Hated club, hard to handle
Besides blue-white scum, there are not many clubs in Germany that you really have to hate. However, there are still clubs like Wolfsburg who are hated because they would not be anywhere near Bundesliga without some investor standing behind them. The best – or should I better say worst? – example of a club which simply is no club at all but some sort of retort squad is our next opponent, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The use of the founding year of the club should transmit some sort of tradition. However, there simply is none since the club was never important at all – until a rich investor had nothing to do in his spare time and decided to support a club which then needed only 18 years to make it to German Bundesliga.
