Las 100 personas que cambiaron la historia de los mundiales

The World Cup is the most anticipated tournament of the king of sports. Every four years, from 1930 to 2022, the event that stops the entire planet together with the Olympic Games. Each edition has had exciting stories, anthological matches, unrepeatable actions and, above all, unique protagonists who have made this tournament great. This book tries to find the 100 personalities that have influenced the most and that have marked the most differences. Because in the tournament where the demand and the level are non-negotiable, players, coaches, managers or even governors have had to transcend to elevate, even more if possible, to a championship that is constantly evolving and changing. Among these pages, you will see a trip that begins by boat bound for Uruguay and ends in Qatar, in an edition with too many shadows. And at each stop, a character will be part of a story, being the protagonist or being part of a moment that transcended. From Lucien Laurent, the first player to score a goal in a World Cup to Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, who will play their fifth intercontinental tournament in Qatar, joining a list made up of 'Tota' Carbajal, Rafa Márquez and Lothar Matthäus, without forgetting Mwepu llunga and his controversial play or Neymar Jr and his tragic injury in the World Cup that everyone expected him to win. A work that closes the circle of others such as The 100 best soccer stories or 100 people who changed the history of soccer, with Juan Arroita, Andrés Cabrera and Diego Campoy. A round number that pretends to be the x-ray of all the disputed editions with 100 protagonists who have 100 stories to tell.
