The author reconstructs his emotional bond with Real Oviedo starting from a childhood memory: finding a poster of the team from the season of their last promotion to the First Division. Through a nostalgic and literary lens, the book explores how an everyday moment can trigger a devotion that transforms identity and memory. A work for those who understand football as a territory of shared emotions and stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with an everyday scene from the author's childhood: after drinking a soda, he feels the need to use the bathroom and, on the way, discovers a poster of Real Oviedo from the 1987-88 season, the one of their last promotion to the First Division. That chance find among beer kegs and outdated phone books becomes the trigger for an obsession. From there, the text delves into the construction of a football identity, mixing personal memory with the club's history. It is not a statistical account or a conventional sports chronicle, but an intimate exploration of how a team can become a sentimental axis, an anchor in time, and a reason for belonging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNostalgia and childhood as the starting point for a sporting passion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between football, personal memory, and identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReal Oviedo as a symbol of a city and an era.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe experience of promotion and glory as collective emotional milestones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterature as a vehicle for narrating fandom and devotion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor football fans looking for reads that go beyond scores and statistics, and who value the emotional and literary narrative of the sport.
