Gute Freunde - Der Aufstieg des FC Bayern

Müller is seventeen years old and a welder when his father dies far too early. From now on it is up to him to support the family. A big burden. But then an opportunity arises that opens up a new perspective for him: the highly talented amateur footballer gets an offer to play for the ambitious regional league team FC Bayern – and earn extra money there.

Maier's father works in psychiatry. Money is always too tight. But little Sepp has a great joy for life, coupled with a sense of humor that will make it easier for him to cope with many things in life than, for example, Müller. And he has a father who does everything for him; who even puts his own job at risk and ultimately loses in order to fulfill Sepp's wish. From then on, the family starved for four years.

Beckenbauer has no problems with fame. He seems - and his manager Schwan quickly recognizes this - to be the ideal figure; he has marketable star potential. You can finally earn big money with him. It is a business model. Because Beckenbauer has incomparable charisma. Nothing he does looks like work, everything is filled with a lightness and elegance. Franz can do it - always with his attractive and tabloid-compatible wife Brigitte at his side.
