L'anti-guide du foot

Synopsis of L'anti-guide du foot

«L'anti-guide du foot» is an anti-guide to soccer by Guillaume Evin, published by Dunod in paperback (96 pages, in French).

Journalist Guillaume Evin leaves biographies and tactical manuals behind to answer questions almost nobody asks: why goalposts have those dimensions, what goes through a player's head when heading the ball, or whether halftime is for going to the bathroom. In this way, the book debunks received ideas and proposes a playful way of looking at soccer.

Published on April 4, 2018; the subtitle of the work is «Ce que les autres livres ne vous disent pas !».

For soccer fans who prefer curiosities and anecdotes to the usual biographies or tactical analyses.
