Episode synopsis
Uli Hoeneß continues to shake up the original romantic idea of the eleven friends who stand up for each other and stick together through thick and thin. Hoeneß thinks big, even bigger than manager Schwan. The “fastest striker in Europe” senses that there is a business in football that is far from having exhausted its potential. As the son of a butcher, he learned early on what it means to generate an optimal profit margin. This know-how now benefits him as a professional footballer: he organizes autograph sessions, home stories and advertising contracts, not only for himself, but also for his teammates, especially Paul Breitner. This doesn't go down well with everyone, Franz Beckenbauer in particular is bothered by his teammate's entrepreneurial ambition.
