THE TACTICAL HISTORY OF THE WORLD CUP - VOL. 1

First book of the Gli Storici series

The story of the World Cup told through the voices of the protagonists, without filters or mediations.
Thanks to Gianfilippo Riontino 's infinite archive we were able to consult magazines and periodicals from all over the planet, highlighting the coaches' analyses, to technically and tactically rewrite every World Cup of the modern era, therefore starting from 1974.

It is the Technical Stewards, as well as exceptional observers, coaches and high-level players, who tell us what the new features of the field, the trends, the changes have been in a proposal increasingly worthy of specific in-depth analysis.

Historical sources allow us to travel through time and rediscover exactly contemporary football thoughts, finally putting aside old clichés that have often accompanied his story but which have not always had a real relationship with what happened on the pitch. Now we really know what, for example, Menotti, Bilardo, Telê Santana, Bearzot, Michels, Schön, Zagallo or Happel think, and who they reported to the microphones at that moment, we know in short what the World Championships really said.
