'A wonderful overview of tactical development in European football'
Matthew Syed, The Times 'A fascinating assessment of football in
2019' Observer An insightful, comprehensive and always entertaining
appreciation of how European football has developed over the last
three decades by the author of the much heralded The Mixer.
Continental football has always cast a spell over the imagination.
From the attacking flair of Real Madrid of the 50s to the defensive
brilliance of the Italians in the 60s and onto the total football
of the Dutch in the 70s, the European leagues have been where the
game has most evolved and taken its biggest steps forward. And over
the last three decades, since the rebranding of the Champions
League in 1992, that pattern has continued unabated, with each
major European footballing nation playing its part in how the
game's tactics have developed. From the intelligent use of space
displayed by the phenomenal Ajax team of the early 90s, to the
dominance of the highly strategic Italian league in the late 90s
and onto the technical wizardry of Barcelona's tiki-taka, the
European game continues to reinvent the tactical dimension of the
game, creating blueprints which both club and national teams around
the world strive to follow. In Zonal Marking, Michael Cox
brilliantly investigates and analyses the major leagues around
Europe over specific time periods and demonstrates the impact each
has made on how the game is now played. Highly entertaining and
packed full of wonderful anecdotes, this is the first book of its
kind to take an overview of modern European football, and lays bare
just how much the international language of football can be shaped
by a nation's unique identity.
