    Insight about the differences between Italian and English football
  

*by O***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2013*

I am long standing Juventus fan. Having to read what our former captain has to say was the motivation to buy this book. However, the book was a lot more than that. It helped me appreciate the differences in cultures and in footballing schools.For example, Italians are more serious about their football whereas the English are more laid back.The book discusses the game from every human aspect. The players, managers, clubs, youth systems, fans, referees, media .. all of it. And by the end of the book you can say why the English and Italians never saw eye to eye when it came to football.Disclaimer: Football here means Soccer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A good read although a little dated.
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2019*

A nice dissertation on the benefits and problems of both country’s approach to the game as well as some good insight into football management and player development. A little dated now. Many of the techniques and tactics he recommends have been adopted by most of the top teams in England now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A terrific read
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2013*

An excellent read. Full of insights. Very thought provoking. The chapter on Tactics & Formations (Chapter 6) was outstanding in it's ability to convey complicated ideas. Vialli is uniquely positioned to to explore English Football and Italian Calcio from an insiders point of viewer. Marcotti helps out, especially making it readable in English. Very glad I ordered this, and you will be too.
