Farewell, Meise!
By: Anna |When it comes to players taking their leave from the Bundesliga, this season all the focus is, understandably, on Oliver Kahn. His goodbye-tour through the stadiums of the league was watched with great interest and the public attention will take a while to ebb away.
But there are other players leaving. They may not have won [...]
Hope is our enemy… or not?
