DescriptionA mazy dribble through the recent history of European soccer, showing how shifting styles and influence have shaped the game. In the early 1990s, the Dutch footballing philosophy was worshipped across the continent. Then the baton passed to the Italians, who clearly boasted Europes strongest league. But when France started winning everything at international level its national academy became the template for others, until suddenly, almost out of nowhere, Europes most revered player and manager both hailed from Portugal. Next, Barcelona and Spain won everything during a very obvious four-year period of dominance, before tiki-takas decline meant Bayern and Germany took control. Finally, Europes most successful coaches found themselves competing in England, introducing a brilliant cacophony of styles to the Premier League.
