Description

Seeing a falling star, sometime in the 1970s, a small child made a wish: to one day meet his football hero, Johan Cruyff. The good Fates who were eavesdropping made sure in the following decades to fulfill not only this desire but many more, so that as he grew up, he could see and talk to all the great names that passed through football!

From Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, and Ronaldinho to Messi, Ronaldo, and Van Dijk, Christos Sotirakopoulos met almost all those who wrote modern football history. In the pages of the book, the conversations he had with Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep, Mourinho, Klopp, and Luis Menotti, Fernando Santos, Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan, Sir Stanley Matthews, Paolo Rossi, and Hristo Stoichkov come to life...

He spoke, three times in fact, with George Best, Robbie Rensenbrink opened his heart to him, and Roberto Baggio and Denis Law confided beautiful stories to him... The only one who has eluded him? Cristiano Ronaldo, who, however, is not missing from the book, which is an ode to all those who turned football into the best secondary thing in our lives!

    This is an extremely enjoyable book that manages to keep the reader's attention throughout the entire reading. Each interview, whether from football players or coaches, takes up only a few pages but effectively captures the personality and opinions of the interviewees with a concise expression. These interviews have been published in older magazines or broadcast on radio shows, and for the generation after 2000, they remain unknown. Mr. Sotirakopoulos has a unique ability in writing, as his language is so vivid and expressive that it draws you in and creates the feeling that you are right beside him, enjoying the conversation together. Football lovers will find a treasure in this book, while even those who do not share the same passion for the sport will surely discover it after reading and will be swept away by the intensity and magic of football.

    Lightweight and enjoyable book. Few pages dedicated to each interview. Most of them are interviews that have been published in old magazines or on the radio. Decent book to learn about great moments of historical figures in world football!
