After attending the successful opening game of the German national team, Klaus Allofs returned to his quarters in Pretoria by Monday morning at 5 a.m. "It was a good performance by our team. But the travel is long at this World Cup," said the Werder manager of his trip to Durban. Allofs also talked to journalists who were on their feet non-stop for 24 hours. Still, Allofs sees his trip to South Africa positively. “I am also here to keep up with contacts and have already talked to Tim Wiese and Mesut Özil personally. The mood is good, especially with Mesut. He was able to show that impressively against Australia,” said Allofs.
The manager, who also met up with German federation president Theo Zwanziger, was split on the subject of the vuvuzelas when asked by WERDER.DE. "Honestly, in Africa it is part of football. But experiencing the highs and lows in our stadiums, the fan songs, the oohs and aahs, I don’t really want to miss that. The acoustics play a big part of the stadium experience, helped by the drama of the game. I cannot really seriously imagine that someone would want to come to Weser Stadium with a vuvuzela. But if they do, it would be better to leave the instrument at the entrance," said Allofs.
