Description
Jonathan Wilson's Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics is a masterful exploration of the game's global history, tracing the evolution of tactics from modern pioneers to the early days of football. Wilson delves into the lives of influential players and thinkers, examining why the English have struggled to adapt to the abstract. The fifteenth-anniversary edition, fully revised and updated, charts the influence of top tacticians from Spain, Germany, and Portugal on modern international football, including the 2022 World Cup. Wilson also probes the effects of football's increased globalisation and commercialisation, offering a nuanced analysis of the sport's development. Through its pages, Wilson pulls apart the finer details of the game, providing a fascinating insight into the world of football tactics.
