At Fortuna Duesseldorf I had shown everybody that I could do it. That I was not just the wild fireman rampaging along the touchline that people took me for. Toni Schumacher even predicted in 1986 that Rehhagel would become calmer too.\n\nKlaus Allofs, one of my model pupils in Duesseldorf and later in Bremen, confirmed as much, saying that although I had arrived with the reputation of a big mouth and a rescuer who would not stay long, I was still able to set up a team well and recognize what mattered.
