"I can't single out one good moment in this stadium, one good experience with Boca, because I've had many." "If I had to choose one, it would be the first when I was 11 years old." "I was on that goal when..." "I can see it right now." "Boca's second goal, Mastrangelo's." "I can see it now." "Just like that..." "My love for Boca is like when you fall in love for the first time." "You fall in love and..." "When you really fall in love with something you won't leave it for anything." "No borders can keep you apart." "Nothing can." "My love for Boca is so great that I believe no one could make me do anything that wasn't good for Boca." "Maradona's important to me because he's my idol." "I love him a lot as a person... as a player and..." "I love him for everything." "Ladies and gentlemen, the super-derby is about to kick off at the Bombonera Stadium!" "Boca will come out all guns blazing and River will play 4-4-2." "Blue and gold!" "The passion of the Boca fans!" "I'm on the list." "You fucking bastard!" "You fucking bastard!" "For me... it's the greatest thing in the world." "I get up in the morning, I get in my little car and I go to the stadium to watch the training." "Is it a closed training session?" " Good morning, Auntie." " How are you, darling?" "Hello, Auntie." "How are you, Auntie?" "Let's see what's going on here." "Let's see if these colts are ready for Sunday." " Pocho's moving back and forth..." " Yeah, Pocho's the wild card." "Just watching them train well, seeing that they have no injuries or anything, all that makes me feel good." "Every day is different." " Hi, Auntie." " How are you, son?" "Is everything all right?" "They're all my friends." "They all say "Hi, Auntie!" All those kids do." "But it isn't just the players." "Everyone in the La Boca district calls me Auntie." "No one knows me by my real name." "I made a mess." "I'm a bit of an idiot!" "I'm a sports journalist and I work on Boca's official website." "I write articles and I'm in charge of updating statistics and obituaries on the site." "The user can find out about each Boca player, how many minutes he's played in the championship, how many goals he's scored, how many yellow cards, how often he was substituted." "I also prepare pre-match statistics such as the history between Boca and its next opponent, as well as statistics on the referee." "I remember lots of statistics, but not all." "That's impossible." "But I have quite a good memory." "I laughed like crazy from beginning to end." "I knew it was a good movie." "But I never rented it." "You probably can't get it now." " Pardon?" " I don't think you can get it." " It's an old movie." " An old movie, from 1982." "I remember I saw it at night on 7 March 1982 because that day Boca beat River 5-1 at River's stadium." "You work from Monday to Friday just waiting for Saturday or Sunday to go to the stadium." "All your problems fade away." "Family problems, money problems, problems with your girlfriend..." "For those 90 minutes in the stadium, you forget everything!" "I was very young when I started being a Maradona fan." "My dad took me to a match and that's when I first saw him." "From that moment I was in love with Diego." "I started following him everywhere, and still do." "The ball comes to Maradona..." "Maradona moves, here it comes..." "What a bastard!" "Of course, with this hand..." "He came out of a slum and reached the top." "If he has to fight the most powerful politicians, he'll take them on." "In Argentina, the poor and humble love him a lot." "I want to meet Diego." "It's a dream I've had all my life." "What do I love about Boca?" "Boca's stadium?" "No, the stadium is just Boca's stadium." "The Boca players?" "No, they're just the players." "The jersey?" "No, that's just a jersey, a symbol." "Just like the coat-of-arms or the flag." "Where's Boca, then?" "What do I love so much, with such passion and desperation?" "It's something I can't explain." "The love I feel is so great..." "I feel very deep love for Boca." "It's as if they were my children." "All of them are like my children." "All the Boca players are humble kids." "They don't believe they're above anybody." "They don't think they're better." "You won't hear Palermo putting on airs, he just won't." "I'm not the kind of fan who grumbles about a player because he doesn't play well in one or two matches." "I'd never do that to a Boca player." "Never!" "I play football with my friends close to my home." "We're having fun, like Diego." "I'd like to have a son to take him to the field to play football and show him videos of Diego." "I grew up in this area so I support the local club, but I also like Boca." "I've liked them since I was little because of their colours and passion." " What about your dad?" " No, Dad doesn't like football." " Really?" " Mum's a Boca fan." " Your mum?" " Yeah..." " And all my grandparents go for Boca." " In my house too..." " Your brother..." " My whole family." "No, there's always one." " What about you?" " Like my old man." " Dad..." " And your mum?" " Her too." "They all support Boca." " All of them?" " And supporting Diego?" " My dad started it." "I took my son when we lost to Tucuman." " Have you met Maradona, Pablo?" " No." "But there's a strong connection because I'm a fanatic." "But does he know who you are?" " I don't know." " Did you ever write to him?" "Did you ever try to call him?" " No, but..." " So, is that enough for you?" " Well, a little more..." " Would be better!" " Maybe an autograph." " We got this far, why not more?" "I don't care what they say." "I don't care what anyone says." "I follow you everywhere." "Every day I love you more!" "Boca, my good friend, this season we'll be with you again." "We'll support you with all our hearts." "We're the fans who want to see you champions!" "Come on!" "Sometimes I pray so they won't get injured or sick... and to give them luck." "I pray a lot when there's a match on." "And I always ask God to help them." "Save that penalty kick..." "Please, please!" "You missed!" "Fuck you!" "You fucking bastard!" "You fucking bastard!" "Go and fuck yourself!" "You fucking bastard..." "Go Boca!" "Go Boca!" " It's nice, isn't it?" " Pardon?" " It's a beautiful day." " Yes, it is." "A little windy, but nice." "At least, it isn't that cold." "We have to pray to him..." "Give him a kiss." "So he can make them win in the second half." "I want him to make them win it in the second half." "To give them a hell of a scare in the second half." "Those bums can't play at all and they come trying to win the title from us." "Bunch of dickheads." "Those fucking bastards." "You fucking cunts!" "Go and fuck yourselves!" "Keep washing your hands, you fucking bastards!" "You keep washing your hands..." "Fuck you!" "Go, Rodrigo!" "What a goal!" "From 40 metres!" "Go, Boca, go!" "Go, Boca, go!" "Palermo!" "Palermo!" "Palermo..." "Go, Boca!" "It's Hernan." "Pardon?" "All right." "Hello..." " Come in, please." " Thank you." "When I was a kid, I thought that this would go away when I grew up," "I mean this crazy passion for Boca!" " But..." " Why did you think it would go away?" "Maybe because I saw adults as more quiet and rational." " Really?" " Generally speaking." "I thought I'd also be more quiet and rational." "I'd still support Boca... but in a more moderate and normal way." "So you think what you feel for Boca isn't normal?" " It's not normal." " It isn't?" " No, it isn't normal." " Why not?" "Because..." "It's not that too many things in my life revolve around Boca, but everything revolves around Boca!" " Everything?" " Practically everything." "I want to know what I'm loving, to see it." "Why do you need that?" "Isn't it enough for you to just love it?" "Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't." "What happens when it isn't enough?" "Let's see..." "Good question." "On the one hand I feel like a fool." "I wonder "Why do I need so much?"" "But on the other hand..." "I feel empty inside." "And what does..." "Do you have a partner?" "Yes, I do, but she isn't the mother of my daughter." "Because I'm divorced too." "My family goes from one divorce to the next!" "We're all divorced, but I'll never divorce Boca!" "See?" "That's it!" "That's it!" " You're married to Boca." " Absolutely." "You're more married to Boca than to any other woman." " Absolutely." " Let's put it like that." "Yes, absolutely." "Well, you've found the woman of your life!" "Is it a woman?" "Boca's feminine in Spanish, isn't it?" " I think it's sexless." " Sexless?" "Is that good or bad?" " It's good." " It's great!" "Yes, it goes beyond that." "It's much more than that." "In the name of La Tota, of Don Diego, and the fruit of their love..." "Diego!" "Diego!" "In the Maradonian church all the fans of Diego get together and, as D10S said in his testimonial game," ""honour Diego and good football."" "Understand the symbolism of these icons..." "This ball is just a symbol of Diego's sacrifice on the humble football field where He started." "The crown of thorns is the original field where Diego sacrificed Himself." "He said "I made mistakes and paid the price." ""But the ball will not be tarnished!"" "The first commandment is "The ball shall not be tarnished"" "as Diego said in His testimonial game." "Then "Spread Diego's miracles across the universe."" "And "Acclaim Diego and good football."" "I think everyone feels the same way I feel." "We all love Him, we want to see Him well and happy." "He didn't harm anybody, He just played football." "He's the greatest." "He's more important to me than my family." "He's more important than me." "Diego's the greatest!" "That's all I can say." "All rise, please!" "A big round of applause for the kids!" "You have come here, brothers and sisters, so that the God of Football can bless your love before the Maradona congregation." "The Maradonian Church will bless you and give you the strength to be faithful to each other and to fulfil your marriage vows." "Adrian, do you take Olivia to be your lawful wedded wife?" " Yes..." " Yes, what?" "Yes, I do." "The Lord who gave you this love for football and its magic confirms this mutual consent before the Maradonian Church." "Exchange rings..." "You may kiss the bride." "Let no man separate what the God of Football has joined forever." "Ole, ole, ole, ole!" "Diego, Diego!" "Maradona is the greatest," "He is greater than Pele!" "If you don't jump, you're an Englishman!" "You can see, you can see..." "You are like Mary, the Lord's mother," "The one who gave life to a chosen one," "One that the world is now missing." "You know that every Sunday, religiously," "We anxiously await a miracle from God," "To once more see the greatest, His son Diego," "Giving us the gift of a goal!" "Why do you want your ashes scattered behind the Boca goal?" "I don't know why." "I thought of it one day." "And later I saw that they'd started doing it." "I saw a man at the stadium carrying a small box." "I asked him what it was." ""Do you have a present for a player or something?"" ""No" he said. "These are my mother's ashes."" ""Your mother's?" I asked. "But why?"" "He said "She was a Boca supporter" ""and she always asked us to scatter her ashes behind the goal."" "There's no issue for the Church, but I guess it's up to the Board." " I know it's being done." "Many..." " Secretly, Father." " Secretly?" " Yes, Father." " I thought..." " It's done secretly." " I've seen it." " Me too." " I stepped on them." " I see." "Let's see..." "I don't think there are any problems for the Church." " If it's possible, great." "If not..." " Right." "Like all human beings, we'll return to the earth as we deserve to go..." " Exactly." " But I'd like to do it!" " I'll ask." "I've nothing to lose." " Don't give up." " Of course not." " Absolutely." "So that's your wish." " God willing, it will be done." " I hope so." " You have to be aware..." " Wait, Father." " I'm not thinking of dying yet!" " I'm glad to hear it." "I still have a few..." "I'm saying this just in case." "But let's not start the countdown now because I'd have to shoot myself!" "Let's hope that the Board presiding when you pass away, hopefully in a very long time..." " There's only one God in heaven." " Exactly." " No player has His qualities." " Exactly." "Come on, faggot, get up!" "You fucking shit!" "Martin Palermo had two major cruciate ligament knee operations." "He has the kind of willpower that can move mountains." "That's why he deserves the respect of the entire world." "I love him." "He's my idol." "To be honest, I love them all... but to me, Martin's the greatest." "He's the best footballer of them all." "First aid!" "Palermo!" "Palermo!" "Palermo..." " How do you feel?" " I'm fine." "Was the Palermo goal allowed?" " I'm fine." "Don't worry about me." " Stand up straight." "She's fine." "I'll call you if I feel bad." "I can call from up there." "With all the country's troubles, the only joy comes from football." "You run out of money by the end of the month and things like that." "Football is the only thing that makes you forget." "It's fanaticism, and I don't have that." "So it's hard to explain." "It's a sort of passion." "I can't explain it because I'm not a fanatic about anything." "I don't follow or adore anyone, I don't have posters, flags... any of that." "It's personal, it comes from within." "Pablo's liked it since he was little." "Some women love football." "They go to see Boca every Sunday or they follow Maradona, but not me." "I don't know..." "I'm not attracted to it." "Palermo hasn't come out yet." " Thanks, Auntie." " Just take one!" "You're the prettiest!" "Here, have a lolly." "Isn't a small car just as good?" "Buy yourself a Fiat 500!" "What's the matter with you?" "Why are you making a racket?" "Wind the window down." " Who is he?" " Wind the window down." " What's up, Auntie?" " I just saw Julio." "I told the bastard to buy himself a Fiat 500." "Give a lolly to your friend." "Have one!" "Are you playing, Fatso?" " You want an interview with Palermo?" " An autograph." "An autograph and a greeting..." "Keep the ball, keep the ball..." "Fuck you!" "You fucking cunt!" "Hold him there, hold him there..." " Not that way." " Give it to the goalie." "Let him smash it!" "Not to the wing, fuck you!" " Hello." " How are you?" " Fine, and you?" " Fine." "Good." " Did you get here all right?" " Sure." " Okay?" " Yes..." "Tell me how you feel when Boca loses." "It's painful." "It's painful." "I feel..." "When anyone scores against Boca" "I feel I'm being stabbed in the back." " It's an acute pain..." " Why in the back if it's fair play?" "Yes, but to score against Boca is like a cosmic betrayal!" "And who's the betrayer?" "The betrayer is whoever scores against Boca." " Right, whoever he might be." " Whoever he might be!" "Which team hurts you the most when they score against Boca?" " Undoubtedly River." " Ah, the derby..." " Yes." " If the universe belonged to Boca..." "There'd be no rivals, no matches, no football, and no Boca." " So?" " We need some of those rivals." " Then long live River!" "Right?" " That's going a little far." " You didn't like that one." " Not too much." " There was no winner." " You couldn't beat us at home." " But there was no winner." " No..." "You wanted to beat us to save the season." " You too, but you drew." " No, not us." "Right, Miri?" " Of course!" " We took a point, they dropped two." "If they'd beaten Boca..." "Listen, if they'd beaten Boca they would have saved their season." "Just by saying "We beat Boca."" " When is Palermo's birthday?" " Next month, on the 7th." " I bought him underwear." " Did you really buy him briefs?" "No!" "I didn't buy briefs, they're boxers." " Same thing..." " A pair of imported boxers!" "How can you buy him undies?" "After I give them to him I'll tell him I want to see how they fit!" " No!" " Is it wrong buying him underwear?" " It's not good to get him undies." " But these are imported!" "So if they're imported, it's fine!" "What is it with you?" "Are you jealous?" "Jealous?" "No way!" "Jealous of what?" "I don't know what you're thinking, Miriam." "If someone gave my husband underwear" "I'd think all kind of things, wouldn't I?" "What's wrong with me giving Martin undies?" "Nothing at all!" "It's fine." "I don't care if you win, I don't care if you lose..." "Come on , the 12th player's supporting you!" "We're all crazy and no one can stop us." "Thanks to Diego, I'm a supporter of the greatest club in the world." "Boca draws the biggest crowds here in Argentina and elsewhere." "You see Boca jerseys all over the world." "That's why we're considered the biggest club in the world." "We have the most loyal supporters on the planet." "Hi, Fatso." "How are you?" "I'm calling you about the church, you know..." "Diego's birthday." "We could do it at my house." "We could celebrate it here." "We could celebrate his birthday among us." "We're in the year 49, because God was born 49 years ago." "And every year we celebrate our Christmas." "Watch it, up there!" "We almost hit the flowers." "Hold it, hold it." "Careful!" "It looks great." "Listen..." " Palermo's waiting, we've arranged..." " Did you talk to the boss?" "Then wait there." "Yes, in the shade." "Serve me a little..." "To Diego!" "To his birth..." "I don't know which dark-skinned angel visited Fiorito." "He joined the informal kick-about matches and stayed until dark with the sleeping left - legged angel, becoming one with the kid gifted with outrageous magic." "That wandering angel with unearthly power in his blood turned him into a master by mixing restraint with fire." "From the start, the sunshine of his joy illuminated the green surrounding his play." "He was the Hand of God and the South American demon who scattered Englishmen." "With subtle tricks, with long wavy hair, or with short hair, his mystery was the same." "His magic wasn't a fantasy." "He humiliated the rich North with outrageous audacity." "He unmasked the hypocrite big shots of football." "He cried as only those who give it all can." "And as happens to all Christs of clay, he was hanged and nailed to his surrendering cross." "They didn't forgive his origins, his pride, nor his natural gift to move the masses." " Is it Martin?" " Over there." " Auntie!" " Hello, Martin." " How are you, darling?" " Fine, and you?" " Good." " Fine?" " You look great!" " You too." "See?" "I'm pretty today." " For me?" " This is for you." " Well..." " Don't open it till Saturday." " Saturday?" "All right." " Please..." "Then I want you to show me how it looks." "Will you?" " Saturday." " Promise?" " Yes, sure." " A man's word!" " Auntie..." " See you on Saturday, love." " We'll see it then?" " Sure." " Bye, Auntie." " Bye, son." "We'll support you with all our hearts." "We're the fans who want to see you champions." "I don't care what they say." "I don't care what the others say." "I'll follow you everywhere." "Each time I love you more!" "What will happen in Uruguay?" "Will it be a battle?" "I don't think it'll be a battle." "It's going to be a derby." "A derby... and it's going to be tough." "to play well and take the three points." "Mum!" "I'm going to Uruguay to support Maradona so we can win and qualify for the World Cup." "The chances of getting a glimpse of him are small." "He'll be busy with the national team." "Diego, don't leave!" "Diego, don't leave!" "Why do you want to ask yourself that question?" "Why is it important?" "I think I'm an addict, and an addiction isn't healthy." "So I feel guilty because I'm addicted." "At the same time, I've no intention of being cured." "That's why this is complicated." "What's a normal passion?" "Like my father's, for example." "My old man's a fanatical supporter of Boca." "But his life doesn't revolve around Boca." " I don't..." " Boca is in your blood." "Sure." "It's always been like that." " You had a transfusion at birth." " That's it." "It's the way it is." "It's all I know." "I don't know what any alternative would be like." "And I'm certain this will be with me until I die." "It's been my entire life." "If it isn't part of your life, you'll die." "If Boca isn't part of your life, you'll die." "That's why you're grateful to your dad for making you support Boca." "But I have a feeling you're even more grateful to Boca because Boca lets you be, it allows you to live." "It keeps you alive." "That means, Hernan, that we'd be mistaken... that the solution would be... to encourage you to reduce that passion for Boca." " We'd be wrong if we took that path." " Undoubtedly." "What I feel is..." "like being in Paradise!" "And you feel this joy that can't be matched." "You can't be happier than you are then." "You have no control over yourself." "You lose your body, your soul, your head, everything." "And it's a supernatural feeling of ecstasy." "That's what Boca gave me." "But I love this addiction!" "I'll never let it go." "You've been with me all my life, and you'll be with me till I die." "Subtitles © Forlanesca for KG 2010"
