The whining about Yann Sommer is almost unbearable

The whining is almost unbearable. Everyone throws themselves into the breach for the sweet Yann Sommer, for the dream son-in-law of the nation. Everyone would want to hold his hand, caress his curls, and put a Teflon jacket on him to protect him during all this toxic hostility. So that this bottomless brutal criticism reverberates.

It is inhumane, this pressure that presses on our favorite Yann, the country groans.

The only one who doesn’t cry about the bad, bad criticism of the German media about his person is Sommer himself. He knows very well that he voluntarily stood in the huge window of FC Hollywood. He also knows from his experience that such Bavarian slashing and stabbing is part of the football business in the entertainment industry. It was never any different, especially at Bayern.

And Sommer also knows that taker skills are in the millions in his monthly salary and are generously compensated. If he wants a secluded, quiet family life, then he should apply for a job in Nivea’s accounting department.

Of course, it would be useful for a world-class goalkeeper to be a few inches taller. But you can’t choose that. The physical requirements are there.

No one knows this better than Markus Schüepp. Schüepp is my favorite goalkeeper in the 1970s, when National League A match summaries are televised. He looks like John Lennon. Or like a teacher in a village school. He is the first and only goalkeeper in professional football history to wear glasses. He cannot tolerate contact lenses. And so one of Ati Zigi’s predecessors is standing in the goal of FC St. Gallen with his round glasses. And because he is not always flawless, he is sometimes open to criticism for an annual salary of CHF 30,000.

When it rains, Schüepp hangs a cloth in the goal so that he can wipe the soggy and fogged glasses dry when people come to help him. “The rain was never the problem. Rather the floodlight reflected in the lenses,” Schüepp told the “St. Gallen newspaper.

The trained machinist, who also worked as a stain processor after his career in St. Gallen, has never complained about his fate. But bravely dived for the balls. He was the first-choice goalkeeper in St Gallen for six years and won the 1978 national cup against GC.

Schüepp has never received an offer from FC Bayern. He was also spared a few headlines in the newspaper “Bild”. He probably would have accepted it. Knowing that after his career he could have lived a life of luxury.

Smaller or taller, farsighted or nearsighted: a good keeper is always a good keeper.
