Appearance and Accent: Broad shouldered with a height of 6 feet. Has black hair peppered with white. Mostly prefers to wear a coat, blazer and a Rolex watch on his hand. Has a British accent.
Martini is an intelligent person with a sharp mind. He has married twice and does not have any children or siblings. He was divorced a few years back because he knew that he could not get immersed in his job and keep his marriage healthy at the same time, so he preferred to concentrate exclusively on his work. His current marriage is about 2 months old and his relationship with the new wife is going well until, again he gets burdened with his job’s pressure. The couples encounter few quarrel with each other but the wife, Emma, knows that these quarrels will stop once Dominic achieves what he wants so she is trying to be supportive of Martini. Martini is not very organized in handling his articles and his room and his office are usually untidy. He is smoker and drinks occasionally, especially when his team wins.
After the ownership of the club is taken over by an industrialist, he has to face numerous problems. Martini has worked hard over his team and staff since 5 years and has managed to bring them into one of the most prestigious events of European football. Since the owner wants to hire another manager for the club, Martini has to win the tournament to prove he is the right person for the job; Martini now has to counter the toughest teams of England in the tournament, the issues within the teammates as well as the issues with newly found fame of his club, the pressure from the owner and club sponsors and the impact of indulgence in his job upon the newly married wife. Being short tempered, many people dislike him. Martini himself regrets this quality but finds it difficult to control it and does not work on overcoming it since it also establishes a commanding personality. Yet his ability to make smart decisions quickly makes him a valuable member of staff. He is not the type of person who sticks to just one plan. Instead he has a diverse approach and makes more than one plan that suits whatever the situation is. He is very supportive and friendly with the teammates and treats them as his family members. But he gets angry whenever someone breaks the discipline. He also has a habit of unnecessarily arguing with people that also makes him unpopular among some. But his wise planning and determination in striving for tournament’s cup and the trust in his team allows him to overcome his problems and be a role model for others.
The character of Dominic Martini came up in my mind because of my own interest in football. Since I watched one of the movies from ‘Goal!’ trilogy recently, where story revolves around a player, I decided to show the issues within a club from perspective of a manager. These days, football has become a very popular sport especially amongst the teenagers and young adults therefore this is also one of the reasons I made a character related to football. To make my character interesting for audience, I decided to put him in midst of chaos and difficulties and made him solve each problem with the help of his unique abilities. Yet I gave my character some negative qualities since a personality with no flaws seems a bit unrealistic. The target audience, that is the teenagers, young adults and football fans, will find themselves looking at a real life club Manager as he stands by the field giving instructions to his players and tries to calm down chaos among some stubborn players back in the changing room. In addition to this, he is also shown trying various ways in keeping the fans happy so that the audience is given a sense of what an actual manager goes through. He is an ideal example of a manager intensely loving his job and sport and the audience will definitely enjoy watching him.
