The ex-Rostock about his ring finger jubilation: "That was just a little joke." With the hit two minutes after being substituted on, the 1860 veteran shows that he wants to return to the starting eleven.
He came, met and cheered - with a gesture that sparked discussion.
It wasn't the middle finger that Dennis Erdmann showed after beheading the lead in 1860, but it was an adjacent finger - and Erdmann had pulled it out of his pants beforehand.
A provocation in the direction of the Hansa fans, who had received the former Rostock with whistles?
No, said the defender when asked by our newspaper and explained: “That was just a little bit of fun - what I do with the boys in the dressing room every now and then.
Then I come into the shower and show my ring finger.
I think everyone laughed about it too.
That's part of football.
Especially at the moment you have to be relaxed and not always see everything so seriously and doggedly. ”It is not known whether the Rostock people see it that way.
For Erdmann, in the end it was of secondary importance how the point was won in the fighting game on the Baltic Sea.
His ex-club could have won if referee Konrad Oldhafer had decided on a penalty in a handball by Stephan Salger, who was lying on the ground (74th minute) - or had rated Dennis Dressel's rescue operation differently (namely: ball behind the goal line) .
"Don't give a shit," Erdmann commented on Magenta-TV: "You can't get that back anyway."
For Erdmann, the commuter between the seat and the bench, the joy of his opening goal outweighed the joy - only two minutes after being substituted on.
“I didn't play a few games.
That's unusual for me.
The way it is, I always want to play and see myself among the top eleven. ”He put this energy into the header, which landed in the Hansa goal after Neudecker's corner.
Erdmann happy: “Football writes such a story.” For the “Earthman”, the sporty hint was the more valuable one at the end of an emotional afternoon.
