Goalkeepers
"The ball is goalkeeper-unfriendly. It is two pieces glued together. It moves a lot. It’s light, just like a volleyball, and when it gets wet, it is even worse." Paul Robinson (England)
"These balls are a catastrophe." Fabien Barthez (France)
Striker
"With long shots, it floats and moves a lot, which makes it difficult to read. It’s perfect for attackers." Ronaldinho (Brazil)
Scientiest
"With a very low spin rate, the panel pattern can have a big influence on the trajectory of the ball." Ken Bray, University of Bath, England
Inventor
"The misgivings about the ball are nothing more than a visual perception. In our high-tech football laboratory, Teamgeist proved three times better in trajectory and precision than other footballs used in top-level competition. It is designed to give players unrivalled accuracy." Hans-Peter Nürnberg
