Reception



Manfred Riepe praises the director in the magazine 'epd Film', because Oldenburg says in this entertaining film a little more than that the ball is round and the game lasts 90 minutes: "This film conveys itself even to those who normally don't care much about football".

On 'Spiegel Online', Peter Ahrens criticizes that one learns little about the main character, even though Kroos is always in the picture. "What he thinks about the world, about football, about the business, about the things in life, cannot be understood even after an hour and a half on the cinema screen (...) The deeper the film delves into the subject, the less important Toni Kroos seems to be".
