About this listen
A mazy dribble through the recent history of European soccer, showing how shifting styles and influence have shaped the game.
In the early 1990s, the Dutch footballing philosophy was worshiped across the continent. Then the baton passed to the Italians, who clearly boasted Europe's strongest league. But when France started winning everything at international level its national academy became the template for others, until suddenly, almost out of nowhere, Europe's most revered player and manager both hailed from Portugal. Next, Barcelona and Spain won everything during a very obvious four-year period of dominance, before tiki-taka's decline meant Bayern and Germany took control. Finally, Europe's most successful coaches found themselves competing in England, introducing a brilliant cacophony of styles to the Premier League.
Zonal Marking is a glorious travelogue through soccer's triumphant styles and characters.

Must listen for fans of the game
This book puts the game in the context of styles telling the history. The detail is mind blowing. Feels like the thesis of football strategy and their history. Narration is perfectly cast.

Great book
It may seem like a book on the modern history of European football, but it’s really Pep’s biography.
