We try to show the ups and downs, the tension and the authentic energy that football generates in its fans, whether they are from anywhere in the world. When the fan is at the game every Sunday, he is able to connect with the energy of the stadium and transport it to the set with a truth that few actors would reach. And this invaluable contribution. In building a real match routine, we use reference to all the details, from the bus packed with people bouncing around the city towards the stadium to the rivalry between the teams, but who fills this space is the fan, says Marcus Cidreira.
For many, match day, or match day, is a religious ritual. Football is made up of explosions, high energy, but also moments of silence. This was important for the direction and for the rhythm of the edition that portrayed the day of the game, the match day, completes Vince Tigre.
