Oronzo Canà is a former football player a.k.a. "The Hyaena of Tavoliere" that became a good 2nd and 3rd level trainer.Borlotti,chairman of Longobarda,new promoted in Series A (our Premiership) hires him with the secret task of relegate the team back in Series B (2nd Level) due to management problems.With the "help" of Bergonzoni and Giginho (Roncato and Sammarchi), Canà finds a Brazilian player, Aristoteles (Urs Althaus from Warbus and Warrior of the Lost World!) that after a difficult beginning (defeats with Roma,Verona,Cremonese and after 7 matches 3 points) elevates the team far from relegation with his goals (Sampdoria,Torino,Avellino,Como defeated,8 points in 6 matches).A "comrade" ,that already loves chairman's wife (maybe a chairman's plan to slow him?), injures Aristoteles during the match with Milan that wins 7-1.Hopefully Canà, after a disqualification as he argued with the referee of Juventus-Longobarda,a tried explosive voodoo on Zico that then scores 4 goals in Udinese-Longobarda, a failed combine with former player and at that time football manager Picchio De Sisti before Fiorentina-Longobarda (4-0) that De Sisti intended as a charity match -at last Canà menaces "Io Picchio De Sisti (I beat De Sisti)..."-,losses with Napoli and Inter and repeated altercations with supporters (led by two fat twins),recovers the Brazilian in time to win the last matches with Lazio and Atalanta and save his team from relegation, despite Borlotti's opposition.Great movie,many chicks also Brazilian,a lot of real players (Chierico,Graziani,Pruzzo,Spinosi,De Sisti,Damiani,Maffei,Martellini r.i.p.),many double senses,great OST,a must-see for the Italian comedy!
