Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,920
I know people might think I'm crazy,
2
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,200
but it's important for me
to see white shoes when I look down.
3
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,720
It's...
4
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,120
I don't know if it's some kind
of psychological problem I have,
5
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,040
but my shoes have to be white
when I'm playing.
6
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,560
Otherwise I'm not happy.
7
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,520
Those are socks.
8
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280
We kept losing the ball in the attack
9
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720
and let them get
the better of us too easily.
10
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200
We didn't follow through on the tackles,
11
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,840
even though we had
several players out there
12
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,400
that are able to perform at this level.
13
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,200
They didn't do that.
14
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600
It doesn't mean we shouldn't bother
going to the World Cup.
15
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,760
But...
16
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,280
But it's obvious
that we've got a way to go.
17
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,440
We didn't retain possession,
we kept losing the ball too easily.
18
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,200
We lost it without putting up a fight.
19
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,840
Thanks, Toni.
20
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,560
Is this for me?
21
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,120
Is the police escort for us?
22
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Like for the president.
23
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,560
I don't know...
24
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,440
At some points I was a bit annoyed
25
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
because I know
we can do much better as a team.
26
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,840
Supposedly
it wasn't our first eleven, but...
27
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,680
But they always say,
28
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,240
"There are 30 to 40 talented players
and it's a close run thing."
29
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240
But if I want to go to the World Cup...
30
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,280
then I feel like one or two of them
need to perform better than that.
31
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960
But it's not the end of the world.
32
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,720
It's better for it to happen today
than later on at the World Cup.
33
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,280
I have the feeling
that I want to be there.
34
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,160
Because it's the nicest place to be.
35
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,280
Other places are okay,
36
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,920
but I love being at home with them.
37
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,000
It changes my mood completely.
38
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,640
I feel good being at home.
39
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,320
It's worth every hour of travel.
40
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,480
Flying around in the night
is not a problem.
41
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Lots of people say
42
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,080
that it doesn't make sense
43
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,400
or that it's too stressful.
44
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:32,640
But for me, nothing is so stressful
that it could keep me away from home.
45
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,280
That's just how I am.
Others feel differently.
46
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,600
Others don't feel the need
47
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,240
to have to get back home.
48
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,000
But I do.
49
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,760
And so does my wife.
50
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Bad pass there from Toni Kroos.
Not something you'd see at Real.
51
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,360
That lets the Swedes back in the game.
52
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Toivonen moves in. He shoots!
53
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,360
Goal for Sweden!
54
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Why are you guys
dawdling around at the back?
55
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Toni Kroos loses the ball
56
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,600
and with just one single pass,
Toivonen takes it,
57
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960
it goes straight past the defense,
58
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Neuer comes out, Toivonen lifts it
and the ball is in the net.
59
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,280
He made a pathetically bad pass.
60
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,080
And a bad pass from Toni Kroos
isn't just pathetic, it's excruciating.
61
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Toni Kroos doesn't make bad passes.
62
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,080
He lost the ball
and then didn't properly follow it.
63
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Sweden gets the goal.
Germany is finished.
64
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,680
In the preliminary round.
65
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520
It was clearly his fault.
66
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:36,440
We were looking for someone to blame,
and after that everyone said,
67
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,760
"Thanks, Toni,
for causing us this suffering."
68
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Rather than saying,
"We're all playing so badly.
69
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,400
Why should I make any effort?
Let's just fail."
70
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,160
He made himself
go back and prove himself again.
71
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Right after they scored that goal,
72
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,800
rather than going
and moping in the corner,
73
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,720
he said, "Come on. Let's go.
Give me the ball. We can do this."
74
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Ball goes high,
there could be a header.
75
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360
The knee! Goal!
76
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,680
Marco Reus is there
and he knees it in!
77
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,720
-Werner on the left.
-And it's a foul!
78
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,480
Right on the edge of the penalty area,
79
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,520
the German team gets a free kick.
80
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,120
Imagine it. It's 1-1.
81
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,800
After this free kick,
the whistle will blow.
82
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,600
Immediately after the free kick.
83
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,400
And if the game ends 1-1, you're out.
84
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,160
The score at that point was such
85
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,680
that if they left the pitch
1-1 to Sweden, they would be out.
86
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Kroos takes the ball right away.
He's shouldering the responsibility.
87
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,840
He's facing up to the challenge
with his technique and his ideas.
88
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,520
He won't take it straight away.
The angle is too tight.
89
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,960
The extra time has run out.
90
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Goal!
91
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,000
Goal! 2-1 to Germany!
92
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,680
Toni Kroos, assisted by Reus.
93
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,720
A free kick with his right foot
straight into the net!
94
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,080
He slammed it
into the corner of the net.
95
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,640
It was incredible.
96
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,560
And we were back to square one.
97
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,040
Within 10 seconds.
Football is like that sometimes.
98
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760
In just a few seconds,
you're back to square one.
99
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,640
It's an incredibly brutal business.
100
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,280
If you'd looked at people's faces
just two minutes earlier,
101
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,360
they were saying: "This is bullshit."
102
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:19,280
They thought it was over.
The mood was terrible.
103
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,720
One minute later,
we were world champions again.
104
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,040
2-1 to Germany!
I'm losing my mind!
105
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,240
There's an earthquake in Sochi!
106
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,120
The Black Sea is spilling over!
107
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,520
Germany is back in the tournament!
108
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,480
I'm speechless.
109
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,880
I'm crying here. I'm sorry.
110
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,280
It wasn't the final,
but what a rollercoaster that was!
111
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,240
That wand of a foot that he's got...
112
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,400
He's a Merlin, you know...
113
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,880
I knew that Germany
wasn't doing that great.
114
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,440
But then, one man
115
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,200
can kind of turn around
the fortunes of a whole nation.
116
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,480
And in that moment,
that was when I thought
117
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,040
Germany's World Cup was going to start.
118
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840
You know, and I think Germany did, too.
119
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,720
The defending champions
put on a sorry show in Russia.
120
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,920
For the first time ever,
Germany failed in the first round.
121
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,320
At the bottom of their group,
the team is now
122
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,720
out of the World Cup 2018.
123
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,840
When you wear the jersey,
you're responsible for the results
124
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,640
and you're assessed by those results.
125
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,960
That's very tough.
126
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
That shows what all football players
127
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,960
especially the players at the very top,
128
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840
have to go through and have to deal with.
129
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,120
Because after that,
three or four weeks later,
130
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840
you have to go back to your club
and score points.
131
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,640
That's a huge mental challenge.
132
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,320
Toni's always being accused
133
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600
of being laid-back and not caring.
134
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,640
But he's not like that, of course.
135
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,560
What I appreciate about Toni
136
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,960
is that he's incredibly confident.
137
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,720
He needs to be.
Sure, a lot of things affect him.
138
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,240
But he gets over them fairly quickly.
139
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,880
Other people might let things get to them
140
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,240
or keep playing things
over and over in their heads.
141
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,800
You can't survive like that.
142
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,080
Follow Daddy.
143
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,280
Just wait upstairs.
144
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,200
-Good?
-Yes, let's go.
145
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:34,320
Here we go, come on.
146
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,400
That's good, okay, big smile.
147
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:37,760
Serious face...
148
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,360
Look in this direction...
149
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,080
Thumbs up and that's it.
150
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,440
-Okay.
-Great.
151
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,000
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.
152
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760
-I do the interview and go out, okay?
-Okay.
153
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,640
-This way?
-Yeah.
154
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,600
Okay.
155
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,480
Take this seat... All right.
156
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,320
-In German?
-Yes.
157
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,840
And also, remember to include
in your answers, the question...
158
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Okay. Here we go.
159
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,960
-Hey.
-How are you?
160
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,560
-Great. And you?
-Fine.
161
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,840
-Ready?
-You're the one who has to be ready.
162
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,480
I don't have to do anything.
163
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,240
-Just chill out.
-Exactly.
164
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,800
Elevator this way?
165
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,520
You have the stairs and an elevator here.
166
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,640
Upstairs?
167
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,400
Here on the right.
168
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,280
Another set of stairs.
169
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,360
-Kroos! How are you?
-How are you?
170
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,440
-Hello.
-Hello, how are you? Good?
171
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,960
-Good.
-I'm fine.
172
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,400
-And you?
-Good.
173
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Great.
174
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,680
-Car for two, right?
-We need two cars.
175
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,360
Two cars, we need two cars.
176
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,200
Messi is going first, honey.
177
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,680
-Okay.
-Okay?
178
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,720
He can move away from the door.
179
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,880
By a miracle, they're all here...
180
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,640
Please welcome to the stage
the best football team on planet Earth.
181
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Toni Kroos!
182
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Thank you, gentlemen.
Make some noise, please!
183
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,280
I think people in Spain can't tell
what kind of person Toni Kroos is.
184
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,200
He's a player
who doesn't appear in public very often.
185
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,280
That's rare at Real Madrid.
186
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Players usually
have great societal relevance.
187
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,800
He's a very discrete person
who rarely appears in the public domain.
188
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,080
He's not often seen in the streets.
189
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,560
From our point of view,
he seems typically German.
190
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,520
That also goes for his looks.
191
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,960
He's blond, tall.
He doesn't laugh often.
192
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:12,120
He radiates a certain seriousness.
He seems extremely professional.
193
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,640
We look at a person from the outside
and judge the impression they make.
194
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,760
I wouldn't judge Kroos
by his appearance.
195
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Real Madrid is the golden standard.
196
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,960
It's the biggest, most important club
of the 20th century,
197
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,640
the most successful
and the most legendary.
198
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,400
Getting there is
the biggest achievement for a player.
199
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,880
And the biggest test, too.
200
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,080
Santiago Bernabéu told us we had to have
the best players in the world.
201
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,520
So I signed the best.
202
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,480
Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Owen.
203
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,200
Robinho...
204
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,040
Cristiano, Kaká, Benzema,
205
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,960
Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos.
206
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,600
And that works.
207
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,800
What that creates
208
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,560
is a very special type of glamour.
209
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,080
It lets the whole world know
210
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,080
that there's a world class player
in every position.
211
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,160
I don't mind saying that.
212
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:41,600
Real Madrid made me
feel small as a person, you know?
213
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,400
Made me feel as I've got a small penis.
214
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,280
And we're supposed to have
"the best league in the world."
215
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,040
And that doesn't make me feel good.
216
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,800
'Cause football is my religion,
217
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,920
and I don't want there to be
other gods that are bigger.
218
00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,400
What a chance... Ronaldo again!
219
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,600
Oh, my word!
220
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Ronaldo, the world's best footballer...
221
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,200
with and absolutely stunning goal!
222
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,640
Unbelievable!
223
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,160
Kroos moves in,
passes to Varane, rounds to Nacho...
224
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,600
And again!
225
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,120
Kroos to Marcelo, over to the left,
226
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,200
Asensio, Marcelo...
227
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,640
Goal!
228
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,880
Real Madrid's game always flows
to the rhythm of Toni Kroos.
229
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,520
I think...
230
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,320
...he's one of the most
important players on the team
231
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,640
because he controls the ball
and the rhythm that we play in.
232
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,360
If Toni wants the team
to slow down, we do.
233
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240
If he wants us to speed up, we do.
234
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,240
He decides everything.
235
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,960
The first fascinating thing about him
is that there's nothing special.
236
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:41,360
He's not especially tall.
237
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,320
He's not especially fast.
238
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,120
He's not especially vigorous.
239
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,960
At first glance, he's an average player.
240
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:52,600
Average weight, height and speed.
241
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,000
His special skill
is being able to see the game
242
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:01,400
more clearly, more quickly,
and differently than the others.
243
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,280
He's got great anticipation.
244
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,600
Not just in terms of the plays at hand,
245
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,200
but also of what could happen
as a result.
246
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,440
He can see the game three steps ahead.
247
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280
If you asked him
why he made a certain pass,
248
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:19,440
he might say,
"It was the logical thing to do."
249
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Or, "I didn't think anything."
250
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,640
That's his inexplicable genius,
251
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760
that's what fascinates us.
252
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,680
He's like a land surveyor.
253
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,480
Before architects
can build anything spectacular,
254
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,880
everything has to be carefully measured
255
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,840
and made perfectly flat.
256
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,520
Only after that can we move towards
the spectacular creations.
257
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,720
But he's already gone off
258
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,280
to ensure we don't mess up
anything over there.
259
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,360
Toni is...
260
00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:18,280
a guiding spirit, a conductor,
in the traditional sense of the word.
261
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Whenever I see him,
262
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,960
I feel like there's an orchestra.
263
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:27,160
He's a part of that orchestra,
264
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,960
but at the same time, he's outside it.
265
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,280
Some people say, "There he goes again,
with another cross pass."
266
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,560
No, he's controlling the ball.
267
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,520
He's balancing out the orchestra
268
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,160
and telling them not to reach
their peak just yet.
269
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:50,840
"It's a simple match right now.
270
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,800
Let's just keep things calm
and build up to that climax.
271
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,200
But you have to give me time
to lead you there."
272
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:04,480
Toni's greatest ability
273
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,800
is the excellent technique...
274
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,040
...that he brings to the game.
275
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,320
He's always looking up,
276
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,520
which gives him a fantastic overview.
277
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Considering other players
who play in that position,
278
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,520
he's one of the best two midfielders
in the world today.
279
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,280
He sees everything.
280
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,680
And that has to do with the fact
281
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,760
that he's always able to cope.
282
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,400
Whatever happens.
283
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,320
He's calm and collected.
284
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,440
The very greatest players
are mentally strong.
285
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,640
They're not just good football players,
286
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,120
they have to have clear heads, too.
287
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Nowadays, the brain decides much more
288
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,320
than the feet do.
289
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,520
The laser passing,
290
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,360
the 50 yard pass,
291
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,880
and it doesn't sort of loop either way,
292
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,480
it just goes straight
to the foot of the person.
293
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,400
And I don't think I've ever struck a ball
294
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,160
where the ball has done that.
295
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,240
Ever in my life...
296
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,000
You know, and he does it regularly,
all the time.
297
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,240
I loved watching Toni train.
298
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,640
I loved the sight of him training.
299
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:52,640
In training, he is just exceptional.
300
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,360
He really is.
301
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,440
I choose my words with care. It's simple.
302
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,560
I've never seen him lose the ball.
303
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,720
Okay, maybe one time.
304
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,240
It was always elegant and efficient.
305
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,680
He never has a bad day.
306
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,480
He loves to play football.
307
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,280
He always wants to play.
308
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,560
I think that connects us both.
309
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,200
The love for the game.
310
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,640
For me the game...
311
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,400
For me, the game comes first.
Win a game? Sure.
312
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,120
But by playing.
313
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,640
Sure, play defensively
so as not to lose the ball,
314
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,560
but the game comes first.
315
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,200
I think we both feel that way.
316
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,360
Toni is playing again tonight.
317
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,160
10 pm. Another late one.
318
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,600
We'll have to be ready by then.
319
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,000
Felix is playing at 1:30 pm today.
320
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,200
Toni was on TV yesterday.
321
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,600
-Why was that?
-Because of his stamps.
322
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,280
Oh, because of his tattoos?
323
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,440
-Yes.
-I think they're so silly.
324
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,560
But he knows that already.
325
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,800
Felix was the kind of boy who said,
326
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,280
"I can't do. I won't do it.
It doesn't work."
327
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,920
And when Felix
would get annoyed and grumpy,
328
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,440
then Toni found it hilarious.
329
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,320
He'd laugh at him
and Felix would sulk even more.
330
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,200
That was how it went. We saw that a lot.
331
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,640
-Hello!
-Here we are with the family.
332
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,320
There's the birthday boy!
333
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,800
The family's future football star!
334
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,560
-What?
-The future football star!
335
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,360
The garden is still there.
336
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,240
Yeah. And Grandma and Grandpa
are still there, too.
337
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,360
That's true.
338
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,600
When Grandma and Grandpa visit,
339
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,120
Grandpa always has a piece of advice.
340
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,200
"When the goalkeeper comes out too far,
then lob it."
341
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,480
The goalkeeper is often on the ground,
342
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,440
but they keep shooting towards him.
343
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,480
Can't they lift the ball up and over him?
344
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,880
I mean, it's difficult...
345
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,520
You have to shoot quickly.
346
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,640
But can't they kick it... any higher?
347
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,080
I think there's room
for improvement there.
348
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,240
Another piece of advice from Grandpa:
349
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,840
"Don't run too much in the first half.
Save energy for the second."
350
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,040
I often follow that one.
351
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,840
Granddad is funny. He really is.
352
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,160
That's the Toni that I know.
353
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,840
Calm and composed.
354
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,440
-He gets that from his grandma.
-Me?
355
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,200
Yes, you're the calm one.
356
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,480
I get so nervous!
357
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,280
No, it's not from me.
It must come from the father's side.
358
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,960
He knows he can do it.
359
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,120
When you're so technically skilled,
why would you get nervous?
360
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,240
Well, you'd be nervous.
361
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,000
But we don't know where Toni gets it.
362
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,320
We've wondered about that.
Maybe ask Roland again.
363
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,600
Yes, okay.
364
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,760
With the number 8, Tom Selchow.
365
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,760
With the number 10, Marco Kröger.
366
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320
And with the 16, Fatlind Memaj.
367
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,760
And Greifswald FC's trainer, Roland Kroos.
368
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Keep it under control!
369
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Come on, Ryo.
370
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,880
Hand up!
371
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,400
Don't lose contact with the ball.
Keep moving!
372
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,320
What was that? Come on!
373
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,600
Move along, come on!
374
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,280
Come on, next one. Come on!
375
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,400
Go on, Nick!
376
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,480
Keep up the pace!
377
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,560
Get between them!
378
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,480
Are you blind?
379
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,560
In the 57th minute,
380
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,200
the visiting team Hertha Zehlendorf
takes the lead with 2-1.
381
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Toni has such inner peace.
I wonder myself where it comes from.
382
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,280
I didn't have it
when I used to play sport.
383
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,760
Felix doesn't either.
384
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,240
It must be something
that he learned himself.
385
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,560
He's been like that a long time,
ever since he was little.
386
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,680
People from Mecklenburg have a reputation
387
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,640
for being a little introverted and quiet,
388
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,920
not immediately out-going and extroverted.
389
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,400
Toni personifies that perfectly.
390
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,160
He's accused of being apathetic,
but he's really not at all.
391
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,560
That's what he seems like on the outside.
392
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Inside things often look very different.
393
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,120
He's an emotional person.
394
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,760
Maybe it's a bit like a wall
that you build around yourself.
395
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,960
You don't open up
or reveal yourself to just anybody.
396
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,160
When we first got together
397
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,160
and I would introduce him to friends,
I would tell them to be nice.
398
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,320
Because the way he acts,
399
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:42,520
he might come across as a bit...
400
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,440
a bit strange.
401
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,160
Maybe because he seems disinterested
or he doesn't do small talk
402
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,480
like other people might do.
403
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,640
But he needs time to warm up to people.
404
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,720
It's not easy, it's not easy...
405
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,640
That's why, maybe, some big players
that played here, they didn't succeed.
406
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:22,600
Because, mentally, it's not easy.
407
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,440
You have to be on the high level,
all the time.
408
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:32,880
Because Real Madrid
doesn't permit you to be less than
409
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:34,560
good.
410
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,520
Go in - even where there's no match on -
and just look down.
411
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
It gets to you.
Even when there's nobody there.
412
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,480
It's enormous.
413
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,640
And it's the biggest in the world.
414
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,480
If you go there,
you've got your work cut out for you.
415
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,960
You can't even hide behind a color,
416
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:10,040
you stand there in a snow white jersey,
like a damsel.
417
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,280
Everyone can see you,
everyone judges everything you do.
418
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,640
It's easy to go mad there, or fail.
419
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,240
-You're sweating?
-I am.
420
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,800
We should do this in... I don't know...
421
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,960
But not in Miami.
422
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,040
-Now relax, stay there. You feel that?
-No, it's okay. It's good.
423
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,240
Tell me when you feel...
424
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,840
In Spanish we say... It's the same.
425
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,840
-Okay, I...
-Mind same, and body same. It's the same.
426
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,360
I don't understand one word what you said.
427
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,800
-In Spanish?
-Mind same, and body same.
428
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,400
-It's the same.
-Yeah, it's okay.
429
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,240
-I know what you mean, but...
-It's not so difficult.
430
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,880
-It sounds weird.
-You never nervous.
431
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,280
-Me?
-Never.
432
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,920
-No? You don't think?
-Well, in the games,
433
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,840
in the games, I have seen you
take the phone to speak,
434
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,120
you should go outside to play,
435
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,400
take off the phone, go outside and play...
436
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,560
Come inside to a half,
437
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,960
watch just a little bit, answer, like...
438
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,840
Yeah, I buy the tomatoes
when I came back home.
439
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,320
-Incredible, like you are...
-It's better like this, no?
440
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,640
-If it's... I know, I know.
-Yeah, but not every people can do this.
441
00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:00,800
Not every people can have this cold mind
442
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,200
to go outside in front of 80,000 people.
443
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,480
For me, it's just football.
444
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,520
Yes, football, yeah, but this is the key.
445
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,760
If you give not much
importance to things...
446
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,920
No, I give much importance to this...
447
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,640
I also trust in me, but it's not always
so easy how it looks like.
448
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:24,240
If it looks easy, my job is done.
449
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,400
-Your staff says the same, Iceman...
-Iceman.
450
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:34,400
That you don't have doubts
and your moves is, like, clear... Inside.
451
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,800
It's like, never...
452
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,200
-And no celebrating?
-Just do this.
453
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,600
Keep your foot straight.
Some of you... Keep it straight.
454
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,400
Keep it straight.
455
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,840
Hanno, keep it straight.
The ball is curving too much.
456
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:01,080
Toni always enjoyed kicking a ball
around the field.
457
00:40:01,240 --> 00:40:04,840
You could tell right away
that he was good with the ball.
458
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,400
He started training at the age of five
459
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,560
and by the age of six,
he was spending a lot of time there.
460
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,120
His father supervised it all from day one.
461
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,520
Roland always had it under control.
462
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,360
From the very start.
463
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,440
Then he became the trainer himself.
464
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,800
Dad could kill two birds with one stone:
465
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,760
spend time with us
466
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,680
and use his skills
as a trainer at the same time.
467
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,080
He had a good eye for it
468
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,480
and he really supported us.
469
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,560
While we grew as players,
he grew as a trainer.
470
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,120
Get ready!
471
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,680
Toni took to it overnight.
472
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,960
Show him once and he could do it:
473
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,640
shooting with right and left,
474
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,880
step overs, dribbling,
getting past an opponent.
475
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,120
And from an early age.
476
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:15,760
He was never the quickest,
but he could think quicker,
477
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,080
and I think that nowadays
478
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:21,640
that's one
of his key features as a player.
479
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,920
Best player of the tournament
was Toni Kroos from Greifswald FC.
480
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,880
Hi, my name is Toni Kroos.
I play for the Hansa D1 youth team.
481
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,080
And I predict 1-0 to Hansa.
482
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,560
Hansa was in the first division back then
483
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,680
and the youth training center
had a good reputation.
484
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,680
It soon became clear
485
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,560
that the club
wanted to have me and Felix too.
486
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,480
I sometimes wonder how we managed
to wake up so early back then.
487
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,760
We usually had training before school.
488
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,440
Then we'd go to school.
489
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,640
We'd go back home
for maybe half an hour or an hour
490
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,640
and quickly eat something
491
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,400
and then go to training again.
492
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,800
You'd get back some time in the evening
493
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,280
and then you were meant to do homework.
494
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,720
I often neglected that. So did you.
495
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,160
Yeah...
496
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,040
The day was organized
around school and football.
497
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,200
You have your own ambitions too,
of course.
498
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,360
You have to be very careful.
499
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,840
There are times
where you have to ask yourself
500
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:07,320
if your own ambition
isn't overshadowing that of the kids.
501
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:11,200
I would be lying if I said
it's not like that.
502
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,720
At some point, when you realize
how much talent you're dealing with,
503
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,240
then that makes you want
to take the next step
504
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,360
and help the kids
to become professional football players.
505
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,600
And I think that if you don't
understand the situation,
506
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,080
you can make mistakes.
507
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,080
He was 50% dad and 50% trainer.
508
00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:37,800
Of course something gets lost
509
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,480
when you train with your father
and he has to treat you like the others,
510
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:45,360
or even be a little more strict
than with the others.
511
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,080
I didn't protest,
because I liked it back then.
512
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:50,960
But looking back,
I think it was a bit too much.
513
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,680
Looking at our father-son relationship,
514
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,280
I think that suffered a little.
515
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:17,760
So many things in my life have changed,
you become famous,
516
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,400
and things around you change.
517
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,320
You lose family, you lose friends,
518
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,000
you gain new family and new friends.
519
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:31,560
You have to leave your town behind,
'cause of things that happened.
520
00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:38,000
One of the main stays in my life,
that's always been there for me,
521
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:43,320
that's always been constant,
has been football.
522
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,880
It's been like a father to me...
523
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,600
A brother to me, and a best friend.
524
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,400
Yeah, football is a religion to me.
525
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,280
Football creates moments of passion,
526
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,360
like nothing else in the world can.
527
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:16,040
It stirs up more emotions
than anything else.
528
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,720
If a film director
could create the same emotions,
529
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,360
then they'd be the most famous
director in the world
530
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,240
and film-making would be
the best-paid business.
531
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,200
It stirs up emotions that you perhaps
don't normally feel so strongly.
532
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,440
Football suddenly allows you to cry.
533
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:53,560
Many men can't,
even if something bad happens.
534
00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:56,480
But watching football,
they're suddenly crying.
535
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,720
Find me somebody
536
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,040
who can say,
"I couldn't care less about football."
537
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,960
It would be interesting
to see how that happened.
538
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,040
I'm not judging them.
539
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,520
How did they manage not to get
swept up in this madness
540
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,120
at some point in their life?
541
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,440
Football is a game
where almost everything fails,
542
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,800
where you make plans,
but they turn out differently.
543
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,120
That makes football
an amorphous kind of nothingness.
544
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,160
When non-regulars go to see a game,
they soon realize not much happens.
545
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,320
Those 90 minutes are fairly boring.
546
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,840
80% of the significant passes
don't reach the players,
547
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,360
80% of the chances go to waste.
548
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,280
Very little actually works out.
549
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,640
It's a game
where you're always desperately trying
550
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,040
to bring order to disorder,
551
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,880
and to bring chaos under control,
even though that's impossible.
552
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:26,800
Toni Kroos' passes go through
about 95% of the time.
553
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,800
That means he's a player
who keeps the game going.
554
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,880
Give him the ball and he passes it on.
555
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,720
There are no errors in the system.
556
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,880
While the others are battling
557
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,120
not to get lost in that confusion,
558
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,120
Toni Kroos stands out as someone
559
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,320
who even in the most stressful situations
560
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,520
shows utter control,
effortlessness and peace of mind.
561
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,240
Somebody has run into a dead end
562
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,800
and there are three mutts
about to go for his throat.
563
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,560
Kroos always appears from somewhere
and says, "Give it here."
564
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,440
"Give it here. I've got this."
565
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,520
And then he's...
566
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,640
He can breathe again.
567
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:31,240
These days, in football,
where everything is so quick,
568
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,640
up and down like rush hour, you know?
569
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:38,800
Everything is happening so fast,
but for him, no.
570
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,520
For him, seems everything
to be in slow motion.
571
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,320
Football intensifies your emotions.
572
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,800
You can feel love and hate
573
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,640
and get swept up in it all.
574
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,280
He represents the opposite of that:
575
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,720
the rational nature of the game.
576
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,400
He's not there
to make crazy things happen,
577
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,680
he's there to ensure
that things play out rationally,
578
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,720
in the midst of that chaos.
579
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,080
And a lot of people seemingly
don't know what to do with that.
580
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,680
Roland said, "I think Uli Hoeneß called."
581
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,720
I said, "No, he didn't." "He did."
582
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,120
When he called us up,
583
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,880
it just felt completely surreal.
584
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,200
We had a normal conversation,
585
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,800
but we were like,
"Wow. This can't be real."
586
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,440
Then the call was over
and we sat there and said,
587
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,600
"Did that just happen or was I dreaming?"
588
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,680
It was...
589
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,320
It was all just a bit too much
at that moment.
590
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,920
I thought about it for a long time.
591
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,120
My favorite club, Werder Bremen,
was also an option,
592
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:03,760
and it was closer to home.
593
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,160
But at some point,
I let go of that idea, too,
594
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:11,600
because I decided
that I had to pursue my own path.
595
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,320
He left when he was 16.
596
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,000
That was very difficult for me.
597
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,560
I kept laying the table for four people
598
00:50:18,720 --> 00:50:20,360
and sitting down and crying.
599
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,720
Even though Felix was still there,
thank goodness.
600
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,960
But I had the feeling
that he wasn't coming back.
601
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,080
He's gone and he's not coming back.
602
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:30,840
And he didn't.
603
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,560
It's normal to get 14 and 15-year-olds
from around the world nowadays
604
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,280
and bring them to Munich.
605
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,880
It's questionable, of course.
I'm not a fan of it.
606
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,160
But there's no way of stopping it now.
607
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,560
It was an experiment back then
608
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,520
to take a 16-year-old
609
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,000
away from his family.
610
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,160
We knew that we were taking on
a huge social responsibility.
611
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,520
He never showed us
how he was really feeling.
612
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,120
I think it was tough
for him, too, at first.
613
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:16,560
But he didn't show it, of course.
So I can't say for sure.
614
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:42,440
The first year is always the hardest.
615
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,720
I cried a lot because I missed my family.
616
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,760
But Toni was nearly 1,000 km
away from home.
617
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,720
And I was only 200 km away.
618
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,960
But both distances
619
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:59,320
mean that you no longer
see each other every day.
620
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,800
It forms character, though.
621
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:07,360
You grow up very quickly.
622
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,720
If this kid doesn't grow up
to be a football superstar,
623
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,680
then I'm clueless about football.
624
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,640
I told him that at Bayern Munich
after only a few months.
625
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,400
Because he...
626
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,480
He wasn't nervous at all.
627
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:37,080
Other players get diarrhea
three days before a game.
628
00:52:37,240 --> 00:52:39,320
But Toni wasn't one of them.
629
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,080
He was always sure of what he could do.
630
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:48,400
Even in bad matches,
you could see that he had something
631
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,360
that most young people don't.
632
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,320
And that is talent on the ball.
633
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,440
You even saw that in bad matches.
634
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,120
Even Franz Beckenbauer
played badly sometimes,
635
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,040
but you still saw that he could
do things others would never learn.
636
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,560
It was like that with Toni, too.
637
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,920
In the 81st minute,
Ottmar Hitzfeld had an idea.
638
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,040
With the score at 2-1 to Belgrade,
17-year-old Toni Kroos was brought on.
639
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:18,120
His first free kick
helped Klose level it up to 2-2.
640
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,960
His next free kick became a goal
that made it 3-2 to Bayern.
641
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,360
Then came the whistle.
He's the match-winner, that's for sure.
642
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,240
I'm sorry?
643
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:30,920
Who was the match-winner? Lúcio.
644
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,320
Okay? He was the best man on the pitch.
645
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,320
He played an exceptional game today.
Not Toni Kroos.
646
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,800
Stop exaggerating.
It's not good to praise boys too much.
647
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,360
He got it to 2-2 and then 3-2...
648
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,800
Fine, the free kick.
But even you and I could do that!
649
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,840
-Good morning.
-Good morning.
650
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,080
Thank you for coming.
651
00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:00,040
Toni is 17 now.
He's turning 18 in January.
652
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,880
He's a very young lad
653
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:06,600
and there's no point hyping him up now
to world star status,
654
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:09,680
only for the same people
who are now lifting him up
655
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,600
to drop him again in the future.
656
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,800
We don't want to be among those people,
657
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,520
so we've decided we will protect him.
658
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,800
We hope he'll be at Bayern for 15 years.
659
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,360
There are so many games left to play,
there's no need to rush into things.
660
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,040
Here's a little story.
661
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,800
Normally the foreign players
go to the "club".
662
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,400
That's what we call the circle
of foreigners on the training field.
663
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,920
Toni surprised us by coming
to play with the Spanish players.
664
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,040
We all noticed that.
665
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,360
He's integrated really well
666
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,640
and we always joke around with him.
667
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,240
So he quickly became a part of the team
668
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,960
after he arrived.
669
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,120
He's very, kind of, structured
in what he does, he's very organized.
670
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,960
So, I come in quite early
to get some treatment off the physio,
671
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,480
to get prepared for training.
672
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,800
He has his, maybe two or three
pairs of boots, always the same.
673
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,640
And never changes them, so yeah,
674
00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:25,360
I think doesn't trust the kit man
so much to look after them, so...
675
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,800
He's always in the boot-room, cleaning,
making sure his boots are perfect.
676
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,120
And well looked after, because he
doesn't like to change them too much.
677
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,760
The way he behaves and plays
678
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,880
makes people
come to the stadium to see him.
679
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:49,400
They don't just come to see a win,
but to see how he passes the ball.
680
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:54,640
For me he's one of those players
who was born
681
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,680
to play for Real Madrid.
682
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,800
-Welcome.
-How are you?
683
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,400
Aren't you too warm in that?
You'll just have to suffer.
684
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,320
-Where do we go? There?
-Yeah.
685
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:13,240
-Hello.
-The best German player.
686
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,120
That's not difficult, is it?
687
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:17,880
Yes, it is.
688
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,000
Not at the moment.
689
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,840
Everything all right? You rested good?
690
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,840
Okay, So, we are ready, here...
691
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,680
-We are happy.
-Happy also. Yeah, you, too?
692
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,560
My wife is happy,
which is a good sign for the club, also.
693
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,040
No, but it's true, it's true.
694
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,520
If they're not happy,
then everything is wrong.
695
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,240
For some reason, German players
in this club have always been excellent.
696
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,600
It's strange, and some of them,
really important
697
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,080
but I think that the most important one
is going to be Toni.
698
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,400
Already we've had Günter Netzer and
we had Uli Stielike and all these people.
699
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,600
I think that the most important one
is going to be Toni.
700
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,080
Is already Toni.
701
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:04,200
-Okay, we should do this. Shall we?
-Yeah. But I have no idea of this.
702
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,160
Okay, I'll leave you here,
and I'll be there...
703
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:11,440
You'll have to explain,
because I only know the numbers.
704
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,720
Not anything else.
705
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,760
Right.
706
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,160
You'll come after?
707
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,920
I think so. Unless something happens.
708
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,880
We should be okay.
709
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,760
Can we turn off the sound for a moment?
710
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:06,000
Do you think it's normal
that you need five copies of something?
711
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,880
-It's ridiculous.
-Yeah.
712
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,520
-Got everything?
-Yes.
713
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:24,120
-Done.
-Thank you.
714
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,440
-Come here.
-Congratulations.
715
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,920
I'm happy, you know?
716
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,400
Thank you, my friend.
717
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:33,600
Congratulations.
718
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,960
Congratulations.
719
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,200
Good work, my friend.
720
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:42,920
Let's go.
721
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
We'll take it with us
and pass it on to your wife.
722
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,000
Yeah.
723
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,120
Daddy, now backwards.
724
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,000
You really want to?
725
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:02,960
Okay, let's go.
726
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,560
Go!
727
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:13,560
We've lived in Madrid for four years
and I've never been into the city.
728
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:15,360
We're not really city types.
729
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,960
We stay at home
like an old married couple.
730
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,840
At first, it was still possible
731
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,360
to go somewhere with Toni.
732
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:34,120
Since the World Cup in 2014,
I consider it almost impossible.
733
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,080
We're not really the kind of people
734
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,680
who feel the need to go out.
735
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,240
We love being at home
736
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,480
and near the kids,
737
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,680
even at night when they're sleeping.
738
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:53,520
There's external pressure
to travel and to get away,
739
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,760
but I know that nothing can happen to me,
740
00:59:56,840 --> 01:00:00,000
because when I go home
my family is there for me.
741
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,760
If I've won 5-0 or lost 5-0,
it doesn't matter at all.
742
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,320
I arrive home as a husband, as a dad,
743
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,600
and the match we lost is forgotten.
744
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,640
It's the same when we win a match.
745
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:16,040
That's what keeps me going.
It's why I perform.
746
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,360
That and the sport itself, of course.
747
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,720
We were both very young.
Toni was 18, I was 20.
748
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,360
We met in Fuerteventura.
749
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,040
I wouldn't say something went
"Bam!" right away,
750
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,320
but he was just such a...
He is such a great person.
751
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,520
We met in Germany soon after.
752
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,160
At some point,
we knew that we were a couple.
753
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,840
When Jessy came into my life,
754
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:56,920
everything made more sense,
755
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,360
because I had something
756
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:03,000
which felt more important than the rest.
More important than football.
757
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,800
Football had been
the most important thing until then.
758
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,000
Everything else came after.
759
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:15,760
I'm sorry I can't always
Tell you and show you
760
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,920
What I feel inside
And how much you matter to me
761
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:28,680
But I'm not sorry
That things are as they are now
762
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:33,680
No, I'm not sorry about that
763
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:38,640
He surpasses himself in many ways.
764
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:44,760
He changed a lot since the kids were born.
765
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,400
It's clear how much that matters to him
766
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,880
and how grown up he's become.
767
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:55,440
She's my wife of course,
but she's also my best friend.
768
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,880
I'd be lying if I said we never argue,
769
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,680
but it's never happened...
770
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,880
that it lasted long
or had big consequences.
771
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,360
I never had to sleep on the couch
or anything like that.
772
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,080
He's always there for you.
773
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:23,120
If I need him,
I know I can rely on him completely.
774
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,200
I think that's a very important virtue.
775
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:32,280
And I'm happy that he's my older brother.
776
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,000
It's not that I look up to him,
777
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,440
I think we consider each other equals.
778
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:42,440
That's important, because I don't look
at him as the great football player.
779
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,480
I see him as brother and a normal person.
780
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:49,240
The love between the two of us
is more important.
781
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,440
We wish each other the very best.
782
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,160
I am absolutely serious when I say
that I'd have no problem with it
783
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,760
if Felix played for Real Madrid
and became World Champion
784
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,800
and we changed places.
785
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:05,840
Me neither.
786
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,960
In 2008, Klinsmann became Bayern's coach.
787
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,120
In the previous season,
with Ottmar Hitzfeld,
788
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,240
I'd played about 20 to 25 times.
789
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,400
I was 17 years old.
790
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:39,280
I was often told how great I was
and how well I was doing,
791
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,000
but I never got to play.
792
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,920
I never lost faith in myself though.
793
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,480
Because I was completely certain
that the trainer was wrong.
794
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,480
It was...
795
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:56,160
It was completely clear to me
that I deserved more.
796
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,560
I think it just didn't fit.
797
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:03,200
Looking back, he didn't fit at Bayern.
798
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:07,800
And then his dad fought hard
to move him to Leverkusen.
799
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,120
On loan from Bayern,
800
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,400
he's playing in left midfield,
801
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,160
but when taking corners,
he's center stage.
802
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,560
Kroos has the first chance of the match
and uses it to take it 1-0.
803
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,640
Working his magic with the ball.
804
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,520
This season Toni Kroos has become
805
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,640
a top class midfielder.
806
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,960
Toni needs time to trust a person.
807
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,640
It can become a wonderful connection.
808
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:50,240
You had to put Toni on the right path,
809
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,320
but then it worked.
810
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,760
But you needed
811
01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:00,960
a little tenacity and power for that.
812
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,880
The trainer was like a father to him.
813
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,360
He took him by the hand
and said, "That's how you do it."
814
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,840
And the team was different.
815
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,240
The team was much friendlier.
816
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:17,840
They'd meet up
and have barbecues together.
817
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:21,760
The relationships between them
were much more natural.
818
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,040
Not like in Munich,
where it was all a little posh.
819
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,520
He made progress there.
820
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,280
The sums of money
that were being discussed
821
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,680
made us think,
"Wow. Maybe we do need an expert."
822
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,120
Roland made sure he found
a consulting firm that suited Toni.
823
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,040
Shall we go home?
824
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,080
Taking the ball with you?
825
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,040
He'll have it in bed with him tonight.
826
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,800
Toni got on very well
827
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,840
with the agents fairly quickly,
828
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,240
They soon became more like friends to him.
829
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:05,760
It wasn't
like a typical agent relationship.
830
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,200
Roland was soon out of the picture.
831
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,480
I'm sure they got a lot more for him
than Roland could have.
832
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,040
But he was still his father
and he was always there
833
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:22,320
for Toni to talk to in the early days.
834
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,760
But he was out of the picture
when it came to the sporting side.
835
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,760
And that was a change.
836
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,280
After having been
beside him the whole time.
837
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:56,680
It was very difficult for me to let go.
838
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:58,640
I can admit that.
839
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,200
Because...
840
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:07,720
You always think there's something
you can do to help,
841
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,760
but you have to realize
that at some point you can't anymore.
842
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,920
That's difficult to accept, I think.
843
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,080
All of a sudden,
that's just the way it is.
844
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:23,000
When someone says,
"I don't want that anymore, Dad."
845
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,080
You feel a little offended at first.
846
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:30,080
I hoped that it might mean
847
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,920
that we could stop
having those conversations
848
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,200
about football and contracts.
849
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,760
And that we could talk
about personal, private things instead.
850
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,960
Someone was going to take over,
851
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,160
someone professional,
who would do a better job,
852
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,680
and also who understood football.
853
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:56,520
The job would be in good hands
and he'd be able to let go.
854
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,000
Get in there! Great!
855
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,720
See?
856
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,240
Hannes?
857
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:51,720
Do you have work on Friday?
858
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,400
Yeah? No training?
859
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,560
But you know what to do?
860
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,360
Toni was so happy at Bayer Leverkusen,
861
01:10:03,440 --> 01:10:06,760
he didn't want
to go back to Bayern Munich.
862
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:08,960
There he was, a young person,
863
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:13,200
who wants to stay and carry on playing
for Bayer Leverkusen.
864
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,120
But he can't.
865
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,280
I started thinking about
what I should do next.
866
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,400
And ultimately I chose,
867
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:27,600
once again, the less comfortable option.
868
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:29,840
I said, "Okay, I'll go back
869
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,920
and try once again
to make my mark in Munich."
870
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,480
Shortly after that, my contract
with Bayern Munich was extended.
871
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,880
We signed the contract
in Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's office.
872
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:43,680
It was...
873
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:51,640
Ten minutes afterwards,
I regretted having signed it.
874
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:56,280
Because I didn't feel like the club
was happy with the extension.
875
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,680
It seemed more like the club
was making me feel
876
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:04,280
like I should be happy
at being allowed to sign it.
877
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:09,200
And when I signed,
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said something
878
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,240
about what a great contract I had gotten,
879
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,720
which meant that now it was up to me
to play a little bit better.
880
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,200
How often do you get
a Champions League final
881
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:37,600
in your own stadium?
882
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,840
The people were euphoric.
883
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:45,360
The fans were in a frenzy.
884
01:11:45,440 --> 01:11:47,480
I'd never seen the city
885
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,520
in such a euphoric state before.
886
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,440
And that's the way we went into the game.
887
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,480
There was no way
that the Chelsea team could win.
888
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:10,200
The team wasn't good,
they had already peaked.
889
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,240
They had many injuries
and suspended players.
890
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,120
It was all wrapped up.
891
01:12:17,040 --> 01:12:20,360
Bayern was clearly
going to walk away with the trophy.
892
01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:24,200
Robben, Ribéry, and... Oh!
893
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,160
They've won 60% of all tackles
and had 60% ball possession.
894
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,720
Only the goal is missing. Ribéry... Čech.
895
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,880
Heynckes and his favorite pupil, Kroos.
896
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,800
Kroos. Luiz.
897
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:44,600
Müller, Gómez... Gómez!
898
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,200
They did everything right and did it well!
899
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,160
For a long time,
it felt like it would work out.
900
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:56,320
The Chelsea team was so inferior
and Bayern had the ball
901
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,600
and was dictating the game.
902
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,120
Kroos.
903
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,280
Müller!
904
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:05,880
Goal!
905
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:07,840
Goal!
906
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:11,440
And about time.
907
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,240
Bayern! Bayern!
908
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,720
Bayern is raising the roof!
909
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,200
Nice cross from Toni Kroos
910
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,480
and then Müller
somehow manages to head it in.
911
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,480
Müller scored that goal and it felt like,
912
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:29,640
"Okay, this is over.
913
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,720
Just like we expected.
Let's go home and celebrate."
914
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:38,240
But then came Didier Drogba
and had another idea.
915
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:41,920
-Get in...
-1-1!
916
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,800
-I don't believe it!
-Drogba!
917
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,120
Didier Drogba in the 89th minute.
918
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,560
Okay, this is terrible.
919
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:02,800
Drogba's header made it 1-1
in the very last minute.
920
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Extra time. Penalties.
921
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:08,480
The question now is:
922
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:13,120
Will we be seeing those players
who missed penalties against Madrid?
923
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,040
Toni Kroos, Philipp Lahm?
924
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:18,480
Who's got the balls to do this?
925
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,600
Before the penalty shoot-out,
you got the sense
926
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:26,520
that Bayern wasn't prepared for it.
927
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:29,640
Normally, before a game like that,
928
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:32,760
you would have considered
every single eventuality
929
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,680
and have a very clear idea
of what was going to happen.
930
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,520
But there was chaos on the pitch.
931
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:42,520
You could see everything became frantic.
932
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,400
I remember seeing poor Jupp Heynckes
933
01:14:45,480 --> 01:14:48,800
struggling to get the players together.
934
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:50,960
That was unusual.
935
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:54,080
Jupp Heynckes normally
had the team totally under control.
936
01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:58,120
It was a shame
that some of them ducked out.
937
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:01,000
People who could
and should have taken the penalties.
938
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,880
I was ready to take a penalty, of course.
939
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,920
But I wasn't completely convinced
that I would score.
940
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,560
So for the good of the team
I wanted better scorers,
941
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,560
or people who felt more confident,
942
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:20,960
to take them.
943
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,360
Neuer. And it's in!
944
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,640
Olić is foiled by Čech.
945
01:15:33,440 --> 01:15:35,160
Bastian Schweinsteiger.
946
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,160
If someone had predicted
this would happen,
947
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,440
they would have been sent out of town.
948
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,120
Didier Drogba.
949
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:54,840
Out.
950
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,960
Chelsea wins the Champions League.
951
01:16:09,160 --> 01:16:12,000
This is devastating.
952
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:28,120
No.
953
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,760
If you made Toni Kroos take a penalty
954
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:37,160
with a blindfold on at midnight,
he'd still manage to score.
955
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:39,760
But there he didn't take one.
956
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,800
Saying Toni Kroos didn't have the balls
957
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,880
to take that penalty,
that's just laughable.
958
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,680
If anyone has balls, it's him.
959
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,640
He's clever enough to know
whether he should take one or not.
960
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,040
I was in a situation like that.
961
01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:59,880
I didn't want to take a penalty
in the final in 1976.
962
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,840
Beckenbauer said, "You're not seriously
letting the kids take them?"
963
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,000
Fine. So I took the penalty.
964
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,920
And we all know the result.
965
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:20,320
The fascinating thing about that
was that Toni Kroos did something
966
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:22,760
that was very typical of him.
967
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,560
He made a decision
based on rational logic and reason.
968
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:31,240
If they had won on penalties,
he would have been applauded
969
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:34,320
for not letting his ego
get the better of him,
970
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,880
for being sensible and having
good judgment of his own skills.
971
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,040
But because they lost on penalties,
972
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:45,960
his decision not to take one,
which originally was sensible,
973
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,120
suddenly seems very different.
974
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:53,160
That contributes to the reputation
he had at Bayern Munich
975
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,120
of being a player
who shies away from responsibility,
976
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:57,960
which is very un-German.
977
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,000
Being a player that ducks out
in the crucial moment,
978
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,200
Toni, one moment please.
979
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,720
There was a suspicion
surrounding this generation.
980
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:09,760
I call it the "Oliver Kahn suspicion":
981
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,760
That they didn't have the guts
to clinch the big titles.
982
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:16,080
And Toni Kroos embodied that suspicion.
983
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,680
Because he was never cocky,
he doesn't play a melodramatic game,
984
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,400
he never said, "We'll destroy them"
985
01:18:23,480 --> 01:18:26,640
or "We'll tear up the pitch"
or "We'll go all out".
986
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:30,920
You'd never hear Kroos
make aggressive statements like that.
987
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:36,480
Then in the final they suffered
that unfortunate, lame defeat.
988
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:41,440
In a way, Toni Kroos
was the ideal scapegoat.
989
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:49,560
Football is very passionate.
990
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,880
The fans like those players
991
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,800
that run a lot and jump and fight,
992
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,800
players who make big statements
and create huge moments.
993
01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:59,840
Lots of people like that.
994
01:18:59,920 --> 01:19:03,440
Toni is a very intelligent,
rational player,
995
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:04,880
and very calm.
996
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:09,800
So often, when things go wrong,
997
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,600
we look to lay the blame
998
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,360
on those players who seem
to be more cold and technical.
999
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,160
But when things go wrong,
1000
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:23,880
those players are the bravest,
the most courageous.
1001
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,240
The loudest players
often sneak off and hide
1002
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:29,400
in those tricky moments.
1003
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:32,560
Toni is the opposite:
he's a very calm player,
1004
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,160
but in the difficult moments,
he's the bravest of all.
1005
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,960
When we meet a person,
1006
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,240
we form an image of them.
1007
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:48,200
And it's hard to get that image
out of our heads.
1008
01:19:48,440 --> 01:19:52,040
I think that's why lots of people
at Bayern Munich,
1009
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:56,800
including Karl-Heinz Rummenigge,
who's running the whole operation,
1010
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,200
were looking more closely at his mistakes
1011
01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,600
than at his capabilities.
1012
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,200
For the fans, he was "Cross Pass Toni".
1013
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:12,800
"Here he goes with another little pass.
But nothing ever happens!"
1014
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:19,520
Kroos just played like this
1015
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,800
and this and this.
1016
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,160
Unspectacular.
1017
01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:27,560
It never had any immediate,
explosive result.
1018
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,640
It had something - if you'll excuse me -
something boring.
1019
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,320
It was like a metronome somehow,
1020
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,040
his style of playing.
1021
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,040
I thought that with him,
Bayern wasn't going anywhere.
1022
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:49,520
Nowadays, you often face
very personal criticism.
1023
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:53,800
As a football player you like to say,
"That doesn't matter to me.
1024
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:55,920
I don't care. I don't let it get to me."
1025
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,520
He would never show it,
but I know him well enough
1026
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:04,120
to know that he does think about it
and that it gets to him sometimes.
1027
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:08,800
Not showing any weakness
isn't the most important thing to him,
1028
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:12,560
but it's something
that does make him feel strong.
1029
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:18,040
I think he needs to not show weakness,
he grew up that way.
1030
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,640
That sometimes affects
his private life as well.
1031
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:25,320
He doesn't talk about his feelings much.
1032
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:30,520
In our family, we didn't talk
about our feelings very much.
1033
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:35,160
We never learned to do that.
1034
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,160
Maybe that makes you want to seem strong
1035
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,040
and not show any weakness.
1036
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:46,400
It's only in the past few years
that I've started opening up
1037
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,800
and realized it's not weak
to show your weaknesses.
1038
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,640
I know that the world I live in
isn't normal.
1039
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,760
I was always aware
that I was doing pretty well.
1040
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:09,160
I've been lucky.
1041
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,320
Firstly, I've been able
to turn my hobby into my job.
1042
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,560
That's the first thing.
1043
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:17,680
I earn quite a lot of money.
1044
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:19,640
I'm healthy.
1045
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,600
My wife is healthy
and I have healthy kids.
1046
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,200
I don't think many people
1047
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,800
have all of those things.
1048
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,640
So I'm aware that I'm doing quite well.
1049
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,280
What happened to the airplane, Leon?
1050
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,920
Before Christmas, all of the Real players
1051
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:53,160
take presents to kids
that are in hospital.
1052
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:58,920
The first time Toni went,
he met a little boy,
1053
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,000
a boy who had cancer
and was in a wheelchair.
1054
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:03,800
He was the exact same age as Leon.
1055
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,680
I think that was the moment he thought,
1056
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:11,160
"Not everybody is lucky enough
to have healthy kids."
1057
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,000
He was very affected by that.
1058
01:24:16,480 --> 01:24:18,880
He told me about it when he came home.
1059
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,840
He had already decided
1060
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,480
that he wanted to set up a foundation
1061
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:27,360
for kids who are seriously ill.
1062
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,280
WE MISS YOU
1063
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:40,040
Before the first visit, you're scared.
1064
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:44,840
Everything is out of your control
and you don't know what to expect.
1065
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,720
You just expect negative things.
1066
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:53,160
You don't know how to behave
and you're really hesitant.
1067
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:57,000
But you go inside
and everybody is cheerful.
1068
01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:59,520
-Do you want a bottle?
-No.
1069
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:00,640
No.
1070
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,760
He laughs and says, "Nope."
1071
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:07,640
"Don't you have anything decent?".
1072
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,160
I'll find something that you'll want.
1073
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:20,400
There's a lovely,
positive atmosphere in the hospices.
1074
01:25:20,480 --> 01:25:22,320
They make it nice for the kids.
1075
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,800
There's a sad reason behind it all,
but you don't sense that.
1076
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,440
It's so inspiring.
1077
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:33,960
I have so much respect for how the kids
deal with the situation
1078
01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,360
and how positive they
and their parents are.
1079
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,840
It makes you think twice
about your day-to-day problems,
1080
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:46,120
because it makes everything else
seem so trivial.
1081
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,120
It's indescribable.
1082
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,520
They're real everyday heroes.
1083
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:55,600
The kids, the caregivers,
and also their families.
1084
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,200
The second time,
I actually looked forward to going.
1085
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,400
I could tell that they were pleased
that we were there
1086
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:07,520
and even small gestures
can mean so much to them.
1087
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,560
I would recommend everybody to try it out.
1088
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,760
For the kids, of course,
but also for yourself.
1089
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:21,240
You'll see so much strength there,
so much lust for life.
1090
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:25,240
They're in a better mood than some
of the healthy people I visit.
1091
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:26,760
Hold tight to it.
1092
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,360
Have fun. See? We managed it.
1093
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,120
-Can you say thank you?
-Thank you.
1094
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,240
You're welcome. Cute kid.
1095
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,320
In the evening, when I'm in bed,
1096
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:42,880
I'll often read new requests
the foundation has received.
1097
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:47,440
I'm one of the people who decides
who we help and how.
1098
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,600
When you read them
and learn about the family,
1099
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:54,920
that sort of pulls you back
into the real world.
1100
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,440
It's good for me as a person, I think,
1101
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,760
and it's so much fun to be able to help.
1102
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,480
It's not a huge deal for us:
1103
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:09,160
sorting out some kind of transportation
1104
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:13,880
so that a kid can move around,
go to the forest or to the sea,
1105
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:19,160
helping a family pay
for a new bathroom renovation,
1106
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,280
so that it's accessible for the kid.
1107
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,960
It's such a huge relief
for them in their everyday lives,
1108
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:26,480
and for us, it's just normal.
1109
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,720
Gala dinners aren't our style.
1110
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,760
But the foundation needs it.
1111
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,520
You need to get press coverage
and do public relations work.
1112
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:57,240
You need to have a gala
1113
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,480
to raise your profile.
1114
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:03,080
So that newspapers write about you.
1115
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,760
You notice the effect on the donations.
1116
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:10,600
Whenever there is an interview
or an article about the foundation,
1117
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,560
there are more donations, of course.
1118
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:16,120
But...
1119
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,840
For the good of the foundation,
we're happy to do a gala.
1120
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:22,280
Any other time, we're not.
1121
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,720
People often ask me,
1122
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,600
if I'm incredibly proud
of my sporting achievements
1123
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,480
and of what I do.
1124
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:43,560
Sure, I'm happy when my parents,
my wife and my brother are proud of me.
1125
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:48,400
But if there's one thing
I'm really proud of,
1126
01:28:48,480 --> 01:28:53,080
then it was being able to give that boy
this day in the stadium
1127
01:28:53,480 --> 01:28:57,800
and making his dad's life easier
for the past few months.
1128
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,080
That's what I'm proud of.
1129
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:11,160
Toni Kroos, with the white shoes,
kicks the ball into the box.
1130
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,080
Shot! Goal!
1131
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:14,240
Thomas Müller!
1132
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:20,520
In the 11th minute, the German team
leads from a set-piece by Toni Kroos.
1133
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,280
Brazil just can't get a hang of this game.
1134
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,120
The ball comes to Kroos.
1135
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,800
Kroos plays it to Müller
in the penalty area.
1136
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:32,320
Passes it to Klose. Klose!
1137
01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:35,880
This is insane!
1138
01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:39,640
That was set up beautifully
by Kroos' pass into the penalty area.
1139
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,080
Germany is leading 2-0.
1140
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,720
Yes, you heard that right.
1141
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,320
Here comes their next chance.
1142
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,200
And... 3-0!
1143
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:53,560
3-0, 3-0, 3-0!
1144
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,000
Toni Kroos, direct to the back of the net!
1145
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,680
Wham! Bam! Thank you, ma'am!
1146
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,480
The Brazilians are speechless
here in Belo Horizonte.
1147
01:30:03,480 --> 01:30:06,280
I can't believe what I'm seeing!
1148
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:09,440
And again! Kroos passes to Khedira.
1149
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,120
Back to Kroos. He scores. Goal! 4-0!
1150
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:16,320
4-0!
Germany is toying with the Brazilians!
1151
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,720
This is unbelievable!
1152
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:21,200
This isn't happening.
1153
01:30:22,480 --> 01:30:26,840
I can see that it's true,
but I feel like those images are wrong.
1154
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,160
It can't be real.
1155
01:30:29,480 --> 01:30:31,920
Watching it, we were just as overwhelmed
1156
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:35,080
as the Brazilians were,
out on the pitch.
1157
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:38,680
Left to Özil, to Khedira. He shoots. Goal!
1158
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:41,240
He shoots and scores!
1159
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:43,800
5-0!
1160
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:45,960
Goal!
1161
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,560
Schürrle has been brought on.
1162
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,560
They're standing around
not paying any attention,
1163
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,840
Passed to Schweinsteiger in the box...
goal!
1164
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:57,560
It was Schürrle!
1165
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:01,080
The other blond player,
he knocks it in under the crossbar.
1166
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:05,120
Júlio César is lying on the ground,
being helped up by his captain.
1167
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:07,840
7-0!
1168
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,600
7-0!
1169
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,760
What is going on here?
1170
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,360
What is this?
1171
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,680
I can't believe it.
1172
01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:31,080
The Germans kept their cool
and stayed focused,
1173
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:35,480
while the Brazilians had lost their heads.
1174
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:38,520
The Brazilian team
1175
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:42,240
wanted to win the game using its will.
1176
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:46,120
And ended up being "overwillful",
if that's even a word.
1177
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:47,920
They were completely frantic
1178
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:51,520
and were wearing themselves out
with their own ambition.
1179
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:53,960
And the German team was playing
1180
01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:58,080
a more Toni Kroos style game than ever:
1181
01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,800
cold and precise in the best sense
of the words.
1182
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,160
He's level-headed.
He's perfectly balanced.
1183
01:32:07,440 --> 01:32:10,320
I never see him nervous,
whatever game it is.
1184
01:32:10,440 --> 01:32:13,440
Even in the semi final
or final of the World Cup.
1185
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,960
When you talk to Toni
1186
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,680
you sense this incredible conviction
and confidence.
1187
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:22,720
Toni isn't scared.
1188
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,920
He doesn't get nervous,
whatever is at stake.
1189
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:36,560
Every kid who plays football
1190
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,520
wants to win the World Cup one day.
1191
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,480
That's pretty unrealistic
1192
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,080
because 99% of them never will.
1193
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:46,360
Ending up as one of those few people
1194
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:51,480
who can win, who is allowed to win,
1195
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,840
that's incredibly emotional.
1196
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:57,760
I cried, too.
1197
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:00,000
That's normal.
1198
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,200
And again when they lifted the cup.
1199
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:07,000
He doesn't normally show so much emotion.
1200
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,880
So that showed just how deep it went.
1201
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,680
That's normal, isn't it?
It's the World Cup.
1202
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:44,080
It's typical that Podolski
is right in the middle,
1203
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,720
even more central than the Chancellor.
1204
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,400
And where is Toni Kroos?
1205
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:59,400
A year later, when we were looking
for photos of him with the trophy.
1206
01:33:59,480 --> 01:34:01,240
It was really hard to find any.
1207
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:06,280
Because he didn't hold it
in the stadium or in the dressing room.
1208
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:10,240
We would have liked
to have photos of him
1209
01:34:10,320 --> 01:34:13,560
to use in calendars
or just as a souvenir.
1210
01:34:14,040 --> 01:34:16,200
It would have been nice to have that shot
1211
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,240
of him
with the Chancellor and the President.
1212
01:34:19,480 --> 01:34:23,320
The fact that he's off by himself
during moments like that,
1213
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:26,200
and not joining in with the rest,
1214
01:34:26,440 --> 01:34:29,360
that makes the whole situation
a very special one.
1215
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:31,960
What can I say?
1216
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:34,680
I think that deep down inside,
I'm just as happy
1217
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,360
as all of the others in that photo.
1218
01:34:37,440 --> 01:34:42,040
But maybe I'm not the kind of person
who displays that outwardly.
1219
01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:46,800
I don't feel like I'm missing something
in my collection without that photo.
1220
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:48,680
I was just fine.
1221
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:52,800
I don't feel the need to be
in the middle of the celebrations.
1222
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:57,920
It's important for me to play a role
in those successes,
1223
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:01,360
but after that,
I'll gladly get off the stage.
1224
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:08,480
The appreciation
1225
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:12,480
that Toni felt at Leverkusen
and with Jupp,
1226
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,360
he never received at Bayern.
1227
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:21,080
Not really from the fans
or from the people in charge,
1228
01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:25,200
and not in the offers
he received to extend his contract.
1229
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:29,680
I was aware of what
the wages were at that level.
1230
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:33,520
Toni wasn't ready
to become the top earner,
1231
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,000
but we wanted
to get him to a certain level
1232
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,040
and we were nowhere near getting that.
1233
01:35:38,440 --> 01:35:41,320
It was a nasty business.
1234
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:45,960
What I secretly thought...
1235
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,120
I spoke to him alone and said,
1236
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:52,000
"Look, Toni, that's our limit.
If you say no, then that's it."
1237
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,880
He thought for a second
and then said, "It's a no."
1238
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:58,440
I was impressed that he was so decisive.
1239
01:35:59,480 --> 01:36:02,320
If we'd given him a bit more
he would have stayed,
1240
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:06,080
but he said no and that's...
1241
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:09,080
I like people who have principles.
And he does.
1242
01:36:10,880 --> 01:36:14,240
Four months after
those failed negotiations with Bayern,
1243
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:16,880
Toni Kroos won the World Cup.
1244
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:20,760
So then of course we had...
1245
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:22,760
It was...
1246
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:26,040
the jackpot.
1247
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:28,320
You've got a player at Bayern Munich
1248
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,400
who just won the World Cup.
1249
01:36:30,480 --> 01:36:32,560
You can't get much better than that.
1250
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:35,200
That summer was fun, I have to admit.
1251
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,400
He's a World Champion
and goes to Real Madrid.
1252
01:36:44,480 --> 01:36:49,760
I can't think of a single other example
of a player and a club coming together
1253
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:54,080
where it looked so harmless,
but ended up being so explosive.
1254
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:06,480
He was already
one of the best players in the world.
1255
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:11,120
I thought he was really good
back when he was at Bayern.
1256
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:16,600
If I had been President,
I never would have let Toni go.
1257
01:37:16,680 --> 01:37:19,080
That's for sure. Absolutely not.
1258
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:23,160
I saw that as a huge loss.
1259
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:28,440
I think if you asked them today,
1260
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:32,240
they wouldn't be very happy about it.
1261
01:37:32,440 --> 01:37:35,680
Anyway, that's good news for Madrid,
1262
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,680
for football,
1263
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:43,000
and for me,
because I get the chance to train him.
1264
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,320
Toni is a great player,
1265
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:54,360
but no player in the world
can do everything on their own.
1266
01:37:55,120 --> 01:37:57,800
Clubs have to make tough decisions.
1267
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:01,840
That was a tough decision,
and sure, maybe it was wrong.
1268
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:14,240
Real Madrid was like a puzzle
1269
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,640
with a huge piece missing in the middle.
1270
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,680
In the back, everything was great.
1271
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:21,320
The goalkeeper and defense
were a good fit.
1272
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:23,960
Up front there was Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale.
1273
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:26,000
That section was complete.
1274
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:30,080
There was a hole here in the middle
and something had to go in there
1275
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:32,360
that would unite the other two pieces.
1276
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,960
We were missing the player
1277
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,320
that could be relied on
1278
01:38:38,480 --> 01:38:41,840
to keep the balance between
attack and defense for 90 minutes.
1279
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:47,240
For many people in Spain,
that was a revelation.
1280
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:55,680
When some players come off the pitch,
like Ronaldinho in his glory years,
1281
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:57,120
or someone like Pirlo,
1282
01:38:57,520 --> 01:38:59,160
then even the opponents applaud.
1283
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,760
The people would stand up
1284
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,280
and grudgingly applaud them.
1285
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:10,000
That's the greatness of Real Madrid.
1286
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:14,000
It contrasts with their own character,
but they love Kroos' logic.
1287
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:17,720
They love him like they loved Merkel
during the good times,
1288
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:21,040
and like German discipline
and the Prussian virtues,
1289
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,600
and because they realize
that they themselves are not logical,
1290
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:26,760
and not always sensible.
1291
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:28,400
They're hot-tempered.
1292
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:32,360
I remember how they went crazy
1293
01:39:32,440 --> 01:39:34,440
for the artistry of Özil.
1294
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,760
With Toni Kroos, it was different.
1295
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,640
The temperature crept up slowly
over several weeks,
1296
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:44,840
until suddenly they felt that with him,
nothing would ever go wrong.
1297
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:47,040
And that was great.
1298
01:39:47,400 --> 01:39:49,800
The feeling of being in safe hands.
1299
01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:54,280
The crowd he had was unpredictable,
1300
01:39:54,440 --> 01:39:57,080
but also knowledgeable.
1301
01:39:57,760 --> 01:39:59,400
And he gave them a lot.
1302
01:39:59,480 --> 01:40:03,280
He explained to them
how he plays football.
1303
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,800
And why they have to like it.
1304
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:20,360
Today I have to admit that in all my years
1305
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:22,840
I've been wrong about very few players.
1306
01:40:23,080 --> 01:40:25,320
I got him wrong back then.
1307
01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:27,360
He's not undergone a transformation.
1308
01:40:27,440 --> 01:40:29,360
His game hasn't changed much.
1309
01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:33,360
It's just taken me all these years
to understand it better.
1310
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:37,560
I would go as far as saying
that Toni Kroos is partly responsible
1311
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:41,400
for that huge run
of three Champions League wins,
1312
01:40:41,480 --> 01:40:44,720
because he established the "Kroos system".
1313
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,280
It's very unusual
and not visible at first glance.
1314
01:40:47,960 --> 01:40:51,280
He has a sense of humility
towards the game
1315
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,960
and is very conscious
about holding himself back.
1316
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:58,600
For me,
that makes him a world class player.
1317
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:01,480
And I don't use that term lightly.
1318
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:03,680
But that's world class.
1319
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:07,560
And it's terrible
that I realized that fact so late.
1320
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,520
I'm the trainer for Greifswald FC again.
1321
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:42,800
It feels great to come back
to where it all started.
1322
01:42:43,440 --> 01:42:46,760
Our family project meant a lot to me,
1323
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:50,560
because, in a way, we had a dream
1324
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:52,400
and we achieved it.
1325
01:42:52,560 --> 01:42:58,320
But I think, looking back, there are
things I would do differently now.
1326
01:42:58,480 --> 01:43:01,800
We talked about football
too much sometimes.
1327
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:07,080
I remember the kids would play a match
and then we'd analyze it afterwards.
1328
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,080
That's stupid. I wouldn't do that today.
1329
01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:12,600
I'd leave the kids in peace
after the game,
1330
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,800
no matter how they had played.
1331
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,240
He's done really well.
1332
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:14,800
Go in front of me.
1333
01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:17,640
Hold on.
1334
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:47,600
Very good?
1335
01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:48,960
Unbelievable!
1336
01:45:54,440 --> 01:45:59,520
Here come the winners
of the Champions League,
1337
01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,160
the team we've all been waiting for.
1338
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:05,640
Let's give a big hand to
1339
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,920
Real Madrid!
1340
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,400
A veritable powerhouse on the pitch,
1341
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:04,080
a third time winner of the
Champions League with Real Madrid...
1342
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,200
-Toni!
-Kroos!
1343
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:19,280
For me it's important that the trainers
at the youth clubs say,
1344
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:23,240
"I know you love Ronaldo,
but take a look at Toni Kroos.
1345
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:26,080
He'll show you
what really counts in this game."
1346
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:34,440
What will we say about Toni Kroos
in 20 years?
1347
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,000
That is a very good question.
1348
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,600
If I'm still alive and you ask me,
1349
01:47:39,680 --> 01:47:41,680
I'd say the same thing as today.
1350
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:44,600
He was one of the greatest conductors
1351
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,360
that German football ever saw.
1352
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,840
I don't know where Toni Kroos' journey
will go next.
1353
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:07,520
He has signed to Real Madrid
for a long time
1354
01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:09,640
and I don't know what will happen.
1355
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:13,160
He's already the most successful
German player of all time,
1356
01:48:13,240 --> 01:48:19,240
and I don't see anyone else out there
who will be able to catch up to him.
1357
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:23,320
I think he'll win another title or two.
I'm pretty sure of that.
1358
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:26,680
He's achieved everything
he can possibly achieve.
1359
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:31,720
Right now, he should just go and make sure
his future is completely and utterly safe.
1360
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,800
That being said,
come to Manchester United.
1361
01:48:41,040 --> 01:48:45,160
Toni Kroos truly is
the personification of the best
1362
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,520
of what other countries see in Germany.
1363
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,480
From Siemens and Germany unity,
1364
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:54,720
to German craftsmanship, German
seriousness and German awkwardness.
1365
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:57,440
German sunburn. That is Toni Kroos.
1366
01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:07,920
I can't see any big changes.
Besides in his facial hair.
1367
01:49:08,200 --> 01:49:12,560
He's welcome to talk about his feelings
and show vulnerabilities,
1368
01:49:12,640 --> 01:49:15,200
and I'm happy to support him.
1369
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,920
But for the rest,
he should just keep on going.
1370
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:32,880
Reply?
1371
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:37,600
Thanks, mate.
1372
01:50:56,840 --> 01:51:00,000
Leon, what do you like
doing most with Dad?
1373
01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:02,280
Play football.
1374
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:04,840
What else?
1375
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:08,760
We don't play football all day.
What else do you enjoy?
1376
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:10,680
PlayStation.
1377
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:31,080
Come, come.
1378
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:39,360
It's very easy to play with him.
1379
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:55,200
Normally, you are German
for good things and bad things.
1380
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,840
Bad thing are, you are...
1381
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:00,800
And I cannot be two minutes late.
1382
01:52:11,480 --> 01:52:14,080
We once made a bet
with goal wall shooting.
1383
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:15,960
You really messed that up.
1384
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,800
-You were really bad at that.
-I'm not talking about that anymore.
