“With you captain”, the new Netflix series that tells the life of Paolo Guerrero (Nikko Ponce), is now available streaming. The fans of soccer player of the Peruvian national soccer teambetter known as ‘The predator’they already talk about some episodes that the show portrays: from the intense fight between Doña Peta and Oviedo, to the stories of their ex-girlfriends that have been made into fiction.
But beyond that, something that has attracted a lot of attention is the name that has decided to put the red N abroad. Far from being a literal translation of the title, its English version is completely different.
What is the name “Contigo capitan” in English?
Before revealing the name, we will give you a well-known example. “La casa de papel” —soon to launch the Berlin spin-off— never had a literary translation, as far as its title is concerned.
Netflix could have simply called it “The house of paper”, but instead it ended up being called “Money Heist”.
In the same way, “Contigo captain” has not been translated as “With you captain”, but as “The fight for justice: Paolo Guerrero”, which in Spanish is understood as “The fight for justice: Paolo Guerrero”.
What is “Contigo captain” about?
“Contigo capitan” tells the story of the former captain of the Peruvian soccer team, Paolo Guerrero. Specifically, the series portrays one of the most difficult moments in the “Predator’s” sports career: his controversial suspension from the 2018 World Cup in Russia due to a drug scandal.
The series has six episodes and is already available on Netflix from Wednesday, October 5.
