The title of this article is taken from the words of a domestic football player Zeng Cheng in an interview. His Weibo profile was simply four words "fall to the ground, stand up", which was used to summarize today's movie, and also very suitable

As a fan who once lived in Newcastle, it is of course selfish to like this movie

The protagonist Santiago Munez, who has a talent for football, is like thousands of Mexican immigrants in the United States, trying their best to make a living. For Santi, football is only a small adjustment after life.

By chance, Santi was spotted by the kind-hearted scout Roy, determined to take the risk and go to England to try out, to participate in the trial training at Newcastle

Although this movie was released in 2005, but in today's corrupt country, the urban renewal is very slow. For a long time, this movie can be used as a promotional film for the city of Newcastle.

The following screenshot is taken in Tynemouth, the mouth of the Tyne River, not far from Newcastle (an hour by subway), and the Tynemouth Castle Abbey in the distance (the historical and cultural heritage of the country) and the Tyne River port. visible

Like many inspirational movies, the road to realizing dreams is always full of twists and turns, and our Santi is no exception. In the rainy weather, I fell into the mud again and again

Fortunately, there are always noble people in life, kindness and hard work have brought rewards to Santi

I even got the chance to meet the big names

In that year, Qi Xuanzong still couldn't do it

In the end, Santi waited until his moment

Newcastle with Alan Shearer and Kluivert relied on Santi's pass and shot to defeat the Red Army Liverpool with Gerrard, Baros and other stars. Fans), making Newcastle overtake Liverpool in points and get a ticket to the Champions League next season. St James' Stadium, where Santi's name and his story are left behind

Many boys who like football have a football dream when they were young. Few like the protagonist Santiago finally realize their dreams. From this point of view, the protagonist is also happy.

In addition to the inspirational story of the protagonist, the film is through the team coach, "big" star Gavin Harris,

Scout Roy, and even the clip of Schiller himself in the training room, underscores the professionalism a player should have from different angles. The attentiveness of these details also directly made the first part of Yiqiang famous to throw off the next two by a few grades.

In addition to sparing no effort to portray British football culture, the soundtrack of the film is also full of British style. Among them, there are only 3 works of Oasis in the episode. Maybe Oasis will also wonder how I, a Manchester City fan, became the background of the Newcastle promotional film (of course, it is purely a joke)

Before I went to Newcastle, I watched this movie over and over again and again. For a completely unfamiliar city, I also learned about it through this movie and believed that it'll be fine

I hope the epidemic will end soon and I can return to this city again

Routine Easter Eggs:

The actor who plays Harris with the male partner has also acted in works such as "Red Sea Diving Club" and "Changing Face"
