Eight days ago I tried to read up on African Champions League winners TP Mazembe, while keeping an eye on the game between Hannover and Hamburg. It was a frustrating experience, because I had to realize that neither my multitasking, nor Hamburg’s ability to defend a lead was quite up to the challenge. Robert Enke [...]
