"One of the thematic lines that Juanjo Giménez's cinema has covered is dedicated to football. In addition to Rodilla, his shorts Libre indirecto (1997) and Máxima pena (2005) bring us closer to this world, whose passion is not so much in the big leagues and championships, but in the emotional universe that cinema is for many people."
