From the neighborhood to the screen, here is a very special chapter of my life, where I was or tried to be a soccer player, and I tell the story of my friends, based on the story of a friend who made it to play professional soccer and played alongside me on the street or on the corner. I was also a teammate of one of the players from Chile's Golden Generation. Well, all of that is in this family soccer series about how a child makes it to play professional soccer.
