Schröder, Wagner, Herbert: These are the protagonists of this completely surprising title win at the World Cup – but the path of this team, which was welded together against all odds, goes back a long way.
Germany is basketball world champion. To understand this, you have to pinch yourself a lot, because this has never happened before. The narrow final victory against the Serbs ultimately meant a triumph that no one had actually thought possible. And because something like this only happens once every 100 years, we are dedicating the SZ football talk “And now to sports” to “And now to basketball” – a special program, to which this time presenter Jonas Beckenkamp welcomes everyone who is interested.
How all this can be classified, how it came about and what makes this team so special can be found in this issue in a conversation with basketball expert and SZ colleague Ralf Tögel, who was most recently at the World Cup in Asia for the sports department.
Football Bundesliga, Champions League, sports policy at Fifa and DFB: “And now to sport”, the football podcast from the Süddeutsche Zeitung, provides insights into the most important football topic of the week. Every Monday, SZ sports editors discuss the background to current events.
