About this book
Definitive story of one of the most extraordinary periods in the history of the Italian national football team, contextualised with a journey through Italy's footballing past.
When it comes to international football, Italy dines at the finest tables. Their failure to qualify for consecutive World Cups in 2018 and 2022 sent shockwaves through the footballing world. Yet, incongruously sandwiched between the two failures was success in the European Championship against the backdrop of a world grappling with one of the deadliest pandemics on record. What on earth was going on?
Delving into Italian football's past to make sense of the present, this compelling book includes:
- In-depth analysis of one of the most fascinating periods in the history of the Italian national football team
- Stories about how football began in Italy and the important part played by its ports
- How the Italian national team was transformed by one man and the journeys to glory experienced in the 1930s
- How the Azzurri stayed relevant for many decades despite the tragedy that befell them in 1949
Cinque Anni tells the tale of how it all happened – the agony and ecstasy, the tears and the laughter. It's a must-read not only for fans of Italian football, but for anyone fascinated by the fine line that can separate winning and losing.
