concept

Wontorra - the football talk was a panel discussion applied, the guests sat there - similar to the one-two - in a semi-circle of rows of chairs created seat lap together. There were usually five people in the round, including the moderator Jörg Wontorra. Topics related to the current Bundesliga matchday were discussed, as well as current controversies and background topics such as the 50 + 1 rule or video evidence .

Relationship to the "double pass"

Moderator Jörg Wontorra sees the competition program Doppelpass , which he himself moderated for years, more of a regulars' table , while with Wontorra - the football talk he tries to "make a debate broadcast [...] with profound topics and a real culture of discussion". Wontorra commented on this in an interview : “The 'one-two' is rather moody and above all wants to entertain . We broadcast for people who are more thoughtful in sports . "

Wontorra - the football talk overlaps in time with the one-two , and thus is in a competitive situation to the Sport 1 telecast.

According to his own information, Wontorra stopped playing the one- two because he no longer wanted to be in front of the camera on 42 weekends a year. He therefore suggested that Sport1 share the program with someone. However, this was rejected by Sport 1 and Wontorra stopped at the one- two in 2015 . Thomas Helmer followed him. Nevertheless, he later accepted Sky's offer to host his own show. Wontorra gives the reasons for this that with 32 programs per year it is ten less than with the double pass , as well as the fact that the program is specially tailored to him. Wontorra stated that he noticed that he was still burning.
