How did this football year 2021 feel, how did it taste?
Now that it's over for almost all table footballers up to the district league, we can ask.
Does it smell like the slightly scruffy warm-up shirts and jerseys from TSV Isen? They disappeared “after the very frustrating game in Buch”, as Tiemo Wennrich tells us. The player-coach from Isen is reluctant to think back to that 2-2 after a 2-0 lead. “In a derby, of all things, and then against Buch, who only got two points in the whole season,” he says annoyed. In any case, the shirts and half of the jersey set have been missing since then. Two weeks later they reappeared: in the trunk of Captain Andreas Oberprieler. “Somebody threw them in without Andi knowing about it,” Wennrich says. "Why he noticed it so late is another matter," says the coach with a laugh.
On the other hand, the novelty that Matthias Kurz talked about had absolutely no delicacies. In a test match he had to replace a player because he urgently had to go to the toilet. "That has never happened to me as a trainer either," says the SpVgg Eichenkofen coach. Kurz had previously been with FC Erding for four and a half years: as a player-coach, co-player-coach and simple player, and all in the district league, district league, A-class and B-class. As goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and striker - as the ex-kicker listed.
Why is he no longer with the FCE?
Not because it might all have become too much for him.
Instead, the FCE had decided to send only one team to play in the future, fed up with the first and second.
The decision about it, as press spokesman Tommy Frieß reveals, was made online.
Exit by vote after the Zoom conference - that too is football 2021.
How was the season otherwise?
"Medium" would probably say TuS Oberding in view of its seven draws in the preliminary round.
This makes him the king of draws in the district.
The drama queens of the tie, on the other hand, are the footballers from Türkgücü Erding: 4: 4, 3: 3, 2: 2 twice - the Benji Tas team is always a spectacle (and we haven't even talked about the sensational win against Altenerding).
But what is a torrent compared to the flood that flooded the squares in Taufkirchen. But also in Grüntegernbach. "The water went away quickly," remembers the sports director of the TSV, Wolfgang Schnappberger. It was much worse, however, "that the flood in Oberdorf also hit one of our players and he still cannot use the property". Those were the dark moments in a football year that was so successful for TSV Grüntegernbach, or as Schnappberger puts it: "It has become the Greadugge of earlier days." The solidarity is back, and many decided to come here again in the summer to build something.
Is this the comeback of the year? Then you do not yet know the story of Niklas Unterreitmeier. Two years ago, the Wartenberg soccer player tore his cruciate ligament. He was finally able to train again. After four or five units, Richard Maierthaler called him to the squad for the game against FC Eitting. “It was a treat, a motivational kick for the second half of the season,” explains the TSV coach. "Niklas is such a great sportsman who never let himself down and was always with the team despite his injury - a team player, a fine guy." The place on the substitute bench turned into a warm-up and a substitute. Maierthaler: "And then the guy is on the pitch for two minutes and makes the decisive 3-1 with his first ball contact." Maierthaler's voice faltered a little when he continued.“You should have seen the cheers. You saw what was discharged from him. “No, we didn't see it. But we now like to imagine that the football year 2021 sometimes tasted like this: after fireworks and an explosion of cheers.
