The book is already on sale for a price close to 28,000 Argentine pesos and begins from his early days as a youth player, his time as a player in various European clubs, and his almost unexpected appointment as the coach of the national team.

This book is the result of extensive research by Borinsky, who interviewed more than 40 people, including Scaloni himself in Mallorca, Spain, to bring the writing to light, including family, friends, former club teammates, national team players, and technical staff. He even made a trip to Pujato, the hometown of the former footballer, to understand his origins and where he comes from.

On the other hand, it should be noted that Borinsky is already a well-established author with several successful works to his name. He wrote the authorized biographies of Matías Almeyda, Andrés D’Alessandro, and Marcelo Gallardo, for whom he wrote three different books.

Regarding Scaloni's career, he made his professional debut with Newells in 1994 and stayed there for two years before moving to Estudiantes. A year later, Deportivo La Coruña bought his contract, and he spent 9 years with the Spanish team. After a loan to West Ham, he moved freely to Racing de Santander for a year and then joined Lazio in 2007. After a loan to Mallorca, he returned to the Italian team in 2009 and went to Atalanta in 2013, the club where he ended his playing career.
