Germany and Argentina meet in the World Cup final on Sunday, but the German fans in Berlin may stop a moment to remember different and more politicized times in the history of the game.
The idea of the existence of the Ministry of State in the world of football may seem strange, but so was the case before.
In East Germany, the secret police had a football team. It was not just an ordinary team, but it was the best in the domestic league.
It was not possible for the team level to be less than that, as the biggest fans of the team was the same minister who ordered the transfer of the most skilled players to his club .. Dinamo Berlin Football Club.
Football clubs in East Germany are often a side business. Karl Zayes Yina was owned by the Karl Zayes Foundation for the Manufacturing Foundation in Yina, and there was also the club of Tarter Gross Landau and the Turbin Potsdam Club.
The clubs that start with the word “Vovats”, such as the Fovats Lesteg Club, affiliated with the army, while Dinamo was the name of the police.
In Berlin, the Dinamo Berlin Club was the Ministry of State Security Club, and the minister, Eric Milke, who has been in his position 30 years until the collapse of East Germany, was its largest fans.
Melkie’s hand was drowned in blood. He was the one who started a political assassination campaign in 1931, and was imprisoned by it after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In the thirties of the last century, he moved to the Soviet Union, where he became one of the strongest Stalin men. After the war, he returned to East Germany as head of security and Stalin’s man there.

Meliki Dinamo Berlin loved. He appeared in some pictures with the players while he was smiling, or kicking the ball in the club. The players smiled at him, I think it is a turbulent smile as the person who has the keys to the torture rooms and has all the orders.
But Dinamo Berlin was not always his favorite team. According to the records of the Federal Authority for the records of the Ministry of State, Milke returned from Moscow, which is fond of the idea of institutions in the name of Dinamo, as was the case in the Soviet Union.
He dreamed of playing German teams in the name of Dinamo strong matches against other teams from the Soviet Union. He believed that football is one of the ways to promote East Germany and the idea of socialism.
“Our success in football will highlight the distinction of our socialist system in sport,” he said.
In the end, he founded a strong difference, to which the players move only, not.
In 1953, police teams in Dresden gathered to form the Dinamo Dresden team.
According to Al -Ittihad articles, “The Dinamo Club is an organization based on the principle of democratic centralization. The members of the club must be distinguished by a revolutionary spirit.”
Regardless of the degree of the revolutionary spirit of the members, the skills of Dinamo Dresden players did not rise to what Melika wanted.
In 1954, Meliki ordered the transfer of Dinamo Dresden players to the Dinamo Berlin Club, which later established.
In Berlin, there was a Berlin Union Club, which is still striving so far.

When the two teams met, the adjective of “a fierce match” was the least that could be described.
The Berlin Federation fans chanted, “We do not want a state security pig.” The seats were broken and the Dinamo Berlin Stadium ruined.
The presidency of the club’s Minister of State for the club was a burden on the players. Certainly, they were selected and close, but the idea of a collective killer had its advantages and disadvantages.
When Dinamo Berlin celebrated his fortieth day in 2006, former player Christian Pax attended. He talked about the match in which he was injured in his ankle, and he found himself sitting next to Milki on the bench, and he could not sit for a long time.
The minister was very enthusiastic and kept jumping in the air and chanting for the club, so he was forced, and among them Pax, he did the same thing, otherwise he considered this lack of loyalty.
And if this is for the players, then what about the competitors? They must have wanted to defeat Dinamo Berlin, but it was a decision that needed to be reviewed.

After the unification of Germany, the club has deteriorated and became playing in the lessons of the league, while its biggest rival, the Berlin Federation, flourishes, and becomes stronger.
It does not resemble any other club, as it is located in the heart of a forest in an oriental suburb, and its stadium can accommodate 21,700 spectators.
It is known as “the stadium adjacent to the old forest home.” In order to be able to reach it, you have to pass between the trees to be surprised by a spaceship.
The club came out with a great idea, which is the invitation of the fans to bring their sofas to the field to watch the World Cup matches. Now, there are 750 sofas matrix on the field in front of a large screen.
The stadium became a living room.

There, the atmosphere of the semi -finals last Thursday was charming, as light lights fell on outdoor furniture pieces in the forest.
There were hundreds of fans sitting on the sofas, including husbands hugging each other, children and men, and elderly women revive strangers while they were wandering in the area.
Some also considered traditional foods and drinks.
The Berlin Federation plays in the second section of the German Bundesliga League, which makes its fans happy.
Anxiety prevails in some of the team’s rise and what may result in the place.
The club’s scarf remains the favorite adornment. It is also rare to find the imitation version of the expensive team players shirt. But the team’s fans are not against change.
There are now 3,800 seats on the ground, in addition to 18,000 places to stand on the other three sides of the stadium that takes the form of surfaces.
Fans built places of sitting themselves; Using their money and arms.
The people who built the club, which defeated the Dinamo Berlin team, will watch the World Cup final from the sofas they brought themselves, and will drink drink and sausage.
It cannot be much better than this.
