temper bubbling away barely under the surface. Klopp's pitch-side
passion has enthralled fans, leading to 2019's triumphant Champions
League win and culminating in 2020 Premier League victory With
exclusive access to Klopp's friends, family, colleagues and
players, Raphael Honigstein goes behind-the-scenes at Liverpool to

'Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and
at the end, the Germans always win' Gary Lineker Packed with
exclusive interviews with key protagonists, Raphael Honigstein's
book lifts the lid on the secrets of German football's success.
13th July 2014, World Cup Final, the last ten minutes of extra
time. Germany forward Mario Goetze, receiving a floated pass from
his international teammate Andre Schurrle, jumps slightly to meet
the ball and cushion it with his chest. Landing on his left foot,
he takes a step with his right, swivels, and in one fluid motion,
without the ball touching the ground, volleys it past the onrushing
Argentine goalkeeper into the far corner of the net. The goal wins
Germany the World Cup for the first time in almost twenty-five
years. In Das Reboot, journalist and television pundit Raphael
Honigstein charts the return of German football - how did German
football transform itself from its efficient, but unappealing and
defensively minded traditions to the free-flowing, attacking
football that was on display during the last World Cup? The answer
takes him from California to Stuttgart, from Munich to the
Maracana, via Dortmund and Durban. 'German football boasts not only
the World Cup, but superb writers...A fine account of how Germany
reclaimed hegemony' Guardian
"A beautiful story, expertly told." --Per Mertesacker, Arsenal
defender and member of the German national team, winners of the
2014 World Cup Estadio do Maracana, July 13, 2014, the last ten
minutes of extra time in the World Cup Final: German forward Mario
Gotze jumps to meet a floated pass from Andre Schurrle, cushions
the ball with his chest, and in one fluid motion volleys the ball
past the onrushing Argentine goalkeeper into the far corner of the
net. The goal wins Germany the World Cup for the first time in
almost thirty years. As the crowd roars, Gotze looks dazed, unable
to comprehend what he has done. In Das Reboot, Raphael Honigstein
charts the return of German soccer from the dreary functionality of
the late 1990s to Gotze's moment of sublime, balletic genius and
asks: How did this come about? The answer takes him from California
to Stuttgart, from Munich to the Maracana, via Dortmund and
Amsterdam. Packed with exclusive interviews with key figures,
including Jurgen Klinsmann, Thomas Muller, Oliver Bierhoff, and
many more, Honigstein's book reveals the secrets of German soccer's
success.
