"There are many ways to watch a soccer match. You can watch like a spectator, following the ball. You can watch like a manager, following the players. But nobody watches soccer quite like Ruud Gullit. Having spent his life in soccer--first as star player turned trainer, then as manager, and finally as commentator--he's watched the sport from every angle, and now he's put his unique perspective into a complete, essential, and opinionated guide to the world's most popular sport. Covering everything--from formations to corner kicks to influencing the referees, and the importance of a good national anthem--How to Watch Soccer will change the way even the most die-hard fan watches the beautiful game."--Page [4] of cover.
