Why doesn't the agent show up at Santiago's game in the movie the dream begins?

In "The Dream Begins," Santiago's agent doesn't show up at his game because he underestimates Santiago's potential and is skeptical about his abilities as a soccer player. The agent prioritizes more established players and fails to recognize the talent and determination that Santiago possesses. This absence serves as a turning point for Santiago, motivating him to prove his worth and pursue his dream despite the lack of support.
