His heart beats for VfL Bochum and for good entertainment. In an interview about football, youth coaches, commerce and Nick Hornby, Frank Goosen explains why he hesitated for so long about finally writing a novel about his favorite sport.
Very important in football: Don’t get sick in May, not in the decisive phase of the season. Frank Goosen is currently touring through Germany, and actually the interview for the new novel “Spiel ab!” should take place in Nuremberg, where the author and cabaret artist wanted to appear twice. But a viral and bacterial infection prevented this. Everything canceled, including the appearance at the Leipzig Book Fair. Gradually it goes uphill the Munich guest performance on May 24th is apparently not in danger. Goosen still coughs from time to time on the phone, but when talking about his favorite topic he sparkles with esprit.
