Play for Us
by Milan Gather
Zwinger 3
A football club in the relegation zone desperately needs a miracle. And then the young talent with the number 13 really does perform miracles and the team climbs the table. Fans adore their number 13, everything’s perfect. Until a transfer offer appears that could change everything. The new talent could soon be playing for one of the big teams and the club could use the money. But what would they do without number 13? What are the consequences of the growing dominance of sports officials, sponsors and politics? How do they affect the relationship between clubs, players and fans?
