Dani is probably the only character who is more optimistic than Ted. I love the energy he brings. Specially love that he and Jamie seem to be becoming friends.
I just want to point out something fun. This is Dani's first time meeting everyone, but he already knew who they all were. His first words with Sam were complimenting him and turned into a big running hug. He won over everyone real quick.
I knew what kind of character Dani was the moment he ran in a circle for no reason. Entering singing his own name? Could be another Jamie. Running around like a literal golden retriever because he’s so happy he needs to physically express it? I know him and I love him.
There were lots of clues early on. He was always a kiss up/kick down personality, and his roast of the players wasn't just someone being honest, but getting revenge.
i’m so glad he eventually gets better. I think what he just needed all along was to learn confidence and humility and because of ted, he did! In that order! Nate truly did become a better person in the end (although the pacing was a little odd i admit but they had to cram it all in 3 seasons) and i am glad he was redeemed.
Dani showcasing his skills here is hands-down the happiest and most beautiful scene in the show. The music, the camerawork, Dani’s smile… I always come back to it for an energy boost.
Great example of show instead of tell, as a huge football fan I was waiting for a moment like this in the series, where an actor pulls off some actual skills
Never seen the series actually, but that clip gives me a vibe of words I once heard: "some players want titles, some want money but sometimes we see those that just want to play, who bring this childish perspective of football on pitch, and those might not be the most skilled, but they are passionate and they awake these feelings in all of people watching them play.
Best entrance of the entire series. Imagine if everyone approached a new job or opportunity with the same attitude of confidence, humility, and enthusiasm - even if not so overtly displayed.
The SECOND Dani ran on the field I immediately pointed at the screen and declared: "Him... he's my favorite"❤ You bring so much energy to the character and always manage to brighten everyone's day 😊
One of those laugh out loud scenes, Ted and Beard with real concern and Dani just exploding onto the pitch. Brilliant. Dani is such a great character, brilliantly portrayed. Well done. My favourite Dani line is 'my mother says I was born caffeinated.' Fabulous.
The New Santiago Muñez. This takes me back to the 2000’s era with the Goal movie and the classic Jerk It Out Track (feat on FIFA 2004). Beautiful. Hope to see more of Dani Rojas!
I see this video 1000 times. Everything is perfecct. Character, song everthing. When ever i see this i always have a smile in my face and yes football is life❤
¡Soy fanático de Brasil, y la serie de Ted Lasso valió más que la pena para Dani Rojas! Amo mucho!! ¡Cada vez que necesito sonreír, pongo este video! Gracias...
I’m late to the party. Just binged all three seasons of Ted Lasso and replaying lots of RUclips clips. This is brilliant and still makes me smile. Dani Rojas, legend!!
You aced this character man! Every time you walk into a scene I just know it's going to be fun. Think my favorite is from this season when you're freaking out about wearing dress shoes and walks around praying for relief lmao
I watched the series, and I really liked the character of Dani Rojas, that optimism, that happiness, the vibes that every Latino player transmits, you are a great Cristo 👏 💪
Me encanta el personaje de Dani Rojas! Perfect casting! I love a positive Latino character in a show. Ted Lasso is one of the best shows I’ve seen! Felicitaciones! ❤️
Congratulation man, i just watched the Show from start to finish and it‘s amazing, 100% one of the best shows i have ever seen. You are one if the best Characters in there and i loved every moment when you were on screen. Can‘t wait for Season 2 and more Football is Lifeeee.
An incredible intro to an amazing player. I love that Ted Lasso has the ability to have really joyful players but explore the depth of them at the same time
As a football fan I can say that Dani is completely right, football is life! I love how he enjoys the game and playing with others, waiting for season 3 🎉
Best fucking show on the planet . If u are depressed watch this. If u are anxious watch this. If u are paranoid watch this. If u are ted lasso...go and watch wrong turn. U are too optimistic
Been watching this show, just came by to see my favorite scene of the show. We gotta see more Cristo in stuff! What you bring to the character and show is fantastic!
I came to RUclips hoping I could find this clip because it gives me a huge seratonin boost. Great song, great player, great scene! My family is all American but we love us some soccer (sorry, we have to call it that here). And then I see it was uploaded by the man himself! FOOTBALL IS LIFE!
Cristo, soy una Argentina viviendo en Mexico con mi novio Estadounidense, y hace unas semanas lo convenci de mirar Ted Lasso, porque yo ame el show. Se enamoro del show mi novio tanto como yo, y amamos a tu Dani Rojas, que personaje mas hermoso!. Te deseo todo lo mejor en tu carrera, de corazon.
It’s incredible how in five seconds that Dani Rojas shows up you want to protect him from all evil
Shut up
If only we knew how he would actually be in a world cup match back then 😂
That's because you still didn't met Rani Dojas, he IS evil.
He is like a Labrador 😂
@@TheStriker42 😂🤣😂🤣
The amount of optimism and enthusiasm you bring as a character on this show is so contagious. Best of luck in your acting career 😊
I LOVEEE THIS PART
He was in the post-credits scene from Spider Man No way home, so I think he is doing fine 👌🏻
Raven haired golden retriever
The type of player I wanna be
@@mcblaze1968 I had the same impression :)
Dani is probably the only character who is more optimistic than Ted. I love the energy he brings. Specially love that he and Jamie seem to be becoming friends.
fOoTbAlL iS DEATH!
@@DrZaius3141 but mostly life!! xD
Football is also sometimes just football
Even when he got clashed by Nate, he took it so well even though it hurt him because he knew he was true
Football is life but also death
He's the team's Mexican Golden Retriever. This dude is so lovable!
He's the team's Chihuahua!
Well they did call him a raven-haired Golden Retriever!
because they don't have a greyhound? 😲
Yep, lol In my country we call these high energy + happy go lucky individuals as "human labradors". It's nice to have them around
I just want to point out something fun. This is Dani's first time meeting everyone, but he already knew who they all were. His first words with Sam were complimenting him and turned into a big running hug. He won over everyone real quick.
It wasn’t his first time meeting everyone, he was injured so no one had seen him play.
The moment jerk it out comes on for anyone, you can’t help but love them
I mean, they're the starters for a Premier League team lol
Jamie flinching at Dani coming over raising his hands to him.
Man, after watching every episode that suddenly holds a different meaning.
Ooh yeah, once you find out about Jamie's dad it puts a whole new depth on it
As he flinched when Roy hugged him after Jamie got physical with his dad in front of everyone.
I knew what kind of character Dani was the moment he ran in a circle for no reason. Entering singing his own name? Could be another Jamie. Running around like a literal golden retriever because he’s so happy he needs to physically express it? I know him and I love him.
Man the actor who played Dani captured him perfectly. Was exactly what the show needed.
Nate laughing at Jamie’s “soul being crushed” is very indicative of his later progression
There were lots of clues early on. He was always a kiss up/kick down personality, and his roast of the players wasn't just someone being honest, but getting revenge.
Nah Nate was still a good buddy at this point of time. He laughed because Jamie had bullied him a lot and he got excited about him being sad
@@wvu05 He abuses what little power he has. His yelling at Ted and Beard when they stepped on the pitch for the first time is a telltale sign.
@@pranavxd3852 He never was good. He was just... quiet and shy
i’m so glad he eventually gets better. I think what he just needed all along was to learn confidence and humility and because of ted, he did! In that order! Nate truly did become a better person in the end (although the pacing was a little odd i admit but they had to cram it all in 3 seasons) and i am glad he was redeemed.
There is no Ted Lasso without Dani Rojas!! This scene is everything! ❤️
This scene is life!
@@jasdeepsingh5903 Football is life!
Dani Rojas was also the bartender in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Roy coming out of nowhere just to insult Jamie and walk off with "cheers again" is just so hilarious
I loved this scene so much! Dani was introduced into the season at the right time and increased the energy!
Absolutely love this scene. Introduces an amazing character with great action and incorporates a classic FIFA Song
*LET'S GO!!!*
What song is that?
@@tomalexander9797 Jerk it Out from The Caesars. It's an absolute banger that was in FIFA 2004
@@theportugueselegend And it all comes full circle as AFC Richmond are fully playable in FIFA 23.
I also loved it when they played A Town Called Malice at Ted's first match with Richmond. Another classic FIFA 04 song!!!
Dani showcasing his skills here is hands-down the happiest and most beautiful scene in the show. The music, the camerawork, Dani’s smile… I always come back to it for an energy boost.
Great example of show instead of tell, as a huge football fan I was waiting for a moment like this in the series, where an actor pulls off some actual skills
@@danivarga4868 Yeah, it nice to have actor that can actually play football for once. Feels like only basketball movie get legit basketball players
The song that’s playing when Dani gets on the field is just perfect. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewatched this scene!
playing a classic FIFA song was such a golden touch, love it
Love this scene as well. I actually looked for a sample of this recording just to play it before the gym .
WHATS THE NAME OF THAT SONG!? I CANT FIND IT!!!
@@Darksky1001able jerk it out by Caesar’s Palace
@@Darksky1001able mate, I got you. Jerk it Out by Ceasers Palace.
How can you not love Dani Rojas?! Futbol is life!
I love how Dani is always enthusiastically singing and repeating his name out loud over and over.
Never seen the series actually, but that clip gives me a vibe of words I once heard: "some players want titles, some want money but sometimes we see those that just want to play, who bring this childish perspective of football on pitch, and those might not be the most skilled, but they are passionate and they awake these feelings in all of people watching them play.
Dani brings me muchos joy!
One of the best characters and entry sequences ever. All the best for your acting career Cristo!
Would love to see a compilation of Dani sying "football is life!" Cristo deserves every compliment he is getting. Great acting!
Best entrance of the entire series. Imagine if everyone approached a new job or opportunity with the same attitude of confidence, humility, and enthusiasm - even if not so overtly displayed.
Easily my favorite character and amazing acting performance.
That subtle head nod from Ted when Dani takes the ball...it's those little details that make this show soo greattt
Yes. I watched that nod many times
I love Dani Rojas he makes me so happy anytime I see him. Just finished season 1 going onto season 2 I hope I see more of him
The SECOND Dani ran on the field I immediately pointed at the screen and declared: "Him... he's my favorite"❤
You bring so much energy to the character and always manage to brighten everyone's day 😊
That’s weird. Why did you feel the need to make that declaration?
Dani in just 10 seconds made it to be one of the most beloved characters of the show 😂
I want nothing more than for this kid to have an AMAZING career. Futbol is life!
His energy is the absolute best! I find myself chanting the "Dani Rojas, Rojas" line and smiling afterwards. Like a good way to boost my morale 😊
It takes a lot of natural charisma to be so immediately likeable, yet here we are. Such a good character and such a good portrayal!
Jamie Tart, Sam Obisanya, Dani Rojas. That’s an unbelievable trio AFC Richmond has. It’s only been two days and I already miss this series 😢
One of those laugh out loud scenes, Ted and Beard with real concern and Dani just exploding onto the pitch. Brilliant. Dani is such a great character, brilliantly portrayed. Well done. My favourite Dani line is 'my mother says I was born caffeinated.' Fabulous.
Dani is sunshine gold in a bottle.
One of the best introductions to a new character ever on TV! Love Dani Rojas!
Dani Rojas running out onto the pitch chanting his OWN NAME is how I want to start my day tomorrow 😄
From that very first “FOOTBALL IS LIFE”! I knew Dani was going to be one of the best characters 😃
The New Santiago Muñez. This takes me back to the 2000’s era with the Goal movie and the classic Jerk It Out Track (feat on FIFA 2004). Beautiful. Hope to see more of Dani Rojas!
Thank you so much!!! I’ve been looking for this track.
I started watching this show because my friends said I remind them of dani and that has to be the best compliment I've ever gotten! love ya!!
In all the media I have consumed, I have never fallen in love with a character in less than a minute. Good job man.
Perfect actor for the perfect position. Good luck in your acting career Mr. Fernandez.
One of the best character intros I've ever seen -- can't wait to see Dani in season 3, and what you go on to do beyond!
Whenever I’m having a bad day, I watch this scene. Nothing but smiles!
Thank you for making my day better!
One of the best 1 min segments I've ever seen on TV
Perfect song for a perfect scene - just awesome!!!!!!!!
Which song is this mate ?
@@1421solo jerk it out by caesars. Such a great song
@@bwman1516 thanks mate!
I love that it's a reference to both EA Sports (FIFA 2004) and Apple themselves (iPod Shuffle).
by far my favorite character on the show. Dani inspires to have the same energy and passion on and off the field
In all the time I've watched TV, I've never immediately fallen in love with a character like DANI ROJAS!
I see this video 1000 times. Everything is perfecct. Character, song everthing. When ever i see this i always have a smile in my face and yes football is life❤
Best 3 seasons of television ever❤,sorry jerry,and all the rest,it's a ne w day and his name is Ted lasso ❤❤❤football is life

This scene lives rent free on my head. Much like football, Dani Rojas is life
That smile could light up the world. This is my go-to scene when I am having a bad day. ❤️
I’m late to the party. Just binged all three seasons of Ted Lasso and replaying lots of RUclips clips. This is brilliant and still makes me smile. Dani Rojas, legend!!
Just started watching the show and I couldn’t stop smiling at Dani lol he’s good!
Watched Ted Lasso after getting sick and getting quarantined and this scene made my day. Such positive energy
You aced this character man! Every time you walk into a scene I just know it's going to be fun. Think my favorite is from this season when you're freaking out about wearing dress shoes and walks around praying for relief lmao
Saludos desde Argentina queridísimo Dani Rojas! Football is life! 🇲🇽🇦🇷❤️⚽️

Dani Rojas: his attitude is the world is his oyster and he has a million perfect pearls

I started watching the show because of this scene. Going to get a custom LAFC shirt with Rojas on the back. It’s only right
As a football fan I can say that Dani is completely right, football is life! I love how he enjoys the game and playing with others, waiting for season 3 🎉
I love that this is set to a very fifa-esque sound track. Makes it even more amazing.
Best scene of the season!
Best fucking show on the planet . If u are depressed watch this. If u are anxious watch this. If u are paranoid watch this. If u are ted lasso...go and watch wrong turn. U are too optimistic
Claro que sí. El futbol es vida.

Brett’s natural voice is the first few seconds when he talks to Jamie at the end,
I need more Dani Rojas!! Rooojas!!! Dani Rojas in next season ❤️
The definition of a golden retriever in a character
I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I think this scene by itself makes the whole first season, the happyness is just contagious :)
The best character of an amazing show
I discovered Ted Lasso last week and I already watched the whole show. You give me smile during my reeducation.
Thanks from France!
This scene makes me giddy with happiness. Next time I get a new job, I am going to use this entrance.
I laugh every single time I watch this. So glad I watch this show
A huevo! 🇲🇽 VIVA CRISTO VIVA MÉXICO 🇲🇽
