In his review in Die Zeit, Walter Jens described the film as a "fifty-five-minute report about a football player of a special kind, Rohrbach, who attracted attention at Frankfurt Eintracht with his vigor and eccentricity". About the work, which falls into the categories of player portraits, psychograms and documentation, Wolf himself said: “The central theme of the film is not the everyday life of a football player, but the socio-sociological situation of an outsider. The point is to analyze a person's relationship to a group on which he is dependent in every respect, but whose laws and rules he does not want to adapt. "
