Before you is a book entirely dedicated to football – the great sport that leaves neither children nor adults indifferent. Its primary task is to explain in detail and convey to every young reader the philosophy and spirit of the...
most popular game on the planet. This edition encompasses all that modern football has achieved throughout its history – from its roots in ancient times, its emergence in Russia, to the present day.
The theoretical part of the book covers the main aspects of the game itself: the basic rules and special nuances, many of which are known only to professionals, basic tactical schemes, types of kicks, ways to execute them, and much more. Importantly, these rules are explained through specific events in history, for example: why the “golden goal” has faded into oblivion, how the away goal rule worked, and why a throw-in can be more dangerous than a corner kick.
The technical sections are a treasure trove of practical advice for beginner footballers: they will learn how to perform curling and other types of kicks, receive the ball with their chest, execute the “Cruyff turn” or the “Marseille roulette,” choose positions on the field, juggle the ball, read the referee's signals. The book is filled with practical tips and hints for young players and explains complex football terms. In addition, it features a gallery of legendary players and coaches who have left their mark in football history, detailing the rise of the greatest football clubs to the top of the podium.
Major world tournaments that gather millions of spectators in football arenas have not been overlooked. All this is accompanied by unique photographs capturing the best moments of this fantastic game.
This book not only imparts knowledge about a specific sport to boys – it inspires them to step onto the field, as football has been and remains the most beautiful game that captivates and leads a multitude of followers and devoted fans.
