Wie war das damals, Guido Buchwald?

In the organizer's words:

On May 15, Guido Buchwald will be a guest on the Legends podcast "How was it back then?". The live audience in the arena of the German Football Museum can look forward to another 1990 World Cup winner from 7 pm.

Buchwald, the forward from Stuttgart, who was sometimes dismissed as stiff and awkward before the World Cup in Italy, developed unexpected qualities alongside his actual work. In the legendary round of 16 match against the Netherlands, for example, in the 51st minute, deep in the opponent's half, virtually in a left-wing position, he twice outmuscled an opponent with a double overlap before hitting a millimeter-precise cross to Jürgen Klinsmann, who finished to make it 1:0. The path to the quarter-finals was paved. Later, in the final in Rome, Guido Buchwald took Argentina's soccer god Diego Armando Maradona out of the game. The national team had reached the finish line, soccer world champions, and Franz Beckenbauer walked alone across the pitch in Rome.

What was it like in Italy back then? In the World Cup quarters at Castello di Casiglio in Erba? In the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza? Against Holland? Against Argentina? With the "Kaiser" as team manager? Guido Buchwald will talk about all of this with hosts Pit Gottschalk and Christian Pfennig. He will also talk about how he decided the three-way battle in the 1991/92 Bundesliga season with his header to make it 2:1 at Bayer Leverkusen in the 86th minute of the game and became German champion with VfB Stuttgart for the second time since 1984. How his adventure in Japan with Urawa Red Diamonds came about, and his farewell in the 2nd division with Karlsruher SC.
