- Hey, Pele, stop this shot!

- Senhor Jose,

I'm sorry for my son.

- Me? But he just...

- Shh, Dico.

Shut your mouth.

I won't bring him again.

- Hmm.

- "Copa da juventude

de Bauru."

- A tournament?

Are you crazy?

You promised mae

you'd be shining shoes!

- Na! Zoca!

- Maybe he's right, Dico.

What if your mom finds out?

- Hey, come on.

Let's show these snobby

riquinhos how we play.

- Fine, but I'm out.

I don't want mae to kill me.

I'm innocent!

- Come on, let's do this!

- Welcome to Round 1

of the Bauru Youth Club.

- Sign up here.

- To me. I'm open!

- Why does it go so far?

- It's full of air!

- Vai, Dico, vai!

- Goal! 1-0.

- Vai, Dico, vai!

- That's the match.

And on Field Number 1,

The Kings also advanced

to the second round.

- Kings!

- Sorry, they don't match.

The only thing I had

were my mom's bed sheets.

- Wait. You knit these?

- Well, sewed technically.

- Hey, your sewing

is pretty good, Yuri.

- Yeah, I use a double hem.

- A little more.

- I guess I could

take this out a bit.

- Vai!

Shirts make me feel

all trapped inside!

- Goal!

- A goal on Field Number 2.

- Everyone's over there

watching the Kings.

- And final seconds now

on Field Number 1.

- Goal! And there's

the final whistle!

The Kings win 8-0.

Come back tomorrow

for the finals

where the Kings will

take on Team Number 7.

- Hey, They are called

"The Shoeless Ones!"

- We need football boots.

- Boots? How're we gonna

pay for boots?

- I got an idea.

- Go!

Hurry! Hurry!

Throw it, under the fence!

Thiago!

- Go, Thiago!

- Ladies and gentlemen!

Toasted! Salted!

Packed with vitamins!

Today's special!

Buy two get a free shine!

- Free shoe shines!

Free shoe shines!

Who wants a shine?

- Ladies and gentlemen,

step right up!

Fresh from the Amazon!

Step right up!

- Peanuts! Peanuts!

Peanuts here.

- Wow, he scrubs floors

and shines shoes!

Hey, Pele, how much for a shine?

- Don't call me that.

- Or what?

- Or you've got problems.

- Who? Fatty and his sister?

- Hey, Yuri is not a girl.

- Then why is he knitting,

4 eyes?

- Sewing technically.

- Throw it away.

- Now..

How much for a shine, Pele?

- Your teacher did this to you?

- Uh-huh.

Is this true, Zoca?

How dare she?

You and me are gonna have a word

with that woman tomorrow

after school!

- Tomorrow? No, I can't!

Uh, I mean, you have work.

- Celeste...

Let me talk to his teacher.

You go to work.

You know..

...when I was your age,

I used to get in fights.

Especially when the older boys

called me names.

But with time, I learned,

a good player knows

that fighting comes

from insecurity.

The point is, Dico

if you wanna play professionally
