Inverting the Pyramid: The History of Football Tactics (Jonathan Wilson)

Chapter 10: Catenaccio

Wilson analyzes the evolution of catenaccio, a style of soccer that features defensive rigidity and the libero, or sweeper.

Even though Wilson gives a nod to Karl Rappan in Switzerland and the Italian Nereo Rocco, most of the chapter is devoted to Helenio Herrara's use of the system.
