There stood this older gentleman in the vicinity of the Five-Meter line, hands in the pockets, was a wool cap on his head, and if someone's mind be brummelndes Schwäbisch, Rainer Widmayer. He said more to himself, "Now hau nei" than the Iliad, the twelve-year-old in the knee-length red pants and the white Jersey. Ilias knew anyway what he had to do. Start-up, the shot, the Ball curled in the goal net. Behind the power-lit digital numbers. 66 there. With 66 kilometres per hour, Ilias had blasted the Ball into the goal. Not bad, Widmayer nodded appreciatively. Then Tobias shot, also twelve years old, this time illuminated "79", and Widmayer, the assistant coach of Hertha BSC, nodded appreciatively. Shortly afterwards Vincent entered, also 79 miles an hour, also twelve years old, and again nodded Widmayer. "You're a good shot," he said. Well, yeah, but Vincent, in his orange Jersey a note had unfortunately. "The Problem," he said, "is that I'm a goalie."

He plays at a D-youth of Victoria Tempelhof-Lichterfelde, so he had just seen a home game.Because the pros of Hertha BSC began just 20 meters away - in the stadium Lichterfelde with your warm-up exercises. Kieztraining of the Bundesliga on East Prussia dam, the home address of Victoria Tempelhof-Lichterfelde. Celebrities, professionals on the Basis of, once again. Hertha was in Marie's village and in Mahlsdorf, so now on this Monday afternoon in Lichterfelde. A little Show for the Fans. The grandstand was full, even at the edge of the field, the interested parties were. And, of course, you should not see merely how highly paid professionals to push the Ball, it had to be a total work of art, otherwise it would have been boring.

The program is a three-way battle. Shot with the light measuring system, football cones on nine cones and an obstacle course. For each Exercise, there was points, depending on performance. Who had all three of the Station the Ball, received a total score and went on with his piece of paper to a table, upon which a variety of small gifts with Hertha reference layers. Lanyards, key chains, blue balls with Hertha print. And behind the table sat on the left, a young Hertha-employees, the exhibited documents. "What's your name" he asked now a boy. - "Ivano." The dad had an Addendum: "Ivano v." Ivano had 180 points, which was documented on the deed, then Ivano, was a gift to choose, where this time a colleague of Hertha sat. Tara was next at the table, about eight years old, she had 120 points, she grabbed a key chain. Meanwhile, the Hertha-professionals in the stabilisation and stretching exercises.

"The autograph from Davie Selke is most important to me"

But many did not in the queue in front of the wide tent in the area of the corner flag. There are four Hertha-professionals had not taken place, the mittrainierten. Left Davie Selke sat a hat with a beige base ball, a mountain of autographs. Mirko wanted a Selfie with him. Mirko, twelve years old, also players in Victoria, was waiting with two black pennants in the Hand, until it was my turn. The second pennant he had taken for a friend, Mirko had to both sign it. "The autograph from Davie Selke is most important to me," he said somewhat nervous. A Minute later, he stood in front of the Hertha-professional, had with him his father's photograph, and looked proud of his pennant. Then he got three more autographs. Kai Pielarczyk, Mirko's father, was pleased. He has a Hertha-duration card, he found it good that the professionals come to the base. "They give you as a Fan, a proximity to the club, and for the children, the professionals are even more of a role model." His son, he had sent years ago to the Hertha-summer camp.

Hertha-professionals were at game 7 against 2, you had a lot of fun, and at the edge of the Fans took pictures. After that, a casual game on the half court, Pal Dardai, Hertha-Trainer, followed by some of the talents that do not belong to the professional squad. A lively game, without the dogged ambition. The Fans should get something going, the Ball ran, there was nice moves and many goals. Meanwhile, interviewed a Hertha-Moderator, a representative of Viktoria. Nice questions, nice answers, the petition of Victoria was not a big issue, and here harmony was, instead of drilling questions. The most sensitive issue that was raised, was the turf in the stadium Lichterfelde. From the optimal condition, the Green is far away. "How satisfied are you with the lawn?", the Moderator asked. Well, the Victorian representative of the wall a little, then he said rather behavior: "He could be better."

But the interested is now not great, the Fans had fun, even if cold Wind was blowing, and eventually rain drops fell. Suddenly, the stadium speaker announced the twelve names of the children. They had pulled the jackpot this afternoon. All the children who participated in the three-way battle, or had logged in to the Kids club, came in a large pot. Then, twelve names were drawn. This winner of the space speaker called now. They were allowed to play against the pros. Of course, in mixed Teams of professionals played with children in a team. And on the edge of the proud parents and got out their Smartphones. Videos were taken, photos shot.

On the other hand, in the tent, signed the Hertha-professionals still. But not for all. Ten meters in front of the tent Iliad, the twelve-year-old who had shot the Ball with 66 kilometres per hour into the grid. He looked at the waiting Fans rather undecided. A Autograph? Not for him. What's the point? "I don't know of one Hertha-player." He's playing in a youth for Victoria and shoots there on a regular basis goals. That's enough for him completely.
