En Mi vida es el f?tbol narra su enorme afici?n desde que era un ni?o hasta convertirse en portero profesional, y sus encuentros con leyendas del balompi? como El Rey Pel?, “La Tota” Carbajal, Maradona, “Nacho” Trelles o Hugo S?nchez.

Adem?s, repasa el despegue del futbol femenil y critica algunas de las decisiones de la FIFA. Este libro es uno de los testimonios m?s valiosos para comprender la magia del juego; su esencia, sus luces y sombras; sus h?roes y batallas… contado con la caracter?stica amenidad y sencillez de un apasionado del micr?fono.
