It was directed by Tomy Wigand [de], with Uwe Ochsenknecht and Ralf Richter in the main roles.
Together with his best friend Mike, he is member of the fanclub "Dios Knappen Gelsenkirchen", named after their idol, the (fictional) Schalke star player Pablo Di Ospeo.
Pollak is so single-minded that he neglects the birth of his second child to watch his favorite club, and takes his family and girlfriend for granted.
He is shocked to see that his idol is addicted to cocaine, abducts him and chains him into his room to make him quit cold turkey.
But his friends save him using a Schalke flag, and a rehabilitated Di Ospeo scores the winning goal in the next game.
