Features: In recent years, no athlete has been under the spotlight and at the center of public attention like Stefan Effenberg. His great achievements, such as winning the 2001 European Championship, are full of legends. His expulsion from the national team during the 1994 World Cup was also a bizarre story. Reports about his failed marriage and his new girlfriend Claudia Strohmeier have been widely covered by the media. Now Stefan Effenberg has finally spoken out for himself, saying he is a unique and sensitive storyteller. Some events in his life, when written down, sound like they were imagined by a novelist full of fantasy. He emotionally recounted his beginnings, how he fell off a gravestone and broke his leg, and how he tirelessly pursued his dream of becoming a professional player.
