The best stories, profiles and reports from football expert and bestselling author Christoph Biermann
As a football reporter for 11FREUNDE, Christoph Biermann goes where the heart of football beats. He tells the strange story of the ugliest kit in Bundesliga history and that of Germany’s most fairy-tale football pitch, made famous by a groundhopper. We meet two Bundesliga players who met as three-year-olds, an autistic football fan who finds inner peace in the stadium, and Ebby from Duisburg, who has been travelling to every match in Nottingham for decades. We learn why love for a club grows particularly strong when it is at its lowest ebb, and when it is in danger of dying out.
