fueran deportes, sino pura vida entre dos rodajas de humor.»Juan Gómez-Jurado, autor de Reina roja Con el inesperado final de Antes todo esto era campo atrás a Pablo se le resolvieron muchas dudas sobre su pasado y presente mientras que, al mismo tiempo, se le abría un horizonte que todavía no sabe muy bien cómo afrontar. En esta segunda parte de la saga Pablo vuelve a hacerse cargo de ese equipo de mierda que tantas frustraciones, carcajadas y amor le dio en la sorprendente temporada anterior, pero esta vez con un fin, con un plan que iremos descubriendo poco a poco. Su delirante manera de manejar este equipo de baloncesto seguirá siendo el hilo a través del cual se vaya deshojando una historia que puede tener su origen en cualquier tiempo muerto del pasado.
