Most incredible Copa Libertadores Stories"
"The Cup, the Cup, you can look but cannot touch!" That old song seems antiquated, innocent, and harmless.
It comes from distant times in which the matches of the Liberator's Cup were followed by newspapers, by radios, and ghostly black and white television screens.
And yet, beyond that innocence, the song translates a genuine feeling that all fans feel.
I want that cup for myself. I will always love her. Over the years, fortunately, many clubs touched it, picked it up and had it in their showcases.
And before that, they dreamed it in every possible way that a football fan can dream a dream. Win it once. Or repeat the feat. Or snatch it from the last champion. Or remove the stigma of an overwhelming historical debt. As many dreams as clubs. So many dreams as fans. That's the Copa Libertadores. Playing it is, by itself, making history. And Luciano Wernicke offers us in this book a patient and interesting interweaving of enormous, tiny, unknown, celebrated, possible and unlikely stories.
Because this is the Cup. Let me feel that I know what it is, being a fan of a club that has been able to sustain deep romances with her. I invite you, just to look and touch this book. And above all to read it. While each one continues with his dream". Eduardo Sacheri (The secret of his eyes)
