“Aljoscha Pause likes the challenge. He searches the depths of the football industry and holds his stethoscope on the well-lit surface in order to put all the inaccessible developments and imponderables into an understandable context. And where others would fail grandly, he again succeeds in documenting exceptional content and craftsmanship. "
