They're not leaving.
Well go that way.

The latest statement--
We have no comments for now.
Please!
Well done!
You did great, man!
A statement for the radio?

Lets go, lets go.
- Want me to run you over?
- Calm down.
- Out of the way.
- Go now, now.
- How did they know wed arrive today?
- How should I know?
Mention the contract.
The contract.
Well...
For a start, they want a public apology
to the Colombian.
Fair enough.
And...
a psychological evaluation
before signing.
What?
Well...
They need to guarantee
it wont happen again.
- Sons of bitches!
- No theyre not. Theyre right, Oscar.
Its not just the board,
the sponsors are worried too.
When do we sign?
- First the evaluation--
- Dont you see?
- Those bastards.
- No, Oscar.
- Bastards!
- Put yourself in their shoes.
Hell be on the bench
for four months.
These guys bought a player,
and now he cant play.
We ruined their plans, Oscar.
They have to watch out
for the media,
the pressure of public opinion,
sponsors.
- Were not pressured?
- Yes.
But thats our problem.
- Tell them.
- Thats what Im doing.
Whats done is done.
We have to play it right.
If we do, itll be fine.
It got complicated now?
It did.
We have to play it right.
Come on!
God fucking damn it.
This was supposed to be ready.
Wasnt it?
Whats up, Big Guy?
Its empty.
What do you mean tomorrow?
I said we were arriving today.
Son of a bitch!
So what do we do?
Sleep on the floor?
What hotel?
Im not going to any hotel.
Figure it out,
you son of a bitch.
No, no.
Fuck you Big Guy!
Hey champ,

- Whats up Big Guy?
- How are you?
Nice to see you, champ.
You just show up, youre crazy.

- From the paper, you like it?
Its alright.
- How are you?
- Okay, carrying on.
Lets go guys, lets go.
Thats right.
Lets go!
- Oscar, buddy.
- Just arriving, Big Guy?
Ive been waiting.
Oh, c'mon,
Im here with your son.
Ive worked everything out
with these guys.
- Did you see the mask?
- You clown.
Dont leave everything
lying around.
- You get to work, Big Guy.
- Okay.
Okay guys!
Don't scratch anything.
Go to the kitchen,
breakfast is ready.
WE ARE ALL CHRISTIAN
Hey!
Go for a ride.
Where should I go?
Theres a pool and a barbecue.
Go take a look.
The idea is a cool, happening look,
with lots of warm colors,
plenty of grey,
and some mixed textiles.
- Or...
- Christian!
Come see this!
Hi, how are you?
I'm Agustina.
- Shes the...
- Decorator, yes.
I was telling your dad
about mixing warm colors.
We have this jacquard,
we could mix with chenille
in a tobacco shade to mix--
- Pardon me a second.
- Sure.
Whats up, Damian?
Did you meet?
No, no.
Not for less than that.
No, theyre playing with you.
Look,
youre not understanding me.
I'll make it clear.
We want 10, free and clean,
and 3 per year.
Forget the shrink.
Dont bust my balls.
Theyre fucking with you.
If they keep at it,
well take the other offer.
What do you want me to think?
I want to fix this, without selling
cheap to these sons of bitches.
Good Damian.
Get serious, okay?
Are you coming over?
Okay, well wait for you.
Hurry up.
- Sorry.
- Yes.
Where were we?
Telling you a bit
about warm colors, textiles--
- Listen, Daniela.
- Agustina.
Agustina, Ill make it easy.
Red is our lucky color.
Go with red, and well be set.
- Red?
- Red.
- Okay, Ill find a color reference.
- Youre not getting it.
We have to solve this now.
Get it? Quickly!
Perfect,
Ill have it tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes.
Good.
Listen, can you stay a bit longer now?
Yes, sure.
Lets use her,
make our apology look nice.
Good.
Okay. All set?
One more time.
Hello everyone.
I wanted to apologize here
for the situation
in the Colombia match,
apologize to Uruguays fans,
and the people in Colombia.
I know my attitude wasnt right.
I was wrong,
and it wont happen again.
Thanks to everyone.
- Perfect, that will do.
- Cut, cut.
This isn't good, things aren't good.
I don't know what you guys think.
We lost our top scorer.
It's worse than that, much worse.
Don't make me talk about it.
Say it Pablo.
I'm not going to say it, I'm pissed off.
Think about. If Argentina
ties with Bolivia--
No, no, don't talk about
Bolivia, I don't care about Bolivia.
This guy makes a fortune
and you know what?
This kid doesn't give a damn.
He's a bad teammate, he's irresponsible.
And you know what pisses me off?
We're here upset and
and this jackass is laughing at us.
You're wrong Pablo,
you're all worked up.
Let me say it clearly,
this kid screwed us.
Me, you, everyone, he screwed everyone.
He doesn't give a shit
about the National Team.
I saw kids crying, man--
I know my attitude wasnt right.
I was wrong,
and it wont happen again.
Thanks to everyone.

MOST RECENDEAD MAN!!!
CLOWN
KILLER
THIS WILL PASS!
CHEER UP!
NATIONAL DISAPPOINTMENT,
SHAME!
The game any good?
Terrible.
A bunch of dead men on the field.
I cant sleep.
You need to rest.
We start early tomorrow.
I know, but...
Im all over the media.
Everyone is talking,
talking shit.
Its a mess, Dad.
Dont read any of that.
Forget the world.
Forget it.
Nothing we can do.
Forget about it.
Everyone will forget
in 2, 3 months.
Sometimes I think fuck it all.
Yeah, right.
Look at that defender, what an angel.
Know what I was thinking?
We should do something
with the guys.
I dont know.
A game, a barbecue.
Since were here, right?
What do you think?
I'll tell the Big Guy
to call them tomorrow.
- All set, Gabriel?
- All set, Oscar.
Christian.
Christian!
Lets go train.
Go Christian.
Intensity.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Go... Go.
Thats it.
Air in below, out up high.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Goal.
Youll break the joystick.
Goal!
Remember our chat, Christian.
You must show remorse, okay?
You have to convince her
that you wont do it again.
They sent her to negotiate down.
Keep that in mind.
Hello.
A pleasure.
Dr. Guzman.
- Christian?
- Yes.
Great, we can start.
Sorry, you can wait outside.
- Ok.
- No way!
I cant stay with my son?
No.
The consultation is individual.
- Im at every meeting, Damian.
- Yes, but shes the professional.
Let's do as she says.
Okay.
- Thats your father?
- Yes.
- Your mother didnt come?
- No.
- Why?
- She died when I was little.
Oh, sorry.
I didnt know.
- Any brothers?
- No.
Cousins, uncles, any other relatives?
No.
I dont know.
We lost touch with the family.
I see your father is nervous.
Yeah, were about to close the trade...
He gets a bit crazy.
I can see that.
Are you happy
about playing in England?
Yes, that was the plan.
And that makes you nervous...
No... Why?
Well, so close to achieving a goal,
something might happen...
It would be logical to be a bit nervous,
stressed.
No, I focus on the game.
Nothing else.
It seems youre doing some karate
as well.
On the field I mean...
What happened there?
I dont know.
You know it's wrong?
Yes, I know.
Were you very angry?
I guess so.
It was all so fast.
I was agitated and messed up.
Thats it.
Players are always agitated,
but they dont all do that.
Did the other guy provoke you?
Say something?
No... nothing out of the ordinary.
Whats ordinary?
He said he'd hit me,
that I was scared,
called me a pussy.
- That made you angry.
- Looks like it.
First time you heard it?
No, plenty of times.
You never reacted like this.
Never.
What makes you mad?
People provoking you, kicking you...
No.
Off the field.
Some people.
What people?
The people that think
they know what I think, feel...
...they have no clue.
And what do you feel?
I dont know.
This parrot is the sponsors mascot.
Well edit it in on the computer.
Your part is simple.
Youll head the ball
with an actor,
that guy in green there.
When he passes it,
you hold the ball under your arm,
look to camera,
smile, and say:
Now I play for Sky Blue Credit",
with this gesture.
- Thats it. Simple.
- Okay.
Heres the parrot now.
- Im the parrot.
- Hi.
- Shall we?
- Okay.
Lets go.
Were filming!
Ready.
Roll sound, roll camera.
Sky Blue Credit,
shot 1, take 3.
Action.
Now I play for Sky Blue Credit.
Cut.
Very good, that was perfect.
Lets check one last thing.
Good Christian.
Almost there.
Go, go, go!
Lets go!
No, no.

My mother could cover him better.

- Shall we play?
Okay, lets go.
Shoot!
Goal!
Good man.
Goal, you moustached.
You're the guy!
- What are you doing?

Youre crossing a line.

- What was that, you wanker?
- Just play, faggot.
- What did you say?
- Coward, faggot!
- What?
- Dont touch him!
Walrus, what the fuck
is wrong with you?
Mean son of a bitch.
Come here, come here.
- Get him out of here.
- Wait, Oscar.
- Go tackle your mother.
- Don't kick me out!
I went for the ball.
- Take him away.
- Dont do this.
- Come, easy.
- You cant send me off.
Dont be like that.
- Calm down.
- Dont you see?
I understand.
- Wilmer!
- Ive got him.
Go tackle your mother.

Theyll be right down.
Thats it. Very well.
Very nice.
Come on in.
- Thank you.
- Make yourselves at home.
No, the modeling agency invited me,

Oscar, hows it going man?
- I wouldn't let you miss this.
- Thank you.
I went for the ball.
Ill forget it.

- Yes.
Why dont you go get a beer?
- Yes.
- Could you get me one?
Yes, yes.
Bring one for...
Your name?
- Luli.
- One for Luli.
Okay.
- This is the bathroom.
- Yes.
- Where would it be?
- I don't know.
No, hes not here.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Look at this room, girl.
Its incredible.
Did you see this?
- A pool.
- Thats the lake.
- Oh, the closet.
- Any clothes inside?
Surely.
Awesome.
Look at this.
Here are the jerseys, everything.
- Dont touch that, its too much.
- Calm down.
Any Uruguay jerseys?
Well, Im taking something.
Not a shirt,
thatd be too much.
You calm down.
- We need one like this.
- Any day now.
You watch out.
Ill take underwear.
- No.
- Yes.
Itll be fine.
Hide it.
Lets close up.
Easy now.
Hey, you, get up.
Come on, time to go.
Lets go.
Come on, time to leave.
Come on.
Lets go.
Lets go.
Hey, lets go.
Come on, time to leave.
Hey.
Time to go. Get up.
So, Christian.
Youre fine, better than ever,
motivated, ready to come back.
You made a mistake.
But who hasnt?
That helps us learn, improve,
carry on, be better,
and not make the same mistake.
The interview isnt about Colombia.
Its about England.
We agreed to one question
about the incident
and then the future, England.
- One question.
- Okay.
So Christian, you have to say
the Premier League is your dream.
That you feel youre ready for it.
Although Portugal was fantastic,
youre very grateful.
The club was very kind to you.
You love Lisbon,
the people, everything,
but now its time for England.
Lets go.
Guys.
How are you buddy?
Very well. Are you all there?
Christian?
Here we are.
How are you, Jorge?
- Hello.
- Great to chat, Christian.
Youre a legend, and thanks
Oscar for this interview.
It's a rough time,
so thanks for choosing us.
From me, the program,
and the whole team, thank you.
Okay.
Hope youll be easy on us.
Dont worry.
You dont need to worry.
- Ready to start.
- Thanks, Claudia.
- Ok. Shall we?
- Whenever you say.
All set, Jorge.
We have the pleasure
of chatting with Christian Arias,
Uruguays rising star,
making the news,
I dare say, globally.
Hello Christian, welcome.
Were live. How are you?
Stop, Jorge, can we cut?
Theres been a mistake.
- What is it?
- Are we live?
- Calm down.
- We said not live.
Wait, we had agreed
with the producers
to pretend it was recorded live.
Theyll play it later.
Its recorded,
but we pretend its live.
Nice to know, idiot.
- I told you.
- No.
- Didnt I?
- No.
Calm down, Oscar.
Its like Damian says.
Shall we start over?
Lets go.
- Claudia?
- Whenever youd like.
We have the pleasure
of chatting with Christian Arias,
Uruguays rising star,
making the news,
I dare say, globally.
Hello Christian, welcome.
Were live. How are you?
Hello Jorge.
Hows it going?
Quickly,
I have to ask about Colombia.
How are you taking
the sanctions and repercussions?
Were doing well,
were very motivated,
anxious to get back
to playing.
But let me first apologize
to my teammates,
to everyone for the mistake.
We learn from our mistakes.
When youre young...
Well, I have to move forward,
work so this
doesnt happen again.
Your plans after the suspension?
Staying in Portugal
after an incredible season,
or jumping to a first-rate global league
in England?
Well, were very excited
about playing in the Premier League.
I feel its time.
Although were so happy
and grateful
for the Portuguese experience.
We love the city
and the club
has always been good to us, but...
I feel we have enough experience
to move on
to a league like Englands.
Do you think the incident
might affect the trade?
Did you speak to the English?
Stop, stop.
Can we cut?
Whats wrong, Oscar?
We said one question
about that mess
and then on to the English trade.
Whats this?
I have to ask Christian
what the people want to know.
Journalistic Integrity.
Journalistic Integrity?
What are you doing?
Shove it, you son of a bitch.
Cocksucker.
What? You freak.
Journalistic Integrity he says.
That shameless son of a bitch.
It was a short question,
it was fine.
It was crap, Damian.
The Colombian mess is old news.
Im getting very sick
of talking about it.
Dont you realize
this is a mistake?
This idiot you found
is the mistake.
Ass-kisser.
Boot-licker, cock-sucker.
Thinks hes a journalist.
Son of a bitch.
A son of a bitch
with a wide following,
who can say whatever,
whenever.
This can end poorly.
Whatever he wants?
Tell him:
if he talks about us,
Ill kick his ass myself.
Go ahead, tell him.
Go ahead.
Sort it out. Call him.
No, no, no, Mom.
Im not going
to that crap birthday,
full of old people.
I dont want to.
You always do that.
How is that possible?
No, no.
The doctors report arrived.
Go ahead, read it.
Recommends starting
treatment as soon as possible,
as he faces a moment
of great pressure.
Cannot dismiss
signs of anxiety and depression
without proper follow-up.
Thats 3 millions off.
What did you say to the psychologist?
It doesnt even matter.
This is to bring down the price.
Those sons of bitches!
Let's see
how this affects the contract.
- Ill send them an email.
- No, Damian.
We cant fix this with email.
Well meet them face-to-face.
- Over there?
- We have to go to England.
God fucking damn it!
We going, Damian, or what?
Hey, go get them.
- Be good, keep at it.
- Have a nice trip.
Starting position, remember.
Always moving.
Go.
Thats it.
There it is.
That's good.
There it is.
I nearly played the Davis Cup,
for Uruguay.
A while back.
Against Ecuador, in Ecuador,
but I didnt make it.
They say its nice.
Have you been?
Yes.
Lots of history.
Altitude too.
I nearly went to Argentina to train,
but then got married...
- Hello Belen.
- Hello.
Hi.
I have to keep working.
Sure.
- Do you mind if...?
- No, go ahead.
Youre a legend.
Practice your drive.

Lets go!
You look tired.
How are you?

Shall we warm up?
Okay.

A bit boring, isnt it?
Yeah.
All the same...
At least you play tennis.

Dont you like it?
Yeah, its good to keep busy.
Dont you do anything else?
- Like?
- I dont know.

- No.
Okay.
Neither am I.
Well, this is my stop.
- You live here?
- Yeah.
- I live around the corner.
- Oh, you missed your stop.
Yeah, well,
I dont have much else to do.
Okay.

Lazy day.
Hi.
Hi.
- Everything alright?
- Fine.
Any more settled?
Yes.
Honestly, its very peaceful.
Too peaceful.
Yeah.
Told you so.
True.
But not everything is so boring.
- What are you doing?
- Listening to music.
Cool.
Want to listen?
Yeah.
Weird stuff.
Dont like it?
I do.
Youre overweight, Christian.
Well have to monitor that.
But I cant borrow the car
unless I go back to university.
- So go back and sort it out.
- No.
- So you dont like it?
- Its not that.
I want to do other stuff.
But you cant always do
whatever you want.
Whys that?
If you dont do what you want now,
then when?
How should I know?
Come here.
- What?
- Come here.
- Where are you going?
- Wait.
- Wow, a pool.
- Not that.

What?
They always leave something.
-Shall we finish it?
No, not me.
- Come on.
- I dont drink.

- No.
Isnt it boring?
- The water is incredible.
- Is it?
Shall we jump in?
I dont have a swimsuit.

You leaving?
Im going for beer.
- No, come back in.

Come on.
No, another drink.
I could go for another.
- Come on.
- Get out. You have to drive me.
- No, I cant.
- Why?
- Seriously, I cant leave.
- Why is that?
Itll turn into a mess.
I cant.
- A mess? Come on.
- Seriously.
If I could borrow the car,
Id go.
Im asking for a favor.
- Hurry back, okay?
- Yes.
- I mean it.
- Calm down.
Grandmother, its Christian Arias.
Come on, Belen.
- Footballer?
- Yes.
Thats nice.
Hello.

I told you it would be a mess.
Thats true.
But it was fun.
Yeah, for you.
You dont get it.
- Get what?
- Nothing.
No, I get it.
I understand everything.
Youre not some guiding light.
You just kick a little ball around.
- What?
- How dare you...
Its true.
Some little ball...
What?
Put your seatbelt on.
You keep gaining weight.
None of this, guys.
Big Guy, let me explain,
youll be responsible.
Physical training is important,
but nutrition and rest
are equally important.
From now on, youll tell me
when, what, and how much he eats
and rests.
Perfect.
Each of these columns
is a day of the week.
Yes.
The codes for the right foods
are in the rows,
along with the measures of supplements.
Here are the references.
My number is here
if you have any doubts.
- Call me at once.
- Ill call, for sure.
Christian, please,
dont eat or drink
anything not on the list.
After all this, you have to be fit
when you get back.
All eyes are on you.
Dont be stupid.
- Im here to help, okay?
- Sure.
- Want some?
- No, no.
- How come?
- I dont smoke.
- You never tried it?
- No.
Want to try?
Are you okay?
Disgusting.
- You dont know how to smoke.
- It burns my throat.
Thats fine.
We dont have to like the same things.
I like weed,
you like football.
Who said I like football?
You dont?
I don't know.
Its what I have to do.
Thats all.
Not if you dont want to.
Its not that easy.
Why?
Oh, look here!
Here.
This is me.
- Looks just like you.
- No, not that.
Lets play.
Heres a ball.
Can we play ping-pong?
Lets play with tricks.
No, stop it.
Look, those are like...
Theyre like animals
now that I think of it.
- And that one?
- Which?
Hes cross-eyed.
Oh, Im crying.
See those next
to the cross-eyed one?
They look like...
So?
Couldnt fix it.
How come?
The athletic director
is not sure about you.
Neither is the coach.
I dont know.
They say its an investment.
There are other candidates.
Besides...
...the club owner
didnt like what you did.
He doesnt understand the sport.
So...
Nobody wants to take a risk.
Those English cowards.
Their loss.
We have more offers.
What do you mean?
What offers?
We have offers.
Well have to consider them.
Listen to me.
This is a mess.
Hes as fat as a pig.
Whats up?
- What is he eating?
- Listen, Oscar.
The kid is down.
I tried to do something nice for him.
Nice? This is about money.
Youre with me or against me.
Ive always been with you.
I hear hes playing tennis.
Did you know that,
son of a bitch?
What if he gets hurt?
Wholl pay for that?
- Let him clear his head.
- You screwed me.
What, why would I do that?
You fucked me over,
son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch,
you fucking son of a bitch.
Son of a...
- Son of a bitch.
- Wait, Oscar.
No, fuck you.
- Can you zip me up?
- Going.
- Need help?
- Yeah.
Ive got it.
Raise your head.
Look at this...
Its great!
- Not those shades.
- Why?
So they wont recognize you.
Can I tell you something?
Dont laugh, but...

This was the first time I ever danced.
In my life.

- Yes, today.
Really.
And I think
I was pretty good at it too.
What?
Why are you laughing?
I was...
You moved your hands like this...
- It was great.

No... your friends saw me.
You cant tell anyone.
- About your dance moves?
- Seriously. Dont tell a soul.
Dont worry.
This is nice.
Where the hell were you?
Ill be down in 5.

My grandmother is sick.
I have to go visit.

- What?
Id fire him.
Really. Did he?
Im being serious.
Dont get worked up,
I have a life too.
When are you going?
Early tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah, if my gran can wait.
You focus on what you have to do,
important stuff.
Listen to your father.
He knows best.
Okay?
- Ill miss you, Big Guy.

Everything will be fine.
Remember what I said.
- Hope everything works out.

He never scores.
Hey, Chris, I have good news.

Its not a bad plan.
For fucks sake.
Dont be a child now.

with a brick wall for a chest.
Easy to say from the sidelines.
Hes horrible, look at that!
Shut up, you cant even play!

Third division would have done you good.

Lets go, a big family portrait.
Everyone happy.
Smile.
- Its me.

- Waiting for the teacher.
- I sent you a message.
- Did you?
I didnt see it.
- All good?
- Yes.
Want to play a game?
Is your dad coming too?
Im afraid hell turn up.
Youre a little kid.
Why is that?
You do as your father says.
Well, thats my problem.
Thats true.
Its your problem.
Good luck.
Belen.
Belen.
Gentlemen, here is Christian.
A pleasure, Mr. Arias.
Im the interpreter.
This is Mr. Chen,
the Chairman.
And Mr. Yu,
the Athletic Director.
The Chairman would like to convey
his sincerest admiration
and his deep joy
for having you on our team
next season.
Our followers offer all their help
and support.
Hes glad youve
turned down other offers
and hope you can display
all of your talent in China.
- Okay.
- Yes, yes.
Shall we sit?
Okay.
The parties have read the contract
and agreed.
We just need to sign it, right?
- May we sign?
- Yes.
There it is.
I wont sign.
- Come on.
- Lets go, Christian.
I mean it, I wont sign.
Are you joking?
No.
I wont sign, Dad.
- Pardon us a second.
- Of course.
Lets chat outside, this way.
They came all the way
from China.
Why do this now?
We had time to talk.
Stop.
Lets let him speak.
Whats up, buddy?
Its just a year
and a lot of money.
- But I dont want to.
- We can look for other offers.
First a fight,
and now he wont play.
Do you want to go back to Portugal?
We'll lose a lot of money,
but we can go back.
Is that it?
Ill call them now.
Do it.
I just dont want to play.
What?
Where do you want to play?
I dont want to play football anymore.
What are you saying?
- Have you gone mad?
- No.
You cant do this to us.
I busted my ass
to get you here.
Think about it.
I did,
and I dont want to play anymore.
Have you gone mad?
Fucking kid!
Dont touch me.
- Ill kill you!
- Stop, man.
They're not leaving.
Well go that way.
Christian, please.
No comments for now.
- How is he doing?
- No comments for now.
The latest statement--
We have no comments for now.
Please!
Well done!
You did great, man!
A statement for the radio?
Please!
Dont bust my balls!
Hell talk later.
Lets go, lets go.
- Want me to run you over?
- Calm down.
- Out of the way.
- Go now, now.
- How did they know wed arrive today?
- How should I know?
Mention the contract.
The contract.
Well...
For a start, they want a public apology
to the Colombian.
Fair enough.
And...
a psychological evaluation
before signing.
What?
Well...
They need to guarantee
it wont happen again.
- Sons of bitches!
- No theyre not. Theyre right, Oscar.
Its not just the board,
the sponsors are worried too.
When do we sign?
- First the evaluation--
- Dont you see?
- Those bastards.
- No, Oscar.
- Bastards!
- Put yourself in their shoes.
Hell be on the bench
for four months.
These guys bought a player,
and now he cant play.
We ruined their plans, Oscar.
They have to watch out
for the media,
the pressure of public opinion,
sponsors.
- Were not pressured?
- Yes.
But thats our problem.
- Tell them.
- Thats what Im doing.
Whats done is done.
We have to play it right.
If we do, itll be fine.
It got complicated now?
It did.
We have to play it right.
Come on!
God fucking damn it.
This was supposed to be ready.
Wasnt it?
Whats up, Big Guy?
Its empty.
What do you mean tomorrow?
I said we were arriving today.
Son of a bitch!
So what do we do?
Sleep on the floor?
What hotel?
Im not going to any hotel.
Figure it out,
you son of a bitch.
No, no.
Fuck you Big Guy!
Hey champ,
whats up Christian!
- Whats up Big Guy?
- How are you?
Nice to see you, champ.
You just show up, youre crazy.
- That mask.
- From the paper, you like it?
Its alright.
- How are you?
- Okay, carrying on.
Lets go guys, lets go.
Thats right.
Lets go!
- Oscar, buddy.
- Just arriving, Big Guy?
Ive been waiting.
Oh, c'mon,
Im here with your son.
Ive worked everything out
with these guys.
- Did you see the mask?
- You clown.
Dont leave everything
lying around.
- You get to work, Big Guy.
- Okay.
Okay guys!
Don't scratch anything.
Go to the kitchen,
breakfast is ready.
WE ARE ALL CHRISTIAN
Hey!
Go for a ride.
Where should I go?
Theres a pool and a barbecue.
Go take a look.
The idea is a cool, happening look,
with lots of warm colors,
plenty of grey,
and some mixed textiles.
- Or...
- Christian!
Come see this!
Hi, how are you?
I'm Agustina.
- Shes the...
- Decorator, yes.
I was telling your dad
about mixing warm colors.
We have this jacquard,
we could mix with chenille
in a tobacco shade to mix--
- Pardon me a second.
- Sure.
Whats up, Damian?
Did you meet?
No, no.
Not for less than that.
No, theyre playing with you.
Look,
youre not understanding me.
I'll make it clear.
We want 10, free and clean,
and 3 per year.
Forget the shrink.
Dont bust my balls.
Theyre fucking with you.
If they keep at it,
well take the other offer.
What do you want me to think?
I want to fix this, without selling
cheap to these sons of bitches.
Good Damian.
Get serious, okay?
Are you coming over?
Okay, well wait for you.
Hurry up.
- Sorry.
- Yes.
Where were we?
Telling you a bit
about warm colors, textiles--
- Listen, Daniela.
- Agustina.
Agustina, Ill make it easy.
Red is our lucky color.
Go with red, and well be set.
- Red?
- Red.
- Okay, Ill find a color reference.
- Youre not getting it.
We have to solve this now.
Get it? Quickly!
Perfect,
Ill have it tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes.
Good.
Listen, can you stay a bit longer now?
Yes, sure.
Lets use her,
make our apology look nice.
Good.
Okay. All set?
One more time.
Hello everyone.
I wanted to apologize here
for the situation
in the Colombia match,
apologize to Uruguays fans,
and the people in Colombia.
I know my attitude wasnt right.
I was wrong,
and it wont happen again.
Thanks to everyone.
- Perfect, that will do.
- Cut, cut.
This isn't good, things aren't good.
I don't know what you guys think.
We lost our top scorer.
It's worse than that, much worse.
Don't make me talk about it.
Say it Pablo.
I'm not going to say it, I'm pissed off.
Think about. If Argentina
ties with Bolivia--
No, no, don't talk about
Bolivia, I don't care about Bolivia.
This guy makes a fortune
and you know what?
This kid doesn't give a damn.
He's a bad teammate, he's irresponsible.
And you know what pisses me off?
We're here upset and
and this jackass is laughing at us.
You're wrong Pablo,
you're all worked up.
Let me say it clearly,
this kid screwed us.
Me, you, everyone, he screwed everyone.
He doesn't give a shit
about the National Team.
I saw kids crying, man--
I know my attitude wasnt right.
I was wrong,
and it wont happen again.
Thanks to everyone.

MOST RECENDEAD MAN!!!
CLOWN

THIS WILL PASS!
CHEER UP!
NATIONAL DISAPPOINTMENT,
SHAME!
The game any good?
Terrible.
A bunch of dead men on the field.
I cant sleep.
You need to rest.
We start early tomorrow.
I know, but...
Im all over the media.
Everyone is talking,
talking shit.
Its a mess, Dad.
Dont read any of that.
Forget the world.
Forget it.
Nothing we can do.
Forget about it.
Everyone will forget
in 2, 3 months.
Sometimes I think fuck it all.
Yeah, right.
Look at that defender, what an angel.
Know what I was thinking?
We should do something
with the guys.
I dont know.
A game, a barbecue.
Since were here, right?
What do you think?
I'll tell the Big Guy
to call them tomorrow.
- All set, Gabriel?
- All set, Oscar.
Christian.
Christian!
Lets go train.
Go Christian.
Intensity.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Go... Go.
Thats it.
Air in below, out up high.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Goal.
Youll break the joystick.
Goal!
Remember our chat, Christian.
You must show remorse, okay?
You have to convince her
that you wont do it again.
They sent her to negotiate down.
Keep that in mind.
Hello.
A pleasure.
Dr. Guzman.
- Christian?
- Yes.
Great, we can start.
Sorry, you can wait outside.
- Ok.
- No way!
I cant stay with my son?
No.
The consultation is individual.
- Im at every meeting, Damian.
- Yes, but shes the professional.
Let's do as she says.
Okay.
- Thats your father?
- Yes.
- Your mother didnt come?
- No.
- Why?
- She died when I was little.
Oh, sorry.
I didnt know.
- Any brothers?
- No.
Cousins, uncles, any other relatives?
No.
I dont know.
We lost touch with the family.
I see your father is nervous.
Yeah, were about to close the trade...
He gets a bit crazy.
I can see that.
Are you happy
about playing in England?
Yes, that was the plan.
And that makes you nervous...
No... Why?
Well, so close to achieving a goal,
something might happen...
It would be logical to be a bit nervous,
stressed.
No, I focus on the game.
Nothing else.
It seems youre doing some karate
as well.
On the field I mean...
What happened there?
I dont know.
You know it's wrong?
Yes, I know.
Were you very angry?
I guess so.
It was all so fast.
I was agitated and messed up.
Thats it.
Players are always agitated,
but they dont all do that.
Did the other guy provoke you?
Say something?
No... nothing out of the ordinary.
Whats ordinary?
He said he'd hit me,
that I was scared,
called me a pussy.
- That made you angry.
- Looks like it.
First time you heard it?
No, plenty of times.
You never reacted like this.
Never.
What makes you mad?
People provoking you, kicking you...
No.
Off the field.
Some people.
What people?
The people that think
they know what I think, feel...
...they have no clue.
And what do you feel?
I dont know.
This parrot is the sponsors mascot.
Well edit it in on the computer.
Your part is simple.
Youll head the ball
with an actor,
that guy in green there.
When he passes it,
you hold the ball under your arm,
look to camera,
smile, and say:
Now I play for Sky Blue Credit",
with this gesture.
- Thats it. Simple.
- Okay.
Heres the parrot now.
- Im the parrot.
- Hi.
- Shall we?
- Okay.
Lets go.
Were filming!
Ready.
Roll sound, roll camera.
Sky Blue Credit,
shot 1, take 3.
Action.
Now I play for Sky Blue Credit.
Cut.
Very good, that was perfect.
Lets check one last thing.
Good Christian.
Almost there.
Go, go, go!

Okay, lets go.
Shoot!
Goal!
Good man.
Goal, you moustached.
You're the guy!
- What are you doing?

Youre crossing a line.

- What was that, you wanker?
- Just play, faggot.
- What did you say?
- Coward, faggot!
- What?
- Dont touch him!
Walrus, what the fuck
is wrong with you?
Mean son of a bitch.
Come here, come here.
- Get him out of here.
- Wait, Oscar.
- Go tackle your mother.
- Don't kick me out!
I went for the ball.
- Take him away.
- Dont do this.
- Come, easy.
- You cant send me off.
Dont be like that.
- Calm down.
- Dont you see?
I understand.
- Wilmer!
- Ive got him.
Go tackle your mother.

Come on, let's play!

Thats it. Very well.
Very nice.
Come on in.
- Thank you.
- Make yourselves at home.
No, the modeling agency invited me,

Oscar, hows it going man?
- I wouldn't let you miss this.
- Thank you.
I went for the ball.
Ill forget it.
- Having fun?
- Yes.
Why dont you go get a beer?
- Yes.
- Could you get me one?
Yes, yes.
Bring one for...
Your name?
- Luli.
- One for Luli.
Okay.
- This is the bathroom.
- Yes.
- Where would it be?
- I don't know.
No, hes not here.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Look at this room, girl.
Its incredible.
Did you see this?
- A pool.
- Thats the lake.
- Oh, the closet.
- Any clothes inside?
Surely.
Awesome.
Look at this.
Here are the jerseys, everything.
- Dont touch that, its too much.
- Calm down.
Any Uruguay jerseys?
Well, Im taking something.
Not a shirt,
thatd be too much.
You calm down.
- We need one like this.
- Any day now.
You watch out.
Ill take underwear.
- No.
- Yes.
Itll be fine.
Hide it.
Lets close up.
Easy now.
Hey, you, get up.
Come on, time to go.
Lets go.
Come on, time to leave.
Come on.
Lets go.
Lets go.
Hey, lets go.
Come on, time to leave.
Hey.
Time to go. Get up.
So, Christian.
Youre fine, better than ever,
motivated, ready to come back.
You made a mistake.
But who hasnt?
That helps us learn, improve,
carry on, be better,
and not make the same mistake.
The interview isnt about Colombia.
Its about England.
We agreed to one question
about the incident
and then the future, England.
- One question.
- Okay.
So Christian, you have to say
the Premier League is your dream.
That you feel youre ready for it.
Although Portugal was fantastic,
youre very grateful.
The club was very kind to you.
You love Lisbon,
the people, everything,
but now its time for England.
Lets go.
Guys.
How are you buddy?
Very well. Are you all there?
Christian?
Here we are.
How are you, Jorge?
- Hello.
- Great to chat, Christian.
Youre a legend, and thanks
Oscar for this interview.
It's a rough time,
so thanks for choosing us.
From me, the program,
and the whole team, thank you.
Okay.
Hope youll be easy on us.
Dont worry.
You dont need to worry.
- Ready to start.
- Thanks, Claudia.
- Ok. Shall we?
- Whenever you say.
All set, Jorge.
We have the pleasure
of chatting with Christian Arias,
Uruguays rising star,
making the news,
I dare say, globally.
Hello Christian, welcome.
Were live. How are you?
Stop, Jorge, can we cut?
Theres been a mistake.
- What is it?
- Are we live?
- Calm down.
- We said not live.
Wait, we had agreed
with the producers
to pretend it was recorded live.
Theyll play it later.
Its recorded,
but we pretend its live.
Nice to know, idiot.
- I told you.
- No.
- Didnt I?
- No.
Calm down, Oscar.
Its like Damian says.
Shall we start over?
Lets go.
- Claudia?
- Whenever youd like.
We have the pleasure
of chatting with Christian Arias,
Uruguays rising star,
making the news,
I dare say, globally.
Hello Christian, welcome.
Were live. How are you?
Hello Jorge.
Hows it going?
Quickly,
I have to ask about Colombia.
How are you taking
the sanctions and repercussions?
Were doing well,
were very motivated,
anxious to get back
to playing.
But let me first apologize
to my teammates,
to everyone for the mistake.
We learn from our mistakes.
When youre young...
Well, I have to move forward,
work so this
doesnt happen again.
Your plans after the suspension?
Staying in Portugal
after an incredible season,
or jumping to a first-rate global league
in England?
Well, were very excited
about playing in the Premier League.
I feel its time.
Although were so happy
and grateful
for the Portuguese experience.
We love the city
and the club
has always been good to us, but...
I feel we have enough experience
to move on
to a league like Englands.
Do you think the incident
might affect the trade?
Did you speak to the English?
Stop, stop.
Can we cut?
Whats wrong, Oscar?
We said one question
about that mess
and then on to the English trade.
Whats this?
I have to ask Christian
what the people want to know.
Journalistic Integrity.
Journalistic Integrity?
What are you doing?
Shove it, you son of a bitch.
Cocksucker.
What? You freak.
Journalistic Integrity he says.
That shameless son of a bitch.
It was a short question,
it was fine.
It was crap, Damian.
The Colombian mess is old news.
Im getting very sick
of talking about it.
Dont you realize
this is a mistake?
This idiot you found
is the mistake.
Ass-kisser.
Boot-licker, cock-sucker.
Thinks hes a journalist.
Son of a bitch.
A son of a bitch
with a wide following,
who can say whatever,
whenever.
This can end poorly.
Whatever he wants?
Tell him:
if he talks about us,
Ill kick his ass myself.
Go ahead, tell him.
Go ahead.
Sort it out. Call him.
No, no, no, Mom.
Im not going
to that crap birthday,
full of old people.
I dont want to.
You always do that.
How is that possible?
No, no.
The doctors report arrived.
Go ahead, read it.
Recommends starting
treatment as soon as possible,
as he faces a moment
of great pressure.
Cannot dismiss
signs of anxiety and depression
without proper follow-up.
Thats 3 millions off.
What did you say to the psychologist?
It doesnt even matter.
This is to bring down the price.
Those sons of bitches!
Let's see
how this affects the contract.
- Ill send them an email.
- No, Damian.
We cant fix this with email.
Well meet them face-to-face.
- Over there?
- We have to go to England.
God fucking damn it!
We going, Damian, or what?
Hey, go get them.
- Be good, keep at it.
- Have a nice trip.
Starting position, remember.
Always moving.
Go.
Thats it.
There it is.
That's good.
There it is.
I nearly played the Davis Cup,
for Uruguay.
A while back.
Against Ecuador, in Ecuador,
but I didnt make it.
They say its nice.
Have you been?
Yes.
Lots of history.
Altitude too.
I nearly went to Argentina to train,
but then got married...
- Hello Belen.
- Hello.
Hi.
I have to keep working.
Sure.
- Do you mind if...?
- No, go ahead.
Youre a legend.
Practice your drive.
- Use the machine, if you want.
- Okay.
Ill beat you again next time.
Lets go!
You look tired.
How are you?
Good?
Shall we warm up?
Okay.
Gentle, okay?
Good.
Very good.

The instructor?
Hes didn't come.
No?
That sucks.
Well, Im leaving.
Want to play?
Well, okay.
- Since were here.
- Right.
How about you?
Have you lived here long?
I was born here.
And?
So...
Do you like it?
A bit boring, isnt it?
Yeah.
All the same...
At least you play tennis.
Yeah.
Dont you like it?
Yeah, its good to keep busy.
Dont you do anything else?
- Like?
- I dont know.
- Are you studying or something?
- No.
Okay.
Neither am I.
Well, this is my stop.
- You live here?
- Yeah.
- I live around the corner.
- Oh, you missed your stop.
Yeah, well,
I dont have much else to do.
Okay.
Bye.
- See you.
- Later.
- Belen, right?
- Yes.
- Bye.
- See you.
Go... And back...
Go... And back...
To the side, thats it.
Go once more... Back.
More energy, Chris, thats it!

Some little ball...

Put your seatbelt on.
You keep gaining weight.
None of this, guys.
Big Guy, let me explain,
youll be responsible.
Physical training is important,
but nutrition and rest
are equally important.
From now on, youll tell me
when, what, and how much he eats
and rests.
Perfect.
Each of these columns
is a day of the week.
Yes.
The codes for the right foods
are in the rows,
along with the measures of supplements.
Here are the references.
My number is here
if you have any doubts.
- Call me at once.
- Ill call, for sure.
Christian, please,

anything not on the list.
After all this, you have to be fit

All eyes are on you.
Dont be stupid.

- Sure.
- Want some?
- No, no.
- How come?

- You never tried it?
- No.
Want to try?
Are you okay?
Disgusting.
- You dont know how to smoke.
- It burns my throat.
Thats fine.
We dont have to like the same things.
I like weed,
you like football.
Who said I like football?
You dont?
I don't know.
Its what I have to do.
Thats all.
Not if you dont want to.
Its not that easy.
Why?
Oh, look here!
Here.
This is me.

Lets play.
Heres a ball.

Oh, Im crying.
See those next

They look like...
So?
Couldnt fix it.
How come?
The athletic director
is not sure about you.
Neither is the coach.
I dont know.
They say its an investment.
There are other candidates.
Besides...
...the club owner
didnt like what you did.
He doesnt understand the sport.
So...
Nobody wants to take a risk.
Those English cowards.
Their loss.
We have more offers.
What do you mean?
What offers?
We have offers.
Well have to consider them.
Listen to me.
This is a mess.

I tried to do something nice for him.
Nice? This is about money.
Youre with me or against me.
Ive always been with you.

Did you know that,
son of a bitch?
What if he gets hurt?
Wholl pay for that?
