"EL TRAPO, La Verdad De Washington Olivera" - The biography of Washington Olivera,
the former midfield/striker.
Written by Washington's nephew Enzo Olivera, entirely in Spanish.
It tells of the difficult life of the Uruguayan player who left his mark on national football.
A footballer who would later become Cobreloa's biggest idol, and who had unforgettable
spells with Chile's Everton and Osorno arrived in the country.
This is one of the many stories collected by Enzo, who after four years of research
and interviews, was able to bring to light the true story of an athlete full of lights and shadows.
"The book is a true manual on how to make it in football after having nothing.
We are a humble family, with precarious circumstances, and football was an
opportunity for social mobility for the family. He had everything, he won all the titles,
he was a goalscorer on all fields, but after retirement he had a hard time,
that's why it's not just a book about goals, it's more of a story of a
very hard life," adds the author.
