Football Soccer

Old Trafford, Manchester, 28 maggio 2003. Lo sguardo rivolto più volte verso l'arbitro, rincorsa lunga e gol. Il rigore decisivo contro la Juventus, in una finale di Champions League tutta italiana. Questo è il ricordo indelebile che Andriy Shevchenko, Pallone d'oro nel 2004, ha lasciato nei tifosi del Milan. Già da bambino sentiva che il suo destino sarebbe sta- to quello del calciatore, fin da quel marzo 1986, quando fu selezionato per entrare nei piccoli della Dynamo: il tempo di qualche allenamento poi saltò in aria il reattore numero 4 nella centrale nucleare di Chernobyl.

Deutschland hat viele große Torhüter hervorgebracht. Doch seit Langem hat kein Schlussmann die Position so sehr geprägt wie Manuel Neuer. Seine Ausflüge bis weit aus dem Strafraum hinaus sind legendär, vor allem bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2014 gab er dem deutschen Team dadurch einen enormen Rückhalt. Als derzeit weltbester Torwart kann der gebürtige Gelsenkirchener eine beachtliche Trophäensammlung vorweisen: Neben dem Triple 2013 mit den Bayern und dem WM-Titel 2014 stand Neuer beim bislang letzten Titelgewinn seines Heimatvereins FC Schalke 04, beim DFB-Pokalsieg 2011, zwischen den Pfosten. Und ein Ende der Neuerschen Erfolgswelle ist längst nicht in Sicht.

En este libro, que incorpora treinta nuevos textos, se habla de jugadores y aficionados, entrenadores y presidentes, derrotas y triunfos, de emoción y vergüenza; también del carácter casi cinematográfico de este deporte, de la cuidadosa memoria y el rápido olvido, del patriotismo, la celebración de los goles, los himnos, los andares y gestos llenos de significado. Y vemos el fútbol como lo que seguramente es, en el fondo, para millones de aficionados: un interminable desfile de héroes, villanos, figurantes y gestas, un espectáculo que quizá merece la pena tomarse en serio.
