We talk to Michael Cox about his book ‘Zonal Marking: The Making Of Modern European Football’, which looks at how each major country (besides England) contributed to the evolution of the game, including the Arrigo Sacchi Trapattoni wars, why Catenaccio was overrated, why Italian culture doesn’t fit with their football culture, from Dutch totality to French speed to Spanish systems, to the rise of the individual, to Jose’s blockbuster impact, and on to where we are today with Klopp and Guardiola setting the tone.
Plus there’s rating Zidane as a player, arrogance as a compliment and Klopp slams Barcelona.
