Push
"Sometimes in soccer you have to score goals.
" "Thierry Henry" [rap music playing.]
[commentator 1.]
The Cuervos are still falling in the general standings.
[commentator 2.]
We all know it's impossible to win with nine players.
[commentator 3.]
Injuries have caused a lot of problems for the Cuervos.
Even Cardone can't save them.
Potro's in trouble, with the team on his shoulders and unable to score a goal.
It's going to be a long season.
[bad analyst.]
Defeat after defeat for the Nuevo Toledo Cuervos.
[good analyst.]
It's the worst I've seen the Cuervos in a long time.
[commentator 4.]
There's a dark cloud over Nuevo Toledo.
The Cuervos can't get out of the hole they're in.
[good analyst.]
Another ejection, and the Cuervos' losing streak continues.
[commentator 3.]
Aitor Cardone turned out to be the worst signing in Cuervos history.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES [whistle blowing.]
[crowd cheering.]
[crowd cheering.]
[stadium horn blowing.]
I mean Chava is definitely an animal! I mean [exhales.]
if I told Nacion Futbol everything I knew about your brother, we could write a 500-page book and be millionaires.
[chuckles.]
In four months, more trainers have passed through this team than in four years with your dad.
I'm sure he'll go down in soccer history as the worst team owner.
Three more defeats and we're out I don't want to hear about my brother or soccer right now.
Are you ovulating? Mmm.
[Rafael moans.]
A difficult start, we began attacking aggressively and Well, we'll continue to learn to work as a team.
That's what we have to do.
We're failing a lot, mainly in communication, concentration and teamwork.
Um Well, we're not scoring.
And when is the goal coming, Potro? Soon, soon.
I did my job.
You're the only one doing his job, man.
[good analyst.]
The people of Nuevo Toledo don't deserve this.
[Mary Luz.]
Chava! [bad analyst.]
No one deserves to suffer this.
Mary Luz! [Mary Luz.]
Come here! [Mary Luz sobbing.]
Is everything okay? - No! - What? Oh, shit! - I'm worried about the bleeding.
- Welcome to the club.
Well, as I told you, any pregnancy - can have complications.
- Mmm.
In this case, Mary Luz seems to have - a placental abruption.
- [telephone rings.]
I'd like you to stay in the hospital under observation.
But I don't understand about the blood.
- Is the baby okay? - Yes, the baby's okay.
- Apparently - I don't understand, was the blood hers or the baby's? - Well, hers or from the placenta.
- Thank God.
Really, everything seems fine, but I'd like you to stay in the hospital [phone rings.]
to keep an eye on you both until the baby's born.
How long does she have to stay hospitalized? - It hasn't been established.
- He's here.
I'll put him on.
- Who is it? - Felix.
Felix, not now.
I'm a bit busy, dude.
We just lost our head coach.
Who cares? Fuck it! We care! Or did you forget how difficult it was to find a replacement when I fired Fredy? Felix, I don't have time for this.
I've been at the hospital all night.
I'm with the doctor.
See you later.
[dial tone.]
- Sorry, where did you say you studied? - Huh? - I'd like a second opinion.
- Oh, Chava.
- Well, of course, with pleasure.
- Thanks very much.
That's all.
[Felix.]
Yes, the Cuervos.
It's a great opportunity.
[man on phone.]
Ha, ha, ha.
Why are you laughing? Why does it make me laugh? Because it's funny.
What's funny about being the head coach who saves the Cuervos from dropping to the Liga de Ascenso? - [laughs sarcastically.]
- [sighs.]
What? No, that's just a rumor! Chava and I get along perfectly! [man 1.]
That's not what Chava says.
- To who? - To whoever buys him a drink.
How about we make you interim head coach until we find someone permanent? [man 2.]
How about you go fuck your mother? [sighs.]
[man 3.]
I don't need the money, I don't need the drama.
Deal with Chava and Nuevo Toledo? It's a goddamn one-horse town.
You don't have to be insulting, man.
Yes, I understand.
But it's not that funny, okay? FELIX DOMINGO GENERAL MANAGER [sighs.]
[Felix.]
Isabel What is it, Felix? How far did Rafa get with his coaching certification? - Rafa? - Mmm-hmm.
He was taking it, wasn't he, before returning as a goalkeeper? Yeah, but I don't know if he finished.
What? You want to make him coach? [exhales.]
Well, he's an authority figure, with moral weight on the team.
The people would appreciate it.
You didn't find a coach.
[chuckles.]
I mean, I can't enter the office, I can't talk to anyone, but you want my husband as coach.
Wonderful.
Are you giving me your blessing or what? I need at least one Iglesias to approve it.
Okay.
I thought you'd be happier.
[Chava.]
Dude, sorry, I had a family emergency.
I came as fast as I could.
- Don Salvador Iglesias.
- What happened? The Apocalypse happened.
Look at all this shit.
Lies, defamation, slander.
Oh, fuck, dude! Those dipshits are saying I'm responsible for the Cuervos being on their knees.
It's not true, dude.
Ignore - And that my playing stinks! - Don't be stupid I just want to use my incredible talent to help the team, damn it.
Does that make me the bad guy? No! Look, Aitor, we have to calm down.
This really isn't that bad, dude.
Son of a bitch, this is your fault.
How is it my fault, dude? You're responsible for me leaving everything I loved and coming to this third world country with your promises and your beautiful ass.
Yes, I admit that was a factor.
You told me Mexico was a paradise.
Mexico is hell.
Chava, Mexico is the end of Aitor.
No, look.
Don't be like that, dude.
I'm sure we can turn this around, dude What the fuck are you doing here? You never fucked a soccer player to get even with your husband? Ah, I don't know how to tell you, dude I'm not married.
[laughs.]
What the fuck, dude? Dude, stop fucking around! What the hell? - [groaning.]
- Look You dare mention this to anyone, and I'll keep them and serve them to you for breakfast.
- Yeah! - Without salt, man.
Okay! Look, you know what? Tell who you want.
Torero ears and tail, eh? For real, dude? Of all the girls in Nuevo Toledo, you had to fool around with my sister's best friend, dude? Let me put it this way.
First you said zero dicks, and I haven't found one on her.
Second, I have no idea who that chick is, but when I woke up, she was fucking me like a horse in heat Really, Aitor, I'm not interested in the details, man.
My point is that I'm the only one who's doing anything, and everything that goes wrong is thrown in my face.
"President Bandwagon " Ah, they're going after you, too, eh? "Promises stars, delivers duds.
" Son of a bitch! Hey, what does "bandwagon" mean? Ah, it's It's when you change teams at the last minute to go with the winner.
Why do they accuse you of that if we're losing? [sighs.]
Hey, Dad, can I take the car to the mall? - You're ten.
- I'm 16.
- That's what I meant.
- [sighs.]
I should just take it and you wouldn't even know! You touch the car and I'll get you drug tested, prick.
And stop using mascara! - Did you get my message? - Yes.
Which one? The one with the photos of pajamas for Salvador's son.
[sighs.]
The last thing the world needs, another Iglesias kid.
[sighs.]
Felix, love of my life.
I'm sick of you coming home every day as if you'd been run over by a train.
You don't owe that team anything.
Let's go.
I have nowhere to go.
We don't need money.
We could start doing something else.
I've spent 25 years running that team as if it were mine.
I'm realizing that it isn't.
It never was.
Okay, listen, everyone.
Listen, please.
I know in the last few months things haven't been very stable, but I'm very pleased to present Rafael, our new interim coach.
He's going to help us get through the rest of the season with our dignity intact.
I know you'll give this Cuervo legend the respect he deserves.
Well, he's not a legend.
[Laughs.]
Easy, man, eh? Because I have more goals than you this season and I'm not even playing.
[all laugh.]
Congratulations.
Okay.
Um Okay, first of all Hey, Rafaita, one thing.
A question, dude.
Have you been a coach before? Never.
Then is this legal? According to FIFA, I mean.
I'm certified.
- So you've done a course? - Several.
Several You know, if a dude takes a course online, it doesn't mean he's a coach.
I need a real one, not someone's brother-in-law.
Chava didn't hire Rafa, I did.
And here we go with Felix.
You know, I've been coached by people like Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho On the national team Vicente del Bosque.
But there's something that doesn't fit, you know? Rafael who? What's your last name, man? If you're hoping I'll follow this amateur's orders, you're wrong.
No, I don't hope you will, I'm telling you what you're going to do.
[Aitor sighs.]
Well, boys, uh This Saturday, we cannot lose.
This Saturday, we're going to win.
We have a lot of work to do, and a short time to do it in.
So please, gentlemen! Get it together! - [all cheering.]
- And let's get on the field! Let's go! Go, Cuervos! What the hell, Felix? Aitor's very upset, I'm very upset.
Rafael? Isabel's husband? For real? Remember the shit she did to me? If you'd been here, we could've talked about it, but since you weren't, I made the decision I think is best for the team.
No, wait! For my team! Don't forget that, man! No, I won't forget, Chava.
That's very hard to forget.
Then stop making decisions without me.
I tried to call you many times.
No I was busy, dude! I was at the hospital! Mary Luz was about to lose the baby and I had to be there! Well, since you weren't here, I did what I had to.
Rafa is our last card.
Unless you have another coach signed.
Huh? Since all the coaches in Mexico are dying to work with us.
Hmm? No? Nothing? Oh, my God! Hugo Sanchez, I have something on my desk.
Can you come here, please? [crowd cheering.]
Okay, great, boys.
Come here.
Please, gather round.
Come on, please, quickly! Okay, well, um I was hoping our three injured players would be out of trouble but, well I don't know, their injuries must be serious and no therapy is helping.
We're going to start like this.
Potro center forward.
Stay there.
Tony, Aitor, play on the wings.
Aitor, I need you to pull this defender with our midfield engaged in this zone to create simple chances for Tony and Potro Ha, ha! Hey, you've come as the clown today, right? Why don't you act like a normal person with a brain, and tell them how they have to support Aitor? Aitor, left wing, pulling the defender.
I see by your red face that you're not very happy today.
I apologize, okay? Sorry, it's my fault.
I'll clarify, okay? Aitor doesn't play the wings, ever.
This is not a debate.
Rafita, just because you were the only person desperate enough to accept this job, doesn't mean that Aitor's going to listen to you.
Aitor is center forward.
Not him.
Apart from being a star, sure.
But that's another point.
No, wait, it's the whole point.
You're right, Your Highness.
You're on the bench, please.
Killer, I need you to play wide and cross No one No one puts Aitor on the bench.
I just did! Look, why do you keep digging your own grave? You've got more balls than brains, dude.
Why don't you call Chava? Call him! And see who's left on the bench, eh? Let's go, boys! Let's warm up.
I'll give you some tips better than his.
After winning their first game of the season in a dramatic manner - [Mary Luz.]
Chava - Hmm? - Go and watch the game, okay? - No.
Go.
- Go on, I know you want to go.
- No, as if.
They said you're going to go into labor and No, I won't go into labor yet, really.
- You're sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Okay, I think I'll get going.
- Yes, go.
- Whatever you need just give me a call.
You know where I am, - and in 20 minutes, I'm here.
- Yes, yes.
- Good luck.
- Okay.
Ow, son of a What? - Ow! - What? What's wrong? I think I had a contraction.
Are you sure? How can I be sure if I've never had one, Chava? [stammering.]
Well, we should talk to the nurse, right? [whispering.]
Talk to the nurse.
Sure, I'm going! To talk to the nurse.
Nurse! Chava, it's Felix.
Again.
I'm here with Rafa, get in touch.
It's urgent.
Fucking Aitor! We can win this fucking game, and he's sabotaging it, damn it! No! I'd love to bench that bastard! Let's do it.
And not tell Chava? Fuck it, he's not here.
I am.
Cardone, come here! At last, a decent guy! Have you told this amateur I just want to do my job? - You're on the bench.
- What? You're on the bench.
- No, you're joking, right? - Rafa, do I look like I'm joking? No, you don't look like you're joking.
Rafa doesn't think I'm joking, so I guess I'm being serious.
Yeah, Felix, but I don't obey you.
I obey Chava.
But Chava isn't here, so you have no fucking choice and you're going to the goddamn bench right now.
You know what? Perfect.
I don't care! This is a shit country and a shit team! I'm going! I didn't say out of the stadium, I said to the bench.
So you're going to sit on that bench, in front of everyone, so everyone knows who sent you there, you little prick.
All right.
And if I don't, what? You'll be violating your contract and I can fine you whatever I want, and you won't see a fucking peso.
Now, if you think Chava is coming to save you, go ahead.
[Velcro ripping.]
Fuck! God! THEY PUT AITOR ON THE BENCH [good analyst.]
Another game for the Cuervos.
Potro continues his drought, Moises injured THEY PUT AITOR ON THE BENCH! - No fucking way, man.
- Aitor is on the bench.
What could have happened for them to make such a terrible decision? He's the only one that does anything on the field! [cell phone ringing.]
[dial tone.]
Goddamn hobbit, dude.
Yes, sir? Hugo Sanchez, put Felix on.
[stammering.]
Yes, sir, but he's on the field.
I know, Hugo Sanchez.
Go down to the field and put him on.
[stammering.]
Yes, sir.
I'm going.
Yes, here he is.
Uh, sir, it's Chava.
What? What's wrong with you now? Ignoring my calls or what? I thought you were playing house with your girlfriend.
Ah, hilarious! I forgot you were so funny, dude.
What the fuck's going on with Rafael? Is he crazy? Tell him to play Aitor.
I put Aitor on the bench and I'm not going to change my mind.
I don't give a shit about your mind! I'm telling you who to play! I'm coming! Felix! Hello? Motherfucker! Uh Do you think it'll be much longer? I just have to go out and kill someone and I'd like to be here before the baby comes.
She's three centimeters, it'll be a while.
- Don't go.
Please, stay.
- No.
I'll be right here.
Stay here, okay? No, I have to go.
Just 45 minutes, an hour maximum.
Up to 20 hours.
- [both.]
Twenty hours? - Shit, what the fuck! Babies come when they want to.
That gives me time to go and come back.
Just hang on here.
Tighten up.
Keep him in and just Cross your legs, okay? Son of a bitch! You called? Oh, it wasn't for me.
[panting.]
Fucking Felix.
No way, man.
[sighs.]
Good.
There, Barrios.
So you wait for the one day I don't come to work to go completely crazy, man.
Aitor, warm up, you're going on! - Sit down! - No, he's not your damn dog, dude! Felix, I'm sick of you contradicting me all the time, man! I'm not contradicting you, I'm saving you! No, you're not! You're doing things old school, the only way you know how! I've spent 30 years with this team and no one has ever called us a mediocre team.
- Bullshit! - Whereas, since you've put your hands on it, in just one year we're about to drop to the Liga de Ascenso.
Yeah, because I trusted you! You said you knew what you were doing! And guess what? You don't, dude! The only thing you know is your bullshit, useless Eight-Year Plan! If you're such a big deal, why has no one offered you a job? [distorted.]
Why don't you have your own team? You think you're better than me, but you're not! I have training, too, and I can do your job better than you, man! I can do that job, too! I can do it, too! You're right, Chava.
If I had the experience and wisdom that you've accumulated in 29 years of drinking, fucking and squandering your father's money, I'd have my own team, too.
Who the fuck do you think you are? Where are you going, dude? [Felix.]
Home.
[Chava.]
No, you stay here and do your damn job.
[Felix.]
Sadly, we don't agree on what "your damn job" is.
[Chava.]
If you leave, don't think about coming back.
I wasn't thinking about it, spoiled brat.
Felix, I'm your boss, you bastard! You work for me, Felix! If I say "shit," you eat it, dude! Felix! Felix! Fucking hell, dude! - Hugo Sanchez! - Sir? You're in charge, dude.
I'm going to the hospital, I trust you.
No, don't even think about it, okay? No.
- [Rafael.]
Follow him, Barrios! - Aitor.
[exhales deeply.]
[doctor.]
Push! Push! That's it! You're doing great! Rest.
[moaning.]
Chava! Come here! Chava! I told you that Don't look, Chava! Please, good God, come here! Push, push Push once more.
- Push.
- I am pushing! [doctor.]
That's it! That's it! Great! - [groaning.]
- Very good.
[doctor.]
There it is.
- [groaning continues.]
- That's it! That's it! Very good! [laughs.]
No fucking way! It's incredible, dude! Want to keep the cord? Chavita, look.
He's just like your dad.
Look, oh! - My dad didn't look so much like E.
T.
- Hey! What do you think he's thinking? I hope he's watching this.
Of course he's watching, and he's probably saying that he'd get along well with Isabel.
[laughing.]
[Hugo Sanchez laughs.]
That's not going to happen! Of course, that's not something that would concern me, right? [chuckles nervously.]
I'm just here to see if I can offer anything to my boss, Mr.
Chava.
But pleased to meet you.
I'm Hugo Sanchez.
- Hugo Sanchez.
- Yes, sir? - Enough, right.
- [knock on door.]
- Excuse me, good morning.
- Yes.
The baby was born.
[baby cries.]
I know, champ.
I understand.
I hope you haven't come to make trouble.
No, not at all, Tio.
How could you think that? No.
Congratulations.
In fact, I've brought you a gift.
I hope you like it.
Um, I'm really here for what she promised us, that is, the DNA test.
- You couldn't wait even 24 hours? - No.
I'm very sorry, but no, Chava.
It'll just take a minute.
Come in, Jazmin, please.
This doesn't hurt at all.
It's very quick, don't worry.
It's completely harmless.
They put in a Q-tip.
It's nothing.
It'll be quicker than you think.
Thank you, Jazmin.
Done.
Um well, we're finished.
Perfect, and Remember, Mary Luz, it's nothing personal.
Honestly.
Congratulations.
Give me a second.
Isabel.
Isabel.
What is it? Don't do this, dude.
It's horrible, come on.
What are you talking about? The lab, the DNA, that test, we don't need it.
Are you crazy? Why can't you feel a bit of empathy for people? She's a widow, she doesn't have anyone.
Why can't you just accept that he's our brother? - What's it to you? - No.
- What's it to you? - No, Chava, come on.
You're so far into this you don't want to know the truth.
No, look, the truth is that baby needs a family.
Why can't you drop your damn obsession with Mary Luz and accept it? What I'll accept are the facts not fiction.
That baby is not Dad.
It won't bring him back.
It doesn't matter how much you want it.
You see? That's why I told you not to get close to her.
That woman is intelligent and manipulative and dangerous, Chava.
Yes, I do want to end this.
Because maybe I can't do anything for the team, but I can do something for this family.
Okay.
Do what you want.
We already know what the result will be.
Hi, good afternoon.
I'm going to need, please, an urgent DNA test for this afternoon.
Thank you.
The results take 48 hours.
Forty-eight hours? Do you personally take it to Switzerland or what? No, I'll go with the competition, thanks.
Well, if you want to go to Queretaro.
There's no competition around here.
God damn it, let's see I'm just asking for it as soon as possible.
You don't understand what this test means to me.
You can't comprehend how important it is to me.
I mean, my whole life depends on that test.
It's my life.
Do you care about my life or what? Do you want the test or not? Okay.
Forty-eight hours? Okay, then.
[sighs.]
[sniffling.]
See you tomorrow, Mr.
Felix.
[Felix.]
See you tomorrow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I've come for my results.
- Mmm-hmm.
How many DNA tests can there be in Nuevo Toledo? Your results.
I ordered your dinner.
They'll bring it up soon.
I have to go to the office because I'm left with no general manager, and I have to find a new coach for Aitor.
- [sniffling.]
Chava.
- Mmm.
What's wrong? I need you to promise me something.
What? What's wrong? What is it? [exhales.]
I need you to promise me that if something happens to me, you'll take care of Valentin.
You're the only family he has.
Yes.
Where's your family? Why has no one come to see you? No.
No, my family can't have anything to do with Valentin.
Why? Because they can't.
I'll tell you another time.
Now just Now I just need you to promise me that.
Okay? Yes, okay.
Of course I'll be there.
He's my brother, right? [Laughs.]
[whispering.]
Yes.
I have to go to the office.
Want me to stay a bit longer? - [crying.]
Yes.
- Right, okay.
- [baby cooing.]
- Okay.
How lovely.
How can we help you? It's okay, Chava.
- You're sure? - Yes.
How do you do it? I mean, is it men in general, or just the ones named Iglesias? - Open it.
- I don't have to.
[sighs deeply.]
He's an Iglesias.
You won, congratulations.
[laughs.]
Oh, dude.
I knew it.
I'm going to the office.
[squawks.]
[sighs.]
Here's the certificate for 503, baby Valentin.
- Do you want me to take it? - [nurse.]
I will.
Leave it there.
Okay.
DETAILS OF PARENTS OF LIVE BIRTH CONSTANZA SOSA The Real Madrid of the Americas.
What the fuck are you doing here? Oh, sorry, I owe you an apology.
It's like the Holy Grail to me, finding a chair that doesn't hurt my back.
When I see one that's half decent, I have to sit down and try it.
My ex-wife says I'd sit in an electric chair - if it were comfortable.
- Yes.
Look, sorry.
I'm going to call security.
Who are you and who let you in? Eliseo Canales.
The agent.
That's me.
Yes, sir.
It was high time we met, right? How can I help you? You want to create the Real Madrid of the Americas.
I like it.
I like people who think big.
Ambitious.
- Yes - It's complicated, isn't it? I imagine you could have said this by e-mail, so - What do you need? - No.
I want to see the face of the man who I'll make owner of the Real Madrid of the Americas.
Yeah, sure.
It'll cost us, it'll be complicated.
Real Madrid, Madrid, capital of Spain! Nuevo Toledo How could we define Nuevo Toledo? Mmm? With me you can have it.
With you? Look This is very generous, right? Well, I know we've had our small differences, but I'm guessing no worse than with your father, right? I too had a father and I killed him.
[laughs.]
Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor.
- Uh, no kidding.
- No, my father is alive.
He's alive, you can call him.
He's alive.
Really.
Great.
And Yes, but you won't like talking to him.
[laughs.]
Okay, well, listen, going back to your generous proposal, uh I'd like to know, well What do you get out of it? Oh, who cares what I want or what I get? What's important is that you get the glory and fame that turns you on so much.
Look, I'd love to keep listening to you, but I have things to do.
- Do you mind? - Your chair.
Yes.
Mr.
President.
I'd like you to have a wall like that one day.
Chava, I'm not so different from you.
[laughs.]
I understand perfectly what's happened to you this year.
All those doubts, the pressures It's difficult to be captain.
What's wrong? Did I say something? No.
I don't know what you're selling, but we're not interested.
Never say "we," it shows weakness.
- I'm not interested.
- You're not interested.
- I'm not interested.
- You are.
- I'm not interested.
- You are.
- I'm not interested.
- Yes, you are.
And that's why I'm here, to get you interested.
Players, great players, promising, excellent.
And a coach, Fredy Pausini, who you already know.
I understand what happened with Felix Domingo is very serious, and you'll need a general manager.
I have a great prospect.
And that's just this year.
Next year, we build the Real Madrid of the Americas.
Awesome! And all I have to do is keep my arms folded while you're playing puppets with my team and reaping all the benefits.
Well, the alternative isn't better, is it? Okay, thanks very much.
No, I'm not interested.
Are we done? No.
This is my office, I'll ask you to get out of here.
We're not done.
I'm just starting with you, kid.
Let me explain something to you.
I'm the one who sent your best men to the bench.
I'm the one who's had more penalties called against you than in any other season.
I'm the one who's made the press laugh at you for the way you bought Aitor.
And I've sent Moises to Atromitos in Greece.
Ah [laughs.]
He hasn't told you yet? Look you've got me all wrong, dude.
I'm not falling for your Godfather routine.
They all say that and they all regret it.
Do you really think you're still owner of this team? By the way the photos of the party with the hookers.
Was that you, motherfucker? No.
If I'd sent them, no one could have suppressed them.
It was your sister.
She sent them.
If I tell what I know about this team, you won't get to next season.
You're on your own.
You have no friends, you have no family, you have no allies.
You just have me.
Think about it, Captain! [knocks on wood.]
[tickling.]
Hi, there! Hi! Hello! Whose little hands are these? [kisses.]
Whose little hands are these?
" "Thierry Henry" [rap music playing.]
[commentator 1.]
The Cuervos are still falling in the general standings.
[commentator 2.]
We all know it's impossible to win with nine players.
[commentator 3.]
Injuries have caused a lot of problems for the Cuervos.
Even Cardone can't save them.
Potro's in trouble, with the team on his shoulders and unable to score a goal.
It's going to be a long season.
[bad analyst.]
Defeat after defeat for the Nuevo Toledo Cuervos.
[good analyst.]
It's the worst I've seen the Cuervos in a long time.
[commentator 4.]
There's a dark cloud over Nuevo Toledo.
The Cuervos can't get out of the hole they're in.
[good analyst.]
Another ejection, and the Cuervos' losing streak continues.
[commentator 3.]
Aitor Cardone turned out to be the worst signing in Cuervos history.

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES [whistle blowing.]
[crowd cheering.]
[crowd cheering.]
[stadium horn blowing.]
I mean Chava is definitely an animal! I mean [exhales.]
if I told Nacion Futbol everything I knew about your brother, we could write a 500-page book and be millionaires.
[chuckles.]
In four months, more trainers have passed through this team than in four years with your dad.
I'm sure he'll go down in soccer history as the worst team owner.
Three more defeats and we're out I don't want to hear about my brother or soccer right now.
Are you ovulating? Mmm.
[Rafael moans.]
A difficult start, we began attacking aggressively and Well, we'll continue to learn to work as a team.
That's what we have to do.
We're failing a lot, mainly in communication, concentration and teamwork.
Um Well, we're not scoring.
And when is the goal coming, Potro? Soon, soon.
I did my job.
You're the only one doing his job, man.
[good analyst.]
The people of Nuevo Toledo don't deserve this.
[Mary Luz.]
Chava! [bad analyst.]
No one deserves to suffer this.
Mary Luz! [Mary Luz.]
Come here! [Mary Luz sobbing.]
Is everything okay? - No! - What? Oh, shit! - I'm worried about the bleeding.
- Welcome to the club.
Well, as I told you, any pregnancy - can have complications.
- Mmm.
In this case, Mary Luz seems to have - a placental abruption.
- [telephone rings.]
I'd like you to stay in the hospital under observation.
But I don't understand about the blood.
- Is the baby okay? - Yes, the baby's okay.
- Apparently - I don't understand, was the blood hers or the baby's? - Well, hers or from the placenta.
- Thank God.
Really, everything seems fine, but I'd like you to stay in the hospital [phone rings.]
to keep an eye on you both until the baby's born.
How long does she have to stay hospitalized? - It hasn't been established.
- He's here.
I'll put him on.
- Who is it? - Felix.
Felix, not now.
I'm a bit busy, dude.
We just lost our head coach.
Who cares? Fuck it! We care! Or did you forget how difficult it was to find a replacement when I fired Fredy? Felix, I don't have time for this.
I've been at the hospital all night.
I'm with the doctor.
See you later.
[dial tone.]
- Sorry, where did you say you studied? - Huh? - I'd like a second opinion.
- Oh, Chava.
- Well, of course, with pleasure.
- Thanks very much.
That's all.
[Felix.]
Yes, the Cuervos.
It's a great opportunity.
[man on phone.]
Ha, ha, ha.
Why are you laughing? Why does it make me laugh? Because it's funny.
What's funny about being the head coach who saves the Cuervos from dropping to the Liga de Ascenso? - [laughs sarcastically.]
- [sighs.]
What? No, that's just a rumor! Chava and I get along perfectly! [man 1.]
That's not what Chava says.
- To who? - To whoever buys him a drink.
How about we make you interim head coach until we find someone permanent? [man 2.]
How about you go fuck your mother? [sighs.]
[man 3.]
I don't need the money, I don't need the drama.
Deal with Chava and Nuevo Toledo? It's a goddamn one-horse town.
You don't have to be insulting, man.
Yes, I understand.
But it's not that funny, okay? FELIX DOMINGO GENERAL MANAGER [sighs.]
[Felix.]
Isabel What is it, Felix? How far did Rafa get with his coaching certification? - Rafa? - Mmm-hmm.
He was taking it, wasn't he, before returning as a goalkeeper? Yeah, but I don't know if he finished.
What? You want to make him coach? [exhales.]
Well, he's an authority figure, with moral weight on the team.
The people would appreciate it.
You didn't find a coach.
[chuckles.]
I mean, I can't enter the office, I can't talk to anyone, but you want my husband as coach.
Wonderful.
Are you giving me your blessing or what? I need at least one Iglesias to approve it.
Okay.
I thought you'd be happier.
[Chava.]
Dude, sorry, I had a family emergency.
I came as fast as I could.
- Don Salvador Iglesias.
- What happened? The Apocalypse happened.
Look at all this shit.
Lies, defamation, slander.
Oh, fuck, dude! Those dipshits are saying I'm responsible for the Cuervos being on their knees.
It's not true, dude.
Ignore - And that my playing stinks! - Don't be stupid I just want to use my incredible talent to help the team, damn it.
Does that make me the bad guy? No! Look, Aitor, we have to calm down.
This really isn't that bad, dude.
Son of a bitch, this is your fault.
How is it my fault, dude? You're responsible for me leaving everything I loved and coming to this third world country with your promises and your beautiful ass.
Yes, I admit that was a factor.
You told me Mexico was a paradise.
Mexico is hell.
Chava, Mexico is the end of Aitor.
No, look.
Don't be like that, dude.
I'm sure we can turn this around, dude What the fuck are you doing here? You never fucked a soccer player to get even with your husband? Ah, I don't know how to tell you, dude I'm not married.
[laughs.]
What the fuck, dude? Dude, stop fucking around! What the hell? - [groaning.]
- Look You dare mention this to anyone, and I'll keep them and serve them to you for breakfast.
- Yeah! - Without salt, man.
Okay! Look, you know what? Tell who you want.
Torero ears and tail, eh? For real, dude? Of all the girls in Nuevo Toledo, you had to fool around with my sister's best friend, dude? Let me put it this way.
First you said zero dicks, and I haven't found one on her.
Second, I have no idea who that chick is, but when I woke up, she was fucking me like a horse in heat Really, Aitor, I'm not interested in the details, man.
My point is that I'm the only one who's doing anything, and everything that goes wrong is thrown in my face.
"President Bandwagon " Ah, they're going after you, too, eh? "Promises stars, delivers duds.
" Son of a bitch! Hey, what does "bandwagon" mean? Ah, it's It's when you change teams at the last minute to go with the winner.
Why do they accuse you of that if we're losing? [sighs.]
Hey, Dad, can I take the car to the mall? - You're ten.
- I'm 16.
- That's what I meant.
- [sighs.]
I should just take it and you wouldn't even know! You touch the car and I'll get you drug tested, prick.
And stop using mascara! - Did you get my message? - Yes.
Which one? The one with the photos of pajamas for Salvador's son.
[sighs.]
The last thing the world needs, another Iglesias kid.
[sighs.]
Felix, love of my life.
I'm sick of you coming home every day as if you'd been run over by a train.
You don't owe that team anything.
Let's go.
I have nowhere to go.
We don't need money.
We could start doing something else.
I've spent 25 years running that team as if it were mine.
I'm realizing that it isn't.
It never was.
Okay, listen, everyone.
Listen, please.
I know in the last few months things haven't been very stable, but I'm very pleased to present Rafael, our new interim coach.
He's going to help us get through the rest of the season with our dignity intact.
I know you'll give this Cuervo legend the respect he deserves.
Well, he's not a legend.
[Laughs.]
Easy, man, eh? Because I have more goals than you this season and I'm not even playing.
[all laugh.]
Congratulations.
Okay.
Um Okay, first of all Hey, Rafaita, one thing.
A question, dude.
Have you been a coach before? Never.
Then is this legal? According to FIFA, I mean.
I'm certified.
- So you've done a course? - Several.
Several You know, if a dude takes a course online, it doesn't mean he's a coach.
I need a real one, not someone's brother-in-law.
Chava didn't hire Rafa, I did.
And here we go with Felix.
You know, I've been coached by people like Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho On the national team Vicente del Bosque.
But there's something that doesn't fit, you know? Rafael who? What's your last name, man? If you're hoping I'll follow this amateur's orders, you're wrong.
No, I don't hope you will, I'm telling you what you're going to do.
[Aitor sighs.]
Well, boys, uh This Saturday, we cannot lose.
This Saturday, we're going to win.
We have a lot of work to do, and a short time to do it in.
So please, gentlemen! Get it together! - [all cheering.]
- And let's get on the field! Let's go! Go, Cuervos! What the hell, Felix? Aitor's very upset, I'm very upset.
Rafael? Isabel's husband? For real? Remember the shit she did to me? If you'd been here, we could've talked about it, but since you weren't, I made the decision I think is best for the team.
No, wait! For my team! Don't forget that, man! No, I won't forget, Chava.
That's very hard to forget.
Then stop making decisions without me.
I tried to call you many times.
No I was busy, dude! I was at the hospital! Mary Luz was about to lose the baby and I had to be there! Well, since you weren't here, I did what I had to.
Rafa is our last card.
Unless you have another coach signed.
Huh? Since all the coaches in Mexico are dying to work with us.
Hmm? No? Nothing? Oh, my God! Hugo Sanchez, I have something on my desk.
Can you come here, please? [crowd cheering.]
Okay, great, boys.
Come here.
Please, gather round.
Come on, please, quickly! Okay, well, um I was hoping our three injured players would be out of trouble but, well I don't know, their injuries must be serious and no therapy is helping.
We're going to start like this.
Potro center forward.
Stay there.
Tony, Aitor, play on the wings.
Aitor, I need you to pull this defender with our midfield engaged in this zone to create simple chances for Tony and Potro Ha, ha! Hey, you've come as the clown today, right? Why don't you act like a normal person with a brain, and tell them how they have to support Aitor? Aitor, left wing, pulling the defender.
I see by your red face that you're not very happy today.
I apologize, okay? Sorry, it's my fault.
I'll clarify, okay? Aitor doesn't play the wings, ever.
This is not a debate.
Rafita, just because you were the only person desperate enough to accept this job, doesn't mean that Aitor's going to listen to you.
Aitor is center forward.
Not him.
Apart from being a star, sure.
But that's another point.
No, wait, it's the whole point.
You're right, Your Highness.
You're on the bench, please.
Killer, I need you to play wide and cross No one No one puts Aitor on the bench.
I just did! Look, why do you keep digging your own grave? You've got more balls than brains, dude.
Why don't you call Chava? Call him! And see who's left on the bench, eh? Let's go, boys! Let's warm up.
I'll give you some tips better than his.
After winning their first game of the season in a dramatic manner - [Mary Luz.]
Chava - Hmm? - Go and watch the game, okay? - No.
Go.
- Go on, I know you want to go.
- No, as if.
They said you're going to go into labor and No, I won't go into labor yet, really.
- You're sure? - Yes, I'm sure.
Okay, I think I'll get going.
- Yes, go.
- Whatever you need just give me a call.
You know where I am, - and in 20 minutes, I'm here.
- Yes, yes.
- Good luck.
- Okay.
Ow, son of a What? - Ow! - What? What's wrong? I think I had a contraction.
Are you sure? How can I be sure if I've never had one, Chava? [stammering.]
Well, we should talk to the nurse, right? [whispering.]
Talk to the nurse.
Sure, I'm going! To talk to the nurse.
Nurse! Chava, it's Felix.
Again.
I'm here with Rafa, get in touch.
It's urgent.
Fucking Aitor! We can win this fucking game, and he's sabotaging it, damn it! No! I'd love to bench that bastard! Let's do it.
And not tell Chava? Fuck it, he's not here.
I am.
Cardone, come here! At last, a decent guy! Have you told this amateur I just want to do my job? - You're on the bench.
- What? You're on the bench.
- No, you're joking, right? - Rafa, do I look like I'm joking? No, you don't look like you're joking.
Rafa doesn't think I'm joking, so I guess I'm being serious.
Yeah, Felix, but I don't obey you.
I obey Chava.
But Chava isn't here, so you have no fucking choice and you're going to the goddamn bench right now.
You know what? Perfect.
I don't care! This is a shit country and a shit team! I'm going! I didn't say out of the stadium, I said to the bench.
So you're going to sit on that bench, in front of everyone, so everyone knows who sent you there, you little prick.
All right.
And if I don't, what? You'll be violating your contract and I can fine you whatever I want, and you won't see a fucking peso.
Now, if you think Chava is coming to save you, go ahead.
[Velcro ripping.]
Fuck! God! THEY PUT AITOR ON THE BENCH [good analyst.]
Another game for the Cuervos.
Potro continues his drought, Moises injured THEY PUT AITOR ON THE BENCH! - No fucking way, man.
- Aitor is on the bench.
What could have happened for them to make such a terrible decision? He's the only one that does anything on the field! [cell phone ringing.]
[dial tone.]
Goddamn hobbit, dude.
Yes, sir? Hugo Sanchez, put Felix on.
[stammering.]
Yes, sir, but he's on the field.
I know, Hugo Sanchez.
Go down to the field and put him on.
[stammering.]
Yes, sir.
I'm going.
Yes, here he is.
Uh, sir, it's Chava.
What? What's wrong with you now? Ignoring my calls or what? I thought you were playing house with your girlfriend.
Ah, hilarious! I forgot you were so funny, dude.
What the fuck's going on with Rafael? Is he crazy? Tell him to play Aitor.
I put Aitor on the bench and I'm not going to change my mind.
I don't give a shit about your mind! I'm telling you who to play! I'm coming! Felix! Hello? Motherfucker! Uh Do you think it'll be much longer? I just have to go out and kill someone and I'd like to be here before the baby comes.
She's three centimeters, it'll be a while.
- Don't go.
Please, stay.
- No.
I'll be right here.
Stay here, okay? No, I have to go.
Just 45 minutes, an hour maximum.
Up to 20 hours.
- [both.]
Twenty hours? - Shit, what the fuck! Babies come when they want to.
That gives me time to go and come back.
Just hang on here.
Tighten up.
Keep him in and just Cross your legs, okay? Son of a bitch! You called? Oh, it wasn't for me.
[panting.]
Fucking Felix.
No way, man.
[sighs.]
Good.
There, Barrios.
So you wait for the one day I don't come to work to go completely crazy, man.
Aitor, warm up, you're going on! - Sit down! - No, he's not your damn dog, dude! Felix, I'm sick of you contradicting me all the time, man! I'm not contradicting you, I'm saving you! No, you're not! You're doing things old school, the only way you know how! I've spent 30 years with this team and no one has ever called us a mediocre team.
- Bullshit! - Whereas, since you've put your hands on it, in just one year we're about to drop to the Liga de Ascenso.
Yeah, because I trusted you! You said you knew what you were doing! And guess what? You don't, dude! The only thing you know is your bullshit, useless Eight-Year Plan! If you're such a big deal, why has no one offered you a job? [distorted.]
Why don't you have your own team? You think you're better than me, but you're not! I have training, too, and I can do your job better than you, man! I can do that job, too! I can do it, too! You're right, Chava.
If I had the experience and wisdom that you've accumulated in 29 years of drinking, fucking and squandering your father's money, I'd have my own team, too.
Who the fuck do you think you are? Where are you going, dude? [Felix.]
Home.
[Chava.]
No, you stay here and do your damn job.
[Felix.]
Sadly, we don't agree on what "your damn job" is.
[Chava.]
If you leave, don't think about coming back.
I wasn't thinking about it, spoiled brat.
Felix, I'm your boss, you bastard! You work for me, Felix! If I say "shit," you eat it, dude! Felix! Felix! Fucking hell, dude! - Hugo Sanchez! - Sir? You're in charge, dude.
I'm going to the hospital, I trust you.
No, don't even think about it, okay? No.
- [Rafael.]
Follow him, Barrios! - Aitor.
[exhales deeply.]
[doctor.]
Push! Push! That's it! You're doing great! Rest.
[moaning.]
Chava! Come here! Chava! I told you that Don't look, Chava! Please, good God, come here! Push, push Push once more.
- Push.
- I am pushing! [doctor.]
That's it! That's it! Great! - [groaning.]
- Very good.
[doctor.]
There it is.
- [groaning continues.]
- That's it! That's it! Very good! [laughs.]
No fucking way! It's incredible, dude! Want to keep the cord? Chavita, look.
He's just like your dad.
Look, oh! - My dad didn't look so much like E.
T.
- Hey! What do you think he's thinking? I hope he's watching this.
Of course he's watching, and he's probably saying that he'd get along well with Isabel.
[laughing.]
[Hugo Sanchez laughs.]
That's not going to happen! Of course, that's not something that would concern me, right? [chuckles nervously.]
I'm just here to see if I can offer anything to my boss, Mr.
Chava.
But pleased to meet you.
I'm Hugo Sanchez.
- Hugo Sanchez.
- Yes, sir? - Enough, right.
- [knock on door.]
- Excuse me, good morning.
- Yes.
The baby was born.
[baby cries.]
I know, champ.
I understand.
I hope you haven't come to make trouble.
No, not at all, Tio.
How could you think that? No.
Congratulations.
In fact, I've brought you a gift.
I hope you like it.
Um, I'm really here for what she promised us, that is, the DNA test.
- You couldn't wait even 24 hours? - No.
I'm very sorry, but no, Chava.
It'll just take a minute.
Come in, Jazmin, please.
This doesn't hurt at all.
It's very quick, don't worry.
It's completely harmless.
They put in a Q-tip.
It's nothing.
It'll be quicker than you think.
Thank you, Jazmin.
Done.
Um well, we're finished.
Perfect, and Remember, Mary Luz, it's nothing personal.
Honestly.
Congratulations.
Give me a second.
Isabel.
Isabel.
What is it? Don't do this, dude.
It's horrible, come on.
What are you talking about? The lab, the DNA, that test, we don't need it.
Are you crazy? Why can't you feel a bit of empathy for people? She's a widow, she doesn't have anyone.
Why can't you just accept that he's our brother? - What's it to you? - No.
- What's it to you? - No, Chava, come on.
You're so far into this you don't want to know the truth.
No, look, the truth is that baby needs a family.
Why can't you drop your damn obsession with Mary Luz and accept it? What I'll accept are the facts not fiction.
That baby is not Dad.
It won't bring him back.
It doesn't matter how much you want it.
You see? That's why I told you not to get close to her.
That woman is intelligent and manipulative and dangerous, Chava.
Yes, I do want to end this.
Because maybe I can't do anything for the team, but I can do something for this family.
Okay.
Do what you want.
We already know what the result will be.
Hi, good afternoon.
I'm going to need, please, an urgent DNA test for this afternoon.
Thank you.
The results take 48 hours.
Forty-eight hours? Do you personally take it to Switzerland or what? No, I'll go with the competition, thanks.
Well, if you want to go to Queretaro.
There's no competition around here.
God damn it, let's see I'm just asking for it as soon as possible.
You don't understand what this test means to me.
You can't comprehend how important it is to me.
I mean, my whole life depends on that test.
It's my life.
Do you care about my life or what? Do you want the test or not? Okay.
Forty-eight hours? Okay, then.
[sighs.]
[sniffling.]
See you tomorrow, Mr.
Felix.
[Felix.]
See you tomorrow.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I've come for my results.
- Mmm-hmm.
How many DNA tests can there be in Nuevo Toledo? Your results.
I ordered your dinner.
They'll bring it up soon.
I have to go to the office because I'm left with no general manager, and I have to find a new coach for Aitor.
- [sniffling.]
Chava.
- Mmm.
What's wrong? I need you to promise me something.
What? What's wrong? What is it? [exhales.]
I need you to promise me that if something happens to me, you'll take care of Valentin.
You're the only family he has.
Yes.
Where's your family? Why has no one come to see you? No.
No, my family can't have anything to do with Valentin.
Why? Because they can't.
I'll tell you another time.
Now just Now I just need you to promise me that.
Okay? Yes, okay.
Of course I'll be there.
He's my brother, right? [Laughs.]
[whispering.]
Yes.
I have to go to the office.
Want me to stay a bit longer? - [crying.]
Yes.
- Right, okay.
- [baby cooing.]
- Okay.
How lovely.
How can we help you? It's okay, Chava.
- You're sure? - Yes.
How do you do it? I mean, is it men in general, or just the ones named Iglesias? - Open it.
- I don't have to.
[sighs deeply.]
He's an Iglesias.
You won, congratulations.
[laughs.]
Oh, dude.
I knew it.
I'm going to the office.
[squawks.]
[sighs.]
Here's the certificate for 503, baby Valentin.
- Do you want me to take it? - [nurse.]
I will.
Leave it there.
Okay.
DETAILS OF PARENTS OF LIVE BIRTH CONSTANZA SOSA The Real Madrid of the Americas.
What the fuck are you doing here? Oh, sorry, I owe you an apology.
It's like the Holy Grail to me, finding a chair that doesn't hurt my back.
When I see one that's half decent, I have to sit down and try it.
My ex-wife says I'd sit in an electric chair - if it were comfortable.
- Yes.
Look, sorry.
I'm going to call security.
Who are you and who let you in? Eliseo Canales.
The agent.
That's me.
Yes, sir.
It was high time we met, right? How can I help you? You want to create the Real Madrid of the Americas.
I like it.
I like people who think big.
Ambitious.
- Yes - It's complicated, isn't it? I imagine you could have said this by e-mail, so - What do you need? - No.
I want to see the face of the man who I'll make owner of the Real Madrid of the Americas.
Yeah, sure.
It'll cost us, it'll be complicated.
Real Madrid, Madrid, capital of Spain! Nuevo Toledo How could we define Nuevo Toledo? Mmm? With me you can have it.
With you? Look This is very generous, right? Well, I know we've had our small differences, but I'm guessing no worse than with your father, right? I too had a father and I killed him.
[laughs.]
Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor.
- Uh, no kidding.
- No, my father is alive.
He's alive, you can call him.
He's alive.
Really.
Great.
And Yes, but you won't like talking to him.
[laughs.]
Okay, well, listen, going back to your generous proposal, uh I'd like to know, well What do you get out of it? Oh, who cares what I want or what I get? What's important is that you get the glory and fame that turns you on so much.
Look, I'd love to keep listening to you, but I have things to do.
- Do you mind? - Your chair.
Yes.
Mr.
President.
I'd like you to have a wall like that one day.
Chava, I'm not so different from you.
[laughs.]
I understand perfectly what's happened to you this year.
All those doubts, the pressures It's difficult to be captain.
What's wrong? Did I say something? No.
I don't know what you're selling, but we're not interested.
Never say "we," it shows weakness.
- I'm not interested.
- You're not interested.
- I'm not interested.
- You are.
- I'm not interested.
- You are.
- I'm not interested.
- Yes, you are.
And that's why I'm here, to get you interested.
Players, great players, promising, excellent.
And a coach, Fredy Pausini, who you already know.
I understand what happened with Felix Domingo is very serious, and you'll need a general manager.
I have a great prospect.
And that's just this year.
Next year, we build the Real Madrid of the Americas.
Awesome! And all I have to do is keep my arms folded while you're playing puppets with my team and reaping all the benefits.
Well, the alternative isn't better, is it? Okay, thanks very much.
No, I'm not interested.
Are we done? No.
This is my office, I'll ask you to get out of here.
We're not done.
I'm just starting with you, kid.
Let me explain something to you.
I'm the one who sent your best men to the bench.
I'm the one who's had more penalties called against you than in any other season.
I'm the one who's made the press laugh at you for the way you bought Aitor.
And I've sent Moises to Atromitos in Greece.
Ah [laughs.]
He hasn't told you yet? Look you've got me all wrong, dude.
I'm not falling for your Godfather routine.
They all say that and they all regret it.
Do you really think you're still owner of this team? By the way the photos of the party with the hookers.
Was that you, motherfucker? No.
If I'd sent them, no one could have suppressed them.
It was your sister.
She sent them.
If I tell what I know about this team, you won't get to next season.
