Plot
The series tells the story of three friends called, Simón, Julián and Manuel. A friendship that was born when they were 8 years old while playing in a successful children's soccer team that represented a neighborhood club. When they were around 30 and around a decade without seeing each other, they met again in the same club, which is overwhelmed by debts. Julián (Gonzalo Heredia) son of Inés (Soledad Silveyra), is a professional player who plays in a football team abroad. He is very womanizing, and when he returns to Buenos Aires, Argentina he will fall in love with Bárbara (Emilia Attias), an accountant who also integrates the club's women's soccer team, where Julián will officiate as technical director. Until that time she thought to marry Luciano (Federico Amador), who along with his brother Maxi (Benjamín Rojas), are the owners of a logistics transport company, but Julián's arrival will change everything. Manuel (Nicolás Vázquez) He is a lonely bar owner of nostalgic personality, he longs for the old times of his youth. He will have an affair with Leo (Manuela Pal), also a female soccer team player. Simón (Nicolás Cabré) He works doing deals in the company of Luciano and Maxi. He is in crisis with his wife Rocío (Agustina Cherri) and in addition, he will begin to be attracted to Tania (Calu Rivero), who is DJ and cousin of Bárbara. Simón is distanced from his father, Cholo Alarcón (Osvaldo Laport), who returns to Buenos Aires, Argentina and begins to work as Colectivero of Buenos Aires, but also returns with his other son Guido (Victorio D´Alessandro), whom Simón sees with some suspicion. The treasurer of the indebted club, Andrea (Claribel Medina), cannot face the creditors, who demand that if the debt is not paid off, they will strip the entity of its facilities. There is a possibility to avoid it, winning a tournament that gives the champion team club an important economic prize, thanks to the auspices of a leading company. Meanwhile, the trio of friends will try to rebuild their friendship.
Production
Pol-ka had a difficult year in 2012, as most of its productions had poor ratings against Graduados, the telenovela from the rival channel Telefe. Their 2013 productions had a better reception, and Solamente Vos and Farsantes got the highest ratings. Mis amigos de siempre, the production for the 2014 season, includes several actors who had not worked in Argentine television for some time, such as the senior actors Soledad Silveyra and Osvaldo Laport.[2]
The production includes similarities with Campeones de la vida, an older telenovela by Pol-Ka. The plot is focused on a sports club and many characters are sportspeople. Silveyra and Laport play a couple once more.[3] The plots try to avoid the usual cliches in the romantic couples of telenovelas. The plots are also focused on nostalgia, but not as pronounced as in Graduados.[3] The opening theme was performed by the band Tan Biónica, who had also made the opening theme of Graduados.[4]
Reception
The first episode was aired on 3 December 2013. It got 18.1 rating points.[3]
