SIEMPRE+POSITIVO

Louis Van Gaal is haunted by his famous quote “Always negative”, but in his meeting with the scientist María Blasco after overcoming cancer in the middle of the Football World Cup, he will prove that his attitude is in fact always positive.

The scientific director of the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas, María Blasco (CNIO), and the legendary coach Louis Van Gaal talk and reflect on the relationship between science and sport in a cinematographic dialogue about cancer, the main cause of death worldwide with 20 million new cases each year and one of society’s greatest concerns. An inspiring conversation, in which we can see Louis van Gaal, very serene and close, sharing with María Blasco, openly, his personal experience in the fight against cancer (which he faced with naturalness and optimism, but, above all, with full confidence in the treatments and advances in research) and his positive way of facing the many problems he has faced throughout his life, despite being remembered in our country for his famous phrase “Always negative… Never positive”, pronounced 25 years ago. Never positive”, uttered 25 years ago during a press conference that is part of Spanish football history. A locker room talk, in which Maria Blasco explains how science is making great advances, reminding us that research is where new treatments come from.
