Overview

PASIÓN, CORAJE, DISCIPLINA, LIDERAZGO… SON MUCHOS LOS CALIFICATIVOS QUE DEFINEN A FERNANDO “EL SHERIFF” QUIRARTE, UNO DE LOS GRANDES ÍDOLOS DE LAS CHIVAS Y DE LA SELECCIÓN MEXICANA DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS.

¡Bendito futbol! es el testimonio conmovedor de un hombre que surgió de las fuerzas básicas de las Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara con las que debutó ¡a los 17 años! En estas páginas se cuentan sus logros y tropiezos en su carrera deportiva, las fuertes polémicas con directivos y jugadores, y los inolvidables Clásicos contra el América y el Atlas. Además, narra su llegada y titularidad indiscutible en la Selección Mexicana para confirmar por qué fue el gran “sheriff” de la defensa central en los equipos donde jugó, como director técnico, emprendedor y empresario.

Fernando Quirarte revela aspectos desconocidos de su vida: la dolorosa muerte de sus hermanos en diversas circunstancias, los sacrificios de él y de su familia para salir adelante, el ejemplo de su madre, la convivencia con leyendas del balompié como Maradona, Hugo Sánchez, Bora Milutinović, el “Ruso” Brailovsky, entre muchos otros; cómo era la relación familiar con tíos y primos en la infancia, el momento en que descubrió al amor de su vida y con quien creó una hermosa familia. Así como su plan de acción como funcionario público para ayudar en las explosiones de Guadalajara de 1992.

Pocas historias como las de esta leyenda del futbol mexicano comparten con tanta emoción momentos extremos como un asalto con violencia, el desvanecimiento producido por un golpe terrible durante un entrenamiento, la trágica muerte de un compañero de las Chivas y el fallecimiento de sus amados padres, y con tanta alegría sus goles en el Mundial de México 86 o en la final contraCruz Azul el mismo año, para hacer de este libro escrito con el corazón una memoria inolvidable.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PASSION, COURAGE, DISCIPLINE, LEADERSHIP… THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE QUALITIES THAT DEFINE FERNANDO “EL SHERIFF” QUIRARTE, AN ALL-TIME CHIVAS GREAT AND STAR OF MEXICO’S NATIONAL TEAM.

Blessed Soccer! is the riveting testimony of a man who skyrocketed to the top of the Mexican soccer scene after debuting with the Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara at the age of just 17. Fernando Quirarte recounts the highs and lows of his career, including disputes with fellow coaches and players and classic matches between América and Atlas. His account of his days with Mexico’s national team showcases his role as the defensive “sheriff” of the teams he complemented as a player, coach, businessman and entrepreneur.

Quirarte offers insights into little known aspects of his private life: the untimely deaths of his siblings; the sacrifices his family made for his career; the example set by his mother; his interactions with icons such as Maradona, Hugo Sánchez, Bora Milutinović, and “El Ruso” Brailovsky; a childhood spent among uncles and cousins; and the moment he discovered the love of his life, with whom he went on to start a beautiful family. Readers also learn about his actions as a public official following the deadly 1992 gas explosions in Guadalajara.

Quirarte’s narrative stills shine no matter the subject - a violent assault, an on-field injury, the tragic death of a teammate, the loss of his beloved parents, or the exhilaration of scoring goals in the 1986 World Cup and Chivas victory over Cruz Azul - making this heartfelt memoir a book every soccer fan will treasure.
