Days in Italy help Matthaeus mature
BONN. Sept 18: Nobody need tell Lothar Matthaeus that there is a very thin line between glory and disaster tn soccer. He has learned all about it in the past two years, reports Reuter.
In 1990. the German expe rienced the biggest moment of his career when he lifted the World Cup trophy for his country amongst deafening celebrations- in Rome's Olympic Stadium.
Last June, white the Germans were preparing to contest the finals of the European Champtonship, the diminutive midfielder lay on a treatment bench struggling to recover from a knee Injury that threatened to end his career In his early 30s.
The contrasting experiences have left their mark on Matthaeus as he prepares to return to action, after a fivemonth layoff, for his new club Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday following his move from Internazlonale Milan.
The 31-year-old German captain paints a dark picture of being down and out In the Italian First Division, the richest and most glamorous league in the world.
Matthaeus was a hero in Milan when he inspired Inter to the 1989 Italian title and the 1991 UEFA Cup. But his expe rience of being discarded because he was Injured forced him to quit the country and return home.
The Injury opened my eyes about Italian football. When a player Is injured or no longer can produce the right form, he is thrown away,” Matthaeus said.
"I don’t have a bad conscience (about the way 1 left Inter). The club did nothing at all for me for four month*. Then I realised that as far as Inter were concerned, I was Just rubbish."
After four year* at Bayem when he guided them to three consecutive German league titles, Matthaeus left Bavaria fn 1988 for a lucrative contract with Inter.
After guiding the Milan club to the league title In his first season, he produced some brilliant performance* in the 1990 World Cup, many of them
in his adopted north Italian city
But when Matthaeus un-derwent knee surgery last season many began to doubt
whether he would be able to return to his best and lead the nattonal team again.
It is great credit to Matthaeus s inborn determina-
tion that he has been able to recover so quickly.
"Many said that a 30year-old is finished when he gets a serious injury like that. But I knew I was still ambitious and said to myself that I should do everything to get back to the performances that everybody remembers me for," he said.
His return to fitness Is good news for German national team coach Berti Vogts as he prepares a team to defend the World Cup in the United States in 1994.
Despite reaching the final at the European Championship, Germany missed Matthaeus's inspiration in midfield. Vogts near really found a successful replacement despite his experiments with Matthias Sammer, Andy Moeller and Stefan Effenberg.
Matthaeus is only 10 caps away from equalling Franz Beckenbauer's record of 103 appearances for his country. It was Beckenbaur's role as vice president at Bayern that helped to lure Matthaeus back to Munich.
"Munich has also been my love. I never lost contact with Franz Beckenbauer, (business manager) UH Hoeness and some of the players,” he said." Of course. I won't score three goals in my first match. But the old Lothar Matthaeus will soon return."
After a disastrous last season when they could finish
• only IOth. Bayern will be looking to Matthaeus to help them continue their superb start to the season. Bayem, who play Wattenscheid on Saturday. top the league with 10 points from five games.
Matthaeus. who trained as a home-fumishtng* fitter before he took up soccer, is better suited to deal with the pres sure than he was In his wild, younger days when he had a reputation for talking a lot but saying very little of substance
Matthaeus, whose girlfriend Ixilita recently gave birth to a son, said his experiences tn Italy had helped him to mature.
"You mature with age J see many things very differently now I would have got more experience In Germany, too but the Italian mentality helped me to stop seeing ev erythlng so narrowly and have more fun doing things," he said
