So, how do you become world champions? With Rainer Bonhof, Pierre Littbarski, Renate Lingor and Joachim Löw
with Joachim Löw Pierre Littbarski Rainer Bonhof Renate Lingor Christoph Biermann
“Of course we want to become world champions,” said German national coach, Julian Nagelsmann, talking about the soccer world championships taking place in 2026 in the US, Mexico and Canada. The men’s team has won the title four times so far, the women’s team twice. Rainer Bonhof (1974), Pierre Littbarski (1990), Renate Lingor(2003 and 2007) and Joachim Löw (2014) know what it takes to bring home the trophy and they have wonderful tales to tell. But are some of the things they experienced along the way still valid today? Is the key to success having talented soccer players, extraordinary coaches or a particular kind of team spirit? And what role do chance and good or bad luck play in tournaments? Author and sports journalist Christoph Biermann (“Die Tabelle lügt immer. Über die Macht des Zufalls im Fußball”) guides us through the evening.
