BriefExplanation
What would the life of Manuel Neuer – goalkeeper of Germany´s national football team and FC Bayern Munich– look like, if he hadn´t tried to become a professional football player? The film gives the answer.
It takes us through a day in the life of software tester Manuel Neuer, who explains in an interview style what he does in his job and life. No doubt, that he is happy with his job and with his life in general. But still, there are moments when he thinks back at his youth when he was goalkeeper in a local football team. Leading to a self-reflecting question at the end of the film: “What, if I had really tried to become a professional goalkeeper?!”. Well, you gotta try to experience what´s possible.
EntrySummary
Manuel Neuer is not only the goalkeeper of Germany’s national soccer team, he is also the goalkeeper of Germany’s most successful Bundesliga-Club „FC Bayern München“. This online film was used in a contxt of a promotion where every one of Germany’s 1st Bundesliga clubs got their own Coke zero can with their logo on it.
In his Voice Over Neuer says a lot of things that have a double meaning and use a certain wording used by soccer players, that might not come across as well in english, as they do in German. For example: „I really arrived in Munich“ what is often said after players transferred to other clubs. Or: „I can concentrate for 45 minutes, then I get tired“ which refers to halftime in soccer, but is used while we see him in a meeting at work.
