  • Sepp Maier Ehem
    Sendung vom 28.2.2014, 21.00 Uhr Sepp Maier Ehem. Rekord-Torhüter der deutschen Fußballnationalmannschaft im Gespräch mit Klaus Kastan Kastan: Herzlich willkommen zum alpha-Forum. Für unseren heutigen Gast sind seine Hände besonders wichtig gewesen und deswegen zeigen wir sie auch gleich mal. Mit diesen Händen hat er unglaublich viele Bälle gefangen und abgewehrt – gefaustet darf ich eher nicht sagen, denn er war bekannt dafür, dass er die Bälle vor allem gefangen hat. Ich freue mich, im alpha-Forum Sepp Maier begrüßen zu dürfen. Weil Sie so viele Bälle gefangen haben, haben Sie auch so wahnsinnig viele Pokale entgegennehmen dürfen. Sie waren mit dem FC Bayern viermal Deutscher Meister, viermal DFB-Pokalsieger, einmal Europapokalsieger der Pokalsieger, dreimaliger Europapokalsieger der Landesmeister, einmal Weltpokalsieger und mit der Nationalmannschaft Europameister und Weltmeister. Sie sind eine wahre Fußballlegende. Ich selbst erinnere mich noch gut daran, dass ich, wenn ich mich als Kind ins Tor gestellt und einen Ball gehalten habe, laut geschrien habe: "Das war ein echter Sepp Maier!" Und damit war ich sicherlich nicht alleine in Deutschland, sondern das haben damals sehr, sehr viele Buben so gemacht. Das heißt, Sie waren ein Vorbild für viele junge Leute. Nun kommt man in die Jahre, und wenn man 1944 geboren ist, dann ist man nicht mehr 20 Jahre alt, wie man sehr leicht nachrechnen kann. Fühlen Sie sich inzwischen alt? Maier: Nein, und das, obwohl ich noch im vorigen Jahrhundert geboren wurde. Vom Geburtsdatum her bin ich alt, aber ansonsten bin ich noch topfit. Kastan: Sie schauen auch nicht so alt aus, wie Sie sind.

    Sretko Radišić Zenica, BiH, 2020. Život u SFRJ za vrijeme Tita I SKJ ___________________________________________________________________________ Danas je poželjno još jednom pogled baciti na vrijeme u kome smo živjeli nakon oslobođenja posebno u pedesetim, šezdesetim, sedamdesetim i osamdesetim godinama života u prošlom vijeku. Mnogi sudionici života u tom perioda bez obzira na generacijsku pripadnost kažu da je to bio lijep i sretan period života koji smo živjeli. Jugoslavija do koje se došlo preko mosta NOR-a od 1941-45 godine bila je sasvim druga stvarnost u odnosu na siromaštvo i nerazvijenost u kojoj su ljudi živjeli prije drugog svjetskog rata. Kao sudionici držimo u svježem sjećanju dio svog života kog smo živjeli u savremenoj i modernoj Jugoslaviji. Mi kao savremenici imali smo sreću da živimo zajedno u jednoj državi koja je stvarana po mjeri čovjeka i koja je formirana kao zajednica života. Živjeli smo na prostranstvu od Slovenije, kao najsjevernije Socijalističke republike do Makedonije kao najužnije Republike. Da se podsjetimo i ukratko prođemo tim vremenom i prostranstvom. 1 Život u SFRJ za vrijeme Tita I SKJ ___________________________________________________________________________ SR SLOVENIJA Socijalistička republika Slovenija bila je po prostranstvu i broju stanovnika među manjima u SFRJ. Međutim Slovenija i Slovenci su imali svoj osobejan duh koji je oplemenjivao našu zajednicu. Unutar Slovenije je bila naša najveća planina Triglav ispod koje izvire naša najveća rijeka Sava. Najveći grad i glavni grad SR Slovenije bila je Ljubljana. Pored Ljubljane veći gradovi bili su: Maribor, Celje, Velenje, Portorož, Postojna, Krško, Murska Sobota, Novo Mesto, Kranj, Bled, Koper, Sežana i još neka mjesta. Slovenija je imala svoju obalu Jadranskog mora, i predivna jezera Bohinjsko i Bledsko.

  • 75 a MANERA DE PROLOGO La Escuela Nacional De Entrenadores
    75 A MANERA DE PROLOGO La Escuela Nacional de Entrenadores, por decisión de su Director, envió al Campeonato del Mundo de Fútbol celebrado en Alemania del 13 de junio al 7 de julio de 1.974, a cuatro de sus miembros (Don Eduardo Toba, Don Miguel Munoz, Don José Santamaría y Don Eusebio Martín), con el fin de presenciar dicha competición y emitir el oportuno informe que sería trasladado posteriormente a las Escuelas regionales y a los propios Entrenadores. Mi misión, que en principio era de coordinador, su­ frió una alteración como consecuencia de la renuncia de Don José Iglesias (otro de los designados) al que su Club negó el oportuno permiso. Es por ello que, manteniendo mi punto de residencia en Frankfurt, tuve que realizar constantes desplazamientos para poder cumplir esta misión y parte de la que en principio le corres­ pondía al Sr. Iglesias. Los desplazamientos me llevaron a Berlín, Dussel­ dorf, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Stuttgart y Munich donde, combinan­ do los horarios de trenes, pude presenciar un total de 14 parti­ dos en directo, de los que cuatro lo fueron en dos días, a dos par­ tidos por día. Dichos partidos fueron los siguientes: 14.6 ALEMANIA F. - CHILE 13.6 BRASIL - YUGOSLAVIA 15.6 POLONIA - ARGENTINA 18.6 ESCOCIA - BRASIL 19.6 HOLANDA - SUECIA 22.6 ESCOCIA - YUGOSLAVIA 23.6 POLONIA - ITALIA 26.6 HOLANDA - ARGENTINA 26.6 YUGOSLAVIA - ALEMANIA F. 30.6 ALEMANIA D. - HOLANDA 30.6 ALEMANIA F. - SUECIA 3.7 POLONIA - ALEMANIA F. 6.7 BRASIL - POLONIA 7.7 HOLANDA - ALEMANIA F. El resto de los partidos los vi por TV., u tos y otros en diferido, en el Centro de Prensa situado en el Ho­ tel Intercontinental de Frankfurt o en el Hotel Hessischer Hof en el que me alojaba.

  • M. Jazbec: Individualism As a Determinant of Successful Diplomats
    EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES − INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ON EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES VOLUME 10, NUMBER 1 (17), PP 115-139, APRIL 2019 Individualism as a determinant of successful diplomats through the engagement of stereotyped sportspersons Milan Jazbec1 ABSTRACT The first part of the paper discussion commences with skiing, which has the dimension of a national myth in Slovenia and elaborates the stereotype that Slovenes are not successful in col- lective sports, but in individual ones. We examined this issue with presentation, comparison and commenting all facts in selected individual sports vs. collective sports (skiing vs. football, swimming vs. basketball and athletics vs. handball). Generally speaking, Slovenes are in sports above all individuals. The second part of the paper contemplates the individualism of diplomats and sportspersons. This characteristic enables outstanding sportspersons, who are celebrities, to appear therefore occasionally as ad hoc diplomats. They de facto represent their own countries, promote friendly relations in concrete cases or generally, as a universal value, and also negotiate, if tasked with this. However, they are not diplomats; they just behave like them, since they are successful in- dividuals. KEY WORDS: diplomacy, sport, individualism, myth, stereotypes POVZETEK Prvi del opisuje smučanje, ki ima v Sloveniji razsežnost nacionalnega mita, predstavljen pa je tudi stereotip, da Slovenci niso uspešni v kolektivnih športih, ampak v individualnih. To vprašan- je smo preučili s predstavitvijo, primerjavo in interpretacijo vseh dejstev v izbranih individualnih športih v primerjavi s kolektivnimi športi (smučanje in nogomet, plavanje in košarka, atletika in rokomet). Na splošno so Slovenci v športu predvsem individualisti. Drugi del prispevka razmišlja o individualizmu diplomatov in športnikov.

Ein Rückblick auf die WM 1974. VON KLAUS BRINKBÄUMER Torschütze Müller im Endspiel gegen die Niederlande Fan-Protest gegen die Junta in Chile Turnier-Star Johan Cruyff Fans in Uniform bei einem WM-Spiel in Stuttgart Überfluteter Platz in Frankfurt (Deutschland gegen Polen) Niederländische Fans RUHM s gibt diese Wochen in der Kindheit, in denen das Leben Tempo gewinnt, Ein denen sich Welten öffnen; es sind Wochen, nach denen das Leben und die Welt anders sind. Größer und weiter. Es war im Sommer 1974, einem kühlen und ziemlich verregneten Sommer. Es war der Sommer nach Willy Brandts Rücktritt und Helmut Schmidts Kanzlerwahl. Der Sommer der höchsten Sicherheitsstufe, wegen Baader-Meinhof. Der Sommer von Abbas „Waterloo“. Und es wurde der Sommer, in dem Tag für Tag Männer in dunkelblauen Trainingsanzügen mit drei weißen Streifen im Fernsehen kamen, Männer mit langen Haaren, Männer, die Rebellen genannt wurden, weil sie Jaguar fuhren und Discotheken besaßen. Es war jener Sommer, in dem selbst Gerhard „kleines dickes“ Müller aussah wie Ché Guevara. Was für die Väter 1954 war, das wurde für die Söhne 1974. Wer Mitte der sechzi- ger Jahre geboren wurde und nachmittags mit Freunden wie Frank und Uwe auf der Wiese hinterm Haus Fußball spielte auf Tore, die die Väter gezimmert hatten, der erlebte in diesem Sommer seine erste Weltmeisterschaft. Und wer zufällig auch noch in Hiltrup aufwuchs, Vorort der un- gemein mondänen Stadt Münster in West- falen, der musste vor dem Kicken Sonntag für Sonntag mit den Eltern am Steiner See spazieren gehen, über den Parkplatz vom Waldhotel Krautkrämer führte der Weg, am Tennisclub vorbei und einmal herum um den See in 35 Minuten.
