Overview

¿Se puede contar la historia del fútbol en 500 partidos? Este libro demuestra que sí: medio millar de instantáneas —a veces heroicas, a veces azarosas— que dieron forma al juego de pelota inventado por los ingleses hasta convertirlo en el mayor espectáculo del planeta.

Desde el día en que, en un pub de Londres, en 1863, se fijaron los primeros reglamentos, hasta el sistema de ligas, los primeros mundiales de selecciones y la explosión del fútbol gracias a figuras totémicas como Alfredo Di Stéfano, Pelé, Diego Armando Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo o Lionel Messi, este recorrido arma un relato vibrante y cronológico de casi dos siglos de historia.

Pero la pelota no rueda solo en los pies de los más grandes. En esta antología sorprendente también entran a la cancha partidos que definieron el uso de arcos y mallas, la duración de 45 minutos por tiempo, el rol del entrenador o los mil y un inventos para desempatar: desde la moneda al aire hasta los goles de oro y de plata.

El partido que terminó con 149 goles, el que fue suspendido 33 veces por el mal tiempo, el día en que las mujeres pisaron por primera vez el césped, el momento en que se empezaron a usar las tarjetas amarillas y rojas, los equipos marcados por accidentes aéreos o el único encuentro al que asistió Hitler: cada capítulo suma una historia mínima que agranda la leyenda.

El lector va a devorar estas páginas como una pared perfecta o una gambeta de antología y, casi sin darse cuenta, habrá recorrido 160 años de goles, injusticias, hazañas y alegrías. Abra el libro, que ruede el balón y que la historia del fútbol vuelva a jugarse.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Can the history of soccer be told through 500 matches? This book proves that it can. Five hundred snapshots—sometimes heroic, sometimes accidental—that shaped the ball game invented by the English into the greatest spectacle on the planet.

From the day the first rules were established in a London pub in 1863, to the creation of league systems, the first international World Cups, and the global explosion of soccer driven by iconic figures such as Alfredo Di Stéfano, Pelé, Diego Armando Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi, this journey weaves a vibrant, chronological account of nearly two centuries of history.

But the ball doesn’t roll only at the feet of the greatest stars. This surprising anthology also brings onto the pitch the matches that defined the use of goalposts and nets, the 45-minute halves, the role of the coach, and the countless inventions devised to break ties—from coin tosses to golden and silver goals.

The match that ended with 149 goals, the one suspended 33 times due to bad weather, the day women first stepped onto the grass, the moment yellow and red cards were introduced, teams forever marked by plane crashes, or the only match ever attended by Hitler—each chapter adds a small story that enlarges the legend.

Readers will devour these pages like a perfect one-two pass or a highlight-reel dribble and, almost without realizing it, will have traveled through 160 years of goals, injustices, feats, and joy. Open the book, let the ball roll, and let the history of soccer be played once again.
