aren't complementary enough. I might also think about Karlsruhe and Stuttgart too... hmm.... or just Karlsruhe and Kaiserslautern? But I don't think I can or want to make all of them fit a pattern xD

Making the body types and heights varied and fitting the club's situation also is a challenge but I definitely want that. :D

Kommentar #H96FCN: Auf Hui folgt Pfui

Hannover 96 3:0 1. FC Nürnberg

⚽️ 1:0 Nielsen (6., Leopold) ⚽️ 2:0 Nielsen (38., Köhn) ⚽️ 3:0 Teuchert (90+2., Voglsammer)

War schon klar, dass der Club nicht gegen Hannover gewinnen wird, schließlich redeten nach dem Rückrunden-Auftaktsieg die ersten schon wieder vom Aufstieg. Aber dass wir so kampf- und ideenlos das Spiel hergeben, damit war nicht zu rechnen.

Der Club startete mit der Erfolgself vom letzten Spieltag. Aber sie zeigte in Hannover ein völlig anderes Gesicht. Die Gastgeber hingegen legte ab dem Anpfiff los wie die Feuerwehr. Bereits in der 6. Minute gerieten wir in Rückstand, als Nielsen einen Freistoß von Leopold ins Tor verlängerte. Der Club fand überhaupt keinen Zugriff zum Spiel und durfte sich ein ums andere Mal beim Aluminium bedanken, dass es nicht schneller und deutlicher auf der Anzeigetafel wurde. In Minute 38 erhöhte dann abermals Nielsen zum 2:0-Pausenstand. Nichts deutete darauf hin, dass der Club den Rückstand aufholen könnte.

Fiél wechselte zur zweiten Halbzeit gleich vier Mal aus. Genutzt hat es nichts. Dass nur noch ein weiterer Gegentreffer zu verzeichnen war – Ex-Glubberer Teuchtert versenkte noch einen zum Spielabschluss – war eher Hannover zu verdanken, die merkten, dass sie sich keine große Mühe mehr geben mussten, um diese drei Punkte zuhause zu behalten.

Aufstellung FCN: Klaus – Valentini (46. Gyamerah), Marquez, Horn, Brown – Flick, Castrop (46. Geis), Goller (46. Wekesser), Uzun, Okunuki (46. Schleimer) – Andersson (73. Kania) Letzte 10 Pflichtspiele: 🏆S–N–S–N–N–🏆N–S–N–S–N (BL-Saison: 8 S, 3 U, 8 N) Tabellenplatz: 9 ↓7 (27 Punkte, –9 Tore) Relegationsabstände: ↑ –8, ↓ +7 Nächstes Spiel: Samstag, 3.

Sabtu, 28 Desember 2024

Kemudian pada hari ini aku menolak untuk membersihkan tempat tidur, kamar mandi, meja dan lantai itu serupa yang setiap hari aku lakukan. Semua kekacauan ini sebenarnya adalah musuhku, ketidakteraturan dan kebisingan ini. Dibalik tisu, tempat sampah dan baju-baju yang menumpuk, di dalamnya menyeruak sebuah keresahan yang lama kupendam. Izinkan aku untuk tidak peduli sekali pagi ini.

Terbangun pada pukul 9 pagi, setelah meneguk obat sakit kepala tadi malam, yang entah apa ini sebenarnya. Sebuah penyakit? Aku juga menolak untuk menerima kenyataan ini. Persetanlah sampai waktu yang aku belum tahu.

5 jam sekian menit, nyaris 6 jam aku tertidur semalam. Terakhir yang aku lihat adalah Naruto berhasil keluar dari kandangnya dan bersiap berperang melawan Madara. Aku juga menolak untuk memikirkan ini sekarang.

Satu hal yang aku tidak tolak adalah tadi seorang ibu-ibu meminta izin untuk mengambil tempat dudukku biasa untuk sekedar berfoto. Dia bilang bagus spot disitu. Heuh.

Aku mengalah untuk ini.

Biar bagaimanapun aku tidak bisa menghentikan mereka. Mereka adalah begitu sampai mereka tidak ada lagi. Dan sebenarnya sekarang aku tidak lagi mempermasalahkan itu semua seperti hari-hari sebelumnya, dimana mereka berhasil membuatku merasa jijik.

Entah kenapa berdamai dengan ini terasa lebih baik dari pada membersihkan kasur.

Kenapa ya...

Entahlah.

Sekarang aku menggunakan kemeja hitam, celana jeans yang baru kemarin aku beli, fittingnya terasa bagus di kakiku. Sepatu converse 70's dan jam tangan terbaikku diikat dengan strap hijau nato kesukaan. Hari ini aku tampil baik hanya untuk sekedar ke kedai. Dan entah mengapa juga ini terjadi. Kenapa sebaik ini?! Aku bahkan tak ada rencana untuk bertemu siapapun kecuali meja kerja.

Namun, kepraktisan dalam bergaya menjadi pilihanku sekarang. Persetan dengan kalian wahai para skena yang menggunakan celana sebesar kain sarung dan jam tangan AC. Aku benar-benar malas melihat kalian. Apa lagi pose foto kalian yang paling keren itu, yang sambil menengok ke kiri atau ke kanan. Foto-foto absurd serupa tong sampah yang kalian ambil itu pernah mengganggu pikiranku berjam-jam. Heuh.

Tapi hari ini pun aku tidak peduli dengan itu.

Lalu apa yang menjadi hal yang aku pedulikan sekarang?

...

Merokok, dan mengopi.

Buku Rick Rubins disebelahku. Sudah masuk ke page 9. Dan banyak yang sudah aku stabilokan. Page 8 aku kepit dengan jepitan tembaga dari Traveler's Company Japan. Meja kerjaku hari ini dangat penuh tapi pikiranku sangat tenang. Aku beritahu ini biar kau tahu bahwa kerjaku tak cuma sekedar merokok dan mengopi. Kadang-kadang aku juga membaca macam kalian para skena yang membaca novel Tere Liye. Ada apa sih sebenernya sama kalian? Apa kalian sudah mendengar pidato Adolf Hitler yang ditranslasikan ke dalam bahasa Inggris oleh AI?

Cuaca diluar panas dan cerah sekali. Aku sudah nyaman berada di Padang. Jangan khawatirkan aku disini. Dua bulan lalu aku membeli TV yang besar dan sebuah console PS5. Aku senang disini. Telah aku beli Ronaldo. Telah aku besarkan Hannover 96 dengan striker biasa Njimah. Kami memenangkan liga champions dan Bundes Liga dan banyak lagi.

Aku senang berada disini. Aku bersyukur untuk hari ini. Aku senang. Aku senang. Tak ada yang menggangguku.

Tak ada rencana untuk hari ini selain menikmati ini semua dan mungkin sedikit memikirkan masa depan sekali lagi. Ingin menjadi apa aku?

Tak ada kata sukses sebelum sampai pada titik yang sudah aku tuliskan.

Tapi satu hal yang harus kita ketahui bersama pada hari ini, setinggi apapun hidup yang kita pernah catat, itu sama sekali tidak akan merubah persepsiku terhadap aku dan kalian wahai dunia. Dimana aku senang, adalah sepenuhnya jauh sejak sebelum sampai pada tahap yang sekarang. Jadi, diantara dahulu kala ketika masih membeli kopi dengan berdua, atau dengan sekarang membuat kopi dari mesin terbaik sendiri, itu tak ada bedanya tentang apa yang aku rasakan.

Aku tak berbeda dengan 10 tahun yang lalu, dan 10 tahun kedepan!

Kesuksesan tidak merubahku. Aku yang merubahnya.

Official announcement

Real Madrid used the clause in Joselu's loan deal and signed the player for 1,5 million €.

In 2009, he joined Real Madrid Castilla from Celta Vigo and spent the next two seasons on loan at his former club. During the 2011/2012 season, he played a crucial role in Castilla's promotion to the Segunda División. Joselu made his first-team debut for Real Madrid in 2011, scoring the final goal in an 8:1 victory against UD Almería. For the 2012/2013 season, he was loaned to German club TSG Hoffenheim, and a year later, he was sold to Hannover 96 for €5 million. In the following years, he played for Stoke City, Deportivo La Coruna, Newcastle United, Deportivo Alaves, and RCD Espanyol, all while dreaming of returning to Real Madrid.

On July 1, 2023, Joselu's dream came true. With Benzema's departure, Real Madrid needed a striker and decided to loan Joselu from RCD Espanyol. Though he was not a regular starter, he made a significant impact. He played 49 matches, scored 17 goals—including a crucial brace against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals—and provided three assists. His efforts helped Real Madrid secure their 15th Champions League title, along with the La Liga title and the Supercopa de Espana.

According to media reports, this move is intended to facilitate Joselu's transfer to the Qatari club Al-Gharafa SC. Real Madrid is expected to sell the striker to Al-Gharafa SC for €1.5 million without profiting from the transaction. This arrangement is designed to ensure Joselu's smooth transfer to Qatar and likely secure him better earnings due to the low transfer fee, which would have been higher if negotiated by RCD Espanyol.
