Wilson details how certain tactical approaches spread around the world: How the South Americans shrugged off the colonial order to add their own finesse to the game, How the Europeans harnessed individual technique and built it into a team structure, How the game once featured five strikers up front now a lone striker is not uncommon, Why the Scots introduced passing into the game, And in this new edition, Wilson provides a definitive understanding of the genius of Barcelona, whose innovations on the field (hard pressing, the inter-movement of players, a focus on the retention of possession with close passing, and a team composed of players who grew up together) have made it the team to both beat and emulate.
Beloved by soccer fans and used by coaches around the world, Inverting the Pyramid explains the tactical development and innovations of soccer, showing how everything from geography and history to culture and politics affected the game's development. The fully revised tenth anniversary edition of the book regarded as the best ever on soccer tactics. Jonathan Wilson is the editor of the Blizzard and a freelance writer for the Guardian, World Soccer and Sports Illustrated.
