Real Madrid, nine times winners.

But not now for four years.

This is where they kick off

their latest campaign.

An unhappy time for Gavin Harris.

He has a point to prove.

- Cheers. Good luck.

- Cheers.

The new boy, Munez.

He starts from the bench.

Gavin Harris. He hasn't scored

for 14 games. The wait goes on.

Half a yard behind, isn't he?

Just over half an hour to go.

Again the delivery. No finish.

Harris again trying to influence

proceedings. He's struggling tonight.

One on one,

that should have been a goal.

Harris off the mark, off his game.

And the crowd's starting

to get on the Englishman's back.

- Oh, yeah, look, there he is.

- It's time for a new star.

Does this spell the end

for Gavin Harris?

It's certainly the start

of something new for Santiago Munez.

- Go, Sant.

- Go on, Santi.

Munez ghosting in.

He's looking menacing.

Oh, dear, it's all coming to the boil.

Thomas Gravesen's brought his handbag.

Beckham's corner.

Not cleared,

only as far as Munez.

Could this be the moment?!

Yes! Yes!

It could not be a better start

to his Real Madrid career.

A last-minute goal for Santiago Munez.

- Enrique!

- Come on, come on.

- Did you bring the dough?

- Quick, before they catch us.

OK, OK, this is for you

and this is for me.

What's in that head of yours?

What do you want?

For us to visit you in jail?

Listen...

...one false move,

and you will ruin your life forever.

More ruined than it already is?

Enrique my love, don't say that.

Look at that player, Munez.

He didn't have anything, like you.

Look at him now.

Apart from that, what the hell

does that have to do with me?

I'm going to tell you a secret.

That player is your brother.

Santi! Over here!

- OK, OK. Take it easy.

- Santi!

- Come on out, darling.

- Careful. Are you all right?

- Are you OK?

- I broke my heel off.

Come on inside. I've got a little

surprise for you. This way.

That's for you.

Come on in. And follow me. Follow me.

That's for you.

- Come on. This way.

- What was that?

Come on. Patience.

And pick her up. She can't walk.

And that's for you.

Come here.

I think he wants a photo.

Here we go.

- So is it always like this or what?

- It is, actually. They're all mad.

- Total lunatics.

- You don't sound surprised.

- You love it.

- What, being in the press?

I'll tell you what.

At the end of the day,

I'd rather be out with my friends having

a nice meal, nice conversation.

Let it breathe for one minute.

OK. There's more

to life than just football.

What, like computer games?

- Come on, you're in the first team.

- Don't get me wrong.

It pays the bills. I do love it,

but I've got other interests as well.

I mean, for example, wine.

I've made an investment

in a tasty little vineyard in France.

Could be my future, you know?

- I think it's corked.

- No, no, it's Covio de Special Reserve.

Jump on the plane with us.

No one will know.

- I think the coach might notice.

- The house is so empty without you.

- It's only a couple of weeks.

- I don't want to go.

- It'll be like you never left.

- I love you.

Me too.

- I'll call you, OK?

- OK.

- Anything you need, give me a ring.

- Thank you.

ONE MONTH LATER:

Sant, I'm desperate for the toilet.

Look at the pool,

at the gorgeous pool.

Hey, happy birthday.

- Didn't need to. I've got everything.

- I won't bother next time. 29 again?

Watch it.

I really need a wee.

Where's the toilet?

- Back here.

- See you in a minute.

In that room.

It's a bit of a wait, I'm afraid.

What do you think?

It's not bad, is it?

Different class. How can you afford?

I don't know.

Barry sorts all that out.

Hey, Barry! How can I afford this?

Because I get you

Oh, yeah.

It's because I'm on 80 grand a week.

I've got something for you.

Off you pop then, treacle.

Santi, what's up, man?

Listen, you scored an absolute belter

tonight, love. You smashed it, bubba.

Listen. What're you thinking

bringing Roz up here?

This is what we call a bona fide

singles party, do you get me?

- She's my fiance.

- Hey, Barry. Hey.

Chteauneuf du Pape 1982.

See what you think of that.

- Nice.

- Come on. Let's go outside.

Oh, Santi.

I've got a little idea for you, love.

- Who's that?

- No idea.

So how many rooms is this?

I think it's eight.

But I've only been in six.

I'm leasing it,

and one of the rooms was locked...

Well, but it's sort of,

like, a little bit weird.

It's those Euro-style bathing suits.

I don't think I'll wear it.

- Hey, monkey.

- Hello.

- Where you been?

- Introduce me to your friend?

Who, him?

Jordana Garcia, Santiago Munez.

- She can't resist me.

- I'll try.

Hi, Santiago.

Hi, how are you?

Hmm, Dolce?

Dolce, yes, yes.

Really good goal, eh?

Thanks, but I only played

for seven minutes, so I wasn't...

Well, you must be really tired then?

Lovely ass. I want him.

- But I thought he had a girlfriend.

- And who cares?

Roz. Hiya, darling.

It's so great to see you.

Have you seen Santi?

I think he just

popped upstairs with Gav.

- You look absolutely splendid.

- Thank you.

- Can I get you a drink?

- No. I'm going to find Santi.

- See you later.

- See you.

There you are.

I've been looking everywhere.

- Hi.

- Roz, this is Jordana.

- Hello.

- Hi.

He was telling me about your wedding.

You're lucky.

- Not as lucky as he is.

- True.

- Can we go in? It's a bit cold.

- Yeah. Sure.

OK, then,

you'll have to come on my TV show

before the other channels grab you, no?

Well, thanks,

but I'm not into all that stuff.

Did you just say no to me?

You'll like it.

I've been cornered by Barry.

It was disgusting.

He's such a lech.

His hands were all over me.

She walked around

without a top all night. She's a slut.

- Glad we're home. That was mad.

- Gavino sure was in his element.

What did you think of that TV girl?

- TV girl? Who?

- You know who I mean.

The one, "Did you just say no to me?"

Her? Silly cow. Think she's hot?

Don't you pause! What do you mean?

You just paused! You can't say yes.

She's OK. I think Gavino

has a thing for her, actually.

- She definitely likes you.

- I'm irresistible, what can I do?

I don't think so.

I could take you or leave you.

- I can change that.

- Do you?

I think so, yeah.

Sant, why are we here?

This is our house.

- You've bought it?

- Yeah, I did.

- Oh, you haven't.

- Yeah. What do you think? Come.

Sant!

- Look.

- Oh, my God, it's massive.

Look at the size of it.

It's beautiful. It's amazing.

Oh, wow! I like the kitchen.

- It's great.

- Yeah.

This house belonged to a very

famous designer. What's his name?

Well, they say he's

gonna be the next Versace.

A lot of the things inside

and the furniture were designed by him.

- We have seven bedrooms...

- Seven?

- Yeah. And seven bathrooms. Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Do you like it?

- Don't know what to say.

Santi! Santi! Sant!

I'd like to talk for a second

about this new arrival,

the Mexican Santiago Munez

who we see here entering

Mike Jefferies

Born in Liverpool, Mike Jefferies is a British screenwriter and film producer. Jefferies founded the media and publishing group Mondiale in 1991 which he sold to the Daily Mail in 1999 after winning the HRH Queens Award for Enterprise in 1998. In 2000 Jefferies moved to Los Angeles where he founded and subsequently sold the B2B media group Line 56.In 2002 he moved into the world of feature films, beginning with soccer trilogy Goal!. Jefferies co-wrote the screenplay for the first Goal! with contributions from veteran British writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais. The story of a young illegal immigrant, rising from poverty to become one of the world's greatest players was released by Disney and has been shown in 38 countries worldwide. Goal! grossed $27.6m at the box office. The $50m deal that was struck between the producers and Adidas was the biggest ever between a corporate brand and a film production.Jefferies was one of the writers on the second part of the trilogy, Goal! 2: Living the Dream.... and co-wrote the third part Goal! 3: Taking on the World with Piers Ashworth. In September 2004 Jefferies, together with Stuart Ford, fronted a bid backed by the Kraft family, to purchase Liverpool Football Club. The bid would have valued the club at approximately £200m. In 2005 the club was subsequently purchased in a deal by Tom Hicks and George Gillett which valued the club at £218.9m. In October 2010, as part of a fans' campaign against the ownership, Jefferies conceived and directed a short film entitled 'Dear Mr Hicks' which was released virally via YouTube. The Independent newspaper praised the video saying: "True to the city's capacity to create something out of adversity, a wonderfully inventive viral film, Dear Mr Hicks, has been published online to make it clear where he ought to go. The fans' view can be summarised thus: away, and soon".In 2011 Jefferies re-launched Milkshake Films. more…
