Description

The best-selling guide to today’s most exciting players, completely revised and updated

Here are the best of the best: the iconic forwards Ronaldo, Neymar, and Suárez; the legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer; and perhaps the greatest player of our time, Lionel Messi. This lively and accessible book features short biographies of some thirty athletes in all: who they are, where they come from, and what they have accomplished.


 


With the same action-packed photos and colorful graphics that fans have come to expect from the critically acclaimed World Soccer Legends series, Stars of World Soccer shows what it takes to be at the top of the game.

Praise for Stars of World Soccer: Second Edition

These

books address a largely unfilled niche: short, highly readable biographies of

contemporary soccer stars. The texts are printed over and around voluminous,

richly printed photographs and include many pages of scoring statistics and

league standings, awards, even a QR code to direct readers to a video of

Zlatan’s 40-yard bicycle-kick goal in a 2012 match against England. Frequent

references to great players of the past-Maradona, Pelé, Cruyff, Eusebio-lend

the books a welcome historical context.... These entries are excellent….
