published by Backpage, The Good Guys, The Made Guys, who published my two books on

Barso and Spain and who also thank the

Lord for them produce this podcast. Football 2.0 how the world's best play the

modern game by Grant Wall is in all good bookstores.

What does that mean to you? Well, Grant Wall sits down with superstars such as Manuel Neuer, Vincent Company and Chabi Alonso.

And thanks to extensive interviews with players in every key position on and of the pitch,

he explains the technical and tactical revolution which has transformed modern football.

This book is packed with insights that only those at the very top of the sport can offer.

In the words of my good friend Gabriel Marcochi, Grant Wall is an expert

storyteller who has managed to get some of the best in the world to share the secrets of their

trade. So big interview listeners, that's your World Cup reading sorted.
