Mi amor hoy tengo fútbol: Manual de táctica y estrategia del fútbol amateur
by Max Aguirre Federico Reggiani¿Por qué cornos juego al fútbol?, se pregunta todo aquel que siente los dolores que los años o la patada de un cinco inescrupuloso dejan como marca en partes del cuerpo que uno ni sabía que estaban ahí, acechando, debajo de la capa de grasa. Usted, lector, no es un boludo único. Esperamos no herir su deseo de originalidad, pero es nuestra obligación recordarle que el fulbito una vez por semana es de boludo estándar, un episodio de la estadística, que se repite en miles de boludos, que al igual que nosotros, dedicamos horas de nuestras vidas, litros de nuestro sudor y la poca vida útil que le queda a los órganos relativamente importantes como el corazón y el cerebro, a jugar al fútbol como disciplina amateur. Usted es, qué duda cabe, un boludo digno de estudio. Si sos mujer y no podés creer que a tu novio o marido lo ponga más nervioso el partido de los jueves que el parto de un hijo, este libro también es para vos. Te ayudará a comprender la psiquis de este ser humano que cuando mira un partido le transpiran las manos, que discute con sus amigos si el asado debe ser antes o después del partido, cómo se debe llamar el equipo o de qué color se hacen las camisetas.
Mi once ideal: Principios y estrategias para triunfar en la vida y el futbol
by Oribe Peralta“Siempre estuve ligado a un balón.Si me preguntaras, ése ha sido el gran éxito de mi vida”, así comienza Oribe Peralta, uno de los mejores delanteros que México ha tenido, su impresionante testimonio de que el futbol, además de ser uno de los deportes más bellos, es también una filosofía de vida. Pero Mi once ideal va más allá de lo biográfico y extrae de los éxitos y las caídas del mismo Oribe los principios por los que este jugador ejemplar se ha guiado dentro y fuera de la cancha. En estas páginas encontrarás una guía y el conocimiento necesario para avanzar paso a paso para cumplir cualquier sueño que desees alcanzar, sin importar cuántas dificultades surjan en el camino. Tal y como lo hizo un niño de humildes orígenes llamado Oribe, que jugaba al balompié en la comunidad de La Partida y que, mediante el esfuerzo constante, la concentración y el deseo que anidaba en su corazón, logró, aun con todo en su contra, llegar a laprimera división del futbol mexicano y volverse uno de sus jugadores más destacados; así como darle a México una de sus más grandes glorias al obtener con dos goles suyos el oro frente a Brasil en la final de los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012. Sin lugar a dudas, Mi once ideal tiene la magia necesaria para ponerte en camino hacia la consecución de tus objetivos.
