County – It dawns slowly in Mindelheim, as Felix Pichler puts the football on the penalty spot – and rightly so- under the enchanted Gaze of 600 spectators. You have seen up to this point in a thrilling play-off game promotion to the national League between VfR Garching and FC Sonthofen. After 90 minutes, it was 1 stood:1, and since the extension, no further goals were scored, you must now decide the penalty shoot-out on this June evening in the year of 2011.

"Several experienced players have chickened out and did not want to compete," recalls Daniel Weber, then a coach in Garching. So Felix Pichler ran the latest VfR-Kicker on the lawn needs. His shot which the goalkeeper parried, while the remaining nine Shooters show no nerves. The Rest is boundless joy in Sonthofen and bottomless disappointment in Garching. "That was already shooting a pretty heavy penalty," says Daniel Weber today. "These are experiences that stay with you in memory."

And it experiences the footballers and Fans are up to 50 years ago, denied remained. It was after the final whistle, as well as one or more extensions in a draw, so either a repetition, it was agreed the game or the winner by lot. Unforgettable is about the "coin toss of Rotterdam" 1965: After the quarter-final of the European Cup between Liverpool and 1.

With a flaming plea, he convinced the present, to which Bavaria introduced in the season 1970/1971 the penalty shoot-out. In the result, DFB, UEFA, and in 1976 also took on the FIFA the new mode.

The first major tournament that was decided by the chalk point was the 1976 European Championships in Yugoslavia – as Uli Hoeness his penalty kick in the Belgrade night sky chased. Since then, the forest's invention has written countless dramas: Time in the Large, such as in the Finale Dahoam FC Bayern in 2012, lost against Chelsea; and changes in the Small – like a year before in Mindelheim, where the VfR Garching was scraping so on the climb over. Her former Coach, Daniel Weber knows the thrill of a penalty shootout from three perspectives – as a coach, goalie and shooter.

"I pay as little as possible on the goalie," says the 26-Year-old. "I find me a corner and try to shoot the Ball, and placed there." If he puts the Ball on the chalk point, rightly, feel he is "never a special pressure," says Riglewski. "In the meantime, the Routine is."

this has been missing in 2011, perhaps the young Garching, Felix Pichler, Daniel Weber, but then, as now, in protection. Anyway, the Drama of Mindelheim not have a negative effect on the Psyche of the Teams: in the following year, the VfR made the ascent, and later went on high in the Regionalliga.
