Football thrives on its beauty. From the brilliant pass into open space, the unstoppable long-range shot, to the perfect dribbling. But football also lives from its anarchic, subversive potential. From the upset of the favorites through a successful play by the underdogs. From the blunders of the superstars. From a decisive goal in stoppage time. From a defeat of RB Leipzig. And from the raucous play on the playgrounds of the world. This is what Frank Willmann writes about, a football philosopher and columnist for Tagesspiegel, as well as a center-back for the author national team and a passionate supporter of FC Carl Zeiss Jena. Direct, honest, and powerful in words – a perfect setup for all football fans.
