Christoph Biermann and Sven Mislintat – The Table Always Lies
Soccer is a strange game. “First you’re unlucky and then things go wrong,” as striker Jürgen Wegmann once said. But what if many of the things we think we know about soccer are simply not true? What if the best teams are not always on top, and the “right” ones do not get relegated? In Die Tabelle lügt immer [“The Table Always Lies”], Christoph Biermann examines the power of chance in soccer – and why we find it so hard to accept. But it’s not just us fans: Despite their best efforts, coaches, managers, and players cannot completely control chance either. What strategies have resulted from this? Biermann talks to Sven Mislintat, a former scout, squad planner and technical director for teams such as Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal FC and VfB Stuttgart, about how we can deal better with chance in soccer. Host: Wolfram Eilenberger
