John Foot Calcio: A History of Italian Football
Fourth Estate 235296 London 2006 0007175744 / 9780007175741 Trade Paperback Near Fine Condition "Calcio" is John Foot's love letter to Italian football and its absorbing history. "Calcio" tells the story of Italian football from its origins in the 1890s to the present day. It takes us through a history of great players and teams, of style, passion and success, but also of violence, cynicism, catenaccio tactics and corruption. We meet the personalities that have shaped this history - from the Italian heroes to the foreigners that failed, the model professionals to the mavericks. "Calcio" evokes the triumphs (the 1982 World Cup victory) and the tragedies (Meroni, the 'Italian George Best', killed by his number one fan), set against a backdrop of paranoia and intrigue, in a country where the referee is seen as corrupt until proven otherwise. "Calcio" is no longer a game. It is sometimes difficult to define it as a sport. It is certainly big business and a fanatical civic religion. There is no moral code here. Winners are always right, losers always wrong. This history of Italian football - the first written in English - is a mix of serious analysis and comic storytelling, with vivid descriptions of games, goals, dives, missed penalties, riots and scandals in the richest and toughest league in the world 565 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Sport::Soccer; Sports & Pastimes; ISBN: 0007175744. ISBN/EAN: 9780007175741. Inventory No: 235296. Paperback

Louis Lourenco Jose Mourinho: Made in Portugal
David Lewis Media 243935 2004 0954684338 / 9780954684334 Softcover Very Good Condition In just a few years, Jose Mourinho has proved himself to be one of the most successful and controversial of football managers. He arrived in London in the summer of 2004, to take on the role of the manager at Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's Chelsea FC. His impact on English football was immediate, with his unmistakeable self-confidence, style, drive and ambition. Now he has moved on to Inter Milan where, once again, he has become the focus of media attention. But how did his career start? What led him to becoming one of the great enigmas of World Football? This fascinating book charts his rise from relatively humble beginnings as assistant coach to Sir Bobby Robson, to become the most sought-after club manager in Europe. Readers will gain an insight into Mourinho's management skills, as well as his whole footballing philosophy, and his approach to motivating his players. Mourinho himself writes of his move to Roman Abramovich's Chelsea FC and of approaches by other clubs; his 'mind games' with Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United are knocked out of Europe; and his fears for his personal safety and that of his family after receiving a death threat on the eve of what should have been the biggest night of his life. Long-term family friend, Portuguese journalist Luis Lourenco guides us through the formative years in Mourinho's coaching career, as he returns to Portugal from Barcelona at the turn of the millennium and embarks on the remarkable four-year journey which will lead him to Chelsea FC. A journey which includes short-lived yet turbulent spells at Portuguese giants Benfica and minnows Uniao de Leiria, and culminates in a night of unforgettable glory for FC Porto and Jose Mourinho as they are crowned Champions of Europe. 223 pages. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Biography; Biography & Autobiography; Sport::Soccer. ISBN: 0954684338.
