As seen in Ted Lasso

The fifteenth anniversary edition, fully revised and updated, of Jonathan Wilson's modern classic.

In the modern classic, Jonathan Wilson pulls apart the finer details of the world's game, tracing the global history of tactics, from modern pioneers right back to the beginning, when chaos reigned. Along the way, he looks at the lives of great players and thinkers who shaped the sport, and probes why the English, in particular, have proved themselves unwilling to grapple with the abstract.

Fully revised and updated, this fifteenth-anniversary edition analyses the evolution of modern international football, including the 2022 World Cup, charting the influence of the great Spanish, German and Portuguese tacticians of the last decade, whilst pondering the effects of football's increased globalisation and commercialisation.

    They laugh on the Guardian FW podcast about the challenge of trying to complete this book. Time for me to have a go! Thanks OP

    I don't know if that's kinda alluded to, in Ted Lasso, as I'm pretty sure Beard is still reading it in Season 3!

    What I found remarkable in reading elsewhere, was that it was only relatively recently (1950s or so) that players would routinely train with the ball, rather than just run and do PE type exercises between matches.
