STERN-Reporter Mathias Schneider berichtet seit 2001 über die Nationalmannschaft. Er verfolgte Löws Weg beim DFB von dessen erstem Spiel als Assistenztrainer 2004 in Österreich bis zuletzt bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Moskau aus nächster Nähe. Immer wieder traf sich Schneider in den vergangenen Jahren zu Interviews mit dem Bundestrainer. Nun hat er sich aufgemacht zu den Knotenpunkten in Löws Leben, um den Aufstieg eines der populärsten Deutschen noch besser zu verstehen.

Each November, about a hundred people with paper poppies pinned to their coats gather around a memorial in Edinburgh. They're there to commemorate the more than a dozen members of the local football team, Heart of Midlothian - almost every member of its starting lineup and many of its backup players - who went to war. A Bigger Field Awaits Us tells the little-known but poignant story of a group of Scottish athletes and their fans who went to war together - and the stories of the few who made it home.

The England team that touched down in Russia for the 2018 World Cup was a new-look outfit: there were no real stars, no overblown egos and no dickheads. Still reeling from the wincing exit to Iceland in the 2016 Euros, expectations were at an all-time low. Qualification had been smooth if not spectacular, and pundits and fans alike were lukewarm about the team’s chances. Just avoiding embarrassment would have counted as some kind of success. How wrong we were.

Pers wunderbare Fußball-Welt: kurzweilig, anekdotenreich und voller unvergesslicher Momente. In England nennt man ihn liebevoll "Big Fucking German" - aber nicht nur mit seiner Körpergröße von exakt einem Meter achtundneunzig ragt Per Mertesacker heraus: Er ist für seine überaus faire Spielweise bekannt, er hat ein feines Gespür für den Raum und ein exzellentes taktisches Verständnis, er ordnet alles dem Erfolg unter. In seiner Autobiographie blickt der Defensiv-Spezialist auf eine einmalige Karriere zurück.

In The Title, Scott Murray delivers a lively, cherry-picked history of the country's football narrative through the prism of the old First Division. Rich with humour yet underpinned with solid research, this is a glorious ramble across English football's varied terrain. With as much about Preston, Burnley, Wolves, Portsmouth and West Brom as the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, we learn the less well-known stories the sport has to tell, such as the plight of Glossop - the smallest club to ever play top-flight football.

In the summer of 1966, Peter Chapman was a naive 18-year-old from the Angel in North London. He was just about to enter the world of work, having flunked his A Levels and recently discovered that he would not be fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional footballer at Leyton Orient. As a young man on the brink of adulthood, he found himself in a country also on the brink of huge change - and about to have one of the most significant sporting successes in its history.

L'infanzia in via Vetulonia, i primi calci al pallone, la timidezza e la paura del buio, la vita di quartiere in una Roma che forse non esiste più. Gli amici che resteranno gli stessi per tutta la vita. Gli allenamenti a cui la mamma lo accompagnava in 126, asciugandogli i capelli con i bocchettoni in inverno. L'esordio in Serie A a 16 anni in un pomeriggio di marzo del 1993 a Brescia, con i pantaloni della tuta che al momento di entrare in campo si impigliano nei tacchetti; il primo derby, il primo gol, il rischio di essere ceduto alla Sampdoria prima ancora che la sua favola in giallorosso possa cominciare.

Forfatteren har fulgt det danske fodboldlandshold gennem fire år - før, under og efter VM i Rusland og i tiden frem til EM, som bl.a. afholdes i Danmark i 2021. Det er historien om den stilfærdige nordmand Åge Hareide, der blev ansat til at genskabe fordums storhed på grønsværen og skabe fornyet begejstring for landsholdsfodbold herhjemme, men som undervejs fik at vide, at DBU ikke ville fortsætte med ham og i stedet ansatte Kasper Hjulmand.

Both Sides is Nicklas Bendtner's shockingly honest memoir of both the bright and dark sides of his personality and the football industry and what really happens when you give a troubled, overconfident teen millions to spend. It's about growing up in a working class neighbourhood and never denying your roots while living a dramatically changed life. It's about fighting to reach the top in the worlds' toughest league but having no respect for hierarchy. It's about friendship, rivalry, loneliness, failing father figures and the constant quest for an adrenaline kick

In Robbie Fowler: My Life in Football, Robbie takes us on a journey through the games that have shaped his career and thinking about football, from Hillsborough to Istanbul, via the cup treble, that celebration, all those goals, Houllier, Benitiez, Klopp and the rest. Personal and revealing, Robbie's stories come from a life spent inside the game. He invites us inside the dressing room, sharing stories of legendary teammates like Rush, Owen and Gerrard, his love of the Kop, his greatest achievements and his regrets - as well as the money, fame and hoopla that surround the game.

Physical conditioning is the foundation for any sport, but especially for the fast-moving game of soccer. I wrote this audiobook so that you would have the nutritional knowledge and the training wisdom to prepare yourself physically and mentally for the game.

Mark Noble joined the West Ham Youth Academy in 2000 and immediately made an impression. Tenacious, aggressive, brave and full of character, he was the perfect embodiment of West Ham’s values and was seen as having a bright future in the Hammers first team. But nobody could have dreamt of Mark’s career at the club: the most appearances in the Premier League for West Ham United and, by the time of his retirement in 2022, the longest-serving one-club player in Europe – his achievements cemented him as one of the club’s modern legends and earned him the nickname ‘Mr West Ham’.

Cuando estoy en el campo, sentirme querido me da un impulso impresionante. Pero el odio también me da mucho. Cuando me cabrean, paso a un nivel superior: estoy más atento, más concentrado, más fuerte, más ansioso por demostrar algo. Si me odian, me hacen mejor. Por eso, partidos como los derbis me ponen a mil por hora y me llenan de una rabia especial que me lleva más alto. Pero hoy tengo mucho más control que cuando era joven. También porque los niños me han dado una calma y un ritmo que antes no tenía.

Futbolistas, entrenadores, presidentes, artistas, políticos, periodistas, escritores e incluso adversarios han acuñado expresiones y reflexiones relacionadas con el FC Barcelona. Algunas hicieron fortuna y, con el paso del tiempo, se anclaron para siempre en el imaginario azulgrana. Otras, con menor recorrido, generaron puntual expectación y debate, pero igualmente pusieron de relieve la gran dimensión de la entidad: más que un club. En este libro, una actualización del Senyora, no fotem.

Jimmy Bullard may not have had the perfect hair-do, his Granada Ghia may not have been the flashiest of cars, and he definitely didn't have a string of Page 3 girls trying to sell kiss and tell stories about him to the tabloids. But what he has in spades is a genuine love for The Beautiful Game that few of his peers can match. One of the last graduates from football's old school, Jimmy actually worked in the real world - including as a painter and decorator - before turning pro. Maybe that's why he played football with a smile on his face, always says what's on his mind, and is no stranger to a spot of mischief.

The explosive autobiography from the brilliant and controversial footballer Luis Suarez. Luis Suárez was a young boy already in love with football by the time his family moved from the countryside to Uruguay's capital, Montevideo. The guile and trickery of the street kid made an impact with the country's biggest club, Nacional, before he was spotted by Dutch scouts who brought him to Europe.

Der Profifußball verliert seine Unschuld. Wir reden von Fußballvereinen, obwohl wir es längst mit AGs und GmbHs zu tun haben. Wer aber steht hinter diesen Gesellschaften? Wer profitiert von diesem gigantischen Geschäft um Übertragungsrechte und Merchandising? Welcher Apparat ist um die 90 Minuten herum entstanden, der uns tagaus tagein Relevanz vortäuscht, es aber immer weniger schafft, vom großen Geschäft für einige wenige abzulenken, die knallhart ihre Interessen verfolgen?

Die C-Jugend des SV Klosterberg kommt von einem Gastspiel bei der C-Jugend von Schalke 04 zurück und bringt Gäste mit.
