Wontorra supports Kleinfeldt after a breakdown in the Werder game!
Last weekend, an unexpected breakdown during the Sky broadcast of the game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen (4:1) caused quite a stir. In a live broadcast, TV presenter Katharina Kleinfeldt confused Werder player Marco Friedl with Frankfurt's new goalkeeper, Michael Zetterer. This mistake was seen as embarrassing and sparked several reactions in sports reporting. Laura Wontorra, also a TV presenter, took on the situation to encourage Kleinfeldt. “Mistakes are human and can happen to anyone,” said Wontorra during the “Sport Bild” Awards in Hamburg, where she publicly commented on the incidents. These words are intended to help the colleague get over the incident as quickly as possible, as t-online.de reports.
Kleinfeldt himself described the mix-up as unpleasant and annoying, but hopes that Friedl can also smile about the situation. She had mixed up the player and Zetterer after the two had previously swapped jerseys. Wontorra, who is known for her sporting contributions, was at the stadium and initially did not notice the incident, but expressed solidarity with her colleague and emphasized that such mistakes can happen to men and women alike. It remains to be hoped that Kleinfeldt can soon put the incident behind him, which [zeit.de also picks up on](https://www.zeit.de/news/2025-08/25/verwechslung-wontorra-wuenscht-kollegin-schnelles-ab Haken).
The role of the mass media
In times of mass media coverage of sporting events, the responsibility of journalists becomes particularly important. Mass media are numerous means of communication that shape our society and often set the agenda. Sport has established itself as particularly important content and raises questions about the responsibility of reporting. Critical discussions on issues such as doping or inadequate reporting quality are essential. The relationship between sport and media is characterized by mutual dependencies, which is important for both medical professionals and sports organizations, as sport-nachgedacht.de notes.
The bottom line is that the quality of sports reporting can vary greatly between different media. The challenge lies in the responsibility that arises for both the mass media and the sport itself. Mistakes like Kleinfeldt's are constant companions in the world of live reporting and make it clear that behind every game there can be not only tension, but also human error.
