Lena Katlik unmasks the world of football in her book
00:38
The author of the book called Eldorado unscrupulously described what the brutal world of football looks like and skillfully pointed out its sins. This is not literary fiction, but a summary of many of my own experiences, experiences, and observations. In her debut novel, Lena Katlik, the embittered mother of a talented 15-year-old who constantly dreams of a football career, describes, among others, scams among former footballers and members of the Polish Football Association, the abuse of parents of children who train in them by the owners of private schools, as well as sexual offers for their mothers in exchange for favoring their sons.
“Unfortunately, this world in my book and in general, in everyday life, is not as colorful as it seems to be. Watching all the players, for example, Robert Lewandowski, it seems to us that it is such a fairy tale that this career was so simple. No, it's not like that. Usually, it's a very, very thorny path. Sometimes you have to experience a lot of humiliation, I do not mean myself as a mother, but a child who is still too young and too young to understand the world he is entering,” Lena Katlik said.
