Attention, fans! "Universitario, 365 stories" is the new book about the cream club.

Universitario, 365 stories is the new book that U fans can purchase to enjoy stories about their beloved team. The author is journalist Pedro Ortiz Bisso, who stated that it was very difficult to write this compendium about the merengue club.

"It was difficult to find a powerful story for each day. And in the middle, because this book was born in 2018 and encountered the pandemic in full swing, it was more complicated to revisit the archive," he declared during an interview with El Comercio.

Likewise, he recalled that his work prevented him from making progress. "In addition, my work from Monday to Sunday at El Comercio, as deputy editor, forced me to resume the project only at night, after the closing time. Today I look at it and say, how hard it is to work on a book! For those of us who occasionally return to the archive, as in my case, to think about football, like Ezequiel Fernández Moores does in La Nación, it is also a pleasure," he added.

The press man confesses that he has always liked to write since he was a child, but he was discouraged because he felt embarrassed: "I have not read enough," he said, "to venture into this. I saw people around me who are so capable and said, what am I doing here? In fact, with this book I wanted to start, after so long, a series of pending projects I had, related to football," he explained.

"My theme has always been time, before at El Comercio and now as well: I give classes, write for a couple of sites, and occasionally talk to students who need some help. And I am always ready to accompany them, I have never wanted to close the door on anyone. And I have also had a little embarrassment: I don't know, for example, how people will receive this book. This project is no longer mine, it belongs to those who buy it. And I leave them my promise that the next one will be even more ambitious," he expressed.

Pedro Ortiz Bisso went into detail about the topics that the U fan can find in the book. "It is a compilation of data, brief stories, and memories of dozens of journalist friends and my own experience as a reporter covering the 'U', which summarize in 365 days the life of my club. I have gone back to those campaigns in the late 60s, I have returned to the Tricampeonato, which I covered as a journalist in Deporte Total, and so on," he said.

It is important to mention that fans can purchase Universitario, 365 stories at the Lima International Book Fair (FIL) at the Deporvida bookstore.
