“Daddy, we won the World Cup”, the new book by two word champions

Fabian Galdi and Gonzalo Ruiz They are sports journalists with vast experience, but, in addition, they are writers, and very good ones. They have the writing gymnastics that is usually achieved in print media newsrooms, and the inextinguishable enthusiasm of those passionate about the field. All this is a guarantee to make a book that will be a great goal.

This Thursday, at 8pm, at La Bancaria (España 1234, Ciudad) they launch their new production, “Daddy, we won the World Cup”co-authored. The first, from the World Cup headquarters; the second from Mendoza, in this book they rescue his experiences during the tournament that gave us the third star. Meanwhile, Galdi reports from Doha, out of pure journalistic emotion; Ruiz, using all the speculations, sweats it like a fan, from the living room of the house, where her little daughter does not forgive her dad for missing the last episode of Peppa Pig, because of her soccer fanaticism.

Imagine the result: a testimony that exceeds the journalistic, the personal, that goes to the core of the collective, to remind us, as Rodolfo Braceli once stated that, for better or worse, and as is fully demonstrated, “We are football fans”.

“A collection of stories that has nothing to do with television documentaries or post-match interviews, where there are no questions, only a short and brief summary. There is here, on each page, the impulse of witnesses, the instinct for preservation, the vocation to tell“, specifies Luis Abrego in the prologue of Daddy, we won the World Cupas a synthesis of a reading experience that it is advisable not to miss, to feed the perennial beat of our albiceleste heart.

“I think this book is for two types of readers: lFootball fans, who were fascinated by the World Cup, enjoyed it, and they like texts about football, and, on the other hand,, a reader who is not a soccer fan, but fully experienced everything that the World Cup generated. He doesn’t watch football, but he does turn on the World Cup. “That he wants to relive that month of immense joy and that was so unforgettable for everyone.”Gonzalo Ruiz tells us.

Regarding the cover art, share: “With the editor, Alejandro Friaswe take the plunge with rep. He reprimanded himself, the three of us were shocked, and very grateful, because we greatly admire his work, and it is a luxury to have him on our cover.”.

Exclusive preview of “Papi, we won the World Cup”

Muchachosss:
¡No lo soñé!*
Lloro.
Mis dedos tiemblan en el teclado.
Los dientes se hunden en mi lengua.
Mi pie izquierdo le pega al derecho.
Mi pie derecho devuelve los golpes.
Mi psiquis es un lavarropas centrifugando.
La lapicera ya se cayó tres hileras abajo.
Las uñas se quiebran en la fórmica.
En mi espalda, tres o cuatro golpes me convocan.
Giro, se viene el abrazo.
Uno, cinco, mil, dos mil millones…
Abrazos a no sé quién.
Abrazos de no sé quién.
Insultos al aire: uno, cinco, mil, dos mil millones…
Lloro.
Lloran.
Lloramos.
Llora Leo.
Llora Dibu.
Llora Ota.
Llora Enzo.
Igual que el tipo de la fila de arriba.
Me acerco, no sé quién es, no sabe quién soy.
Lloramos, gritamos, maldecimos y se suman uno, una y no sé
quiénes son, y no saben quién soy.
Lloro.
Llora Fideo.
Llora Julián.
Llora Alexis.
Cierro los ojos: imágenes retro, el barrio, la cuadra, la
pelota Pulpo, los tobillos sucios y el fóbal convocando.
El bollito de papel en el recreo, el caño que tiré en la fila
para formar, el caño que me tiraron en la fila para formar.
Los desafíos contra esos de la otra cuadra, la prueba en el
club del barrio, la prueba en el club de AFA.
Llora Lautaro.
Llora Angelito.
Llora Nahuel.
Llora Taglia.
Llora Rodrigo.
Llora Leandro.
Llora Guido.
Llora Franco.
Llora Gerónimo.
Llora Ota.
Llora Enzo.
Igual que el tipo de la fila de arriba.
Me acerco, no sé quién es, no sabe quién soy.
Lloramos, gritamos, maldecimos y se suman uno, una y no sé
quiénes son, y no saben quién soy.

Llora el Lionel mayor.
Llora el Payasito.
Lloran el Cabezón.
Lloran los profes.
Llora Bangladesh.
Lloran en el rioba.
Y hoy Doha es un barrio pintado de celeste y blanco.
Y creo que estoy soñando.
Que estas lágrimas no existen.
Que es una fantasía o una peli de ciencia ficción.
Pero veo que el Diego mete un guiño cómplice.
Y que Pachorra se une a la ronda de abrazos.
Y que estos muchachos se abrazan con los pibes de Malvinas.
Y que el pogo más grande del mundo hace vibrar Qatar.
Y que… ¡¡¡NO LO SOÑÉ!!!
*Crónica escrita por Fabián Galdi el 18 de diciembre de 2022, apenas unos minutos después de que Messi levantara la copa. Pensamos titularla «Escrito en caliente», pero optamos por
respetar ese primer impulso del periodista que no pudo más de la alegría.
