Chris Iwelumo back Ten questions on... Chris Iwelumo,
explain you to the fans nevertheless times the origin of your name.
My father is from Nigeria. There it is not an unusual name. My nut/mother comes against it from Scotland and is also born, more exact I there in Glasgow.
They come from Scotland, but in the last six years you played in England. What are the differences between the football on the island and in Germany?
I think, in Germany the focus more on the technology am put, while in England still more is paid attention to Fitness. Altogether the play is faster in England, it many more on counters played and it goes always directly from the side to the other one. They drive also into Germany a car with right control. How do you come thereby clearly, do give it no problems? That is not a problem. I drove also the car from Florian Bruns, when he was hurt, that have the steering wheel on the left side. That does not make anything for me. In addition I drive a car with mechanism circuit, there am simpler it. What impresses you at most so far in Aachen? It is a small community here in Aachen. One has the feeling, which knows everyone everyone. If I go into the cafe, then I always see the same faces. But the city for me makes very pleasant. The only problem is that there are unfortunately no English-language newspapers in Aachen. Moses Sichone must then always bring along these newspapers for me from Cologne. What are your personal goals and the goals with the Alemannia? My personal goal is it to play if possible on high level - if it goes in the international football. And with the Alemannia is natural my goal of getting a master place and if I played, then I would like to naturally obtain many gates. That did not fold so far yet so well, but I work daily to improve me. How does it look in the meantime with your German knowledge and how to communicate you with coaches and crew? 80 per cent of my fellow players English speak, make simpler much. And for one and a half months I have now German instruction. In the meantime I understand a lot of what is said. In addition the football language is an international language. So I can understand alone by gesturing, if the coach is sour for example. If one asks your wife, what your personal strengths are, which would answer them? She would say that I am very open humans. One can come very easily with me into contact. That makes it somewhat easier for me perhaps straight abroad. If I am however annoyed, then one should rather go to me out of the way. And which would say it to your weaknesses? Sometimes I am perhaps a little too loud. But I hope the fact that she does not find so many negative characteristics at all with me (laughs). What particularly pleases you with Alemannia? The Alemannia fans are probably the best, whom I experienced ever. In England the fans are correctly sour for example, if one loses. Here the fans are perhaps also disappointed, but they try to develop us also directly again for the next play. So which I do not have in England experienced and which pleases me with the Alemannia completely particularly well.
