- TriviaCarlos Tevez's best friend in the show, the "Uruguayan" Danilo Sánchez, is based on a real person, Darío Coronel. Name and story were changed for respect of the family. The journalist Hugo García said: "He was better than Tévez. He was the best of the seven 6 year old kids from the glorious team, the 84' All Boys, regarded as one of the best teams of the junior leagues. Inside the court, they'd fight, outside they were inseparable." The real Darío Coronel was always a troubled boy, going to play under the influence and sorting children confrontations gun in hand. He joined one of the most dangerous gangs of Fuerte Apache. He had already killed a cop and, finding himself trapped by the police after an attempted robbery, he decided to kill himself before getting imprisoned.
Featured review
Wonderful depiction of Tévez's early life.
I want to start off by mentioning that I am argentinian, a huge Boca fan and I particularly like Carlos Tévez as a person and as a player. So, all of those things naturally inclined me to eagerly watch this series. I've always thought that his life should be turned into a movie, but that would be too short, so it would work out better as a TV series. I was a bit skeptical in regards to the narrative quality and the production values of this effort but as soon as I tuned in, I was pleasantly surprised, since I was watching a high quality product. From the production design, the locations, the script, the actors and the direction, it was all phenomenal. The main cast give a stellar performance, so incredibly believable in each of their parts.
Carlos Tévez had a very rough upbringing in the dangerous streets of Fuerte Apache, one of Buenos Aires' most notorious neighbourhoods due to high crime rates, including theft, murder and drug trafficking. And he somehow managed to dodge those heavy bullets and followed his passion to play football, and specially to play for Boca, the team of his affections. I really hope we get a second season, to show his rise to stardom, and everything in between.
Kudos to Balthazar Murillo (he plays Tévez), Vanesa González (she plays Carlos' aunt, Adriana), Alberto Ajaka (Segundo; Carlos' uncle), Sofía Gala (Fabiana; Carlos' birth mother) and Matías Recalt (Danilo, Carlos' best friend), they all did a magnificent job in their respective roles.
