La infancia de los cracks. Pelé vendiendo cacahuates para tener un balón, Maradona dominando una naranja por Villa Fiorito, Cruyff pidiendo a su madre que cosiera una franja roja a su playera para que pareciera del Ajax, Garrincha dormido en una fábrica, Cristiano Ronaldo escapando al gimnasio de madrugada, Messi entrando a la cancha por presión de su abuela. Historias y anécdotas fascinantes detrás de cada crack.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Where did the greatest soccer cracks come from? What were their beginnings like? What type of obstacles did they have to overcome? How were their lives like before they achieved fame and glory?
These were their beginnings: Pele selling nuts so that he could afford a soccer ball; Maradora juggling an orange in the streets of Villa Fiorito; Cruyff asking his mother to saw a red stripe on his t-shirt so that it could look like he was from the Ajax Club; Garrincha sleeping at a factory; Cristiano Ronaldo sneaking out at dawn to go to the gym; and Messi pushed by his grandmother to go into the field. Fascinating stories behind each soccer crack.Also in
