Tim, the protagonist of the successful series ACE STRIKER (over 60,000 copies sold)
What happens in Volume 1: The game against Ludwigsbrück is coming up, the fearful opponent of Tim’s team. Moreover, they have a real secret weapon: the so-called Pudding Bomber, with the hardest shot in the league! As the coach, Tim really needs good tactics. Therefore, when he is in the bathroom in the morning, he already writes down his ideas for the next game in his diary. Here, even the toothbrushes in the cup inspire him to a certain lineup. Tim has an idea of what tactics he can use to stop him. But will it work in the big game? And of course, there's our Ace Striker, who is supposed to give tips for the big game. How can they stop this Pudding Bomber? Fortunately, the two have worked out a tactic, which Tim communicates to his team and is also adjusted again in the game. A coach must be flexible. In the end, of course, the decisive goal falls for Hegenwald, Tim's team. They have won the big game. Tim, obviously, recorded everything in his diary!

What happens in Volume 2: Again, Tim’s team has an important game coming up. This time it's against the Pipes from Pfeffersdorf, who have a dangerous player in midfield. Luis, the Left-Footer. Tim immediately writes down a new tactic in his coach's diary: "We play on the outside - high balls directly in front of the goal.” But when he and his eleven friends arrive for training, all the training balls have disappeared. How should they prepare for Saturday's game now?

What happens in Volume 3: Actually, Fortuna Ludwigsbrück is the fear opponent of Tim’s team from Hegenwald. But now the Ludwigsbrückers have already lost six games in a row. If this continues, it won't be any fun to play against the Ludwigsbrückers. That's why Tim is sending Sergio Mavalli to the neighboring village as coach. He's supposed to give the tired kickers a real run for their money.
