"The reporter in the first is asked..."
It was difficult to find the right words after 1. FC Saarbrücken's cup coup over FC Bayern. ARD commentator Florian Naß mixed things up.
Saarbrücken - You have prepared something! 1. FC Saarbrücken not only caused a stir on the pitch on Wednesday by sensationally knocking FC Bayern out of the DFB Cup 2-1. But also in the seconds afterwards, when the players high-fived each other. After the final whistle, not just any generic pop song or “We Are The Champions” by Queen echoed through the Ludwigsparkstadion. But a special track that someone in the Saarbrücken catacombs probably played with relish and played over the stadium loudspeakers.
We are talking about “scandal in the restricted area”. Every child already knows the intro. Like the first lines: “There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich, but brothels have to go.” It was very quickly apparent that it was not the original. At the latest with lines like “The FCS was well trained and Thomas Müller was smeared” – a new addition in Saarbrücken style!
ARD commentator mixes up Munich Freedom and Spider Murphy Gang
The original song comes from the Spider Murphy Gang from Munich, which is probably known to most music enthusiasts far beyond the Free State. But not ARD commentator Florian Naß (55). “Scandal in the restricted area or the cup in Saarland, you can rephrase that,” he said, summing up: “It’s almost a bit of a mockery that Munich Freedom is now being broadcast.” This is followed by a “Ho ho ho ho” from ARD. commentator.
But TV man Naß also received ridicule himself afterwards. Because he assigned the song to the wrong band, it doesn't come from the Münchener Freiheit, but from the Spider Murphy Gang. Despite all their care, journalists can sometimes make mistakes, especially in such a turbulent moment. Nevertheless: The support of the Bavarian spectators in particular after the record champions' exit was increased even further by the fact that two Munich legend bands were mixed up. This was also evident at X (formerly Twitter).
“Hey commentator, it’s not Munich Freedom, it’s Spider Murphy Gang,” writes a follower, adding an insult that we don’t want to repeat here. “This is the Spider Murphy Gang, not the Münchner Freiheit, Mr. Naß,” writes another music enthusiast. Another scoffs: “The best part was the commentator who was amused by the fact that they were now playing Münchener Freiheit when the Spider Murphy Gang was playing.” Another commented: “Scandal in the restricted area. Still from Spider Murphy Gang!”
ARD commentator Florian Naß in focus after Bayern's embarrassment
One user writes ironically: “Who didn't love it in their youth, scandal in the restricted area of Munich Freedom.” Another marks the sports show in his note along with “in case you want to correct yourself”. A user laughs with tears using emojis when he writes: “The reporter in the first is asked to find out about the difference between the Munich Freedom and the Spider Murphy Gang!” tz columnist Jörg Heinrich generally said Naß did not have a good performance as well as one Proximity to the underdog: “Absurd comment from Saarbrücken press spokesman Florian Naß. The sports show should address this internally. But it fits the poop evening. And he can't tell the Spider Murphy Gang from the Munich Freedom Gang. Kasper.”
Strictly speaking, it wasn't the Spider Murphy Gang either. The mocking version comes from the band Schaafa Sämpf and is called “Pokal im Ludwigspark”. It was already published in advance on Soundcloud and also contains lines like, “Pfüati Bayern! Over, over! Do you still know Mr. Nagelsmann? He grins and then celebrates.” As the keyboard player explains to IPPEN.MEDIA, they almost used an even more delicate song. (lin)
