FC Bayern Munich – Documentary director Verhoeven: Goretzka “a good hero for romantic comedies”

According to Simon Verhoeven, director of the Amazon documentary “FC Bayern – Behind the Legend”, which appeared in November, midfielder Leon Goretzka has the potential to act not only on the pitch but also in front of the camera.

“He’s a good-looking guy,” said Verhoeven in the new episodes of the FC Bayern podcast. Goretzka is therefore suitable as an actor for various genres, but would “certainly be a good hero in a romantic comedy”.

Goretzka, who, like Verhoeven, was a guest on the podcast, replied: “I’m glad he didn’t name just any horror film.” With the role assigned to him by Verhoeven, he could “live quite well”.

The 26-year-old is also of the opinion that the documentary series about the German record champions does what it should do. Namely, a glimpse for the fans “that has never been seen before,” explained Goretzka.

Director Verhoeven shared this view. “That is how a documentary stands or falls, whether you really manage to be close to it. There are many documentaries that pretend to be close by. But I think with our documentary you can honestly say that we really had it . “

Goretzka saw Bayern stars in the documentary duty

According to Goretzka, the fact that the six-part series, which has been showing on the Amazon Prime streaming platform since November, was also a success is due to the participation of the Bayern stars.

“If you agree to do such a documentary, everyone has to work on it so that it turns out well in the end. Otherwise we don’t have to put in the effort. As a player, I saw it as our duty to break down the barriers The end result is impressive, “said Goretzka.
