Not quite Beckenbauer but close
MUNICH, Mar 7 (Reuters): By starting a new adventure In the United States. Lothar Matthaeus emulates the man he has always revered but never could quite match. Franz Beckenbauer.
No matter how hard he tries. Matthaeus can be regarded only as the greatest German player since the legendary libero, who also tried his luck in the United States by joining Cosmos in 1977.
Wlille Beckenbauer moved to New York to play alongside fellow all-time greats Pele and Carlos Alberto, his confessed admirer will find himself in less glamorous company.
New York-New Jersey Met-roStars, where the 38-year-old veteran will play after sporting the Bayern Munich shirt one last time on Wednesday, are not even front-runners in the US Major League and boast no top players.
After initially saying that he might stay a few years In America. Matthaeus, who has signed a one-year contract, sounded less certain about his long-term plans.
Perhaps afraid he might feel homesick, he said he could return to the Bundesliga after one season with MetroStars. He then said he was considering a lucrative offer from Dubai.
"Maybe I will stay longer in (he United States, maybe I will do something totally different." he said. "Maybe Dubai. I have received a very Interesting offer and former TSV 1860 Munich player Abed! Pele plays there."
Matthaeus was still a teenager when he made his German First Division debut for Borussia Moenchengladbach in 1979.
Five years later he moved to Bayern. He left them in 1988 and headed for Italy but after a four-year spell with Inter Milan, ne came back to the only German club tailored to his measurements.
First as a playmaker, then as a libero, but always in his cherished number 10 shirt, he helped the mighty Bavarian club to six league titles, two German Cups and the 1996 UEFA Cup.
"An important party of my life is coming to an end." he said ahead of his final appearance at Munich's Olympic stadium in Wednesday's ( hampioiis League match against Real Madrid.
"Perhaps there will be a few tears."
His finest hour came in 1990 when, wearing the captain's armband, he led Germany to victory at the World Cup in Italy.
Last month in Amsterdam he became the world's most capped player with his 144th outing for Germany In a 2-1 defeat by the Netherlands.
Then why was he never a German Idol?
A fine player and a true fighter, he never captured the imagination like Beckenbauer, who Invented the libero role, elegantly raclngup the pitch with the ball seemingly glued to his feet.
While Beckenbauer lifted the European Cup three years In succession, from 1974 to 1976. Matthaeus was on the losing side in two finals, in 1987 and 1999.
"Kaiser Franz" was always an automatic choice for the Germany squad but Matthaeus was dropped from the 1996 European championship side and had to sit and watch while the Germans won the title In England.
Berti Vogts, then the head
coach, had decided to give the libero Job to the yqungcr libero Matthias Sammer and entrust the captaincy to a man Matthaeus could never get on with. that other German star of the past decade, Juergen Klinsmann.
If I regret anything, then It s the problems 1 had with Vogts and Klinsmann which made me miss Euro 1996," said Matthaeus. who eventually patched up his differences with Vogts and earned a recall for the 1998 World Cup finals in France.
Often perceived as somewhat arrogant. Matthaeus is few fans' favourite, even in Germany.
"I think that has changed a bit over the last few years," he said.
Indeed, he has mellowed, adopting a more relaxed attitude while showing that his unique footballing skills remained Intact.
He still finds it difficult to be treated seriously off the pitch and lacks the charisma of Beckenbauer, who has won only a few more trophies but a lot more hearts.
1 deserve more respect.* Matthaeus said recently, letting out his frustration.
The man they call 'Der Ewige Lothar" (everlasting Lothar) has a lot to prove still but he can again turn to Beckenbauer for inspiration.
After a frustrating experience with Cosmos. Beckenbauer received a hero's welcome when he returned to Germany, sign-Ing with Hamburg SV in 1980.
He then took on coaching, helping Germany to their World Cup triumph in 1990. and remains the most respected personality in German soccer to this day.
There is hope for Matthaeus but he has a long way to go.
