Juergen Teller: "Siegerflieger"

For a German football enthusiast like Juergen Teller, summer 2014 couldn’t have been any better! The German national team won the World Cup in Brazil, and Teller was there every step of the way. Siegerflieger unfolds in typical diary-like Teller fashion: we see him enjoying a bratwurst or two, a casual round of chess with the family in his hometown of Bubenreuth, and perhaps one drink too many with his students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg. Yet Teller’s obsession for football (also shared by his son Ed, the covert star of this book) remains center stage, be he watching the final live on TV or welcoming home the triumphant team at the Brandenburg Gate.
