Wynrs NZ
received an exclusive invitation to take part in the world
famous Aarau Masters 2009 (age group 1998.) The tour
started early February with a stopover
at Hong Kong Disneyland. The football action proceeded with
a trip to Munich.
The two year unbeaten Wynrs team got a footballing lesson
from the mighty Bayern Munich U-11’s at the first
team training centre on the “Sebenerstr”.
Despite the 13-0 hammering (8v8) the boys were very
fortunate to play as all other academy games were cancelled
due to snow and minus 3 temperatures.

The
following day Wynrs were treated to a personal invitation
from Bayern head coach Juergen Klinsmann. We were the only
visitors allowed to watch the training session of the first
team. At least 300 fans were waiting outside the
Sebenerstrasse for a glimpse of the superstars. After
training the Wynrs boys got their photo taken with many of
the Bayern stars as well as autographs: Schweinsteiger,
Klose (German national player Miroslav promised the Kiwis 2
goals the following day), Donovan (USA.) Juergen took time
out to talk to the boys and answer the many questions they
had about pro football.

A final
highlight in Munich was to watch the Bundesliga victory
(2-1) over Dortmund in front of a sell out crowd of 69,000.
Miroslav Klose also delivered on his promise of 2 goals for
the Wynrs boys.
Bremen
was the next stop. Another home coming for Wynton plus
the exciting press release of “Werder
Worldwide” and the official introduction of
Oceania’s Player of the Century as Patron for
this new international project with Werder Bremen. All
the Wynrs players were invited to the press conference
which also included a tour of the stadium, museum and
first team training.
The
Weserstadium where Wynton became world famous.
Haka in
the snow, the Werder players were in complete fear for four
minutes.
