L'allenatore nel pallone

Nice movie about the football world. Between bribes, talent scouts, cheating and training, the coach Canà will lead the team not to victory but at least to avoid relegation to Serie B.

One of the most famous roles of Lino Banfi who with this movie also makes a sharp satire to the world of football where it is not enough to know how to play but it is also necessary to know the right people, have plenty of money and know how to do good business.

I guess this movie can be fully understood only if one's Italian so if you're not I guess you shouldn't even bother.

The movie is extremely funny, no need to look for a deep meaning, if you wanna watch it, just turn your brain off for a couple of hours and enjoy

Don't even bother to understand why some of the actors in the movie could get the part, some minor characters in the movie really look like they couldn't even act in a high school play butI guess back in those days the industry was working in a different way. But anyway that's not the point, I told you, just turn your brain off, this is one of those movies you can watch 20 times and still laugh for the non-sense of some lines and also for the awesome performance of Lino Banfi who's definitely at his best in this movie.

A masterpiece about football movie... Banfi is superlative to perform Mr Canà.. Martini painted a perfect portrait of 80's italian world football. Plot is foreseen, screenplay is trite, Aristoteles is a bad bad bad player but these are the reason 'cause it's a masterpiece..tactic explain scene is one of the best italian comic quality scene. Memorable the unforgettable performances of Pruzzo, Ancellotti,

Zico, Graziani and...fake Platini..

Can't miss it
