Who is the famous target?

Becoming famous with one goal does not set a real player as a prototype. Some scenes and situations in the film do have the shadow of a real game, such as "riding a thousand miles", but the story itself is pure fiction.

One Ball Became Famous is a film directed by Danny Cannon, which was released in 2005 and starred Kuno Becker, Stephen Dillane and anna friel.

Introduction:

Santiago Mooney (Kuno Becker) is a football teenager who grew up in rural Mexico. His dream of becoming a professional player was outlined in his childhood.

One night, my father hurriedly boarded a truck with his family and ran to the border to get rid of poverty with the American dream. Although Santiago lost his beloved football when crossing the barbed wire, it opened the curtain for his dream to come true in the future.

Suddenly, the San Diego family has settled in Los Angeles. In addition to working in a Chinese restaurant, San Diego and his father's construction team cleaned the courtyard in Fumen Building, and he was also obsessed with football. His vigorous posture often appeared in street football fields.

One day, in the crowd cheering for Santiago, there was a strange face. His name is Glen (Stephen Dillane), and he used to be a capable player in Newcastle, a Premier League powerhouse, and then he worked as a scout. Glen was convinced that Santiago would become a football superstar in the future and decided to introduce him to a football agent. Unexpectedly, the lofty agent broke his word, and San Diego was overjoyed.

Before returning to China, Glen contacted a former boss, the manager of Newcastle, and after repeated entreaties, he agreed to interview in England.

Santiago has been secretly hiding his savings in the leather boots of the wardrobe, and the toll was paid immediately, but his father traded it for a new car, because his father was firmly opposed to his son's football ambition and hoped that he could develop his family business together. San Diego, who thought his dream was shattered, was pleasantly surprised to find that his grandmother had sold all her possessions and prepared air tickets and boat tickets for him to go to England. Soon, San Diego met Glenn in England.

The two met with the team owner at Newcastle headquarters. In the pouring rain, Santiago put on his jersey and joined the competition. Nervous emotions, slippery mud and the collision of football made the young player play abnormally and the fate of premature death was inevitable. Glenn, who refused to give up, once again found the team owner and fought for a probation period of 1 month for San Diego. In a physical examination, San Diego meets team doctor Hamison (anna friel), and they both have a good impression on each other.

During the day-to-day training, the team owner gradually learned about Santiago's skills. In the face of Santiago, who is qualified but always leads the ball, he repeatedly stressed that football is not a performance by one person, but teamwork. Before a game, San Diego's throat spray was crushed by a hostile teammate every time. He was out of breath and didn't perform well on the court, so the team owner showed a red card again.

It turns out that San Diego has been hiding that he has asthma, and he can't participate in the competition without asthma spray. Desperate, Santiago is ready to embark on a journey home, but he meets Gavin (alessandro nivola), a big-name star of the team who is late for an affair. With Gavin's help, the owner of the team who learned the truth promised to accept Santiago again and provide him with treatment.

San Diego finally signed with Newcastle and soon became the main force of the team. He began to appear in the Premier League, and his superb skills conquered countless fans. This lowly Mexican immigrant often appears with Gavin in the dissolute life of the upper class. His life is experiencing an unprecedented impact, his mood will face a severe test, and his football career has just begun.

Judging from the above plot, the characters in the film are all fictional. However, on the other hand, the film also reflects the growth path of a large number of South American stars. Some children who play football in narrow alleys in order to live a good life really go out of poor families, out of South America, and come to the five major leagues in Europe until they become world stars.
