SYNOPSIS
Christian is an extremely talented as well as unpredictable and rebel football player. After his latest ‘screw-up,’ the president of his team decides to assign him a personal tutor, to help him in controlling his temper. Valerio is a shy and solitary professor, the exact opposite of the ‘Champion.’ Sparks will fly between the two at first, but soon their relationship will change both for the better.
