Anyone who has seen Heiko Vogel on the sidelines of FC Basel knows that the redhead can turn into a volcano and erupt from time to time. At the end of January he arrives again, in the regional league game of his Gladbach U23 against SV Bergisch Gladbach, he completely loses his nerves, releasing a discriminatory sentence in the direction of the assistant referee when leaving the field of play. In terms of content, according to “Spiegel” it was about the presence of women on the soccer field, which Bild writes that Vogel had said that “women simply have absolutely nothing to do on a soccer field.”
“This sentence discriminates against all women”
Now the players of the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga (around 600 women) are running furious, they publish a letter to the German Football Federation (DFB), they demand consequences. Reason: As “punishment” for his madness, Vogel received, among other things, the requirement to carry out six training sessions for a women’s or women’s team from his own club. “This sentence discriminates against all women in sports and especially in soccer,” the letter says. Vogel’s behavior is “much more than unsportsmanlike, but offensive and discriminatory.”
On March 9, the sports court fined the former FCB coach for unsportsmanlike conduct, among other things, with a fine of 1,500 euros and an indoor penalty for two championship matches. In addition, Vogel was ordered to conduct six training sessions for a women’s or women’s team at his club by June 30. Interpreting this requirement as a punishment provokes redheads. Forming women or girls is not a punishment, the association is fighting sexism with sexism, so to speak, so to speak.
Vogel apologized
However, the Vogel’s association clearly rejects this interpretation. Gladbach told Spiegel that the training was not an initiative of the association. “Neither Borussia nor Heiko Vogel see this measure as a punishment, the club has suggested including this in the sentence as an apology. By the way, no sanction is mentioned in the association’s judgment on this point. Such measures are not even included as sanctions in the association’s sanctions catalog. “
When former FCB defender Markus Steinhöfer hit his own crossbar ten years ago in the legendary Champions League match against Manchester United (2-1), FCB coach Heiko Vogel said after the match: “In the days good does it. ” For such sayings, the palatinate was shortly after nominated as the winner of the Pala de Humor Arosa, but did not obtain the award. A short time later, Vogel won the double with FCB, having previously lost 7-0 in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. After a poor start to the 2012/13 season, Vogel was fired and replaced by Murat Yakin. Through Bayern junior, where he once coached world champions Thomas Müller and Mats Hummels, Vogel ends up at Sturm Graz and KFC Uerdingen. The 45-year-old is now training the Gladbach Under23.
For this reason, the club considers the training units themselves legitimate. “It is important for Heiko Vogel to use this measure to document that he has no reservations about women’s football, and in this way he would like to apologize to the women and girls who play football in his own club for their behavior. This is welcomed by the association. “
Vogel himself sees his mistake, explains his madness from the excitement of the match and apologizes to the referee. He accepted the apology. (Red)
