About this product

Product Information

Gianluca Vialli and Gabriele Marcotti here tackle the fundamental questions which inform football debate in England and Italy from the mundane to the profound, from the tactical and technical to the cultural and sociological. Why is football experienced one way in the Premiership and another way in Serie A? What makes a footballer? What do we see in the game? Why does football matter so much in both countries? n their search for answers, they have enlisted the help of the men who have written recent football history in both countries, including Jose Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson, Pierluigi Collina and Arsene Wenger, amongst many others. In informal interviews and off-the-cuff conversations, top managers and players speak out candidly, sharing their experiences and insight. For example- Sven-Goran Eriksson reveals how the England players reacted when he told them that the Ulrika Jonsson affair was about to be made public. Arsene Wenger suggests that British football is passionate, while Latin football is rational Fabio Capello recounts how the convergence of styles throughout Europe has led to a faster game in which technical players are being squeezed out by athletic ones
