Everyone talks about enemies to lovers, but what about rivals-featuring the world's most famous footballers?
In the cutthroat world of football, the pitch was never considered a place to score love, yet Victoriano Nesto is about to face an unexpected twist.
Rivalries define the basis of the sport, and finding out that his own rival, Rafe Pirro, has more than a competitive interest towards him, leaves Victoriano grappling with a truth he never wanted to come to terms with.
For a football icon like Victoriano, being in the public eye means hiding your true self, and the last thing he anticipated was entangling his heart in the strings of love-especially with his sworn rival. He did just that. Though, as the months pass, stricken with self hatred and the fear of being outed, he forces himself to end the complicated relationship with Pirro, generating heartbreak for the both of them.
So, as time went by, the magnetic pull between them persisted, pushing Victoriano to contemplate reigniting the flames of their past. And after both hoping the other would reach out at some point, fate throws them back together through unexpected circumstances, forcing both Victoriano and Rafe to confront their unresolved feelings for each other.
In the battle for love and goals, will they find a way to score a victory in their complicated relationship, or will the relentless rivalry between them lead to their ultimate defeat? Chortoné's Man Over Man provides a realistic insider to the world of professional football, delving into an industry that demands the secrecy of personal lives for the sake of success on the field, and explores the complexities of love, rivalry, and identity in a never-before-seen way.
