TRainer Christian Streich from the Bundesliga club SC Freiburg has been presented with the Order of Merit of the State of Baden-Württemberg. Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) presented the stylized cross with the state coat of arms to a total of 23 honorees from the fields of politics, culture, science, sport and society in Mannheim Palace on Saturday.
Streich «advertises for respect, tolerance and democratic participation. He shows the flag against xenophobia and disenchantment with politics and gives face and voice to the values of a democratic and civil society,” the country said in a statement. «It is not the origin of a person that is decisive for him, but how he is and what he does. This makes Christian Streich a great ambassador for football and at the same time a popular figure for the country and his southern Baden homeland. »
