Inappropriate for the moment
It was all visibly uncomfortable for the players. So they quickly retreated to the cabin wing. It was just a surreal event, not at all appropriate for the moment. Outside there was celebration, inside the players were angry about their defeat.
Or on Saturday evening at Schalke: S04 is promoted to the Bundesliga and again there is the Platzsturm. Only in the arena at Schalke is there such a thing with space storms, because between the lawn and the stands it goes down several meters into a concrete ditch. So many supporters have risked serious injury trying to get onto the field.
Dramatic scenes at Schalke
And while the celebrations took place on the lawn, dramatic scenes played out at the bottom of the stands. In the Schalke fan block, numerous people were squeezed against the balustrade by crowds of fans pushing after them. Can’t imagine what could have happened there.
The Platzsturm is no longer just about spontaneity or the magic of the moment of the greatest possible joy about a success. My feeling: something has been wrong here for a long time.
