Book 4 Oubiña

Author: Iago Solleiro

Binding: white cover

Synopsis:

Any fan knows Oubiña's career. However, few know about his life: the ten operations, his work with the sports psychologist, the crucial importance of his family, the anguish of feeling like an ex-footballer, the calm of the cold water on his battered knee.

Through this first-person biography, Borja Oubiña tells his story and many others. His story, that of the only youth player who managed to break into the eleven of the Eurocelta, that of the promising footballer cut short by injuries, that of the player who managed to return and open the door to the Celta youth team of today. But, in addition, from Borja's hand, many others shine in this book, which invite us to discover, for example, the world of agents and anti-doping controls, the potential of La Liga at the end of the nineties and the hard hangover afterwards, the business of football or the extreme physical demands of elite sport.

Borja Oubiña, the person and the footballer, the man who feels more proud of what he has achieved off the pitch than on it, the player who wonders how far he could have gone. A fundamental testimony for any lover of football and sport, a unique biography and, at the same time, a universal story.
