En el siglo V a.C. se empezó a jugar al fútbol en China. En 2017 se escribió el primer libro sobre creatividad e innovación en el fútbol. La presente obra incluye historias, anécdotas, lecciones, predicciones futuristas y personalidades como entrenadores, jugadores, preparadores físicos y dirigentes deportivos. Aquellos que busquen liderar los escenarios del fútbol en los próximos años tendrán que adueñarse de nuevas formas de pensar, entrenar, motivar, comunicar y hacer marketing. La diferenciación pasará por hacer lo que nadie hace (crear e innovar).

Las páginas de este libro recogen las historias de siete grandes figuras del fútbol. No se trata, sin embargo, de un libro técnico o histórico sobre el fútbol, sus estrellas y sus triunfos.

Los protagonistas de las historias de este libro son: El papa Francisco, aficionado y exjugador de fútbol, Alfredo di Stéfano, Javier Zanetti, Francisco "Paco" Gento, Amancio Amaro, Emilio Butragueño, Andrés Escobar.

A Woman's Game traces this arc of changing attitudes, increasing professionalism, and international growth.

Mas como contar de forma resumida uma história cujos primeiros registros datam de cerca de 2.500 anos atrás?

Roberto Baggio non è una figura scontata: come il protagonista di un romanzo, è un groviglio di volontà e caso, un uomo incredibilmente determinato e allo stesso tempo in balìa degli eventi. Come se tutti i suoi sforzi servissero a opporsi al destino e allo stesso tempo a compierlo (uno dei tanti paradossi con cui probabilmente il buddismo lo ha aiutato a convivere). Stefano Piri ripercorre la vita e la carriera di Baggio a partire dalla sua magica apparizione a Vicenza, quando non ha ancora vent'anni e sembra un angelo spietato che inchioda gli avversari a terra.
