Description Carlo Ancelotti: The Beautiful Games of an Ordinary Genius by Carlo Ancelotti, Alessandro Alciato, Paolo Maldini (Preface) 3.93 of 5 stars 3.93 · rating details · 99 ratings · 7 reviews The entertaining, revealing, and controversial bestselling autobiography of one of the most respected figures in the world of soccer. Carlo Ancelotti is one of only six people to have won the Champions League—European soccer’s most coveted trophy—as both player and coach. After a successful career playing for several of the most important teams in Italy—and for the Italian national team—Ancelotti went on to become one of the most acclaimed and outspoken coaches in European football, managing Italian giants Parma, Juventus, and Milan before moving to Chelsea, one of the Premier League’s most successful clubs, in 2009. The book moves from anecdotes of his life growing up in Reggio Emilia to stories of his time playing among the best footballers in the world. With a characteristic mixture of sharp insight and humor, Ancelotti explores the differences between the Italian and the English games, shares his thoughts on soccer’s future with the MLS in America, and reflects on the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. With a preface by the legendary former captain of the Italian national team, Paolo Maldini, this book is at once a tactician’s bible from one of the world’s most celebrated footballing minds, the fascinating story of an ordinary man reaching great heights, and in part a revealing tell-all from an outspoken insider in the cut-throat world of European soccer. The perfect book for anyone with a passion for the beautiful game. This is a must read especially for A.C. Milan fans. It tells you insight about Milan and what it means to become a Milan fan. Apart from that this is book is a page-turner. There are so many interesting stories and I have to mustered my strength not to laugh out like mad man. This book is not about football tactics, management or backroom negotiations. It's a story about a man who has win so much as a player and as a manager. My only disappointment is that the cover picture should not be him with Chelsea shirt because (1) there's not much chelsea-related story and (2) ultimately, he has identified himself so strongly with A.C. Milan, the cover should be him with Milan shirt. In the end, buy the book and enjoy the ride. Sharing Widget |
