Moderator Sebastian Pufpaff drove to the Dortmund stadium in the wrong team bus. The club didn’t find it funny and imposed a stadium ban. Now the “TV-total” man is offering the club a friendship for reconciliation.
At Borussia Dortmund, they were quite angry at the action that TV presenter Sebastian Pufpaff had undertaken last Saturday before the game against FC Bayern. In a nutshell: Pufpaff disguised as BVB coach Marco Rose drove up to the cabin wing of the Westfalenstadion in a fake team bus – before he was exposed.
On Wednesday evening he showed the film for jokes on his show “TV total”. “I feel like I’m Marco Rose,” he says at one point. Among other things, the work shows how the comedian initially disguised himself as BVB trainer Marco Rose (45) – including make-up, rose hairstyle and clothes. He clearly liked the transformation. “It’s really me,” said Pufpaff with satisfaction.
Then you could see how Pufpaff boarded a black bus with a troop of young men in tracksuits – a fake team without much resemblance to the real BVB team. During a stopover, the vehicle is also given a gigantic BVB logo. Then it goes towards the stadium.
First checkpoint happened with ease
The bus apparently passed a first, smaller checkpoint near the arena without any problems. You could see how Pufpaff confidently gives a man a hand signal – and this man lifts a barrier cap to the side. The next scenes: Pufpaff’s fake bus even makes it into the covered area and the supposed team gets out. But then the moderator is exposed.
“You are not the trainer,” clarifies an employee with the BVB logo. “Who am I?” replies Pufpaff. But the man remains determined: “I don’t care. But you are not our coach.” The film ends with Pufpaff in front of the bars.
The action caused some excitement before the top Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich last Saturday. It was said that Pufpaff had passed several controls and was only stopped in front of the cabin wing. According to the police, BVB then waived criminal claims. Investigations were not initiated.
Sebastian Pufpaff wants reconciliation
BVB club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke had told the “Ruhr Nachrichten” about the action: “That definitely means a stadium ban for everyone involved.” Something like that “doesn’t work at all”. Obviously, Pufpaff does not want to let that sit on him. In his broadcast, he made a peace offer to BVB: a “fan friendship” between “TV total” and the club. After all, both logos are black and yellow.
