Book "Tomás Calero, the Betis Doctor"

MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS TAKING THE PULSE OF THE VILLAMARÍN DRESSING ROOM.

Synopsis:

The detailed account Calero has given from his arrival at Betis in 1986 to his recent retirement shows us the impressive growth of a club that has not always been, on the sporting level, at the level of its tremendous social dimension, but which in recent years has considerably reduced the gap to establish itself firmly in the elite. Calero has shared joys and sorrows with ten presidents over almost four decades. From Luis Del Sol to Pellegrini, Calero has worked with thirty-seven coaches, with some on several occasions. (He describes all of them with such precision, both on a professional and human level, that it is easy to understand why some succeeded and others failed). Good fans are well aware of the technical virtues and defects of the hundreds of footballers who have been to Tomás Calero's office while he has been Betis' doctor, but they will be surprised, for better or worse, when they discover the behaviour they have in the privacy of the dressing room. Thanks to Calero's entertaining story, the inner workings of Real Betis Balompié are better understood through the hundreds of anecdotes told in green and white by this Cordoban who learned to love Betis deeply as he discovered it from within.
