Lots of declarations of love for soccer by Moritz Rinke

Moritz Rinke, born in Worpswede, Werder ambassador, columnist not only for the Weser Kurier, playwright and novelist, has written a new book. It is the book of a fan who loves this world dearly, but is not afraid to look into the dark corners.

Moritz Rinke lets Uli Hoeneß and Bastian Schweinsteiger's missed penalties talk to each other and stares at the legendary back of Uwe Seeler's head for an elevator ride. At the Weser stadium, he steals sacred turf with his son and stows it in a Tupperware box, which he places next to Bertolt Brecht's original pipe. He spends the night with Thomas Tuchel in Berlin's Tausendbar and writes a speech to the nation in the spirit of Hölderlin and Toni Kroos.
