Zonal Marking - Michael Cox
This isn't about the title Zonal Marking.
It is an excellent book though, similar to Inverting The Pyramid.
It starts with the KNVB, and the competing Cruyff and Van Goal schools of football philosophy for hegemony at Ajax Amsterdam, Barcelona and the KNVB.
It progresses to the dominance of Italy, then France, Portugal, Spain, Germany and the recent emergence of England with a cacophony of imported European styles.
