Munich – Last Saturday was a busy day for TSV 1860. Not just for coach Argyrios Giannikis and his team, who suffered their fourth defeat in five league games this season, but also for chairman Robert Reisinger, whose reasons had nothing to do with the 2-3 defeat against promotion contenders Dynamo Dresden.
Reisinger explains: That’s why he had to leave Dresden earlier.
Twenty minutes before the end, President Sechzger said an early farewell at the Grünwalder Stadium. Was the Lion tired of the team’s performance? No, he explained when asked by AZ. “I had a personal follow-up appointment, so I had to leave early,” the 60-year-old said.
In fact, Reisinger says he could have and would have liked to have seen the entire game, but a personal commitment got in the way as kickoff was delayed by about 30 minutes due to a delay in the entrance.
The unexpected date clash was bittersweet for the senior Lions on two counts. He explained why in a social media post. “When I typed Saturday’s game into the app today, I saw that this was the 1,000th football game I’ve watched live since 1973, and 999 of those games were always over 90 minutes,” Reisinger wrote in a screenshot.
Mega Series Ripped: Robert Reisinger Takes It With Humor
And indeed: According to the app, the Lionhead has now watched 1,000 matches live, visiting 140 different stadiums and 13 countries. Now, the series of matches he watched in 90 minutes is broken.
Reisinger takes it humorously. “I promise, if I do 1,000 again, I’ll try to see everyone through to the end. Or will I be able to make up for the 20 minutes I missed on Saturday in the 2006 Berlin quarterfinals, which went to extra time and penalties?”
