00:00:19.208 --> 00:00:21.791
I really love playing soccer.

00:00:25.708 --> 00:00:27.041
For me it\'s a passion.

00:00:32.041 --> 00:00:36.666
It helps me stay motivated
and keep doing everything else.

00:00:42.583 --> 00:00:44.500
It\'s both happy and sad.

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:48.166
Sometimes it gives you good moments
and others, bad moments.

00:00:54.041 --> 00:00:57.416
From now to the day I die
I will keep playing soccer.

00:01:03.125 --> 00:01:05.958
I do feel like soccer is my life.

00:01:09.666 --> 00:01:11.500
Soccer rewards you.

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:15.500
If you do it with
dedication and humility,

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:20.250
which is something you must always
preserve, you will do well in soccer.

00:01:25.791 --> 00:01:28.833
I believe soccer gives you
a bit of spiritual peace.

00:01:29.625 --> 00:01:33.625
The ball conciliates
so many different ways

00:01:33.625 --> 00:01:35.541
in which we humans think.

00:01:35.541 --> 00:01:37.666
Soccer unites them in 90 minutes.

00:01:42.166 --> 00:01:44.833
The idea was to bring back
the Neighborhoods Tournament

00:01:44.833 --> 00:01:47.000
that we used to hold in this city.

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.083
The concept evolved and became
a space and an opportunity

00:01:51.083 --> 00:01:53.625
to generate roots,
a sense of belonging

00:01:53.625 --> 00:01:56.416
in the towns of Jalisco
and the state as a whole.

00:01:56.750 --> 00:01:59.750
A tournament, professionally speaking.

00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:03.500
Every local team
from all the different places

00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:05.666
will play against each other

00:02:05.666 --> 00:02:08.500
and there are a total of 125 teams.

00:02:08.500 --> 00:02:10.083
They all play locally.

00:02:10.083 --> 00:02:12.000
I think that historically

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.833
we are the strongest
amateur tournament in the world.

00:02:16.791 --> 00:02:21.625
This evolution of a tournament
which began with amateur teams

00:02:21.625 --> 00:02:24.666
and later became an integral
developmental and social project

00:02:24.666 --> 00:02:29.000
that will generate opportunities
for new generations of Jalisciences

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.166
is no doubt what I believe
defines the Jalisco Cup.

00:02:41.083 --> 00:02:44.166
Net: Games of life

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.708
Corner shot again, do it again.

00:03:08.708 --> 00:03:11.958
Kick it hard, Nico. Kick it hard.

00:03:11.958 --> 00:03:15.791
Get in to score, Kevin.
On that side, Javier.

00:03:15.791 --> 00:03:17.666
On that side, Javier, behind.

00:03:17.666 --> 00:03:20.791
Hands! Do it right.

00:03:20.791 --> 00:03:23.916
Attention, approach Makia.
Approach.

00:03:24.750 --> 00:03:29.083
My name is Emmanuel Fajardo Medina,
better known as Chore.

00:03:29.083 --> 00:03:33.000
I\'m 35 years old
and I\'m a soccer coach.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.458
Chore is a kind person,

00:03:35.458 --> 00:03:38.833
a friendly person, popular
in the municipality of Cihuatlán

00:03:38.833 --> 00:03:44.916
devoted to the athletic development
of children, youths and adults

00:03:44.916 --> 00:03:48.500
throughout the week, the month,

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:52.083
in the municipality
of Cihuatlán, state of Jalisco.

00:03:52.083 --> 00:03:53.791
More than a coach,

00:03:53.791 --> 00:03:56.916
I became like
a personal psychologist to them

00:03:56.916 --> 00:03:59.500
as well as their friend.

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:01.916
There wasn\'t a wall

00:04:01.916 --> 00:04:06.833
between the coach on this side
and players on the other side.

00:04:06.833 --> 00:04:10.500
No. It was all very pleasant,
it was very intertwined,

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:12.041
with all the players.

00:04:12.041 --> 00:04:16.416
It ended up being a brotherhood.
We ended up being something

00:04:16.416 --> 00:04:19.208
where we were neither
coach nor player.

00:04:19.208 --> 00:04:22.500
No, I was more
like their counselor.

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:25.125
I was the person
who advised them what to do

00:04:25.125 --> 00:04:26.958
because I had been through it.

00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:28.125
My name is Roberto Carlos,
they call me Pantera.

00:05:28.125 --> 00:05:32.708
I\'m 26 years old and I\'m
originally from Barra de Navidad.

00:05:32.708 --> 00:05:36.916
I played in the previous Jalisco Cup,

00:05:36.916 --> 00:05:38.500
we were the 2021 champions.

00:05:39.708 --> 00:05:41.416
I work at a hotel.

00:05:41.416 --> 00:05:44.583
I\'m on the maintenance team, or family.

00:05:50.708 --> 00:05:54.500
Basically I think I started
playing when I was five,

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:56.041
as far as I remember.

00:05:56.833 --> 00:05:59.583
I had the urge to play,

00:05:59.583 --> 00:06:02.208
but my dad
didn\'t pay attention to me.

00:06:02.208 --> 00:06:04.958
I insisted, but he never
took me anywhere

00:06:04.958 --> 00:06:07.583
until people started telling him

00:06:07.583 --> 00:06:10.166
that I was a good player,
that he should take me.

00:06:10.166 --> 00:06:12.458
I didn\'t have a uniform
for my first match.

00:06:12.458 --> 00:06:15.916
They bought me some shoes
that cost 160 pesos,

00:06:15.916 --> 00:06:17.958
and came in a bag with handles.

00:06:17.958 --> 00:06:20.708
And I recall clearly
that when I arrived to play

00:06:20.708 --> 00:06:22.666
the match had already started

00:06:22.666 --> 00:06:25.458
and the other
team was incomplete.

00:06:25.458 --> 00:06:28.583
The rival team\'s uniform was blue
just like my shirt.

00:06:28.583 --> 00:06:32.500
My dad\'s friend from the other team
comes up and says,

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:35.500
\"Why don\'t you lend us your son
for our team?\"

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:38.000
Dad said,
\"No, he\'s on team San Felipe!\"

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.541
\"He\'s on San Felipe,
how can I lend him to you?\"

00:06:40.541 --> 00:06:43.125
San Felipe\'s coach said,
\"Go ahead, he\'s new\".

00:06:43.125 --> 00:06:45.125
That\'s how I started playing.

00:06:45.125 --> 00:06:48.083
I debuted and it wasn\'t even
on my local team.

00:06:48.083 --> 00:06:50.208
I started on the other team.

00:06:50.208 --> 00:06:55.000
I believe that from that moment
until the day I die

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.833
I\'m going to play soccer.

00:07:22.958 --> 00:07:25.666
My first experience in sports

00:07:25.666 --> 00:07:28.666
and in soccer specifically
was at the age of six.

00:07:28.666 --> 00:07:33.041
I remember that a team arrived here
in Ciudad Guzmán, it was a Chivas team.

00:07:33.041 --> 00:07:37.541
They offered summer training
and that\'s when I became interested.

00:07:37.541 --> 00:07:40.083
I was very hyperactive
when I was little.

00:07:40.083 --> 00:07:44.000
My parents were always
searching for a place

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.125
where I could blow off
all those emotions.

00:07:47.125 --> 00:07:49.166
I arrived at that Chivas club.

00:07:49.166 --> 00:07:52.833
I began practicing the sport
and I liked it a lot.

00:07:54.166 --> 00:07:56.958
At school, I was in a Catholic school

00:07:56.958 --> 00:07:59.666
and you had to choose a workshop.

00:07:59.666 --> 00:08:02.916
There was dance, soccer,
volleyball, basketball and stuff.

00:08:02.916 --> 00:08:07.000
As I remember, in first grade
they didn\'t accept girls in soccer.

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.666
I was told, \"Soccer isn\'t for girls\".

00:08:09.666 --> 00:08:10.208
I took dance which had
absolutely nothing to do with me.

00:08:10.208 --> 00:08:13.500
I took dance which had
absolutely nothing to do with me.

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:17.416
I mean, I don\'t dance or anything
but there was no other choice.

00:08:17.416 --> 00:08:22.583
Then in second grade I guess
was when I began training.

00:08:22.583 --> 00:08:24.750
I was about seven or eight.

00:08:36.416 --> 00:08:38.166
Run Fer, run Fer, run.

00:08:39.083 --> 00:08:41.500
Take it easy, Fato,
check behind you.

00:08:44.416 --> 00:08:47.750
There was a team here
that was affiliated to Jaguares

00:08:47.750 --> 00:08:49.458
called Morumbi.

00:08:49.833 --> 00:08:52.500
Roberto Da Silva came to Mexico.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:56.125
He\'s like a second father to me,
athletically speaking.

00:08:56.125 --> 00:08:59.666
As soon as he arrived, we were called
to a scouting in Pachuca.

00:08:59.666 --> 00:09:00.958
We were called in.

00:09:00.958 --> 00:09:04.666
By that time I was about twelve,
or about to turn twelve.

00:09:04.666 --> 00:09:06.666
The scouting was on a Monday

00:09:06.666 --> 00:09:10.833
and then they called us to Guadalajara
and I arrived with a mate.

00:09:10.875 --> 00:09:14.791
Other players started arriving
and asking,

00:09:14.791 --> 00:09:17.833
\"Who\'s Pantera?\"

00:09:17.833 --> 00:09:22.000
All the guys who were there
asked me, \"Who\'s Pantera?\"

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:25.166
\"I don\'t know, dude. That\'s not
my nickname, I\'m Carlos.\"

00:09:25.166 --> 00:09:29.166
Everybody was asking who Pantera was
and saying, \"Damn Pantera!

00:09:29.166 --> 00:09:32.500
I think he didn\'t even come
and they\'re pulling our legs.\"

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:35.666
So we started training,
Robert came up

00:09:35.666 --> 00:09:38.166
and gathers the players
in my category and says,

00:09:38.166 --> 00:09:41.583
\"I\'m going to introduce the players.\"
So he starts introducing us,

00:09:41.583 --> 00:09:43.750
and then he introduces me to them

00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:48.000
and says that I\'m Pantera, after
Brazilian player Pantera Donizete.

00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:51.833
\"Shit, so I\'m Pantera?\"
I didn\'t know he was talking about me.

00:09:51.833 --> 00:09:54.583
\"Why didn\'t you tell us?\"
asked the other players.

00:09:54.583 --> 00:09:56.458
I didn\'t know that I was Pantera.

00:09:56.458 --> 00:09:59.708
Very good! Zig-zag there, that\'s it.

00:09:59.708 --> 00:10:04.166
Perfect, good. Go, go, don\'t stop.

00:10:04.750 --> 00:10:08.750
I see Pantera and I see Cecilio,

00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:13.833
and several players whom I coached
play the final match on that field.

00:10:13.833 --> 00:10:17.833
I was watching Roberto Pantera.
He was losing.

00:10:17.833 --> 00:10:21.583
I was in the bleachers
and then suddenly

00:10:21.583 --> 00:10:25.625
I saw him rubbing his eyes
and someone said,

00:10:25.625 --> 00:10:27.500
\"Look at Roberto La Perrita,\"

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:29.750
that was his nickname
when he was little.

00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:32.583
-\"He\'s crying.\"
-\"Of course he\'s crying, he\'s losing.\"

00:10:32.583 --> 00:10:35.875
So then Roberto got the ball
and dodged two or three guys

00:10:35.958 --> 00:10:38.833
and in the end they won
on penalty kicks.

00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:41.833
In through your nose,
out through your mouth.

00:10:41.833 --> 00:10:43.916
Polito, get in place.

00:10:43.916 --> 00:10:46.916
Jaime, get over here with Alejandra.
Come on.

00:10:46.916 --> 00:10:48.875
The townspeople here say

00:10:48.875 --> 00:10:51.916
the former players
of team San Felipe

00:10:51.916 --> 00:10:54.750
say that Roberto\'s dad
was the best foreigner

00:10:54.750 --> 00:10:58.833
that ever came to play here
on team San Felipe.

00:10:58.833 --> 00:11:00.958
They came from Guadalajara,

00:11:00.958 --> 00:11:06.541
but his dad played
five or seven matches a week

00:11:06.541 --> 00:11:09.666
because they hired him
at all the villages.

00:11:09.666 --> 00:11:11.625
So Roberto\'s dad stayed here.

00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:20.666
To me, Roberto is like a son.

00:11:20.666 --> 00:11:24.583
My eldest son, because
my youngest is Max, you know?

00:11:24.583 --> 00:11:28.416
He\'s another kid who had qualities
since he was little.

00:11:28.416 --> 00:11:31.000
He comes from a soccer family.

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.083
His granddad,
better known as el Mocho,

00:11:35.083 --> 00:11:37.666
also played soccer here for years.

00:11:37.666 --> 00:11:40.125
Two of his uncles
who are also my buddies,

00:11:40.125 --> 00:11:42.500
I coached them
since they were little.

00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:44.166
His dad, may he rest in peace,

00:11:44.166 --> 00:11:47.041
also played on Atlas
and University of Guadalajara.

00:11:47.041 --> 00:11:51.666
So for Max in a sense it was like,
\"You\'re meant to play soccer, homie\".

00:12:04.458 --> 00:12:08.958
I grew up in a society
that still discriminated broadly

00:12:08.958 --> 00:12:12.666
or had labels in sports
especially soccer, you know?

00:12:12.666 --> 00:12:15.916
Where only men could play

00:12:15.916 --> 00:12:19.708
and women could only watch
as entertainment.

00:12:19.708 --> 00:12:22.458
When I got out
of that club, the Chivas,

00:12:22.458 --> 00:12:24.750
which was when training camp ended,

00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:29.041
my dad helped me search
for other teams to join

00:12:29.041 --> 00:12:33.625
and he only found one school here
in Ciudad Guzmán that admitted me.

00:12:33.625 --> 00:12:37.458
I remember there were only two girls
on the team and the rest were boys.

00:12:41.916 --> 00:12:45.833
They teased me and one day
I got out crying and told my dad.

00:12:45.833 --> 00:12:48.958
He said, \"You don\'t have to put up
with this, come to my team\".

00:12:48.958 --> 00:12:50.916
Since that day I started

00:12:50.916 --> 00:12:55.500
practicing with my dad
and everything since I was little.

00:12:55.500 --> 00:13:00.666
They said I couldn\'t do it, that
I was too weak to play, too fragile,

00:13:00.666 --> 00:13:03.833
and other stuff,
that I wasn\'t like a boy.

00:13:03.833 --> 00:13:07.166
But I made my own choice
to keep playing.

00:13:07.166 --> 00:13:09.166
I don\'t have to do what you say.

00:13:09.166 --> 00:13:12.625
I prefer doing what I like,
not what you like.

00:13:12.625 --> 00:13:16.208
I own my life,
you don\'t own my life.

00:13:16.208 --> 00:13:20.125
I remember there were clashes
with school parents.

00:13:20.125 --> 00:13:23.458
The boys were bullied a lot.

00:13:23.458 --> 00:13:26.541
If I dodged them
or took the ball from them

00:13:26.541 --> 00:13:28.833
their parents
would put on the pressure.

00:13:28.833 --> 00:13:31.208
\"How could a girl
take the ball away from you?\"

00:13:31.208 --> 00:13:34.666
\"Kick her hard\" or \"You\'re not hitting
her because she\'s a girl\".

00:13:34.666 --> 00:13:36.166
They complained a lot.

00:13:37.625 --> 00:13:40.791
I think I was about seven or eight,

00:13:40.791 --> 00:13:44.958
that\'s when they started putting all
those labels on me, pointing at me.

00:13:44.958 --> 00:13:47.750
They called me names
that were hurtful.

00:13:47.750 --> 00:13:52.708
I was still little, I didn\'t understand
exactly what the words meant,

00:13:52.708 --> 00:13:55.916
but I knew they were insulting me
as a person, you know?

00:13:55.916 --> 00:13:59.750
They called me names
like tomboy, lesbian, dike.

00:13:59.750 --> 00:14:02.791
Very disrespectful words
for the simple fact

00:14:02.791 --> 00:14:06.541
that I was the only girl in school
who played soccer.

00:14:06.541 --> 00:14:09.000
I didn\'t approve. I would say to her,

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.916
\"It\'s a game for boys.\"

00:14:10.916 --> 00:14:14.500
\"You have to look for activities
that are for girls.\"

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:19.500
\"I can take you to ballet,
dance or drama lessons\".

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:20.958
\"No, no, no.\"

00:14:20.958 --> 00:14:25.416
When I realized
that I was attracted to girls

00:14:25.416 --> 00:14:30.875
it was a huge shock to myself.
If I were to tell people

00:14:30.875 --> 00:14:34.833
that I\'m lesbian or pansexual
or that I like girls,

00:14:34.833 --> 00:14:38.750
whatever you wanna call it,
I knew that a part of me would think,

00:14:38.750 --> 00:14:41.708
\"You\'re saying they were right,
you\'re saying

00:14:41.708 --> 00:14:45.625
that because you played soccer
you acquired that preference.\"

00:14:45.625 --> 00:14:51.125
It was like a clash with myself
between what I thought and what I felt

00:14:51.125 --> 00:14:53.625
and what society
was imposing on me.

00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:57.208
When that happened to us
can you imagine the impact?

00:14:57.208 --> 00:15:00.666
It was extremely difficult
to overcome.

00:15:00.666 --> 00:15:03.583
Sometimes you blame yourself,
as a mom I blamed myself.

00:15:03.583 --> 00:15:08.458
\"What did I do wrong? Why?
Why does she have that preference?\"

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.666
\"Is there a reason for it?\"

00:15:11.666 --> 00:15:15.750
I even blamed soccer.
Because she played that sport

00:15:15.750 --> 00:15:19.500
that\'s why she had that preference
was what I thought.

00:15:33.625 --> 00:15:37.166
I never considered having a child,

00:15:37.166 --> 00:15:41.000
and much less at that age, so I said,

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.750
\"What am I gonna do? I\'m 17.\"

00:15:43.750 --> 00:15:48.166
\"I will not have my family\'s support,
it\'s gonna be a hard road.\"

00:15:53.166 --> 00:15:56.750
I don\'t know,
I felt like they pushed me aside.

00:15:56.750 --> 00:15:58.625
They would tell my sister,

00:15:58.625 --> 00:16:02.041
\"You better be careful
so you don\'t end up like Fátima.\"

00:16:08.208 --> 00:16:09.708
Yellow card!

00:16:09.708 --> 00:16:13.000
In spite of that, I stayed in school.

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.666
I never thought of quitting soccer,

00:16:16.666 --> 00:16:20.000
but I was scared about
how I would come out of it

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.708
or if I didn\'t recover
my fitness level

00:16:22.708 --> 00:16:24.791
I wouldn\'t be able to play.

00:16:24.791 --> 00:16:28.000
I mean, this is
the lifestyle that I enjoy.

00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:31.666
The physical demand of the sport,
training, playing.

00:17:08.541 --> 00:17:11.791
My name is
Joanna Roselia Saavedra Macario.

00:17:11.791 --> 00:17:13.250
I live in Ocotlán, Jalisco

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.791
and I play on team Ocotlán.

00:17:18.250 --> 00:17:22.083
My neighbors and people
who know me call me Flea

00:17:22.083 --> 00:17:26.000
because I\'m a fast runner.
Well, perhaps not as fast as before.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.000
But I used to run really fast.

00:17:28.291 --> 00:17:30.291
I used to watch my sister play soccer.

00:17:30.958 --> 00:17:32.958
She\'s six years older than me.

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.833
She played center back,
and she was very good.

00:17:36.833 --> 00:17:40.625
She could kick the ball very hard
and I\'d say,

00:17:40.625 --> 00:17:44.458
-\"I wanna play\".
-\"You\'re too little, you can\'t.\"

00:17:44.458 --> 00:17:47.416
One days she said,
\"I\'ll coach you, come on\",

00:17:47.416 --> 00:17:49.166
and I followed her, all brave.

00:17:49.166 --> 00:17:52.458
There was an empty lot
across the street.

00:17:52.458 --> 00:17:55.083
We improvised two goals.

00:17:55.083 --> 00:17:57.458
\"But you\'re the goalie.\"

00:17:57.458 --> 00:18:03.166
So I got into place and my brother
who is eight years older than me said,

00:18:03.166 --> 00:18:06.166
\"We\'re gonna play hard
so you get tough

00:18:06.166 --> 00:18:10.166
and you can stand up to others
when you play soccer, all right?\"

00:18:10.166 --> 00:18:12.958
They kicked the ball
really hard in my face.

00:18:12.958 --> 00:18:16.500
I started crying and said,
\"I\'m telling Mom\".

00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:19.833
\"No, you can\'t tell her because
she\'ll scold us and spank us.\"

00:18:19.833 --> 00:18:21.708
\"You\'re hitting me too hard.\"

00:18:21.708 --> 00:18:24.750
Yes, they were always tough on me

00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:29.083
maybe so that I\'d become strong
when I grew up.

00:18:29.083 --> 00:18:31.583
Or they could have been mocking me,

00:18:31.583 --> 00:18:34.791
but I rather think
they did it to make Johana strong.

00:18:34.791 --> 00:18:39.083
She walked holding her father\'s hand
all the time, not mine.

00:18:39.083 --> 00:18:42.041
She started playing soccer
when she was a little

00:18:42.041 --> 00:18:44.708
and her dad always went to watch her.

00:18:44.708 --> 00:18:47.958
I\'m not attracted to soccer,
I don\'t like it.

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:53.416
As soon as I got home after school
I\'d go out and play soccer.

00:18:53.416 --> 00:18:57.791
If they told me to be goalie
I jumped on the gravel and they\'d say,

00:18:57.791 --> 00:19:02.833
\"Johana has to be on our team
because Johana scores goals.\"

00:19:02.833 --> 00:19:07.125
I think all I did in my childhood
was play soccer, so I tell my mom,

00:19:07.125 --> 00:19:10.750
\"I played practically my whole life,
of course I\'m going to like it.\"

00:19:11.416 --> 00:19:15.875
I think that when she dies
she might come back to haunt me

00:19:16.916 --> 00:19:20.583
because I never accepted the sport,
not totally, not me.

00:19:20.583 --> 00:19:22.541
I watched my teammates.

00:19:22.541 --> 00:19:25.916
\"My mom came to the match,
my boyfriend, my sister.\"

00:19:25.916 --> 00:19:30.416
When I had a match my mom would say,
\"No, no. I don\'t like soccer.\"

00:19:30.416 --> 00:19:33.750
\"What if you get hurt by the ball,
or whatever?\"

00:19:42.750 --> 00:19:47.166
So when I get to the age

00:19:47.166 --> 00:19:51.166
of about fourteen or fifteen

00:19:51.916 --> 00:19:56.833
my buddies still invited me to play
but that\'s when I started drinking.

00:19:56.833 --> 00:19:58.500
Mi female friend would say,

00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:00.916
\"Let\'s go to El Zapote
and chug some down.\"

00:20:00.916 --> 00:20:06.166
That was when soccer
took a back seat in my life,

00:20:06.166 --> 00:20:09.166
because I started
hanging out with gangs.

00:20:09.166 --> 00:20:13.166
And I guess that was when
my alcoholism started.

00:20:13.166 --> 00:20:15.500
I drank all the time, so my mom said,

00:20:15.500 --> 00:20:18.833
\"You know what? That\'s it.
You don\'t want to go to school.\"

00:20:18.833 --> 00:20:22.666
She took me out of school.
My dad didn\'t know what was going on

00:20:22.666 --> 00:20:26.208
because he was a cop,
he worked all day and night

00:20:26.208 --> 00:20:28.833
and came home
on the following day, exhausted.

00:20:28.833 --> 00:20:32.833
He left at seven the next morning
to do it all over again.

00:20:46.166 --> 00:20:48.875
I heard several loud
gunshots ring out.

00:20:48.875 --> 00:20:53.416
I woke up terrified
and went out on the balcony.

00:20:53.416 --> 00:20:55.125
My mom was running and yelling,

00:20:55.125 --> 00:20:57.833
\"They killed your dad\",
but I couldn\'t see anything.

00:20:57.833 --> 00:21:00.458
\"Where is he,
where did they kill him?\"

00:21:00.458 --> 00:21:03.416
And then I turned to that side,
squatted down

00:21:03.416 --> 00:21:05.125
and saw him in the puddle.

00:21:05.125 --> 00:21:09.583
He was face down,
the puddle was all bloody

00:21:09.583 --> 00:21:12.041
and his body
was riddled with bullets.

00:21:12.041 --> 00:21:15.666
In his forehead, his eyes,
his hands, his feet, everywhere.

00:21:15.666 --> 00:21:17.750
He had bullets everywhere.

00:21:18.166 --> 00:21:21.125
I remember that
I kneeled down to hug him.

00:21:21.125 --> 00:21:24.166
I wanted to pick him up
and bring him inside the house.

00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:28.208
Believe me, it still hurts.

00:21:28.208 --> 00:21:32.791
I said to him, \"Dad, wake up,
wake up. Come on, come on\".

00:21:32.791 --> 00:21:35.833
My mind quickly went into shock

00:21:35.833 --> 00:21:37.875
and I started seeing

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.958
my childhood,
when he took me to the fair,

00:21:41.958 --> 00:21:44.833
when we walked hand in hand.
It was like a dream.

00:21:44.833 --> 00:21:48.125
I think my dad was the person
in whom I confided the most.

00:21:48.125 --> 00:21:50.833
The person who went to see
me play was my dad,

00:21:50.833 --> 00:21:53.875
he was the person
who bought me my balls.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.708
She fell back into alcoholism.

00:22:02.708 --> 00:22:05.083
The boy was six months old.

00:22:05.083 --> 00:22:08.125
She was still in pain
over her father\'s death.

00:22:08.125 --> 00:22:09.541
It was too much to take.

00:22:10.625 --> 00:22:13.166
It was really hard for me,
I wanted to kill myself.

00:22:13.166 --> 00:22:16.666
I saw my dad
and jumped off the stairs.

00:22:16.666 --> 00:22:19.875
I went to the graveyard
with a few beers and said,

00:22:19.875 --> 00:22:22.166
\"Come back, I need you.\"

00:22:28.791 --> 00:22:31.708
\"You\'re going to rehab,
I\'m taking you this instant

00:22:31.708 --> 00:22:34.291
or I\'ll have them pick you up,
one year no visits.\"

00:22:34.916 --> 00:22:36.166
So Johana went away.

00:22:38.125 --> 00:22:40.416
I cried a lot. Yes, I cried a lot.

00:22:41.166 --> 00:22:43.833
The boy stayed with me, I asked,
\"What about your son?\"

00:22:43.833 --> 00:22:47.083
\"Keep him. He\'s yours.\"

00:22:47.083 --> 00:22:49.416
It may sound cruel, right?

00:22:50.166 --> 00:22:53.541
I never gave him back to Johana,
nor did she ask for him.

00:22:53.541 --> 00:22:55.625
She knows the kids are in good hands.

00:22:55.625 --> 00:22:57.916
The children want for nothing,
they have everything.

00:22:57.916 --> 00:23:00.625
Love, affection, food, money.
They have it all.

00:23:01.666 --> 00:23:06.000
My kids aren\'t with me
because I didn\'t tend to them.

00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:08.916
I was in my crazy years
and my mom said,

00:23:08.916 --> 00:23:12.875
\"They\'re mine. You don\'t take care
of them, what do you want them for?\"

00:23:12.875 --> 00:23:15.541
She won over their love and affection.

00:23:19.875 --> 00:23:23.416
Frankly, it wasn\'t easy.
When I arrived at the rehab center

00:23:23.416 --> 00:23:25.833
it was a drastic change
in my life, and I said,

00:23:25.833 --> 00:23:27.625
\"What am I doing here?\"

00:23:27.625 --> 00:23:31.000
I could be in school,
I could be doing what I liked

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.666
which was playing soccer.

00:23:32.666 --> 00:23:34.500
I felt like a prisoner.

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:37.833
She still hasn\'t gotten over
her dad\'s murder,

00:23:37.833 --> 00:23:41.208
but she\'s trying to get ahead.

00:23:41.208 --> 00:23:42.666
\"You\'re over it.\"

00:23:42.666 --> 00:23:45.833
You never get over it,
you just learn to live with it.

00:23:46.708 --> 00:23:49.833
You make yourself strong,
I knew that I had to get ahead.

00:23:49.833 --> 00:23:52.833
I couldn\'t remain
in that sort of depression.

00:23:53.875 --> 00:23:57.541
I think that it\'s like a soccer team.

00:23:57.541 --> 00:24:01.208
I\'ve always thought of
a rehab center in the same way.

00:24:01.208 --> 00:24:03.666
It\'s all team work.

00:24:03.666 --> 00:24:06.500
I think that if you take up a sport,

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:11.416
if you take up zumba, working out,
or going out with your family.

00:24:11.416 --> 00:24:14.166
Living life as it truly is: living.

00:24:14.166 --> 00:24:17.708
As opposed to being dead alive.
It\'s different.

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.916
You\'re a little kid.

00:24:24.958 --> 00:24:26.625
That\'s what you are.

00:24:33.041 --> 00:24:35.625
One two, three, Ocotlán!

00:24:37.208 --> 00:24:41.958
Soccer is lifting me back up,
it\'s pulling me out of my sorrow.

00:24:41.958 --> 00:24:44.000
I train and forget about things.

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:46.083
My teammates,
\"What\'s up, how are you?\"

00:24:46.083 --> 00:24:49.000
They start clowning around
and I join in.

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.083
I can relax for a while.

00:25:07.791 --> 00:25:12.791
I also like the socializing aspect
besides the sport.

00:25:12.791 --> 00:25:15.791
I love playing,
I truly love training and all,

00:25:15.791 --> 00:25:20.666
but it\'s the friendships. Almost all
of my friends came from soccer.

00:25:33.166 --> 00:25:35.166
Once, two, three!

00:25:43.083 --> 00:25:44.375
GO! WE LOVE YOU

00:25:50.916 --> 00:25:52.666
That\'s funny.

00:25:52.666 --> 00:25:55.083
GOOD LUCK!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH

00:26:07.166 --> 00:26:08.708
Goal!

00:26:14.458 --> 00:26:17.000
He was a bit hung over.

00:26:20.875 --> 00:26:22.375
Run, run!

00:26:22.375 --> 00:26:26.791
To one side and then the other,
like wild goats!

00:26:32.750 --> 00:26:35.166
So the opportunity opens up
with the Jalisco Cup.

00:26:35.166 --> 00:26:38.666
I remember a female friend
from that soccer group said,

00:26:38.666 --> 00:26:42.958
\"They\'re scouting for a team,
for a local team.\"

00:26:42.958 --> 00:26:44.500
\"What team?\" I replied.

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:47.500
\"Well, they\'re gonna
have an amateur tournament

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:49.416
including a female league.\"

00:26:49.416 --> 00:26:52.583
When she said that
there was a proper female league,

00:26:52.583 --> 00:26:56.458
I mean they were opening
for females too, I wanted to be there.

00:26:56.458 --> 00:27:00.000
Good! Come out with the ball,
come on, come on.

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:03.125
Well done!

00:27:03.833 --> 00:27:06.500
A lot of women followed our example.

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:08.875
\"If she\'s playing, then so am I.\"

00:27:08.875 --> 00:27:11.916
They organized into teams,
and when we got the news

00:27:11.916 --> 00:27:15.583
that there were over fifty teams,
we were--

00:27:15.583 --> 00:27:17.708
Almost triple the number
in First Division!

00:27:17.708 --> 00:27:22.291
I think that the Jalisco Cup
had a huge social impact on women.

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:25.958
Lupita, she\'s shadowing you!

00:27:25.958 --> 00:27:29.666
It was clear that the level
of the players between First

00:27:29.666 --> 00:27:32.166
and Second Division
improved tremendously, right?

00:27:32.166 --> 00:27:35.875
All these players came out
from their little towns and said,

00:27:35.875 --> 00:27:39.416
\"This is my thing, let\'s go for it!\"
And we built a great team.

00:27:39.416 --> 00:27:42.541
All of them,
there was a huge boom,

00:27:42.541 --> 00:27:44.625
the level was very good.

00:27:44.625 --> 00:27:48.500
How can I describe the improvement
between First and Second Division?

00:27:48.500 --> 00:27:51.541
I think it was
between 60 and 70 percent.

00:27:51.541 --> 00:27:55.875
Before, the scoreboard following a match
was typically 16-0 or 20-0.

00:27:55.875 --> 00:27:59.500
Afterwards it was
like 3-3, 4-4 or 5-3.

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:03.000
I mean, the competition
was a lot closer now.

00:28:16.833 --> 00:28:23.500
I came to the Jalisco Cup,
the first tournament was in 2019.

00:28:23.500 --> 00:28:25.791
I had just arrived.

00:28:25.791 --> 00:28:29.000
I hadn\'t played professionally
for about six months

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.875
due to a health problem,
my stomach.

00:28:32.875 --> 00:28:36.666
It was serious, something difficult.

00:28:36.666 --> 00:28:40.500
I had little expectations,
a great drive but little expectations.

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:42.708
I really wanted to be there

00:28:42.708 --> 00:28:45.625
so I prepared, took care of myself,
listened to the doctors.

00:28:45.625 --> 00:28:49.833
I remember that during the second leg
I went in to play the final match

00:28:49.833 --> 00:28:53.541
against Ocotlán.
No, against Casimiro, sorry.

00:28:53.541 --> 00:28:56.916
I was on the field
for about 15 or 20 minutes.

00:28:56.916 --> 00:29:00.791
Obviously I hadn\'t
trained at all for three months,

00:29:00.791 --> 00:29:04.125
almost four months.
I was making a huge effort,

00:29:04.125 --> 00:29:08.166
but my motivation and drive
to do things right were greater.

00:29:08.166 --> 00:29:11.875
And thanks to that score
we went on to the playoffs.

00:29:11.875 --> 00:29:17.666
And that\'s when the good part
of the story begins, right?

00:29:30.416 --> 00:29:32.541
La Pantera!

00:29:52.541 --> 00:29:53.916
Hell yeah!

00:29:57.583 --> 00:30:00.916
Yes we could! Yes we could!

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.166
For Cihuatlán!

00:30:16.833 --> 00:30:20.041
What was going through your mind
when you made it to the final?

00:30:21.041 --> 00:30:23.458
Well... that idea when...

00:30:24.916 --> 00:30:29.500
We had an expectation
of what the match could be like.

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:33.166
The fact of knowing that
we were playing at Jalisco Stadium

00:30:33.166 --> 00:30:36.125
was already badass in itself.

00:30:36.125 --> 00:30:39.708
Fortunately we went on to the final.

00:30:39.708 --> 00:30:41.833
When I was told that

00:30:41.833 --> 00:30:44.500
we were playing the final match
at Jalisco Stadium

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:46.041
I was like--

00:30:54.750 --> 00:30:58.666
We\'re almost at the stadium.
It\'s still early and it\'s full.

00:30:58.666 --> 00:31:03.833
-It\'s not Chivas nor Atlas playing.
-There are no Chivas or Atlas banners.

00:31:03.833 --> 00:31:06.125
It\'s amateur soccer,
and people are waiting.

00:31:06.125 --> 00:31:08.166
Those are from Chapala.

00:31:08.166 --> 00:31:12.000
From Chapala, Cihuatlán, from
Cabo Corrientes, from Ciudad Guzmán.

00:31:18.666 --> 00:31:21.208
This is an outstanding spectacle

00:31:21.208 --> 00:31:24.958
and we are all gathering here
early in the morning

00:31:24.958 --> 00:31:28.750
to give the quality and respect
that this great team deserves,

00:31:28.750 --> 00:31:33.583
after the harsh training sessions
they subject themselves to

00:31:33.583 --> 00:31:36.000
and with great spirits and respect

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:42.666
and above all, to win the cup,
and that cup is the proud Jalisco Cup.

00:31:42.666 --> 00:31:47.208
Come one come all
from every corner of the state

00:31:47.208 --> 00:31:51.166
to show that this is truly amazing,
ladies and gentlemen!

00:31:51.166 --> 00:31:54.500
Outstanding!
We\'ve come to see this match

00:31:54.500 --> 00:31:57.166
from every corner of the state.

00:31:57.166 --> 00:32:02.500
We are all invited to come in harmony
and enjoy this great match.

00:32:03.875 --> 00:32:06.500
Greetings from Chapala, The Horse.

00:33:06.666 --> 00:33:09.583
Hello everybody,
a very good morning to you.

00:33:09.583 --> 00:33:13.000
Welcome to Jalisco Stadium field

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:17.166
where the women\'s
final match of the Jalisco Cup

00:33:17.166 --> 00:33:19.541
will be disputed this Sunday.

00:33:19.541 --> 00:33:21.500
Everything is ready.

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:24.666
Raymundo González
giving you a cordial welcome

00:33:24.666 --> 00:33:27.791
to the colossus
on Independencia Avenue.

00:33:27.791 --> 00:33:32.166
In a few moments team Zapotlán
el Grande and team Cabo Corrientes

00:33:32.166 --> 00:33:36.208
will start writing their own history.

00:33:37.666 --> 00:33:42.125
When we got there
I felt like I was going to pass out.

00:33:42.125 --> 00:33:45.166
Holy crap, this is it.

00:33:45.166 --> 00:33:51.833
It was as if my interior Susana
or the repression I felt in sports

00:33:51.833 --> 00:33:54.541
came to light and said, \"This is me\".

00:33:54.541 --> 00:33:56.666
\"Enjoy it, live it, feel it.\"

00:33:56.666 --> 00:34:01.458
\"Sweat it, because you struggled
for 26 years to be here.\"

00:34:01.458 --> 00:34:05.166
Then, as soon as I stepped
on that field I said okay,

00:34:05.166 --> 00:34:08.708
I stepped on my dream
and that\'s enough for me.

00:34:08.708 --> 00:34:10.666
Zapotlán el Grande didn\'t lose.

00:34:10.666 --> 00:34:14.541
Ten matches, nine wins,
one tie and the match begins.

00:34:14.541 --> 00:34:17.958
Dylan Sandoval,
the lineups for this game.

00:34:17.958 --> 00:34:21.958
Thank you. The great final match
of the Jalisco Cup has begun...

00:34:30.916 --> 00:34:34.875
Transition, attack, defense.
she sent the ball too far...

00:34:41.666 --> 00:34:42.916
But the danger isn\'t over.

00:34:42.916 --> 00:34:47.083
Now we see Zapotlán
take control of the ball.

00:34:47.083 --> 00:34:49.791
This isn\'t a matter
of opportunity, it\'s...

00:35:04.166 --> 00:35:08.666
I walked out of the locker room and
through the tunnel and looked back.

00:35:08.666 --> 00:35:12.416
I turned back and seeing all those
people from our neighborhoods,

00:35:12.416 --> 00:35:13.833
that was satisfying.

00:35:13.833 --> 00:35:17.833
I saw my family,
I saw the people, I saw the team.

00:35:17.833 --> 00:35:20.708
Everything we achieved,
everything we\'d been through.

00:35:20.708 --> 00:35:24.208
All our sacrifices
were right there with us.

00:35:24.458 --> 00:35:26.500
Let\'s go, Paco. Let the ball roll

00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:29.541
and may we see a good match
and a worthy champion.

00:35:29.541 --> 00:35:31.875
Ladies and gentlemen,
it\'s a pleasure to be here.

00:35:35.625 --> 00:35:38.541
Did you know that
the municipality of Chapala

00:35:38.541 --> 00:35:40.916
is located in the southeast
of the state?

00:35:49.625 --> 00:35:53.583
...in white shirts,
white shorts and blue socks.

00:35:53.583 --> 00:35:57.125
Team Cihuatlán is in the blue shirts.

00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:01.833
Cihuatlán! Cihuatlán!

00:36:06.625 --> 00:36:09.625
Post! Goalie Jorge Preciado
came out too far.

00:36:09.625 --> 00:36:12.541
The ball rolls
and the team from the coast

00:36:12.541 --> 00:36:14.208
continues to control it.

00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:27.458
Roberto Ramírez,
Cihuatlán center forward

00:36:27.458 --> 00:36:30.875
also known as La Pantera,
on this team from Cihuatlán.

00:36:30.875 --> 00:36:34.500
Very good. The ball comes
into the corner of the goal area.

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:36.833
Excellent play, into the penalty area.

00:36:36.833 --> 00:36:40.125
He shoots,
the goalie can\'t stop it, goal!

00:36:43.125 --> 00:36:45.458
Goal!

00:36:53.208 --> 00:36:55.625
For Chapala team.

00:37:07.166 --> 00:37:10.875
The player who\'s shadowing him
in that picture, or the...

00:37:10.875 --> 00:37:14.166
La Pantera comes into the area, shoots,

00:37:14.166 --> 00:37:15.791
goal!

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:28.833
For me, scoring a goal in Jalisco
Stadium is something different,

00:37:28.833 --> 00:37:32.125
it\'s something that fills you,

00:37:34.041 --> 00:37:36.500
you feel fulfilled at that moment,

00:37:36.500 --> 00:37:41.458
for the joy you generate in others.
for the joy you generate in the team,

00:37:41.458 --> 00:37:45.791
for the milestone you are achieving,
for what it means to score a goal.

00:37:45.791 --> 00:37:47.625
For all the people who were there.

00:37:47.625 --> 00:37:52.125
It\'s something that I will tell
my grandchildren someday, my children.

00:37:52.583 --> 00:37:55.125
Cihuatlán can move
to the top of the scoreboard

00:37:55.125 --> 00:37:56.833
for the first time in the match.

00:37:56.833 --> 00:37:59.458
González is ready to shoot.

00:37:59.458 --> 00:38:03.583
The player from team Cihuatlán
gets ready and shoots!

00:38:09.791 --> 00:38:11.583
Goal...

00:38:12.125 --> 00:38:13.750
...for Cihua!

00:38:21.166 --> 00:38:22.458
Cihua!

00:38:28.166 --> 00:38:29.708
It wasn\'t offside.

00:38:29.708 --> 00:38:32.166
I agree, the play came later.

00:38:37.833 --> 00:38:40.500
He went into the bear\'s den,

00:38:40.500 --> 00:38:44.000
player number 15,
goalkeeper Max Barajas.

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:46.500
Now, playing on the ride side.

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:08.583
He already missed one penalty shot.

00:39:08.583 --> 00:39:12.166
It seems that Cihuatlán
has the match under their control.

00:39:12.166 --> 00:39:14.875
Here comes Cihuatlán\'s Pantera
with a great wall.

00:39:14.875 --> 00:39:17.875
He kicks it back to José Rúa
on his left.

00:39:17.875 --> 00:39:21.666
It\'s a slow serve that touches the...

00:39:21.666 --> 00:39:24.875
The referee calls a penalty.
It\'s a definite penalty!

00:39:25.458 --> 00:39:27.541
Penalty!

00:39:39.208 --> 00:39:42.750
The left-footed player is ready.

00:39:42.750 --> 00:39:45.666
It\'s a left-foot shot,
the referee whistles.

00:39:45.666 --> 00:39:47.500
He shoots!

00:39:55.458 --> 00:39:58.458
Jalisco Cup 2021 Champion!

00:39:59.583 --> 00:40:03.916
Cihuatlán defeats Chapala
three to one,

00:40:03.916 --> 00:40:06.916
and they are Jalisco Cup champions!

00:40:06.916 --> 00:40:09.375
Congratulations, Cihuatlán!

00:40:17.958 --> 00:40:20.166
The player who scored the goal.

00:40:20.166 --> 00:40:26.833
Ladies and gentlemen
with you now from Cihuatlán,

00:40:28.083 --> 00:40:31.833
Roberto Carlos Ramírez Calderón!

00:40:41.083 --> 00:40:44.541
From the champion team.
Congratulations, Cihuatlán!

00:40:44.541 --> 00:40:52.083
CHAMPION GOAL SCORER

00:40:52.083 --> 00:40:53.916
2021 CHAMPION TEAM CIHUATLÁN

00:40:53.916 --> 00:40:55.833
A lot of things came to mind.

00:40:55.833 --> 00:40:58.458
How the Cup began,
everything I experienced,

00:40:59.500 --> 00:41:01.833
my family, the fact that I was there.

00:41:04.208 --> 00:41:05.833
Turning to look at them

00:41:07.750 --> 00:41:09.458
and see them hugging.

00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:12.875
Do you have the cleat?

00:41:12.875 --> 00:41:14.458
Yes, I have it at home.

00:41:16.208 --> 00:41:20.291
In fact, every soccer award
I won before

00:41:20.291 --> 00:41:22.666
I gave them away, I gave them away.

00:41:22.666 --> 00:41:25.416
Other champion shoes I gave away,
except that one.

00:41:25.416 --> 00:41:26.750
I kept that one.

00:41:46.625 --> 00:41:51.833
WOMEN\'S TEAM ZAPOTLÁN
LOST THE FINAL MATCH

00:41:51.833 --> 00:41:55.166
AGAINST CABO CORRIENTES 1 - 0

00:41:55.416 --> 00:41:58.500
This was my dream
when I was a six year-old girl.

00:41:58.500 --> 00:42:00.875
I\'m very satisfied with all of you.

00:42:00.875 --> 00:42:04.666
I saw the way you fought
from the very first match.

00:42:04.666 --> 00:42:07.875
Don\'t you forget
that we defeated 52 teams.

00:42:07.875 --> 00:42:10.916
And just as we always congratulated
ourselves for winning

00:42:10.916 --> 00:42:15.208
this is the time to congratulate
the other rival team\'s effort.

00:42:15.208 --> 00:42:17.166
One, two, three, Zapotlán!

00:42:19.708 --> 00:42:24.708
CABO CORRIENTES 2021 CHAMPIONS

00:42:27.166 --> 00:42:33.166
ANOTHER PRIZE FOR THE FINALISTS
OF THE JALISCO CUP

00:42:33.375 --> 00:42:36.750
WAS A TRIP TO MADRID.

00:42:37.416 --> 00:42:39.666
We\'re leaving, we\'re leaving, guys!

00:43:07.458 --> 00:43:13.833
THEY VISITED THE GETAFE SOCCER CLUB

00:43:19.791 --> 00:43:20.583
Thank you.

00:43:27.416 --> 00:43:29.000
WE KICK
SOCCER SPAIN

00:43:58.708 --> 00:44:03.625
THEY ALSO VISITED
ATLETICO DE MADRID\'S PRACTICE

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:51.000
Unfortunately, town council
didn\'t help us with a dime.

00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:54.458
After the final match
we never saw them again.

00:44:55.500 --> 00:44:57.208
They brushed us aside.

00:44:58.041 --> 00:45:00.125
That\'s the dark side of this.

00:45:00.666 --> 00:45:04.833
It\'s kind of frustrating, actually.

00:45:04.833 --> 00:45:10.166
I was upset because we thought
we had earned a lot of things.

00:45:10.166 --> 00:45:15.416
As I see it, if a soccer team
from your municipality

00:45:15.416 --> 00:45:19.000
brings you honor and fame
throughout the state,

00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:23.125
gives you a good reputation
among other municipalities,

00:45:23.125 --> 00:45:25.666
I suppose that the government
of Cihuatlán

00:45:25.666 --> 00:45:28.541
gained considerable benefits
from us being champions,

00:45:28.541 --> 00:45:31.500
from us being an important part
of the tournament.

00:45:31.500 --> 00:45:35.625
All we really wanted
wasn\'t even a reward,

00:45:35.625 --> 00:45:37.541
but we did want their support.

00:45:37.541 --> 00:45:40.041
For them to support us,
that was all.

00:45:40.666 --> 00:45:43.083
When we needed it the most,

00:45:43.083 --> 00:45:47.708
town council
didn\'t give us their support.

00:45:47.708 --> 00:45:51.166
I still have the cup at home
because I said

00:45:51.166 --> 00:45:55.166
I\'d give it to the president
the day he showed his face here.

00:45:55.166 --> 00:45:56.500
I still have it.

00:45:56.500 --> 00:46:00.333
He hasn\'t shown his face
and I don\'t believe he ever will.

00:46:03.833 --> 00:46:08.833
And then in an exhibition game
to raise funds for the trip to Madrid

00:46:08.833 --> 00:46:11.166
there was a serious incident
with La Pantera.

00:46:11.166 --> 00:46:15.000
He fractured the cartilage in his knee

00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:18.791
and from that moment on
he never played again.

00:46:18.791 --> 00:46:20.208
He\'s been declining.

00:46:21.166 --> 00:46:24.041
All he does is work at his job,
he doesn\'t play anymore.

00:46:24.708 --> 00:46:27.875
That was the highest peak
he reached,

00:46:27.875 --> 00:46:30.708
an exhibition game to raise funds.

00:46:36.500 --> 00:46:40.125
Why me? I mean, there were
over twenty guys playing.

00:46:40.125 --> 00:46:44.208
Why after being champion goal scorer
and having that opportunity?

00:46:44.208 --> 00:46:46.791
Maybe nobody else
would have done it,

00:46:46.791 --> 00:46:48.958
maybe that opportunity
was only for me.

00:46:48.958 --> 00:46:52.666
It could have changed everything,
I could have taken my family,

00:46:52.666 --> 00:46:55.166
everything was panning out right.

00:46:55.166 --> 00:46:57.166
Why did I have to go through that?

00:46:59.500 --> 00:47:00.708
It was complicated.

00:47:00.708 --> 00:47:05.166
We went through things were
quite difficult when he was injured.

00:47:05.166 --> 00:47:07.208
He was just starting to get ahead.

00:47:07.208 --> 00:47:12.000
We had agreed that after the Cup
I would stay home

00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:14.666
and take care of our son, and stuff.

00:47:14.666 --> 00:47:18.208
After the Cup
his future looked brighter than ever.

00:47:18.208 --> 00:47:22.166
I quit my job
and he was injured one week later.

00:47:23.166 --> 00:47:25.708
\"What\'s next?\" I asked myself.
What\'s next?

00:47:25.708 --> 00:47:28.125
I saw some doctors about my knee.

00:47:28.125 --> 00:47:30.625
I went to an appointment
in Guadalajara

00:47:30.625 --> 00:47:34.083
and that\'s when they said
my ligament was completely torn.

00:47:44.833 --> 00:47:48.625
I said, \"Things happen for a reason,
they always happen for a reason\".

00:47:48.625 --> 00:47:51.208
And he\'s like, \"But why?\"

00:47:51.208 --> 00:47:55.125
\"After everything was over, I waited
for this with so much excitement

00:47:55.125 --> 00:47:57.041
and I was so happy

00:47:57.041 --> 00:48:01.500
about everything that was going on
around me after the Jalisco Cup

00:48:01.500 --> 00:48:03.916
and suddenly this happens to me
and it\'s over.\"

00:48:03.916 --> 00:48:06.458
That\'s practically what happened.

00:48:06.458 --> 00:48:09.166
People still call him
and say they\'ll wait

00:48:09.166 --> 00:48:12.166
but he\'s missed almost
a year of soccer.

00:48:12.166 --> 00:48:15.916
A whole year where
offers were pouring in

00:48:15.916 --> 00:48:18.500
thanks to people seeing him play.

00:48:18.500 --> 00:48:21.000
They saw how he played on the field.

00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.416
It was extremely
complicated for him.

00:48:24.416 --> 00:48:28.833
Much too complicated, I was with him
and he was always like,

00:48:28.833 --> 00:48:33.500
\"Okay, but why?
Why did this have to happen to me?\"

00:48:34.041 --> 00:48:38.166
Real life awaits. I mean, reality.

00:48:38.166 --> 00:48:43.166
The life you\'ve always lived,
the one where you live day by day.

00:48:43.166 --> 00:48:46.833
What should I do? What do I have to do?

00:48:46.833 --> 00:48:48.875
All these things went through my mind.

00:48:48.875 --> 00:48:53.041
Maybe it had to happen to me.
It was written, that was my future.

00:48:53.041 --> 00:48:55.583
I don\'t know,
a lot of things might happen.

00:48:55.583 --> 00:48:58.958
I know that for him, not playing soccer

00:48:58.958 --> 00:49:01.000
is unbearable.

00:49:21.583 --> 00:49:23.041
Unfortunately we lost.

00:49:23.625 --> 00:49:26.416
The match was very rough.

00:49:26.416 --> 00:49:30.416
But a scout from Guadalajara
saw me play and said,

00:49:30.416 --> 00:49:35.833
\"Listen, I\'m going to be scouting
in two clubs,

00:49:35.833 --> 00:49:37.708
why don\'t you come?\"

00:49:37.708 --> 00:49:39.625
I said, \"Okay, I\'ll come.\"

00:49:39.625 --> 00:49:42.541
I went to the first scouting

00:49:42.541 --> 00:49:47.208
and that went fine,
I spent one and a half weeks there

00:49:47.208 --> 00:49:50.041
but then reality hits you in your face.

00:49:50.041 --> 00:49:53.916
I had a certain visualization, or—

00:49:53.916 --> 00:49:57.833
I had idealized things,
just as any famous soccer player does,

00:49:57.833 --> 00:49:59.625
like a man for example,

00:49:59.625 --> 00:50:02.000
\"I\'m gonna do great,
I\'ll be successful.\"

00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:06.166
But then came this first clash
with reality where they tell me,

00:50:06.166 --> 00:50:08.916
\"Right now what we\'re looking
for in women\'s sports

00:50:08.916 --> 00:50:11.500
is a pretty face, a pretty body,

00:50:11.500 --> 00:50:14.500
and you need to have
your own sustenance

00:50:14.500 --> 00:50:18.000
because we pay two thousand
pesos a month.\"

00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:21.666
\"You would have to pay your
own lodging, food and expenses.\"

00:50:21.666 --> 00:50:24.583
That\'s when I thought to myself,
\"Wait a minute.\"

00:50:24.583 --> 00:50:28.750
\"You\'re telling me that
the mere fact that I\'m a woman

00:50:28.750 --> 00:50:31.541
even if I have the same
abilities as a man,

00:50:31.541 --> 00:50:34.166
just for being a woman
I have less privileges?\"

00:50:34.166 --> 00:50:38.000
I mean, where is your
sportsmanship reasoning?

00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.583
Where is your sports promotion?

00:50:40.583 --> 00:50:43.875
At that point I felt completely
insulted as a person and said,

00:50:43.875 --> 00:50:48.583
\"I can\'t tolerate this. I\'ve worked
my whole life and fought against this.\"

00:50:48.583 --> 00:50:53.833
\"In the name of fulfilling a dream,
I won\'t let my dignity be trampled

00:50:53.833 --> 00:50:55.416
or my rights. No way.\"

00:50:59.708 --> 00:51:03.958
I cried the seven hours I drove home.
I was devastated and said,

00:51:03.958 --> 00:51:08.500
\"I can\'t believe doors shut in my face
just for being a woman.\"

00:51:08.500 --> 00:51:10.625
I don\'t have the same possibilities,

00:51:10.625 --> 00:51:14.916
I don\'t have the same rights
that a male athlete has.

00:51:14.916 --> 00:51:17.500
You have all the talent,
but you\'re a woman.

00:51:17.500 --> 00:51:19.208
Unfortunately, there\'s no support.

00:51:23.833 --> 00:51:26.708
Obviously I said, \"No, thank you\".

00:51:26.708 --> 00:51:29.458
And then I began
resigning myself saying,

00:51:29.458 --> 00:51:32.125
\"I lived it, I experienced it,

00:51:32.125 --> 00:51:34.666
it was like a dash of cold water,

00:51:34.666 --> 00:51:37.166
and I don\'t agree
with what\'s going on.\"

00:51:37.166 --> 00:51:41.666
That\'s when I distanced myself
from professional soccer.

00:51:41.666 --> 00:51:44.500
I said, \"It\'s not my thing\".

00:51:52.666 --> 00:51:55.583
On the subject of Max,
as a person

00:51:55.583 --> 00:51:59.833
he grew up in a family nucleus
that lacked certain things.

00:51:59.833 --> 00:52:02.250
His dad lived in Guadalajara

00:52:02.250 --> 00:52:05.791
and his mom and sisters
lived here in Barra de Navidad.

00:52:05.791 --> 00:52:08.083
I think that affected him negatively.

00:52:12.500 --> 00:52:15.416
After the Cup when we became
champions and everything,

00:52:15.416 --> 00:52:20.833
some people came from Salamanca, Spain,
to scout here in Barra de Navidad.

00:52:20.833 --> 00:52:25.583
I called several players that I had
considered, among them Max, of course.

00:52:25.583 --> 00:52:28.958
\"Max, please come to the scouting.\"

00:52:28.958 --> 00:52:31.916
\"It\'s a third division
that\'s coming to Yahualica,

00:52:31.916 --> 00:52:34.833
but they\'re from a branch
in Salamanca, Spain

00:52:34.833 --> 00:52:36.708
and I know they\'ll pick you.\"

00:52:36.708 --> 00:52:40.833
The bastard didn\'t show up
on the first day so I said,

00:52:40.833 --> 00:52:44.041
\"Hey dude, why didn\'t you go?\"

00:52:44.041 --> 00:52:45.208
\"I was working.\"

00:52:45.208 --> 00:52:49.416
\"Forget your job for now.
Come on, I need them to see you.\"

00:52:49.416 --> 00:52:52.458
So the scout sees him
and the coach sees him

00:52:52.458 --> 00:52:55.625
on the second day and they ask
\"What\'s up with him?\"

00:52:55.625 --> 00:53:00.041
I show them the final match and say,
\"Look, he shot the penalties.\"

00:53:00.041 --> 00:53:04.166
Yes... Cambero calls him Pirruña.

00:53:04.166 --> 00:53:06.750
The player goes into the goal area,
he doesn\'t fall.

00:53:06.750 --> 00:53:09.083
That was an excellent feint!

00:53:10.166 --> 00:53:11.791
\"Yes, he\'s going.\"

00:53:11.791 --> 00:53:14.458
-\"Max, are you going?\"
-\"Yes, I\'m going.\"

00:53:14.458 --> 00:53:19.875
He goes to Yahualica,
closer to his dad in Guadalajara.

00:53:19.875 --> 00:53:22.750
His dad supported him
unconditionally

00:53:22.750 --> 00:53:25.458
after all those years
that he was absent.

00:53:25.458 --> 00:53:28.625
He got time off in Yahualica
which is a 1.5 hour drive,

00:53:28.625 --> 00:53:30.958
and he\'d spend time
with his dad\'s family.

00:53:31.833 --> 00:53:34.833
It was all kickass.
Really stable and everything.

00:53:34.833 --> 00:53:37.041
Unfortunately come December,

00:53:38.500 --> 00:53:40.958
Max\'s dad passes away
from a stroke.

00:53:54.458 --> 00:53:56.666
I lost my dad recently.

00:53:56.666 --> 00:54:01.166
One of my dad\'s dreams
was also to see me play in Spain.

00:54:05.791 --> 00:54:06.833
And so...

00:54:15.416 --> 00:54:18.666
He passed away three days
before Atlas was champion.

00:54:35.750 --> 00:54:38.000
He wanted to come home
and quit soccer.

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.750
He wasn\'t interested anymore

00:54:39.750 --> 00:54:42.500
after the emotional shock
of his dad\'s death.

00:54:42.500 --> 00:54:46.666
After all his childhood
when he didn\'t see him at all,

00:54:46.666 --> 00:54:49.791
his dad came back
into his life as a adult.

00:54:50.666 --> 00:54:54.833
Life gave them six months
to share their time together

00:54:54.833 --> 00:54:58.125
and then his father
had that incident.

00:54:59.666 --> 00:55:02.666
Thy will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven.

00:55:02.666 --> 00:55:05.833
Give us our daily bread,
forgive us our trespasses

00:55:05.833 --> 00:55:08.666
as we forgive those
who trespass against us,

00:55:08.666 --> 00:55:13.083
and lead us not unto temptation
but deliver us from evil, amen.

00:55:13.083 --> 00:55:15.875
Go get it, go get it. Here.

00:55:17.416 --> 00:55:18.541
Let\'s go get them.

00:55:19.833 --> 00:55:23.875
Johana is wearing the captain\'s
armband again, all right?

00:55:23.875 --> 00:55:25.791
Chin up, let\'s go!

00:55:30.541 --> 00:55:32.875
I went to a scouting at Pumas.

00:55:32.875 --> 00:55:36.625
It would be so exciting
to be a professional.

00:55:36.625 --> 00:55:40.125
I did it for my kids,
for them to see me on TV.

00:55:40.125 --> 00:55:44.625
I wanted to be their motivation one day
much like my dad was mine,

00:55:44.625 --> 00:55:48.166
my mom, my sisters, my family.

00:55:48.166 --> 00:55:52.083
I wanted to
be my children\'s motivation.

00:56:07.708 --> 00:56:12.541
I was offered an opportunity
but I had to stay there for six months,

00:56:12.541 --> 00:56:15.666
or move around here for six months
and then go back there.

00:56:15.666 --> 00:56:18.416
I would have had to change
my whole lifestyle.

00:56:19.625 --> 00:56:21.541
Aside from the fact that I had kids

00:56:21.541 --> 00:56:23.833
I had to change everything,
move over there.

00:56:23.833 --> 00:56:26.833
My husband had to stay here,
so I decided,

00:56:26.833 --> 00:56:29.041
\"I\'d rather stay with my family\".

00:56:29.041 --> 00:56:32.500
When you\'re young
and before having children

00:56:32.500 --> 00:56:36.083
or have the possibility
of getting help over there

00:56:36.083 --> 00:56:38.125
but I didn\'t know anyone.

00:56:38.125 --> 00:56:41.583
I was already 27, right now I\'m 31,

00:56:41.583 --> 00:56:44.041
and I was 27 when that happened.

00:56:44.041 --> 00:56:46.708
So, opportunity came too late for me.

00:57:22.666 --> 00:57:25.666
I feel that because of my dad
and fulfilling his expectations

00:57:25.666 --> 00:57:29.083
that\'s why I\'m always
so demanding on myself.

00:57:29.083 --> 00:57:33.166
After I play a great match
they say, \"You played very well\".

00:57:33.166 --> 00:57:36.750
I think I could have done more.
They say I demand too much of myself.

00:57:36.750 --> 00:57:39.875
He knows it too,
that I try really hard.

00:57:39.875 --> 00:57:42.541
Whether it\'s good or not,

00:57:42.541 --> 00:57:47.083
the truth is I put all my effort
into games and practice.

00:57:51.208 --> 00:57:53.916
Once when we went to the Chivas Cup

00:57:55.458 --> 00:57:59.916
we were playing against Monterrey,
against team Monterrey,

00:57:59.916 --> 00:58:04.166
and Fátima started fighting
for the ball with a boy.

00:58:04.166 --> 00:58:07.958
She really came down hard on him.
She made a play

00:58:07.958 --> 00:58:11.416
and the boy fell down.
He was crying and crying.

00:58:11.416 --> 00:58:16.500
Fátima comes up to him and yells,
\"Get up, cry baby!\"

00:58:21.500 --> 00:58:25.166
She was really mad
and I shouted, \"Fátima!\"

00:58:25.166 --> 00:58:27.166
\"He\'s such a cry baby.\"

00:58:27.166 --> 00:58:29.708
Sometimes they expelled me
because of that

00:58:29.708 --> 00:58:34.000
because the boys would call me names
and I would get back at them.

00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.166
In order not to get expelled
or beat up my dad would say,

00:58:37.166 --> 00:58:39.625
\"Get out.\"
And someone else would come in.

00:58:40.416 --> 00:58:43.500
And then I found it so strange
that most of the time

00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:46.791
the referees would come up
and congratulate me after games.

00:58:46.791 --> 00:58:49.750
That made me feel good.
Not for hitting other players,

00:58:49.750 --> 00:58:51.916
I suppose because I played well,
who knows.

00:58:51.916 --> 00:58:53.208
Did you hit them?

00:58:53.208 --> 00:58:55.458
I came down hard on them, that\'s all.

00:59:02.666 --> 00:59:05.041
Tell me dude, is it right or wrong?

00:59:05.041 --> 00:59:08.750
It\'s your team, man, your family.
You let them down.

00:59:08.750 --> 00:59:12.125
We train, don\'t tell me
you don\'t enjoy practicing hard.

00:59:12.125 --> 00:59:14.583
I\'m tired, I\'m all beat up, dude.

00:59:14.583 --> 00:59:17.833
Quite frankly that made me kind of sad
and I said,

00:59:17.833 --> 00:59:19.750
\"At least we put up a fight.\"

00:59:19.750 --> 00:59:23.166
They\'re not better than us, dude.
They\'re not.

00:59:23.166 --> 00:59:25.208
They couldn\'t score a damn goal.

00:59:25.208 --> 00:59:27.833
We lost our heads
and then we lost the match.

00:59:32.458 --> 00:59:34.833
I shared with my teammates, I said,

00:59:34.833 --> 00:59:37.583
\"You know? We have to try hard,

00:59:37.583 --> 00:59:41.666
especially because there are
people who trust you.\"

00:59:41.666 --> 00:59:45.416
They come and yell at you
or you see them sitting there

00:59:45.416 --> 00:59:48.583
and they cheer you on
so you keep playing.

00:59:52.791 --> 00:59:55.958
I noticed that the families
of the other players came

00:59:55.958 --> 00:59:58.958
but when I check the bleachers
I never see mine.

00:59:58.958 --> 01:00:03.833
We\'re facing the toughest teams,
and you are all at their...

01:00:03.833 --> 01:00:07.541
I\'ve told her,
\"You have to earn Mom\'s visits.\"

01:00:07.541 --> 01:00:10.416
It\'s not just let\'s go
and I drop everything.

01:00:10.416 --> 01:00:13.166
No. You have to earn Mom\'s visits.

01:00:13.166 --> 01:00:16.208
Sometimes I avoid arguing with her.

01:00:16.208 --> 01:00:18.666
I think soccer has given me a lot.

01:00:18.666 --> 01:00:21.083
It has taught me a lot of lessons.

01:00:21.083 --> 01:00:25.000
When I\'m sad, I play soccer
and it cheers me up for a while.

01:00:25.000 --> 01:00:27.416
It also brought me out of addiction.

01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:40.583
In all that process I told you about,
the clashes that I experienced,

01:00:40.583 --> 01:00:44.666
about wanting to quit playing
and the frustration I felt,

01:00:44.666 --> 01:00:47.666
when I met her, she\'s the first girl

01:00:47.666 --> 01:00:51.208
quite frankly
my first partner who ever said,

01:00:51.208 --> 01:00:53.916
\"Okay girl, buckle up your pants,

01:00:53.916 --> 01:00:58.000
because if you fought so hard for
so long, you will continue fighting.\"

01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.125
\"Chin up and stop crying,

01:01:00.125 --> 01:01:02.166
or if you\'re gonna cry, cry hard now

01:01:02.166 --> 01:01:04.541
but I want you training
tomorrow at eight.\"

01:01:04.541 --> 01:01:08.166
\"You have to keep fighting
for what you want, don\'t you?\"

01:01:08.166 --> 01:01:09.833
So I believe that

01:01:09.833 --> 01:01:13.791
she came at a crucial moment in my life

01:01:13.791 --> 01:01:15.500
and motivated me.

01:01:15.500 --> 01:01:18.833
She was like a little angel
who came to me and said,

01:01:18.833 --> 01:01:20.875
\"Come on, don\'t give up.\"

01:01:20.875 --> 01:01:23.166
And I hung on, thank God.

01:01:29.666 --> 01:01:32.833
\"You have to go to a psychologist,\"
I told her. I said,

01:01:32.833 --> 01:01:35.791
\"You have to go because
there must be something

01:01:35.791 --> 01:01:42.541
that\'s keeping you from looking at men
for what they are, right?\"

01:01:42.541 --> 01:01:46.958
She went to a psychologist
and I ended up going to a priest,

01:01:46.958 --> 01:01:48.833
talking to a priest,

01:01:48.833 --> 01:01:52.833
and I guess it was the right priest
because he said to me,

01:01:52.833 --> 01:01:57.125
\"Ma\'am, if your daughter is happy
the way she is, let her be happy.\"

01:01:57.833 --> 01:02:01.083
She gave me her blessing,
it was beautiful.

01:02:01.083 --> 01:02:03.166
They accept my partner.

01:02:03.166 --> 01:02:06.875
I mean, they accept me as a woman,
as an individual, as their daughter.

01:02:06.875 --> 01:02:10.583
That has also been
a huge step forward in my life.

01:02:12.500 --> 01:02:17.208
I\'ve seen how she motivates her
in what she does, how she wants it.

01:02:17.208 --> 01:02:19.833
Wherever they walk, they walk together.

01:02:19.833 --> 01:02:22.625
Today I see that they\'re happy.

01:02:22.625 --> 01:02:26.083
Of course as in any relationship,
they argue and make up.

01:02:26.083 --> 01:02:28.916
But they keep walking forward, and yes,

01:02:28.916 --> 01:02:31.083
I see that she\'s happy.
I know she\'s happy.

01:02:31.083 --> 01:02:34.791
I think each of them
always had my back in their own way.

01:02:34.791 --> 01:02:38.083
They never let me down
and I will be forever grateful.

01:02:38.083 --> 01:02:40.541
Man proposes, God disposes.

01:02:40.541 --> 01:02:43.458
We had no choice but to stand by her.

01:02:43.458 --> 01:02:46.750
Not make the same mistake
of other parents: kick them out.

01:02:46.750 --> 01:02:48.416
That\'s the worst you can do.

01:02:48.416 --> 01:02:52.500
I think what I admire the most
is our closeness as a family.

01:02:52.500 --> 01:02:56.708
To be able to share things
and express things

01:02:56.708 --> 01:02:59.708
and search for solutions
as a family.

01:03:11.125 --> 01:03:14.041
2022 JALISCO CUP FINAL MATCH

01:03:14.041 --> 01:03:16.166
Pantera is gone. It\'s over.

01:03:17.541 --> 01:03:21.041
Now I have to erase Pantera
and discover the human being.

01:03:21.041 --> 01:03:23.833
The one who can\'t play soccer,

01:03:23.833 --> 01:03:27.208
who isn\'t meant to play,
isn\'t meant to score goals.

01:03:27.208 --> 01:03:31.250
You are no good for the team anymore,
they don\'t call anymore.

01:03:32.125 --> 01:03:35.000
You come out of that bubble,
so to speak.

01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.833
Without soccer,
what are you going to do?

01:03:37.833 --> 01:03:39.500
You have a family

01:03:39.500 --> 01:03:44.708
and their expenses don\'t stop,
everything goes on, what\'s your role?

01:03:44.708 --> 01:03:48.833
You start to realize that there are
other things that you can do

01:03:48.833 --> 01:03:50.958
besides playing soccer.

01:04:02.833 --> 01:04:05.666
My knee, I hurt it
about 18 months ago.

01:04:05.666 --> 01:04:08.916
It\'s the ligament.

01:04:11.833 --> 01:04:13.875
How have you felt,
who long has it been?

01:04:13.875 --> 01:04:17.416
It\'s been one year and four
or five months, more or less.

01:04:18.666 --> 01:04:20.958
For some time now

01:04:20.958 --> 01:04:23.875
it started hurting more.

01:04:23.875 --> 01:04:25.166
It has?

01:04:25.166 --> 01:04:28.041
Yes, when I walk or stand for a while

01:04:28.041 --> 01:04:32.166
I start to get this pain
from my outer knee

01:04:32.166 --> 01:04:34.166
all the way to my buttocks.

01:04:34.166 --> 01:04:37.166
-Like it\'s radiating, correct?
-Exactly.

01:04:37.166 --> 01:04:39.708
Have you played any other sport?

01:04:39.708 --> 01:04:41.916
-No, nothing at all.
-Because of the pain?

01:04:41.916 --> 01:04:43.083
Nothing at all.

01:04:43.083 --> 01:04:46.916
Well, your condition requires surgery.

01:04:46.916 --> 01:04:48.416
Yes, all right.

01:04:48.416 --> 01:04:53.458
You will have to have surgery
about one month from now.

01:04:53.458 --> 01:04:55.750
Before and after the surgery

01:04:55.750 --> 01:04:59.833
we will continue
your physical rehabilitation, okay?

01:04:59.833 --> 01:05:04.125
This program would begin with us
and last for one month.

01:05:04.125 --> 01:05:08.083
Then the surgery,
and probably two months after that.

01:05:08.083 --> 01:05:10.166
-Rehabilitation.
-Exactly.

01:05:35.583 --> 01:05:39.666
I\'m not in the moment or situation
where I want to be.

01:05:40.708 --> 01:05:43.541
Far from it, I think. I\'m far from it,

01:05:43.541 --> 01:05:46.541
but my family
has always been there for me.

01:05:46.541 --> 01:05:50.958
That\'s what I mean
when family keeps coming up.

01:05:51.916 --> 01:05:54.041
They\'re always there, again and again.

01:05:54.041 --> 01:05:57.958
I believe that for a person
to be successful in life

01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:03.625
they must have a good relationship
with their family. That is...

01:06:05.791 --> 01:06:07.083
It\'s best.

01:06:20.458 --> 01:06:25.625
\"Mom, I want to come home,
Mom, I just want to come home.\"

01:06:25.625 --> 01:06:27.458
So I\'d talk to him,

01:06:27.458 --> 01:06:30.916
\"Listen son,
you\'re doing well over there.\"

01:06:30.916 --> 01:06:33.416
\"What are you going to do here?\"

01:06:33.416 --> 01:06:36.666
\"There\'s no future here
in what you\'re doing.\"

01:06:36.666 --> 01:06:42.041
\"Chore, help me, Max is saying
that he wants to come home.\"

01:06:42.041 --> 01:06:45.125
\"I don\'t get it,
he\'s doing great. Help me.\"

01:06:45.166 --> 01:06:48.000
\"Don\'t worry, Adriana.
I\'ll talk to him.\"

01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.666
So I spoke to the coach,
told him what\'s going on.

01:06:51.666 --> 01:06:56.583
\"You\'re closer to him.
Christian, Morita, help me out here.\"

01:06:56.583 --> 01:06:58.458
\"Sure Coach, sure thing, Chore.\"

01:07:26.791 --> 01:07:29.958
They embraced him, had talks with him,

01:07:29.958 --> 01:07:33.833
and eventually he regained
the stability he needed.

01:07:33.833 --> 01:07:35.750
And then he told me,

01:07:35.750 --> 01:07:38.791
\"Don\'t worry, Adriana. It\'s all good.\"

01:07:41.791 --> 01:07:44.791
I\'ve learned to appreciate what I have,

01:07:44.791 --> 01:07:47.791
because you never know
when you might lose it suddenly.

01:07:48.875 --> 01:07:54.458
And it\'s true, we have to appreciate
what life gives us.

01:08:02.875 --> 01:08:04.583
Max gets stable again,

01:08:04.583 --> 01:08:07.833
and then I talked
to the coaches in Yahualica.

01:08:07.833 --> 01:08:11.666
They gave me the excellent news
that God willing

01:08:11.666 --> 01:08:16.458
in June Max will be transferred to
second division in Salamanca, Spain.

01:08:17.166 --> 01:08:20.041
Go and continue working.

01:08:20.041 --> 01:08:24.083
After we return, you should be
the reference and the image of this.

01:08:24.083 --> 01:08:27.416
You all will be the spearhead
of what we\'re doing.

01:08:27.416 --> 01:08:31.208
If you\'re strong here, the rest
is a given. Be strong here, get it?

01:08:31.208 --> 01:08:33.791
Great success, young men.

01:08:33.791 --> 01:08:35.708
Give it all you\'ve got.

01:08:43.791 --> 01:08:46.000
Well, a lot of feelings.

01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:50.500
Joy, sorrow, anger, everything.
All those emotions.

01:08:51.416 --> 01:08:55.166
Especially because
I\'ll be far from home.

01:08:58.000 --> 01:09:01.708
I like the idea of him going away,

01:09:01.708 --> 01:09:03.500
but on the other hand

01:09:03.500 --> 01:09:06.875
I don\'t like the idea
that he won\'t be here.

01:09:09.833 --> 01:09:12.750
I hardly see them now,
it\'ll be worse once I\'m in Europe.

01:09:12.750 --> 01:09:14.416
When am I gonna see them?

01:09:17.541 --> 01:09:21.208
That\'s the hardest thing a player
has to sacrifice, I think.

01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:34.791
Take care. May the Lord bless you,
look after you and protect you.

01:09:37.666 --> 01:09:41.833
All right, Max. Let\'s go
before you miss your flight, son.

01:09:49.916 --> 01:09:56.125
I only hope that all my father\'s
hard work when he was alive

01:09:57.416 --> 01:09:58.916
was worth it.

01:10:01.166 --> 01:10:05.458
AIRPORT

01:10:46.625 --> 01:10:50.958
You know? I can\'t change people\'s
mentality as a soccer player,

01:10:50.958 --> 01:10:53.833
but I can do it if I\'m a teacher.

01:10:53.833 --> 01:10:57.500
That\'s when I decided
to go back to teaching and said,

01:10:57.500 --> 01:11:02.791
\"I don\'t want my future students

01:11:02.791 --> 01:11:06.666
or future sports players
or whatever they decide to do in life

01:11:06.666 --> 01:11:09.583
to have to go through
the same issues I did.\"

01:11:09.583 --> 01:11:12.708
To have to pick between two things.

01:11:12.708 --> 01:11:15.875
I don\'t think it\'s fair.
They said to me, for example,

01:11:15.875 --> 01:11:18.708
\"Teacher, I don\'t like to do sports.\"

01:11:18.708 --> 01:11:19.875
\"Why not?\"

01:11:19.875 --> 01:11:23.916
\"At home they say that since I\'m a girl
I can\'t play sports.\"

01:11:23.916 --> 01:11:25.666
-\"Do you like it?\"
-\"Yes.\"

01:11:25.666 --> 01:11:27.875
\"Come on, let\'s do sports.\"

01:11:27.875 --> 01:11:32.500
When I whistle you have to run,
put down the handkerchief,

01:11:32.500 --> 01:11:36.666
come back, high-five your teammate,
and then it\'s their turn.

01:11:36.666 --> 01:11:39.833
Sometimes I play soccer
with them at recess

01:11:39.833 --> 01:11:42.708
and I can tell the girls
want to play but are too shy.

01:11:42.708 --> 01:11:44.416
\"Come on, let\'s play co-ed.\"

01:11:44.416 --> 01:11:47.666
And the boys are open to them.
\"Yeah, let\'s play.\"

01:11:47.666 --> 01:11:50.041
Or I\'ll say,
\"Only girls\' goals count\"

01:11:50.041 --> 01:11:53.416
to integrate them with the boys
and then the boys tell them,

01:11:53.416 --> 01:11:56.000
\"Come on, shoot hard\",
and cheer them on.

01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.000
It\'s nice to see
how mentalities are changing

01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:00.833
from one generation to the next.

01:12:00.833 --> 01:12:02.666
What happens then?

01:12:02.666 --> 01:12:06.666
Women begin delving
into this sports field

01:12:06.666 --> 01:12:09.791
and exercising
authority and participation.

01:12:09.791 --> 01:12:14.000
Unfortunately, as in many other fields,
sports isn\'t the exception.

01:12:14.000 --> 01:12:19.375
Women begin experiencing
a high number of cases

01:12:19.375 --> 01:12:23.083
of harassment
and sexual abuse or bullying.

01:12:23.083 --> 01:12:26.666
Why? For the simple reason
of being females.

01:12:26.666 --> 01:12:29.958
If one day you feel attacked,
or discriminated against,

01:12:29.958 --> 01:12:32.833
or if you feel threatened,
I can listen to you.

01:12:32.833 --> 01:12:36.208
I assure you that I will go out
and raise my voice alongside yours.

01:12:36.208 --> 01:12:38.000
Why? Because back in the day

01:12:38.000 --> 01:12:41.000
I would\'ve liked
for someone to have my back

01:12:41.000 --> 01:12:43.416
just like I\'m open to having yours.

01:12:43.416 --> 01:12:45.791
I think that for them
it\'s more meaningful

01:12:45.791 --> 01:12:49.166
when it\'s coming from their teacher\'s
personal experience.

01:12:49.166 --> 01:12:52.083
My focus or my vision, my next dream

01:12:52.083 --> 01:12:58.875
is to transmit these experiences
to the youths who are my students today

01:12:58.875 --> 01:13:02.791
and make them see
that society has to change

01:13:02.791 --> 01:13:04.000
no matter what.

01:13:29.250 --> 01:13:32.041
During the last match
I was kneeling down

01:13:32.041 --> 01:13:34.916
starting to bless myself
and said to my dad,

01:13:34.916 --> 01:13:36.500
\"Pops, we\'re alone again.\"

01:13:36.500 --> 01:13:39.208
\"Just give me strength
and energy so I don\'t tire.\"

01:13:39.208 --> 01:13:42.833
\"Tough, nobody came again,
it\'s just you and me today.\"

01:13:42.833 --> 01:13:44.833
\"I know your spirit is with me,

01:13:44.833 --> 01:13:47.666
and that you will bless me
during this match.\"

01:13:47.666 --> 01:13:50.833
I looked up at the sky
and heard, \"Joan na.\"

01:13:50.833 --> 01:13:53.708
I turned and my eyes filled with tears.

01:13:58.666 --> 01:14:01.625
She saw me and the kids
in the bleachers.

01:14:01.625 --> 01:14:06.000
Tears rolled down her cheeks,
she wiped them off with her jersey

01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:08.500
and turned up to the sky as if saying,

01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:10.958
\"Thank you, Dad, my mom came to watch.\"

01:14:10.958 --> 01:14:12.166
\"Joanna, Joanna!\"

01:14:12.166 --> 01:14:15.833
I wanted to walk over to them
but the referee whistled.

01:14:18.041 --> 01:14:19.750
\"They came to see me play.\"

01:14:19.750 --> 01:14:23.500
It was a huge motivation for me
seeing my mom sitting there

01:14:23.500 --> 01:14:24.750
and then she told me,

01:14:24.750 --> 01:14:27.166
\"I yelled, \'Run, Joanna, run\'.\"

01:14:27.166 --> 01:14:32.083
Then I ran, passed the ball
and the play ended up in a goal.

01:14:34.583 --> 01:14:37.708
I remember seeing my son there,
he was so excited.

01:14:37.708 --> 01:14:41.083
There\'s photograph of me
about to kick the ball

01:14:41.083 --> 01:14:44.083
and my son is in the background,
so excited.

01:14:44.083 --> 01:14:46.000
I was so happy.

01:14:46.000 --> 01:14:49.666
I think it was one of the best
days in my life.

01:14:55.666 --> 01:14:59.208
What my mom did motivated me,

01:14:59.208 --> 01:15:01.958
the support she showed me,
I used to say,

01:15:01.958 --> 01:15:05.041
\"How many years will pass
before she sees me play?\"

01:15:20.166 --> 01:15:26.041
The goal, scored by Roberto Ramírez,
number 9,

01:15:26.041 --> 01:15:28.791
of team Cihuatlán.

01:15:30.833 --> 01:15:33.791
Soccer is something I love
and will love forever.

01:15:34.833 --> 01:15:38.833
But I\'m badass, I\'m intelligent
and I can do a shitload of things

01:15:38.833 --> 01:15:41.958
that I may not have noticed
if I hadn\'t been injured.

01:15:41.958 --> 01:15:47.416
I guess that instead of saying
that it was a bad thing,

01:15:47.416 --> 01:15:50.166
I think that what happened to me
was a good thing.

01:15:50.166 --> 01:15:55.166
I know and I\'m positive and confident

01:15:55.166 --> 01:15:58.958
that Roberto is going to recover.

01:15:58.958 --> 01:16:01.291
He\'s going to get up,
he\'ll have surgery,

01:16:01.291 --> 01:16:03.958
and I will always be there for him.

01:16:04.708 --> 01:16:08.125
Jersey number 15, Maximiliano, Maxi.

01:16:08.125 --> 01:16:11.500
At some point in my life I dream
of playing in a World Cup.

01:16:12.375 --> 01:16:14.125
Representing Mexico.

01:16:14.125 --> 01:16:16.791
It\'s a huge dream
to represent one\'s country.

01:16:24.875 --> 01:16:28.000
I believe that if you truly
give your best to soccer

01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:31.083
and you have the support
of your parents or someone,

01:16:31.083 --> 01:16:36.041
it is something that can be a very
beautiful lifestyle, like a dream.

01:16:42.458 --> 01:16:46.041
I have so much to thank soccer for,
for everything it taught me,

01:16:46.041 --> 01:16:49.125
for everything it added
to my personal life,

01:16:49.125 --> 01:16:51.500
so let\'s enjoy the ride, right?

01:16:54.500 --> 01:16:58.500
My players, the word says it all.
They are mine.

01:17:01.666 --> 01:17:04.125
I look at them with pride,

01:17:04.125 --> 01:17:07.833
I see them as an example
of bettering oneself,

01:17:07.833 --> 01:17:11.875
because starting from nothing
we achieved so much.

01:17:28.625 --> 01:17:32.375
