Not only because he is a professional, he doesn&#8217;t mind missing the one or other festivity. It motivates him to always give his all, to be there for his teammates and \u2013 either in goal or from the bench \u2013 to do everything possible to ensure that his FC wins. And for all those who find it difficult to choose between a jersey or a costume in February, Kess has a smart tip: &#8220;The carnival season lasts several months, so you can always attend a party. And if it suits the sporting situation, you can also take part during the hot phase.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k21ixsj5-d043b3719971f2143ebcf0739071ba5b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k21ixsj5-d043b3719971f2143ebcf0739071ba5b{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k21ixsj5-d043b3719971f2143ebcf0739071ba5b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k21hshhi-3c52e1c1fba9ff9596b1f4f3069bb08b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t need hocus-pocus.

A lot of gloves piled up there.<\/p>\n<p>Kess has now been at home in professional football for 13 years, playing for FC St. Pauli and Eintracht Frankfurt alongside the Effzeh. During the whole time there were many sporting highlights, Bundesliga promotions and also a trip in the Europa League to Arsenal London. Whether he kept gloves from one of his special games? Only from the most important one, the 2-1 derby win at Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach in the 2016\/17 season: &#8220;They are framed together with the jersey at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k21ixsj5-a6b67b15719799d572366ee54aaa3807\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k21ixsj5-a6b67b15719799d572366ee54aaa3807{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k21ixsj5-a6b67b15719799d572366ee54aaa3807 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-40  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k21hshhi-14df8e2214482c16972c244f3d8aa70b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock p-intro'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Perhaps the new carnival glove will also make it at some point and get a place of honour in the Kessler household.
