El gran teatro del fútbol

In an attractive balance between anecdotes and anthropological analysis, The Great Theater of Soccer runs through the mythical stadiums of the most famous clubs, the third division fields or the tournaments of the saraguros in Ecuador, the schoolyards or the stands full of ultras and followers of all stripes. At the same time, it interprets the relationship between football and political, economic and media power, new masculinities, national identities and corruption. Through in-depth fieldwork, his experience as a player and interviews with footballers, players, coaches and journalists, Alberto del Campo combines rigor and disclosure to get to know the world of the ball from the inside, while addressing literature and history, great themes such as love, humor and death, or the stories of suffering and hope of so many lives. Almost without realizing it, we close the book getting to know each other a little better.
