James Pearce: Walk On, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The definitive story of Liverpool's footballing renaissance - and sudden unravelling - under Arne Slot, and the dawn of the Iraola era

Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool FC with little fanfare but a burning ambition. High drama and era-defining results would follow; unprecedented achievements, and pain too. A Premier League title in year one gave way to a turbulent title defence, and a dismissal that brought his reign to an abrupt end. But what was it like from the inside?

James Pearce, Liverpool correspondent for The Athletic, draws on exclusive interviews and unparalleled behind-the-scenes insight to tell an unmissable story: of a season and a title triumph like no other, of the turmoil that followed, and of the new beginning now taking shape at Anfield under Andoni Iraola.

From Slot's beginnings to Liverpool's deft use of data analysis; from the thrill of turning-point matches to the backroom negotiations that ended one era and began another, Pearce retells Liverpool's dramatic period after Jürgen Klopp's departure in enthralling detail and at an addictive pace.

Walk On is the book every Liverpool fan needs to understand how Slot transformed the team into Premier League champions, why it all came apart so quickly, and what Iraola must now do to rebuild.
