This news from Belgium leaves you amazed. Affected: Ex-Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt.
There are also stories in football that amaze you. All you need to do is look at Belgium. Florian Kohfeldt, former coach of Werder Bremen, has been the coach of KAS Eupen since last summer. And in this role he now has to embark on a strange journey with his club.
Last Sunday, the game in the Belgian league against Molenbeek had to be canceled because the home team’s fans caused the game to be stopped five minutes before the end of the game when the score was 1-0 for Eupen – due to persistent firecrackers being thrown.
But anyone who thought that the game would be counted for Eupen won at the green table – far from it. Because according to Belgian league rules the game must be continued. This means that on Wednesday both teams will play the remaining five minutes without spectators.
And here it comes: Kohfeldt and Eupen have to travel 130 kilometers for these five minutes. In addition, there is the rule that the players from Sunday do not have to be on the pitch, but both coaches can reassemble their team. Only suspended and substituted players from game one may not be fielded.
