An opinionated masterclass in the art and science of "reading" a
match from one of professional soccer's most respected and beloved
international figures. "For Americans new to European soccer, terms
like 'false striker,' 'double accordion' or 'moving trios' need Mr.
Gullit's expert explications." -Wall Street Journal Ruud Gullit
knows better than anyone else that to understand soccer you have to
understand strategy. When he started playing soccer, his only
"strategy" was to get the ball, outrun everyone else to the other
end of the field, and score. At first it served him well, but as he
advanced through the sport, he learned that it takes much more than
one player's speed to make a winning team. Over the course of his
career, he worked his way from the Dutch junior leagues all the way
to the legendary AC Milan, eventually retiring from the field to be
a trainer, then a manager, and finally a commentator. Each step
came with its own lessons, and its own unique perspective on the
game. Now, having looked at soccer through every lens possible,
Gullit shares his own perspective. Most spectators simply watch the
ball, but in How to Watch Soccer, Gullit explains how to watch the
whole game. He shows how every part of a match, from formations to
corner kicks, all the way down to what the players do to influence
the referees, is important. And he uses his own vast experience to
illustrate each point, so his lessons are filled with anecdotes
from his years on the field and insights from his observations as a
manager and commentator. This exhaustive guide will change the way
even the most die-hard fan watches the beautiful game.
