- Come on! Come on!

- I can't! I'm stuck!

Help!

No, Thiago.

No! Thiago!

Please!

- So we stole the peanuts

to buy football boots.

But if I hadn't said we needed

the stupid boots

Thiago wouldn't have died.

It's all my fault, mae.

I killed him.

I killed him.

- It's okay, Dico.

You didn't know.

- I'm gonna be good now, mae.

I'm gonna study

and do good in school.

I promise.

- Shh! Okay.

"Waldemar de Brito,

football scout."

I think it's time

he'll work with you

in the clinic after school.

- No!

That thing.

Just do this.

Yes.

- Bloopers!

Yuck!

- You know, when I was a kid

I had a mango tree

just like that.

I taught myself

how to practice with the fruit.

Green for shooting.

Ripe for finesse.

- Yuri! Yuri! Yuri, here!

- Es culpa.

Es culpa.

Ugh!

- 12 is to 4 as..

- Nice and soft.

Okay?

Whoa! Soft.

Let's do it again.

Again.

Whoa!

Whoa.

That's it.

Acalme. It's okay. Breathe.

Don't try so hard.

Just enjoy yourself.

Everything else will come.

Hey!

Yes!

Yeah.

That's it.

Try that one.

Good.

Now this one.

- It's way too high.

- Do what comes natural to you.

That's alright.

It'll come.

- No one can kick that

high except with the header.

- No, not a header.

With your feet.

- Tomorrow, I'll just

head something.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Dico!

- Dico.

This is Mr. Waldemar de Brito.

- How would you like to try out

for the Santos Football Group?

- Thank you, mae. Thank you.

- You've had enough, Maria.

Go help your brother

try on his new pants.

- Okay. All set.

- What's wrong, Dico?

- I don't think

I can do this, Maria.

Maybe I should just say no.

- How'd you get the cake?

- An advance

from Senhora Altafina.

How'd you acquire the pants?

- I took an advance

for the cleaning.

- But mae bought you a cake.

- Yeah, they're giving up

a lot for this, aren't they?

You're right.

We have to be strong

for them now.

- He's only 15, Dondinho.

He's never even left Bauru.

- Tchan tchan tchan tchan!

- Zoca.

I'll be back before

you know it, okay?

- It's time to go.

- I love you guys. Be good.

- Go on, meu filho.

You go make us proud.

- Stay safe, meu filho!

- Welcome to Santos!

Each of you will be evaluated

based on your execution

of proper form and discipline!

Number 1 and number 2.

There's no magic

in football, boys!

Whatever primitive style

you played at home, forget it!

Here, you'll learn to master

the techniques

of the best teams in Europe!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

That's exactly

the kind of monkey business

I'm talking about!

Ball on the ground!

Ball on the ground, boys!

- Okay, okay!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Okay, okay, okay,

back off, boys! Back off.

This is the list
