Mauricio Silva Guzmán in conversation with Pascual Gaviria

Losing means winning a little, too

Jericó 2026, 
We talk about football, and love for the game, and how losing can also mean winning. Because “football is football” as Boškov said, and there are conversations that are as beautiful as scoring a goal in extra time. The journalist Mauricio Silva Guzmán is the author of Los 50 mejores equipos de la historia del fútbol profesional colombiano, which offers sketches of the finest teams in the history of the sport in Colombia. An essential work for anyone who loves the beautiful game. He will talk to Pascual Gaviria.
