NClouds of mist descended onto the Munich football pitch like an impressive special effect. The floodlights highlighted the white clouds like in one of those Edgar Wallace films, in which, in addition to fog, there are also owl calls, doom calls and squeaky doors. And the scoreboard also seemed scary. 67 minutes had been played and Mainz 05 actually led 2-1 against FC Bayern. One or two Munich fans had already been mentally prepared to see the monk with the whip or the hunchback from Soho striding through the arena in view of a game that was frozen in the cold. But then it was the extremely friendly and not at all hunchbacked Korean Jae-Sung Lee who slid across the grass on his knees after his goal and enjoyed a score that he definitely didn’t see coming.
