Language Lesson
entourage [on-toor-ahzh] : (n) A group of people who assist or travel with an important or well-known person.
There is no doubt that when a person of notariety and flare steps off of a plane, people take notice. They clammor to get that picture or that signature. There are flash bulbs and droves of people who run to a particular area to get a glimpse. Sometimes, this person will travel with his own band of brothers. Generally it’s security or agents. Sometimes it’s an entourage that flocks to this person because of their character. In this case, it happens to be Jogi Loew and the German National Team. They descended upon Ascona today. After a 55 minute flight from Frankfurt and another 45 minutes added they arrived. Entourage in tow. Some 70 people travelled along with the team and their leader. Their entourage.
Among those traveling with the team were DFB President Dr. Theo Zwanziger and General Secretary Wolfgang Niersbach. They were greeted by a delegation of canton Tessin who gave them both an original swiss cowbell. The team took to their hotel in Lugano, Il Giardino, and were greeted by the director of the hotel and the manager of the sports center in Tenero.
It gets even better than that. Not only are presidents and managers happy to be part of the greeting committee for the national team, so were elementary school children who wore Germany tshirts and waved the Germany Flag along with fans, journalists and camera crews.
All players traveled together with the exception of Oliver Neuville as he hails from Locarno so he spent a day with his relatives in the area.
