Eleştirmen yorumları

Offers an intriguing counterpoint (Donald McRae)
Entertaining and insightful
Gullit has all the skills. An even better player than Maradona (George Best)
Ruud Gullit was the best player in the world. His sheer energy could create chances (David Winner)
He manages to convey the sense that football is really quite simple if you're a genius like him, but without actually being annoying. A rare talent

The title suggests this book will teach you how to watch football. There are a few useful nuggets of advice but Ruud spends most of the book A) Writing/bragging about his own skill as a footballer and manager B) Talking about Dutch footballers/teams C) Talking about European football. As a British fan I wasn't familiar with many of the players he mentions.

Adam James read the book. The performance felt rushed, like James wanted to finish as quickly as possible. His gravelly voice was irritating. At points James tried to add gravitas but his voice just became even more irritating.

Misleading Title

The first 1/3 of the book is more of an autography, almost as if he has to justify why he's entitled to give his opinion throughout the rest of it. And he doesn't hold back on that. For example, he loves Dutch football, but gets frustrated by it, rues the dying art of the old fashioned centre back, thinks more technology involvement to support referees isn't a good thing. I don't agree with everything he says, but his experience and talent makes it difficult to argue with him. He also analyses the pros and cons of different formations, managers, clubs, and nations. It's a fascinating insight into the mind of one football's all time greats and, agree with him or not, it's worth a listen.

Very good listen and some wonderful insight into the game really enjoyed it. It gives you a little but of a look behind the curtains of whats really going on out on the field. Ruud should have been a much better manager than he has been.

Very good listen

I'm not sure if this provides any extensive tactical insight beyond Ruud Gullits career, it's a workmanlike and brief look into his favourite moments and is a great place to start if you want to know more of an overview of the game. An easy read.

A worthy enough trip down memory lane...

This audiobook is badly titled as it's mostly a collection of observations of how the author himself played and managed. It's structure is really random and there is a lot of repetition.

The narrator makes a real mouthful of the pronunciations, and I found this book quite a slog in the end.

Disappointing
