Curiosities at Werder: Horst Steffen about Aura Farmer and youth language
Bremen, Deutschland - Today it was finally time: Horst Steffen, born in 1969, faced the press as the new coach of SV Werder Bremen. After the separation from Ole Werner, the first press conference became an experience of a special kind. The reporter of Bremen Next, the youth offer of Radio Bremen, surprised the coach with questions in modern youth slang, which provided some amusing moments. Among other things, she wanted to know, among other things, whether one could sign an "Aura Farmer" and what you could do with a player like Woltemade in order to be able to "flex" privately. Steffen couldn't help but react to the questions with a tortured smile, and joked that he had to translate the questions before he can answer. Interestingly, he had to put up with his training period with his training period in some terms, such as "Delulu". Sometimes football is just not just a predictable game.
But the reactions to the press conference were mixed. The fans were irritated and sometimes found the questions "cringe". Bremen Next reported on Instagram and pointed out that there was simply no understanding to many of these questions. Other media representatives, such as the sports show, also brought a little light into the dark by defending the funny attitude of the questions. Werder's stadium spokesman, Arnd Zeigler, only commented on the situation with a "Phew". The communication style in football develops quickly, and Steffen will have to learn in the coming time that the youth language will find more and more.
linguistic sensitization in football
The focus is on the importance of language in football apart from Steffen's press conference. A current project is called "Sprachkick4you (Th)!" And has set itself the goal of sensitizing young people about football for linguistic sensitization and non -discriminatory communication. This joint project by Kickin!, Learning Sort Stadion e.V., DFL Foundation and Aktion Mensch provides teaching materials that should address both specialists and young people.The project reacts to the normality of insulting and discriminatory statements in society and relies on workshops that can be carried out in schools nationwide. Realistic examples from football are used here to create low -threshold access. The initiators emphasize the importance of diversity -sensitive language and the early sensitization of young people for the problems related to discrimination. As early as the age of 14, workshops can be participated in various learning locations such as Braunschweig, Dortmund and Munich.
In times when the understanding of language and social sensitivity are becoming increasingly important, the role of coaches such as Horst Steffen and media representatives is becoming increasingly important. While Steffen will have to expand his understanding of the youth language in the coming time, the attention is at the same time drawing attention to the need to promote respectful and inclusive communication in football.
How this change will develop remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: in Bremen there is a lot of potential for a positive change, both on and next to the square.
