We Are the Champions

Former pro footballer Torben offers to coach his 13-year-old son's football team. David, his son, and the team seriously doubt his coaching abilities. Winning his son's confidence and the championship becomes Torben's great challenge. Divorced father without custody Torben, a former pro soccer player, concentrates on his talented son David's juniors poorly performing team. When the coach suddenly accepts another position, Torben gets his change 'for the time being'. He becomes a substitute father for several of the boys. He's opposed by many parents, but finds love again with one player's single mother. Yet the greatest reward comes from David, in a twisted way. —KGF Vissers The life-affirming, everyday story of Torben's growth from a divorced, unemployed couch potato who likes his beer into the successful coach of a boy's football team.
