Aimed at readers of 9 years old and over, this book teaches that the objective of sport goes far beyond winning or losing. Blanca is a Chinese adoptee and she's having problems with her brother, Gabriel, because of his need to be first in everything. They both play in a football team and they must overcome their differences and evaluate their competitiveness. This forms part of a collection about how sport, especially football, can help promote values such as solidarity, team working, tolerance and diversity.
