On Wednesday evening, Béla Réthy will comment on the last game of his career, which is also his 66th birthday. With the final whistle of the World Cup semi-final, the big, old, inevitable football explainer of the nation goes into television retirement. in the star-Interview, Réthy looks back on iconic moments, language as a weapon – and the eternal anger of the audience.
Béla Réthy, your last game as a ZDF commentator, your final curtain, your ultimate goodbye after almost forty years at the microphone. How nostalgic are you?
Not yet. During a tournament I find myself in work mode, Oliver Kahn would have said: in the tunnel. But I’m curious how I’ll feel afterwards. When I say goodbye for the last time, take off my headset for the last time, clear my seat, walk out of the stadium… yes, everything may come up.
