When Santiago came to St. James' Park for the first time, it was the first climax of the film. There was a huge crowd and no special effects, but it brought real shock to football fans. Watching football on TV is from the perspective of TV broadcast, and the film's all-round portrayal makes people feel as if they are in the stadium. Can't help but remember this picture. I once watched the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League live. When the stadium was full of fans shouting, only those who deeply love this sport would understand that kind of emotion.
Newcastle is in the northeast of England, across the North Sea from Norway. When the sea breeze brings the waves of the North Sea, smashes on the dam, and runs with the drizzle, this perspective can indeed arouse people's infinite yearning for Britain.
However, there are still some things that are not handled well in this film. Many famous players don't drink alcohol, and San Diego, who just debuted, hangs out with Jiawen Tiantian Bar. Although it is timely to pull back from the precipice, it is also a negative teaching material for the football world. Santiago is of Mexican descent, and the Premier League has almost no Mexican nationality, let alone an amateur player without youth training. If you were born in Brazil, you are talented but also have the hard work of the people at the bottom. Isn't it closer to reality?
However, as a football film, this film is indeed of high quality. Beckham, Zidane, Raul, Gerrard, and Alan Shearer have appeared one after another. They belong to the last decade. It's no exaggeration to say that this movie pays homage to them.
"It doesn't matter what your name is on the back of your jersey, what matters is what's on your chest."
