Coach Me If You Can - Season 1 (2020)

When Erico sees the Hazelnuts in raptures over Larry's new football, he feels like it's stolen his limelight, and pressures Daniel to start a competition with Larry and his ball.

A slip of the scissors and Daniel ends up with Maple's exact haircut. The furious coach resigns. Erico proclaims himself the new team coach, but the situation soon takes a disastrous turn.

The boys find a support group of stars who have also been turned into objects by the sorcerer, and assigned a "Daniel" to train. Erico despairs when he learns that no one has ever managed to lift their curse.

Erico is having fun scaring Daniel by telling him phony urban legends. But when he discovers that balls are being found mysteriously deflated, one after another, at the gym, Erico's the one who start to get scared.

Daniel makes a wish for Erico to find a sense of true Christmas spirit. Surprise. His wish summons up the Spirit of Christmas. But conveying Christmas values to the ball is no small feat.

Maya hears Erico talk, and tells her parents. They think Daniel is making their daughter even loopier, and pull her out of the club. Daniel feels responsible, and tries to change their minds.

Erico shadows Daniel and discovers that he plays on the swings when nobody's watching. Daniel refuses to give up his hobby, but Erico is clear: this is too lame for him to continue. Swings do not a great footballer make.

Maple asks Daniel to make a short film about his hero, but Erico isn't happy with the results, and convinces Daniel to let him help. The project becomes as overblown as the ball's massive ego.

Daniel's mom, Corinne, replaces Maple as the Hazelnut's coach, much to her son's delight. But Erico takes a much dimmer view of the newcomer: Corinne gives Daniel such special treatment that he barely trains at all.

Convinced her son is being led astray, Corinne decides to take a night off to spend time with him, with unexpected results. Daniel wants more, and follows Erico's advice to dabble in (fake) crime to keep her attention.

Daniel accidentally scores a goal with his hand. Erico tells him to keep quiet: after all, everybody cheats. Just don't get caught. But Daniel won't be able to contain his guilt for very long.

An over-zealous inspector turns up, and imposes a set of drastic safety regulations on the Hazelnuts.

Daniel accidentally exchanges Erico for the latest Platana gadget: a talking ball.

Erico posts a funny video of Daniel on the web, making him an internet sensation.

Erico is losing faith: Daniel is not improving, and he and Junior are even proud to be lame. But could Daniel be deliberately hiding how good he is?

The Hazelnuts want to record a fund-raising album. There's just one problem: Daniel can't sing. Erico offers to help: singing is his other great gift.

Daniel's efforts to celebrate Erico's 1000th goal seem lame, so he asks his millions of followers to take over.

Maple decides to get rid of the team's old plastic footballs, for environmental reasons. Erico panics: is he made of plastic, too?

Erico is ecstatic: ERICOLA (his brand of soda) is about to hit the stores - but then it fails the taste-test with Daniel.

Daniel is working on Erico's biography, and discovers Lario, Erico's childhood BFF, who helped kick start his career. But then he sees that Erico has forgotten Lario, and starts to worry that he'll share the same fate.

Daniel tracks down Erico's old nanny; an elderly lady named Abuelita. Erico is so happy to see Abuelita again that he completely forgets about Daniel,

Erico introduces Daniel to the art of "faking it": a skill that can mean winning or losing a match. But Daniel is so good at acting seriously wounded, that he ends up in hospital.

Daniel is flabbergasted to discover that Erico has another family. The ball is unapologetic: his other family treats him better, and laughs at all his jokes.

Daniel is thrilled by his amazing progress, until Erico reveals that it's all because of his new sneakers: cursed by the sorcerer.

Erico is convinced that their goth goalie, Timea, is depressed, and persuades Daniel to cheer her up, whatever the cost.

Daniel tries refereeing, and discovers a passion for order and rules. It's Erico's worst nightmare. He'll stop at nothing to bring Daniel's newfound vocation to a close.

A new Platana trophy has been created to reward the game's dirtiest player. Erico is happy to be in the spotlight, but Daniel doesn't want his idol's name associated with football scum.

They're tearing down the statue of Erico in the park. In desperation, he decides to hide the statue at Daniel's.

Erico has had it with the team's incompetence, and hires professional players as Daniel's new teammates.

To fast-track Daniel's career, Erico launches a publicity campaign to pass him off as a prodigy, but it works a little too well, and even Daniel ends up believing it.

Daniel Sissou wins a golden ticket to meet his hero, football star Erico Platana. But then a mysterious sorcerer joins them, and infuriated by Erico's arrogance, turns him into a football.
