La vida es un juego

Carlos Matallanas, former athlete and beloved sports journalist, brings us a short and exciting essay, structured like a football manual, on the importance of having a passion. He talks about life as a game and soccer as a metaphor for existence. From his pages, the author conveys his love for sport, but using it as an excuse to philosophize on topics such as perseverance, empathy, respect, solidarity or resilience. Soccer has given meaning to his life, even to face his disease, ALS, which has him immobilized in a bed from which he writes these lines as an essay for his nephews and for anyone who wants to read it, "because There will always be a child looking at you and to whom you must give the best witness: your example".
