Although “Contigo capitan” has not surpassed “Dahmer” on Netflix, there is no doubt that Peruvian fans are very curious about the facts related in the series about Paolo Guerrero. For this proposal, streaming has made a portrait of that time in which the “Predator” tested positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine that almost left him out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Thus, the program shows how many turned their backs on Guerrero and how his mother, Doña Peta (played by Irene Eyzaguirre), even clashed with Edwin Oviedo, then president of the Peruvian Football Federation. However, the one who did decide to extend his support was Martín Vizcarra, former president of our country.
Martín Vizcarra in “With you captain”
The commented conversation between the soccer player and the former president takes place in chapter 5 of “With you captain”. Around the 13th minute, Guerrero arrives at the Palace together with ‘Chino Take’, his best friend, and his lawyer, Julio García.
García asks Vizcarra to publicly support Paolo and, if possible, to denounce the FPF, so that Oviedo is imprisoned for stepping aside in the controversy.
The former president reaffirms that what has been done to the athlete is an injustice and that he will help the selected team as much as possible. Immediately afterwards, he publishes a photo on his official Twitter (that image belongs to a real snapshot that became famous in 2018 and is still valid on the social network).
After that, the series shows that Guerrero receives a call from Oviedo, who comments that he has found a contact that could help the protagonist.
What is “Contigo captain” about?
“After testing positive for cocaine, Peruvian soccer star Paolo Guerrero faces a difficult legal battle a few months before the World Cup. Based on a true story”, recites the official Netflix synopsis.
“Contigo capitan” establishes his story between 2017 and 2018, a period in which Guerrero tested positive for benzoylecgonine. Thus, the show covers from when the news filled the headlines of the local and international press to the extensive legal process that followed.
