Champions League - nothing is normal: a sheriff for the premier class

Master in your home (Korean: 집사부일체; abbreviated as Jipsabu) is a South Oriental tv program that broadcasts on SBS regular on Sundays at 18:25 (KST) from December 31, 2017.

Moldaus permanent master FC Sheriff Tiraspol is in the group stage of the Champions League. The curious: The club represents a country he does not belong.

Everything was as normal as it is just when a team qualifies for the first time for the group stage of the Champions League. The jubilee was pretty big, players and caregers formed a huge ball, and the midfielder Sebastien Thill from Luxembourg said with a view of the draw on Thursday evening: We want to play against the best of the world. We do not care about whom we play. So far, so normal.

The FC Sheriff Tiraspol now plays against the best in the world. Through a 0-0 on Wednesday evening at the Croatian record champion Dinamo Zagreb (first leg 3: 0), the record champion of the Republic of Moldova qualified for the first time for the premier class. The Republic of Moldova (colloquially Moldova) is thus the 34th nation represented with a club in the group phase - of course by a club that is not in Moldova.

In fact, the FC Sheriff Tiraspol is almost nothing normal. This is already going on that Tiraspol is located in Transnistria, a country line in the east of Moldova on the border with Ukraine. The region has declared independently in 1990, which is de facto a separate state with its own administration and currency - although no country recognizes you as such. Almost 500,000 people live there, but because Transnistria is poor, pull more and more.

In fact, Transnistria is also more of a company. A company called Sheriff, who, the name, it suggests, was founded in June 1993 by former police officers from the Soviet Union as a security firm. From this, a large group generated 60 percent of the gross national product in Transnistria: Sheriff includes a housing association, a supermarket chain, a TV channel, banks, casinos and much more.

Sheriff Tiraspol: A company's own football club

Not enough: The party Renewal has 29 of the 33 seats in the Transnistrian Parliament - it is exactly the political arm of Sheriff. President of Transnistria has been the former Army Colonel Wadim Krasnoselski since 2016, previously secure chief of: Sheriff. And finally: One of the two founders of Sheriff is Viktor Guschan, little surprisingly president and patrons of the company's own football club.

The FC Sheriff is just pretty much the only one who connects Transnistria with Moldova. The club, founded in 1996, since 1998 first class, has become Master Master in the first league of Moldova. Only FC Dacia Chisinau (2011) and FC Milsami from the city of Orhei (2015) came the wasps, as the players of the FC Sheriff are called yellow and black because of the club colors, surprisingly.

The club from Tiraspol has little surprisingly significant financial resources: he has a very modern training grounds and a fancy, $ 200 million dollar expensive stadium. The squad is international. In the starting elf against Zagreb was just a player with a Moldovan Pass: Silva Henrique de Sousa Luvannor, a 2013-naturalized Brazilian.
