I'm looking for another movie

The theme of the movie I'm looking for is similar to this one, but it expresses too many different things. It is a film from the former Soviet Union. It also tells the story of a football match in a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. In order to spiritually humiliate Soviet soldiers, the Germans decided to hold a football game in a prisoner-of-war camp. The name of the film seems to be "Overtime".
The German army recruited soldiers who could play football in the POW camp. They were a tall man and had good food. On the contrary, the Soviet soldiers were very thin and severely malnourished. In everyone's eyes, this is a game of disparity in strength.
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the score stayed in a tie. This result was beyond the surprise of the commanders of the prisoner-of-war camp. The result of the humiliation they wanted to prove that the Soviets were weaker than the Germans did not happen as expected.
So the Nazi officials demanded extra time and told the participating Soviet soldiers that if the German soldiers win the game, the Soviet soldiers will change their freedom; if the German army loses the game, then the poor Soviet soldiers will Was shot. And the audience is all the Soviet prisoners of war and the German officers and soldiers of the prisoner-of-war camp.
Obviously it is difficult to decide. They both have mothers and lovers. They long for the freedom to return to their hometown.
At the end of the extra time, everyone saw the result. The Soviets won the game, but they will also pay their lives.
The plot is probably like this, but I haven’t found this movie for a long time. It’s a movie about honor and dignity. The former Soviet Union is a teacher of our country’s propaganda department. Maybe they are good at creating heroes, but they are so insignificant. , What you see may only be a story about a group of ordinary soldiers, maybe there is not a hero like in the American blockbuster who saved the world and saved everyone with the blood, but I think what he wants to express is more profound.
Maybe I have a wrong memory of the plot of the movie, but what the theme expresses is unforgettable, to live in humiliation, or to die proudly? Sometimes it is not so difficult to choose. In this materialistic age, we really need some excellent movies to bring us moving and deep thoughts. Only when we face the choice of life or death, we can see our true self more clearly.
Hope to have the predecessors of this video share it, thank you!

    This football is better than the one shot in World War II~

    Although this film is a Hollywood-style commercial entertainment film, there is a real historical prototype behind it. The director adapts and beautifies the tragic events in the real world, integrates the superb skills of football players (most of the actors in the film are from real football players) into the compact plot, and uses this football game to reflect the shadow of World War II on the side, and The elements of prison escape and espionage have been added, which can be regarded as a certain entertainment. Although Michael Caine and Stallone have mediocre skills, they make up for the deficiencies with their tough guy charm. Similarly, real players such as Bailey are dazzled by them. The excellent ball skills make up for the rigidity of the characters and the weakness of the play.

Victory quotes

  • [Hatch has been told he has to return to the prison camp]

    Hatch: What am I supposed to do, break back into the camp?

    André - The French: No. You get captured.

    Hatch: Get captured. All right, suppose I get captured? And then they send me to the wrong prisoner camp. What about that?

    André - The French: No, no.

    Hatch: Now, what about that?

    André - The French: [tsks and shakes his head] The Germans will take you to the same place again to show the other prisoners you are not a success.

  • Renée - The French: [Hatch has asked how she feels about sheltering him] How do I feel? I feel responsible. Hopeful. When I get word that someone I sheltered is safe, then I'm happy. I can forget them. But when I hear that they've been caught or killed, then I remember everything. I remember their face, their voices, what they said about their parents, their child, their pets, and I mourn for them. I don't want to mourn for you.

    Hatch: Well, you're safe with me, Renée.

    Renée - The French: How?

    Hatch: Well, I'm, uh... an orphan, a bastard. I have no parents, no money, no wife, no children. I don't even have a pet. Anything I say in my sleep to the contrary can't be held against me.

    [Renée smiles]
