Unable to get in touch with her parents, she has no option but to spend the semester trying to embrace the sport, while making new friends — and, also, enemies. “Deixa Ela” (Globoplay) “Deixa Ela” (Globoplay) Publicity Available on Globoplay, the documentary series “Deixa Ela”, which was shown on GNT, brings the story of female players, journalists, referees and coaches on sexism in football. In the testimonies, they tell about those moments when they suffered some kind of prejudice and also how they overcame these difficult situations. “Come with them” (Globoplay) “Come with them” (Globoplay) Press Release SporTV’s documentary “Come with them” provides an overview of the transformation of women’s football in Brazil since the 1991 World Cup.

With six episodes, it tells a little about the backstage of the Australian women’s football team during its journey to the current Cup, which is happening now in their country.

But the look of this production is a little different and goes beyond. She reports, in the first person, the struggle of the American women’s national team to achieve equal pay with the players of the United States national team.

In the testimonials, the athletes shared their stories of courage and resilience as they ran in search of their fourth world championship victory. Megan Rapinoe is one of the athletes who participated in this documentary. “Futebol em Apuros” (Netflix) “Futebol em Apuros” (Netflix) Release Megan Rapinoe is also the star of the animation “Futebol em Apuros”. The athlete, who announced earlier this month that she will retire after the 2023 season, is turned into a drawing. But she also does the voice acting for the character. The film tells the story of four soccer superfans who unite to help their idols recover their talent stolen by a mad scientist. Semana Pop selects 11 films and series about football “Pelé: the birth of a legend” (GLOBOPLAY) Scene from ‘Pelé – the birth of a legend’ Publicity Works about or inspired by Pelé are not rare. And the drama “Pelé: the birth of a legend” is one of them. Released in 2016, the film tells the well-known story of the player, who, since he was a little boy, still in the floodplain fields, demonstrated immense skill with the ball. The feature, which features Seu Jorge in the role of Pelé’s father, shows the difficulties faced by the young athlete, the overcoming of all of them, and highlights the player’s call-up for his first World Cup for the national team, in 1958, when Brazil brought its first cup home. “Maradona: Conquest of a Dream” (PRIME VIDEO) Nazareno Casero in a scene from ‘Maradona: Conquest of a Dream’ Publicity “Maradona: Conquest of a Dream” tells the story of the Argentine idol. The film not only portrays the story of one of football’s biggest stars on the field, but also addresses the personal issues of Diego Armando Maradona. The player’s debut in Argentine football and his remarkable passages through Barcelona and Napoli are mixed with scenes that describe his family problems and his struggle with addictions. Maradona’s feats in the Argentina national team, of course, are also there. The series was released in 2021, months after the Argentine idol’s death at age 60, and features three actors cast to live Maradona at three different times in his life. “Heleno” (GLOBOPLAY) Heleno’s film will be screened this Tuesday (16) at Sesc Thermas in Presidente Prudente Press Release Still talking about biopics, “Heleno” tells the story of player Heleno de Freitas. Played by Rodrigo Santoro in the feature, Heleno was considered the prince of Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s. But he was also called the problem star, because of his explosive temperament and bohemian lifestyle. He was a bad boy at the time, like Romário or Edmundo. Heleno was released in 2011 at the Toronto Film Festival and is based on the book “Nunca There Was a Man Like Heleno”, by Marcos Eduardo Neves. “The Last Game” (GLOBOPLAY) Scene from the movie “The Last Game” Publicity The rivalry between Brazil and Argentina is always a good source of inspiration for productions. And it is featured in “The Last Game”. The classic duel is represented by the clash between the teams from the cities Belezura and Guapa, which are on the border between the two countries. And losing, of course, is not an option for either team. In addition to preparations for the decisive game, Belezura also has to face another challenge: the closure of a large local factory. Released in 2021, the feature is based on a Chilean novel. “A team show of the ball” (GLOBOPLAY) Scene from ‘A team show of the ball’ Press Release We go from the rivalry between two cities to the clash between two boys in a table football match (also known as nerd or pebolim). In the animation by award-winning Argentine filmmaker Juan José Campanella (from “The Secret in Their Eyes”), Amadeo meets an old rival years after winning a match in the game. And the magic of football takes the field in this animation. Amadeo’s geek figures come to life and help the boy in the challenge of a match on the field. Also at stake is something he doesn’t want to happen: the transformation of the city into a theme park. “(fdp)” (HBO MAX) Scene from the series “(fdp)” Disclosure The series “(fdp)” takes the focus away from the players, the teams on the field, and addresses the story of a football referee. One of the creators of the series is the writer and sports journalist José Roberto Torero. With 13 episodes, the series shows a judge in a marriage crisis, but also takes into account, with irony, ethical rules and the price of choosing the right path. In one of the episodes, for example, he has to sweat his shirt while refereeing a game in which the legal director of one of the teams is the same judge who is deciding his case in the family court. Your child’s custody ends at stake. “Febre de bola” (HBO MAX) Scene from the movie “Febre de bola” Press Release The romantic comedy “Febre de bola” tells the story of a love triangle involving a football fanatic man, a woman who hates everything related to the sport and (yes) a football team, Arsenal, a kind of Botafogo in England. The relationship between the couple develops over the course of the English league season. “Febre de Bola” is inspired by the homonymous book by Nick Hornby, author of “High Fidelity” and “A Great Boy”. Book and film are classics for those who like football and pop culture. “Captain Tsubasa” (PRIME VIDEO) scene from “Captain Tsubasa” Press Release Speaking of pop culture, this one is for anyone who, in addition to being a football fan, also enjoys animation. “Captain Tsubasa” is an adaptation of the anime “Super Champions” and tells the story of Captain Tsubasa Oozora. The 50+ episodes of the manga series released in 2018 detail not only Tsubasa’s relationship with his teammates, but also the rivalry with his opponents, every training session and, of course, the team’s games. “The English Game” (NETFLIX) “The English Game” Disclosure/Netflix “The English Game” is a series released in 2020 in which football on the pitch is just a backdrop to trace the entire story of the birth of this sport. It’s a short series, with six episodes of about 50 minutes each. It takes place in the 1870s and tells the story of two players from opposite social classes, who face personal and professional dramas to change the history of football forever. If you want to understand what football was like in the very beginning, when it was new, this miniseries is worth watching. “Ted Lasso” (APPLE TV) ‘Ted Lasso’ Publicity And we end this list with a series that also has a huge crowd that cheers when the team takes the field each season: “Ted Lasso”. Ted was an American football coach and who, even without experience, receives an invitation to command a professional field football team (which Americans call soccer). The invitation is for a team in the biggest league in the world, the English League. The series is cute, fun, with a coach who is kind of a daddy of the players (like Felipão), and has already taken home eleven Emmy trophies. The charm of the series is that it, of course, goes beyond the field, and touches on subjects like mental health, friendship and romance.
