Das ist Fussball

Football writes the best stories? That's true – but you also have to ask the right questions about football. How does coach Hansi Flick make his teams shine? Why did Diego Maradona fall victim to drugs? What connects bestselling author Jo Nesbø with striker Erling Haaland? And what does Julian Nagelsmann have to do with the volunteer fire department in South Giesing? This book is about all of that: about heroes and villains, about geniuses and charlatans, about passion, dedication, and sorrow. Researched and written by the football writers of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. With a foreword by Matthias Brandt.
