International career

Schumacher played 76 international matches for West Germany between 1979 and 1986, including 15 World Cup qualifying matches and 14 World Cup finals matches.


Controversy at 1982 World Cup

Schumacher was involved in a collision with a French defender, substitute Patrick Battiston, in the semi-final of the 1982 World Cup. Both Battiston and Schumacher were chasing down a long-ball pass, sprinting at each other and the ball from opposite directions. Battiston arrived just before Schumacher, firing off a shot to the left of Schumacher. Just before the resulting collision, Schumacher jumped and put his hands in the air and to his left, trying to stop the ball that was whizzing past him. He also seemed to oddly twist and contort his legs off to the side of him while mid-flight, resulting in his buttocks actually making the first impact with Battiston. Patrick Battiston (born March 12, 1957 in Amnéville, Moselle) is a former French football player, who played for the France national team in three World Cups and won the 1984 European Football Championship. ...


Afterwards, Battiston was prone, unmoving on the pitch, with his two front teeth knocked out and damaged vertebrae. He received oxygen on the pitch.[1] Michel Platini later said that he thought that Battiston was dead, because "he had no pulse and looked pale".[2] A diagram of a thoracic vertebra. ... Michel François Platini (born June 21, 1955) is a French former football manager and midfielder, and now president of UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations. ...


The Dutch referee Charles Corver awarded a goal kick, since Battiston's shot had sailed wide of the goal and rolled out of play. Charles Corver is a former Dutch football referee. ...


When West Germany and France met again in World Cup 1986, Battiston said that the incident was "forgiven and forgotten". However, he said that he was wary of getting "close to Schumacher" and said that he would hold a distance of at least 40 meters from the German goalkeeper. Schumacher would not comment on the incident.[3] The score was finally 3-3 after extra time. Germany won the game on penalties. 1986 World Cup may refer to: 1986 Mens World Hockey Cup 1986 Womens World Hockey Cup 1986 FIFA World Cup Category: ...

Autobiography

In 1987, Schumacher's autobiography, Anpfiff was published.


There was much interest in Schumacher's comments on the Battiston incident and he maintained that his actions did not constitute a foul.


The book achieved its own measure of controversy for entirely different reasons; it included graphic accounts of alleged but unproven improprieties by German football players, including substance abuse. This resulted in Schumacher's exclusion from the German national team and his long-term Bundesliga club, 1.FC Köln. 1. ...
