Botineras ( WAGs: Love for the Game) was an Argentine telenovela produced by Underground Contenidos and Telefe Contenidos in association with Endemol. It began airing on November 24, 2009, Tuesday through Friday at 11 p.m. (UTC-3), on Telefe. While CQC was on television the series did not air during the summer, it was broadcast Monday through Thursday at that time. As of March 1, 2010, it began broadcasting at 10:30 pm (UTC-3), Monday through Thursday. With the return of CQC on Mondays, it happened again from Tuesday to Friday. From the month of July until its completion, it was broadcast from Tuesday to Thursday. It starred Nicolás Cabré and Romina Gaetani, with the antagonistic participation of Damián de Santo, Isabel Macedo and Gonzalo Valenzuela. With the special participation of Florencia Peña and the star performances of the first actors, Roberto Carnaghi and Graciela Pal.
Initially, the telenovela was intended to be a comedy about football as botinera translates literally to "a woman that wears a botín", which can mean either high-heeled footwear or a football boot; colloquially it means a footballer's girlfriend or wife. The comedy featured some celebrities from the Argentine football, like football agent Guillermo Cóppola, acting as themselves and the main asset of the comedy was Florencia Peña, who worked in many other successful comedies and helped the show gain modest notoriety.
By January 2010, the telenovela made a genre shift from comedy to police drama, with more emphasis beginning to shift onto Gaetani's and Roberto Carnaghi's characters. The first story arc which changed genre began when Cristian Flores (Cabré) was jailed for some weeks, and following the dramatic genre change, helped the show gain higher ratings than its previous status as a comedy. [1] A lot of characters began a repackaging, with Peña's character reformulated in the process. Her character began by going into bankruptcy and being forced to work for the police. Despite the new approach to the show, Peña announced that she would leave the program because of the changes and she was replaced with Pablo Rago. [1] Rago also departed from the program towards its end, in order to play the lead role in the film Manuel Belgrano and not have conflicting schedules with the show and the movie.
Cristian "Chiqui" Flores (Nicolás Cabré) is a crack of world football that lives in Spain and returns to Argentina to marry his girlfriend, Margarita "Marga" Molinari (Isabel Macedo), But the "Chiqui" also lands with a suspicion, the death of his greatest football rival in that country, mysteriously murdered. Due to this suspicion, the Argentine and Spanish police face an investigation to try to unravel the crime. The person in charge of that task in Argentina is Laura Posse (Romina Gaetani). This policewoman is going to infiltrate the world of football to approach to "Chiqui" and investigate the reality that involves Eduardo "Tato" Marín (Damián de Santo), representative of Cristian "Chiqui" Flores and Nino Paredes (Gonzalo Valenzuela), attorney of Cristian "Chiqui" Flores and Eduardo "Tato" Marín. Giselle López (Florencia Peña), the queen of the botineras, who will prepare her for the mission. Giselle has a modeling agency dedicated to placing girls in the soccer field.
On the day of the premiere, opposing television broadcaster Channel 13 scheduled a sketch with Francella, Adrian Suar and Tinelli, but "Botineras" had a higher rating, garnering 27.3 against 22.3. [2]
