Description
European football has a long history of innovation and evolution, with each major league playing a significant role in shaping the game's tactics. From the attacking flair of the 1950s to the defensive brilliance of the 1960s, and onto the total football of the 1970s, the European leagues have been where the game has most evolved. Over the last three decades, since the rebranding of the Champions League in 1992, the pattern of innovation has continued unabated. Michael Cox investigates and analyses the major leagues around Europe, demonstrating the impact each has made on how the game is now played. The result is a fascinating assessment of football in 2019, packed full of wonderful anecdotes and insights into the international language of football. This book provides a comprehensive overview of modern European football, laying bare just how much a nation's unique identity can shape the game. With its unique blend of analysis and entertainment, Zonal Marking is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and development of the beautiful game.
