Episode 1: The Return of Azmi

In January 2006, Palestine's national team coach Azmi Nassar woke up and couldn't remember his own name. He had brain cancer. Doctors gave him months.

“Am I going to die today? Because if not—give me three days. I have an Asian Cup qualification campaign to prepare.”

That’s what Palestine’s national team coach told his doctor after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

His story is Episode 1 of “Scoreless at the Break.”
