No comment: Christian Ilzer
Christian Ilzer has been in the TSG Hoffenheim dugout since November. The 47-year-old Austrian – who had to end his playing career prematurely due to a knee injury, then studied sports sciences and worked as a fitness coach – joined TSG after four successful years at double-winning Sturm Graz. In our "No comment" section, the family man and father revealed what he appreciates about his home country, what kind of football he prefers and how he would like to be seen by the TSG supporters – all without uttering a single word.

(1.)
Which sport apart from football are you particularly good at?

(2.)
You come from Styria, from Puch near Weiz. What is your hometown known for?

(3.)
You also trained as an electrical engineer there. What has stayed with you from that?

(4.)
You come from an artistic family. Which artists do you associate with Austria?

(5.)
And how would you assess your own artistic ambitions?

(6.)
What should Ilzer's brand of football at TSG be synonymous with?

(7.)
So lots of power – and as much success as possible. What does the typical Christian Ilzer celebration look like?
