The eternal cycle of football

The commercially available Bundesliga season is divided into 34 stages. In the end it always says: the table does not lie. Of course that’s right. However, it is already tending to flunker. In five weeks, for example, FC Augsburg may be before Borussia Dortmund stand. The Swabians would of course deserve that. But that they were really better than BVB – everyone can decide for themselves. But of course it is important what comes out in the end. This unites sport with culinary art. Since some inedible things may be mixed together in the process – if it at the end, nobody will complain.

Those 34 stages can be summarized for six chapters. We are currently in the transition to the final part. At the beginning of every season there are joy and excitement. They result in the recurring sentence that the table would be framework. Always and exclusively pronounced by climbers who intended fate a high opening victory. This is followed by (chapter two) the time in which the table jerks and all those who remain far behind their expectations released the coach in mutual agreement.

Existential character in every duel

Then (chapter three) pull away one to three teams at the top and shortly before the winter break, playful pragmatism begins. Chapter four captivates with continuous coaching and absurd series that form a subordinate line (the FCA and sudden invincibility). In the fifth chapter, a pursuer (Leverkusen) believes that he can still take the track. In the relegation battle, every duel of existential character is awarded. The football offers best entertainment (Bavaria against Dortmund).

Every season is completed with the sixth chapter. If the relegation candidates say that they will fight as long as everything is possible, the season may be considered decisive. The brave Kielers are not far away. The time of the absurd results also follows. The professional sport takes bonds among the amateurs. In which the end of the season do not decide playful qualities about victory or defeat, but the alcohol tolerance. It is different in the Bundesliga. Here it is lust and motivation (can be increased by victory premium). And then everything starts again with the first chapter. An eternal cycle.
