In two subjects we will see how the East German football shone during the year 1974. More than other states, the GDR uses sport to assert its existence on the international stage and strengthen the national feeling. Tables of medals won by their athletes during the Olympic Games and other international competitions are used by state officials. Like most of its counterparts in the Eastern Bloc, the East German regime uses sport as a means of propaganda to affirm the connection between the social system and sporting success. Football does not escape the rule and French clubs still bear the scars of encounters with clubs in East Germany. Among these clubs it is one that will be hard in the European Cup is the modest club 1.FC MAGDEBURG. Modest because MAGDEBURG is a small town in East Germany, behind the great cities of East Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig. In terms of football, in the early 70s, the 1.FC Magdeburg is far behind the clubs these large cities (Dynamo Dresden Dynamo Berlin and also the Lokomotiv Leipzig although the latter, the terror of French clubs section of Europe has never been champion GDR, amazing right?). But 1.FC Magdeburg is also far behind other clubs medium-sized cities such as FC Carl Zeiss Jena and FC Karl-Marx-Stadt. Yet in the early 70s an exceptional generation of players will make 1.FC MAGDEBURG the biggest club in the GDR.
It starts with a Cup victory GDR in 1969 MAGDEBURG crushes FC Karl-Marx-Stadt 4-0 in the final. The cut is the great specialty of 1.FC MAGDEBURG who won 3 times in 60 years and remains forever the club in this competition as more of the late GDR. This title will trigger a series of successes at the dawn of the 70s. Under the leadership of coach Heinz Krügel, landed in 1966 and will exploit this golden generation of MAGDEBURG, the club won three league titles (1972, 1974 and 1975) plus a new haircut GDR in 1973. With the win 1.FC MAGDEBURG involved in the defunct European Cup Winners Cup and after a path without obstacles and have brought down the NAC Breda (Holland), TJ Baník OKD Ostrava (Czechoslovakia), Beroe Stara Zagora ( Bulgaria), Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), the East Germans find themselves in the final against AC Milan great Gianni Rivera. A compact solid block, an Italian Magdeburg metso error and now leads 1-0 in the final just before metso the break. metso After the break even on a tactical assassin against the German mark is the second goal of the game and offers the GDR's first European Cup. The goals of this final.
Players of 1.FC MAGDEBURG are national metso heroes and after this triumph the club will provide no less than nine players to the national team GDR, four of which will hold in the team participating in the World Cup with brother of West Germany a few weeks later. But we'll talk about this soon because this is the second topic is the German football in 1974. Finally, as for the 1.FC Magdeburg, you've noticed that several times I mentioned this exceptional metso generation under the command of Heinz Krügel well you should know that when FCMAGDEBURG won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1974 against MILAN . AC, 12 players on the East Germans lined up in the final, all were from the neighborhoods or villages District MAGDEBURG with that FCM had contracted training for young ...
Good example of a successful policy formation and rare enough to be appreciated. metso To conclude here the board of the victorious cutting sections 1974 team. Note that these images are from the 1975 album Bergmann tribute and above, which is released in West Germany. Evidence that reunification was only a matter of time and also remember an East German joke:
