World champion with Germany in 1990 and Ballon d’Or the same year , the first to obtain this recognition with the Inter shirt, this time Matthaus really said enough. But first, he had one last wish to fulfill despite the many, many successes. With over 750 appearances between Borussia Monchengladbach, Bayern Munich and Inter and as many as 150 tokens with Die Mannschaft, the charismatic midfielder was missing only one game.
A game of affection and love: playing one last time with the club of his adolescence, the team from which he took off his wings in the late seventies, FC Herzogenaurach .
The 57-year-old has closed the circle of his sporting life, returning to his roots: on Sunday 13 May he wore the captain’s armband and the dark blue shirt, crouched down for the “usual” group photo before the opening whistle and played 50 minutes in the hosts’ 3-0 win against SpVgg Huttenbach-Simmelsdorf. In front of a thousand fans, in the last match of the Bavarian Landesliga, sixth category in the German football pyramid .
From the youth teams to the first team, passing through the under 17 and under 19, Lothar Matthaus owes everything to the Herzogenaurach club who, in 1979, agreed to sell the promising midfielder to Gladbach. From there a unique rise that led him to win (you will forgive us for the long list) seven Meisterschale , three Dfb-Pokal and a German Super Cup with Bayern Munich, a Scudetto and an Italian Super Cup with Inter, a American championship with the team of New York Metro Stars, two Uefa Cups, a European Cup with Germany and the 1990 World Cup.
The initiative was supported by Puma, technical sponsor of training, and who founded his headquarters in Herzogenaurach 70 years ago. The city 200 kilometers from Monaco, in fact, is famous for having seen both Adidas and Puma born from the same family rib . A divided country, made up of jealousies and dislikes to the point of being nicknamed “the city of folded necks” : a person, before greeting and starting a conversation with another person, checked which shoes he was wearing.

But he must resign himself: although he is the record holder for the number of participations in a World Cup (five together with the Mexican Antonio Carbajal and the Italian Gianluigi Buffon) and the player with the most absolute appearances in the final stages of the world championship, well 25 , he is not was included by coach Joachim Low in thesquad list for Russia 2018 .
