Hertha BSC – Fabian Reese: Come into the park, people

Last weekend there was a strangeness in the second Bundesliga: the footballer Fabian Reese scored a wonderful goal, with the weak left foot, high -precision from a half -right position, unsustainable to the left interior post, so that the goalkeeper of the opposing 1, fc Köln did not even try to do something – and in direct connection to this important, eliminating goal was The footballer Fabian Reese then cheered who seemed to convey something like grateful surprise: With waving hands on both suddenly waving, he ran towards his fans who traveled fans of the second division Hertha BSC, wagging like a seabird chick that the parents pushed from the rock for flight purposes, but also as if everyone wanted to say: »OHAUAHA! I was really lucky. “

For the footballer Fabian Reese, this moment unmistakably means a turn, not sporty, because it has been at its own level for years (if you take the level of the second division as a benchmark). At least as much as as a athlete, this top football player in the wrong film, perhaps out of boredom, has played in the center as a media phenomenon.

Since the Kiel boy hired the capital club in the summer of 2023, he has fed the public with stories like before him, and he has delivered the popular media goods “authenticity” and “down-to-earth”, at most exceeded by Bundesliga authenticus Jackson Irvine, the captain of FC St. Pauli, who has long been staging ” Unique Selling Point. One of the oddities of the media world is that the pose – some vague pose – is enough to be thought to be “attitude”. Fabian Reese debuted as a media artist in his first Berlin weeks by showing shaved temples like every third Dösbaddel student-and, so, the knowledge that fingernails painted!

The painting of fingernails – in Berlin, of All Places – was negotiated as a tremendous heroism in the media, and, yes, disclaimer: the author of these lines sometimes also paints the nails, and a better world would be one in which no one was interested. Hundreds of millions of people paint their nails, what should be so great about it now? The media master Fabian Reese recognized the opportunity and said: »I am wearing a different hairstyle and nail polish. I am not the prototype of a footballer. I stand up for my opinion and my values. “

What opinion? Which values? Then nobody asked. Instead, he was able to tell the “world” which mantras he and his girlfriend Jojo use in the daily routine. Question: “An example of a mantra, please?” Reese: “My girlfriend and I say: show who you are, be yourself, and you can do anything. If you say that, that’s a big step. Suddenly you create things that you never thought possible. You just have to dare. ”This is how you make ahead in life! Despite all the mantras, the courage was not enough for the famous fingernails. »Painting is a filigree work, I can’t do that myself. Jojo has painted my nails since the first day. “

Sometimes he wears painted nails. This is a heroic deed for the media.

Said it and was on the way to the next happening. Sometimes he went to the flea market, perhaps the most Berliny for a Kieler, which can be imagined, and had full success. The boulevard newspapers in the capital, enthusiastically reported on his flea market, Reese gave sustainability tips in between: he collects Hertha retro streaks with which he likes to walk through the mason park. Seriously? This is in a city where all the celebrities are walked into, with both sides try to maintain discretion, an astonishing appearance.

As a footballer, Fabian Reese has unfortunately been prevented since July because they broke him in a friendly game in Cottbus. While his team had to torture themselves through the league without their star, Reese perfected his skills as a major authenticity. Hundreds of thousands of followers said one afternoon about Instagram: he and Jojo would now chill a little, in the Lietzenseepark in Charlottenburg. The Berlin police fell out of all clouds and sent three team cars, hundreds of Hertha fans celebrated the forgotten institution of the “artistic aura” by respectfully around Fabi and Jojo, filming him or carefully asked something from time to time.

After this euphoric highlight, Reese then turned out to be mentally mentally: In an uncontrolled attack of self-marketing, he launched a T-shirt, 35 euros, motive: Olympic Stadium, Fabian Reese, Fabian Reese, Fabian Reese. The dates of the next Hertha games stood backwards, with Reese on the usual spelling of the common spelling.

And it became autumn around him. Even the Berlin fans, who are not a little bit strange, noticed the T-shirt negatively, presumably because it was done without the slightest hint of self-irony who always belongs to Berlin. Nobody had told that to Kiel. Reese has now been generated in general, the “RBB” was strictly: “Reese adopted things that have not yet been entitled to him in the club after only one year – and now wants to benefit monetarily.”

Reese apologized and became a bit quieter, with the desolate state of the team still pushed him back into the foreground: When does Reese come back? Can he still shoot Hertha to climb? Can he save Hertha from relegation? Does he stay with Hertha? He has been at the start again for a few weeks now, and he leaves no doubt on the lawn and on the microphone that the team revolves around him, Hertha revolves around him, that Berlin and therefore the entire well -known universe turn around him. He always states that he is going and inspires and strikes everyone else, not playing a game without cheering on the Hertha fans with wild gestures to cheer on, and again now, in Cologne, Fabian Reese and his dream goal has forced the rudder and showed the team to the away win. Only when you saw him waving his wings in running and cheering, one thought about it: Hm that Fabian Reese none at all correct Embarrassing appearances have been achieved lately. And that this new gesture, how should one say: almost something like humility radiates. Humility before fate? The values? Before the physics that is subject to every ball? Hemut before what, the common football folklore, is greater than any kicker and every fan-the club?

It would be well thought out.
