The Figo Affair: The Transfer That Changed Football

In its day, Figo's tumultuous transfer, where much bad blood was incurred, was a certain imaginary milestone (not only) for Spanish club football and the beginning of the Perez galácticos era. In that respect, this is a solid documentary about why that was the case. It's purely for football fans interested in the behind the scenes, but there is nothing there that those who followed it at the time won’t already know. But they managed to get everyone involved in front of the camera. The most interesting thing is that even after more than two decades, some still have the need to obfuscate, lie, embellish and play into the hands of their mistakes and broken promises. And so it's a kind of concoction of versions in the form of a tutorial video "how body language reveals more about you than words". (2022.09.03)
