We left the room and made sure that it was something that he did by himself. We had talked about it, 'was there anything you want to say to your family or to anyone in particular, that which you would like us to record in the most sensitive way possible?'.
"And Sven also really wanted to make sure that this wasn't only a sad story. And that was something that he was really keen on, is 'I don't want this to be a boo hoo. I'm dying' thing. He wanted people to also lean into the fun of his life." Claudia added: "He devoted a lot of his life to football, living and working in different countries. And his kids certainly respected that. But I think this has been a very special period of time for them to come together and also to, you know, just realise what they do have and that bond that they have between them."
