11 Freunde live

Birds of paradise, magic passes, and missed opportunities With Philipp Köster and Stephan Reich The new live program from 11FREUNDE is here: Philipp Köster and Stephan Reich present “The Other History of Soccer” – a fast-paced ride from the wild boys in long pants to today's glossy spectacle, with daring tackles, bizarre goals, botched interviews, and unrestrained commentators. The show is hosted by the two 11FREUNDE veterans Philipp Köster and Stephan Reich with texts, films, and anecdotes. Philipp Köster is editor-in-chief of the soccer magazine 11FREUNDE. He has been touring with live programs since 2005. He collects jerseys and stadium programs, knows the 1984 Romanian champion, and can recite the starting lineup of Borussia Dortmund in the 1986 relegation match against Fortuna Cologne by heart. He is also the author of numerous soccer books, including one on the history of the Bundesliga. Above all, however, he is a supporter of the glorious Arminia Bielefeld. Philipp is very much looking forward to the new tour: “We talk about soccer as it should be: dirty, funny, and close to the audience.” Stephan Reich is a long-time 11FREUNDE writer, journalist, and author. As an ardent fan of Eintracht Frankfurt, he has just published the collection of texts “Tage des Donners” (Days of Thunder), and his debut novel “Wenn's brennt” (When It Burns) was already a great success. Reich also appears regularly on the popular video podcast “Fußball 2000” – and pretty much anywhere else where the action is.
