The first goal scored by Paolo Guerrero in Racing he once again put the Peruvian under the spotlight of the press. The historical scorer of the Peruvian soccer team is back in the news for his soccer achievements, but in Argentina they also focused on an unfortunate stage of the striker who reached Netflix screens.
The TyC sports network published an acid criticism of “Contigo Capitán”, the Peruvian series released last year that recounts Paolo Guerrero’s fight to reverse the sanction imposed on him after failing an anti-doping control during the South American qualifiers for the World Cup Russia 2018.
In the column titled “Paolo Guerrero, one of a kind”, the journalist Ernesto Provitilo destroys the bioseries assuring that it is “terrible” and qualifies the production with unfavorable adjectives. “… It’s a crazy thing. So TERRIBLE. It’s six episodesperhaps one is worse than the other”, he maintains.
For the journalist, not only the content is bad, but also the selection of the characters. “The actor chosen to play Paolo, the Peruvian Nikko PonceHe doesn’t look alike at all, apart from being about ten centimeters shorter in height. In these bioseries, what helps the casting a lot is that there is a familiarity of features, at least, to give greater effects of verisimilitude ”, he criticizes.
To influence this point, he also points out that the selection of the red and white coach, Ricardo Gareca, is also missing. “Let’s not talk about who acts like Ricardo GarecaIt’s incredible, I won’t say too much, look at the photo below.”
Here are some excerpts from the criticism leveled at “Contigo Capitán”.
– “The script, weak, everything from Paolo’s point of view.
– “Leave android dialogues between the characters.
– “Let’s not even talk when it interferes in colloquial language, it is absolutely forced and without the slightest grace.”
-“The locations seem to be fine, but suddenly some furious chromas appear with Rio de Janeiro in the background that directly invites laughter.”
Ernesto Provitilo, author of a review of the Paolo Guerrero series.
– “The incidental background, with music of tension as if you were watching Mandalorian, contributes to the most ironic consumption possible.”
– The boy who plays Paolo, bad or bad, makes him want to, but some supporting actors or extras appear who are the glory.
– “The plot itself is so boring, it’s always guys sitting around with wigs and ad hoc costumes chatting about the same thing.”
– “There is no talk of doping, there are no narrative tensions, there are not even documentary findings, news, there is nothing, just an extraordinarily badly acted linear story about a guy who got away, was able to play a bit in the World Cup and returned home in first round”.
