Literatur LIVE
Once upon a time, there was a popular sport called football, carried by enthusiastic fans, by their chants and flags, by passion and imagination. But now the air has gone out of it. Managers and officials have molded the sport of ordinary people into an aseptic, glossy product, pumped up with billions in TV money, and packaged for a global audience.

COLLAGE Philipp Köster: Holt euch das Spiel zurück!
Where have the emotions gone, where has the genuine enthusiasm gone? Philipp Köster has written a powerful, stirring polemic that speaks to the hearts of football fans. He recounts the legendary years of football, of enthusiastic fan stands and triumphant away trips – and he describes how greedy profiteers ruined the sport and buried it. Is there a way fans can reclaim real football? Yes. Not in all areas, but where it counts.
Philipp Köster, born in 1972, is the founder and editor-in-chief of the football magazine "11 Freunde." He is also a columnist and author. And podcaster along with Arnd Zeigler. But above all, a fan of second-division club Arminia Bielefeld.
