Description

In his national bestseller, "Soccernomics," Simon Kuper pioneered a new way of looking at soccer, the world's most popular game, through his witty and meticulous use of data. In "Soccer Men," Kuper explores the heart and soul of the sport by getting up close and personal with soccer's greatest players and coaches. An inquiry into the genius and hubris of the modern game, "Soccer Men" details the lives of international stars such as Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho, Josep Guardiola, Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, and David Beckham, describing their upbringings, the soccer cultures they grew up in, the way they play or coach, and the baggage they bring to their relationships at work.
