00:00What a luxury to have here Lindsay Castinelli as a special guest of our People VIP,
00:09living this emotion of the Copa América.
00:14How are you? Welcome.
00:16I know we had to run here because you are between one game and another,
00:21but what a pride to have you here to tell us about this experience.
00:25We also talk about you and that special shine you always have in front of the cameras.
00:31Welcome, here we are at the Central Studios of the Comebol Copa América 2024.
00:36For me it is a pleasure, a pleasure to be with you
00:40and of course to welcome you to what is our home during all this beautiful month,
00:46full of football, of passion, but also full of family.
00:50Because I think the Copa América is that event that is bringing us all to the couch of the house to share once again.
00:57And it even takes us to the kitchen, look at what we have to say.
01:02Because then the Colombians prepare their Colombian snack before the game,
01:06the Peruvians make their cevichito.
01:08That is, in some way it is an event that not only fills us with sports,
01:12but I also think it fills us with that immigrant heart,
01:15that little heart of moms, of soccer moms like me, some.
01:20And of a family that sits down to enjoy an event and that reunites at a given moment.
01:25How nice, how nice that you are in front of all this, transmitting the emotion.
01:31And what pride for us, as you say, the Hispanics and the Hispanics,
01:35to see you there shining and triumphing, not only for your knowledge,
01:39but also the way you do it and the way you present yourself.
01:42Look at what I tell you, that radiant and beautiful smile with which you are always in front of the cameras.
01:49Thank you very much.
01:50What happens is that when you really identify with what you do,
01:54not just love it, because sometimes you can love something a lot,
01:56but you don't necessarily understand who you are talking to.
02:01And I, as a person who arrived in this country 20 years ago,
02:06I remember perfectly what it meant to me
02:08when I could somehow reconnect with my roots.
02:13And I believe that this Copa América has that mission.
02:16Beyond, of course, the football part and the sports part,
02:20there is a beautiful part of all Hispanics.
02:22Notice how nice it is to think, Kika,
02:25that the sport that identifies us to all of us in Argentina,
02:29in Peru, in Chile, in Colombia,
02:32today is the protagonist in this country that has adopted us.
02:36So where there are also wonderful sports,
02:38because there is baseball, there is NFL, there is basketball,
02:42but now our sport is the king
02:46and we see it with the little ones, all of them playing football.
02:48All the children who every time sign up for the academies,
02:52the madness for Messi to be unleashed
02:54and how beautiful it is to live in the stadiums.
02:57This passion for football and this love we have for the sport.
03:01That's right, Alicia, more children and girls,
03:03because look at the huge boom with the little ones
03:07who are crazy about this sport.
03:10And well, it is inspired not only in what is the activity as such,
03:14but in figures like you, who are there at Univision,
03:17not only in this sporting part, with news, as a figure.
03:21Anyway, you do many, many special and inspiring things
03:25within your role.
03:26Well, how many years, Lindsay, in front of this whole project?
03:30A lot.
03:31No, no, no, how old.
03:32No, girls, I started yesterday with my 22 years that I have.
03:36No, look, the truth is that, look,
03:38in this Copa América something very nice happened.
03:41When we were thinking about the creative idea
03:43of what the message was going to be for our people,
03:46obviously sell the stars, sell Messi, Suárez, Vini Jr.
03:53And all that is very important and fundamental.
03:55But another woman here in this company came up with a brilliant idea,
04:00which was that the message was the Hispanic children
04:03wearing the shirt of their countries.
04:05And when I had the opportunity to do the opening in Argentina,
04:09against Canada last Thursday,
04:12thank God they put that video on me before,
04:13because I'm going to confess that when I saw it for the first time,
04:16my throat was cut, my heart was cut,
04:20thinking of the illusions, of the dreams of our youth,
04:23of our kids, as we say in Venezuela,
04:27of our kids, as we say in Mexico.
04:30My dear Lindsay, I leave you because I know that you are in full action,
04:34in full course, and that Univision is putting all its feet
04:38so that this Copa América is really a total success.
04:42A big kiss, deep admiration,
04:45and well, here we will be seeing you connected through the screens.
04:50Success, my dear.
04:52Thank you for having me, it's a real pleasure for me,
04:55and I hope you are following the entire Copa América.
04:57But not only the Copa América,
04:59I think that in general the sports world is so beautiful.
05:02And I want to tell you this,
05:05if you don't know about sports, you still feel like you know it.
05:08You don't have to know everything.
05:09Statistics are just numbers.
05:12There are other things that we can do through sports
05:16that are important to do in the family.
05:17So, many times, sometimes I get women, even men,
05:21it's just that I don't like sports.
05:23Of course, because suddenly they don't understand it, right?
05:25Nothing happens if you don't understand it.
05:26Sometimes you can enjoy it in another way,
05:28and you can understand it in another way.
05:30And that happens a lot sometimes to people when they have children,
05:33that suddenly they didn't like a sport,
05:35their son starts practicing it, or their daughter starts practicing it,
05:38and they start to understand much more than just a number, right?
05:42And I want people to go with that,
05:44because sports is a balsam,
05:47a balsam for our society.
05:48We have to take advantage of it, and we have to take advantage of it,
05:52because it teaches us,
05:53it teaches us to deal with the two most important things
05:56and emotions that we have in life,
05:58which is success and failure, right?
06:00When it comes to having to deal with those two situations,
06:03we all find ourselves with that.
06:05So, well, I hope you enjoy this Copa América a lot,
06:07and that you like, of course, the coverage that we have on Univision,
06:10because it was thought for our people and especially our children.
