The Figo Affair: The Transfer that Changed Football

Sauce

So they build up suggesting that something huge will happen. And in the end, nothing happens. The whistle blows and game's over. Figo is clearly a liar and not so bright person. He messes up and tried to cheat everyone on his path. So muh excuses and explanations but no honest talk at all. So all this hype for a football trade, wow. I get that it's a sport document and it also sides about other stuff going on back then, but when the main focus is on so meaningless mess up, it's really weak. Maybe someone to Barcelona this might be interesting, but doubt that there's anything useful to them either.

He is a traitor. A liar. This movei isnt show nothing new. Its a documentary? For what? To show what? What this movie want? I dont understand. He just want to clean himself, with more lie. This documentary isnt want to show what happend behind, isnt get any good information, what just realy happend. Ah yeah. We know MONEY. But what Figo want? MONEY. Nothing more. Just look how he looks. 49 years old, and looks like 6o..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The documentary appears to be factual but is very boring. In part, perhaps, because we know the ending even before the movie begins. It's valuable in that it documents soccer history in the best league in the world, Spain. Of all the "parties" involved in the transfer, Figo is by far the most credible. He appears to be a serious man. Hats off to Florentino for convincing Figo to leave a club, in only one meeting, where the fans loved him but senior management was a bit distanced from their very own franchise player. Barca has since recovered but they paid the price dearly for a good number of years given their lack of championships.
