Is there only one Rudi Völler? Nonsense!

There are Rudi Völler, the ex-professional, world champion and Champions League winner. There is the former sports director and managing director of Bayer Leverkusen. There is the short-term coach of the AS Roma and the team boss, who reached the 2002 World Cup final with the German national team. There are "Rudi Riese", "Rudi Wüterich", "Rudi Nazionale", there is "Ruuuudi" as "Uuuuwe" existed and there are Rudi Völler, the fatherly friend of the players. There are legend Völler and the idol. The father and husband.

A Gassenhauer that he could no longer hear

We learn: There is a lot of Rudi Völlers, not only the one who was once sung so vehemently until he could no longer hear it and asked to put this song on the index at events in which he participated.

This November will be 45 years since the lanky attacker, born in Hessische Hanau, for the first time for the Offenbacher Rudis on goals. Professional at 17 - the path was prescribed and he went consistently. The retail clerk became a striker of world -class format, from the shy boy a world man who is recognized and worshiped, regardless of where he goes.

He is mostly addressed to Frank Rijkaard's spitting attack at the 1990 (International) World Cup round of the World Cup and (national) on his legendary straster towards Waldi Hartmann.

I focused on the important titles.

Rudi Völler

But reducing Rudi to these two events would be unfair. The list of his success is too long and that he did not get a national championship with his clubs, he can get over: "I concentrated on the important titles," he laughs, the world champion of 1990 and Champions League winner with Olympique Marseille from 1993.

When the adventure of Leverkusen began in 1994, this happened because the Völlers wanted to go back to Germany, at some point later to Rome, to the adopted home, which is also his wife Sabrina. That fell flat.

He played for two seasons for Bayer, scored 26 goals in 62 Bundesliga games as a mid -thirties and this obligation can confidently be regarded as one of the brilliant achievements of Reiner Calmund. When the word "sustainability" in German language use did not yet exist, Calmund Völler and his wife persuaded to remain in Leverkusen.

Calmund's large act and a second "Ciao"

A big act of the then manager, who will celebrate pension with many companions on Saturday in the dignified Bayer-Kasino Rudis. Under the motto "Ciao Rudi", the party to Rudi's farewell to active professional football took place in 1996.

Many guests will come who were there back then. The fact that not so many of them are going through until breakfast, you will see how old you have been and that it is time to enjoy life without stress. Rudi Völler plans that.

He always deserves it.
