This documentary isn't a story about a national team winning a trophy. It's an excellent example of how an unbalanced team can regain balance by discipline and believing in themselves, controlling their feelings and achieving the unthinkable worldwide. This national team offered the world the sense that nothing is impossible to achieve. Most media press criticised their gameplay, even their great achievement, not because they were jealous but because they never thought that a national team so disoriented would become ready to fight by all means with every opponent. Don't get me wrong; it's not easy to achieve the same thing twice. You have only one change. And this national team nailed it.
Plot summary
In the summer of 2004, audiences looked on in disbelief as the Greek National Football Team, a country that had never previously won a single match or even scored a goal in a major tournament, took down the giants of world football to become the unlikeliest of European Champions. The architect behind this unprecedented triumph was legendary German football coach ‘King’ Otto Rehhagel. After accomplishing every major success in Germany, he made the bold decision to leave all he knew behind and work in a foreign country with the underachieving Greek National Team. This is the story of how these two contrasting cultures came together to speak the same language and write a new chapter of Greek mythology.
