Before the start of the new Bundesliga season, there was only one man on the pitch on Twitter - but it was the singer of the anthem.
The
FC Bayern
started against
Schalke 04
in a new Bundesliga season.
The fans were amazed at a
musical performance
before the opening game.
On Twitter, many users reacted to the
singing
before kick-off.
Now the singer
speaks up
with an
emotional post
(see update from September 19)
.
Update from September 19, 9:58 a.m
.: The new
Bundesliga season
started yesterday with a spectacular victory for
FC Bayern
against
FC Schalke 04
.
But in the run-up to the game, something completely different caused a stir: singer
Sasha
with his interpretation of the
national anthem
.
The vocal performance of the pop star caused
mixed reactions
, at least on Twitter
(see first report
).
Later Sasha spoke up on
- with a highly emotional post.
The photo shows his son
Otto
, who is watching Papa's appearance on television.
"What an evening!!
I hope Otto is proud of me, ”he writes about the picture, and in contrast to some
Twitter users
, the fans seem quite sure of that.
"
Of course he's proud
... I'm so happy to have heard a national anthem without frills," commented one user.
Even Sasha's
mother-in-law
joins the discussion.
“I'm super proud of you too.
You did great.
Pure goosebumps ”, she lets the singer know.
Which side is right in the end?
Well, as
is well known,
taste
can be argued ...

What an evening!!
I hope Otto is proud of me 😊 I thank everyone who tuned in ❤️ It was an honor !!

FC Bayern versus Schalke: The fans are not completely convinced of Sasha's performance
First report from September 18
: Munich -
FC Bayern
started
the new Bundesliga season
on Friday evening against
FC Schalke 04
- but without spectators.
Normally, a new season has started with a small
opening ceremony
for a few years now
, but this year it was waived for the occasion.
The
German national anthem
was
sung
by pop singer
Sasha
before the game
that year
, which irritated some fans.
FC Bayern versus Schalke: Singer of the German national anthem causes funny reactions
The Bundesliga fans on
didn't quite know what
to think of
the
pop star's
appearance
.
Very few people know
that Sasha, whose real name is Sascha Röntgen,
stormed
the
charts
around twenty years ago
and
landed
at
number two
with the pop album "... You"
.
A user asks (probably jokingly) what Sasha actually earns his money with.
What does Sascha actually do for a living?
Should you know that?
Is he doing something really nice? #Bundesliga # FCBS04 #FCBayern

Others wondered why the singer, who was born in Soest and is an avowed supporter of Schalke's arch-rivals
Borussia Dortmund
,
sings
the
national anthem
in the game between the Knappen and
FC Bayern
.
Another user suggested that Sasha
should have sung
his hit
"If You Believe"
for the most recently extremely unsuccessful Schalke fans
.
However, Schalke lost faith in a victory in Munich after just a few minutes.
FC Bayern versus Schalke 04: Fans remember Sarah Connor's bizarre Allianz Arena appearance
Dortmund's Sascha sings at Bayern against Schalke 😂 # FCBS04

Many fans remembered
Sarah Connor
, who
also sang the national anthem
at the second opening game in the
Allianz Arena
in 2005
, given the
singer's
appearance
.
Before the friendly match between
Bayern Munich
against the German national team, the then 24-year-old was a bit too nervous and
wrote the text
simply
order
.
The line “Blossom in the shine of this happiness” was changed to “Brüh in the light of this happiness”, and the singer made the
headlines the
next day
.
After all, safer text than Sarah Connor once ... # FCBS04

"Will the national anthem ever be sung again at some point and no reference made to Sarah Connor?" Asks a user in a tweet.
Another wants to know: "Where is
Sarah Connor
when you need her?" After all, Sasha is given more
text security by
the community
than the young Sarah Connor.
(ajr)
Sarah Connor has grown old.

At the start of the Bundesliga, the boards of directors of Bayern and FC Schalke sat in the stands without any distance or mask. That caused a lot of criticism.
