WhatsApp and Modern Arts combined their resources in enacting the production of the historic biopic, which Saka pointed out gave him the chance to tell his football story in a way it has never been done before.
Saka retorted, “People see the goals and the matches, but they don’t see what it takes behind the scenes, and part of that is my support system … WhatsApp messages from the people who were there long before any of this; who have believed in me every step of the way.”
Sports247 gathered further that the documentary will include some of the star’s lowest monents, like the cold reception he got after missing a decisive penalty in England’s Euro 2020 final loss to Italy at Wembley Stadium.
