BAYERN FAMILY
FC BAYERN IS DIFFERRMAL RENT TO NORT CLUBS . ITILY ’ S A REAL FAMI
His home , says Sammy Kuffour , is Bayern . He returned to Ghana primarily for business reasons . knocked again : “ Tomorrow is the most important day of your life ! The whole of Africa is behind you !“ Kuffour is still impressed today : When a character like that tells you something like that before a game , you ‘ ll believe anything that person says , and he believes that German football needs those kind of characters again . The sun is fading and the last rays reflect off Kuffour ‘ s pool , which is watched over by a statue of the Virgin Mary . When his youngest daughter drowned in 2003 , FC Bayern organised a private jet for him within a few hours and the pilots waited for several days in Accra until Kuffour was ready to fly back to Munich . It was a tragedy they all suffered through in far-off Germany . It took a long time until “ Mama “ Potthoff ‘ s tears dried , and Hoeneß , Rummenigge , Gerland and his teammates did everything they could to make life easier for their Sammy again . Kuffour relates this sad episode in brief terms , “ because I am happy that I have three children , and because this story shows that FC Bayern is different to other clubs . It ‘ s a real family .“ The television on the terrace is now showing the Champions League ; Juventus vs . Ajax . But Kuffour wants to take a shower first , his tie is scratchy and he bids us farewell . He takes the weißbier glass with the Bayern logo back into his house .
