The world of football moves passions and as time goes by it does so more powerful and intense throughout the world. And is that many children dream of playing, when they are older, in the major European leagues that concentrate most of the profitable football that can be seen on the planet.
The documentary, directed by Hernan zin, produced by Contramedia Films and sold to Spanish Television that aired on September 25, 2013, shows the conditions in which children live in many populations in Latin America and struggling to achieve a dream. In the video you can see that glory can be achieved even though there are thousands of boys who stay on the road. The documentary presents in a close and close way the realities of these children participating in their experiences and dreams. It is also performed rigorously offering an honest narrative. And he is very daring because he puts the focus on the current reality that football demands, at least in Spain, every day.
Although the documentary can be embedded in the page of Peques and Más however it seems to me that it demands to go to the Spanish Television page for its reproduction.
Recently we also commented on this page the publication of the book Soccer players which explains how the obsession of families is to turn the child into a footballer and sell it, through rights, from a very young age. I think this documentary suits the book very well because it complements it and encourages us to reflect on how football has become a powerful industry that needs to feed and yet it seems that it is never enough.
And if we all take out the coach that we have inside, we are sure that we are asking for a different player for our team, that head shot, that enters from the left, that does not play with the changed leg, that goes well in the throws from afar , stop and stop, etc.
Imagine the pressure that it can involve trying to respond to these needs when you are between 9 or 12 years old. Well, that's what you can see in this documentary of I want to be Messi!
And again we remember that these children are accustomed since childhood to fight and demand more to push themselves, reach the European continent and surely glory. Until another child comes next season ...
