Love for football but still anger: Pop singer and producer Matthias Distel alias Ikke Hüftgold talks about his European Championship hit “Pyrotechnics” and why sports betting should urgently be banned
When was the last time you were in a football stadium?
In February at Schalke, at a second division game. It wasn’t without pyrotechnics, there are usually loud bangs at Schalke. I go there often and now know a lot about the club’s history. And I’m friends with Clemens Tönnies, an incredible guy! Hated on the one hand, revered on the other. Similar to Uli Hoeneß. They are impressive doers, but none of them are angels.
