With the stories in this book, we get a little closer to the phenomenon that is Uli Hoeness. We begin to understand his potential for aggression, his unbridled ambition, and perhaps even his contradictions, first as an active football player and later as a manager and club president. He is a moralist who helps the weaker, yet at the same time, he is fiercely competitive and a tough businessman. The uninformed outsider might wonder: Is that even possible? - With Uli Hoeness, it is! Uli Hoeness: "I wanted to rise to the top, clearly. I always wanted to work, but not like my father, from three in the morning until late at night; I wanted to achieve more." "Everything I have, much of what I am, I owe to FC Bayern!" "Some players need to return to treating this profession like men. Some seem like remote-controlled wimps who can't get their act together at home.".
