Cristiano Ronaldo - Biografin
Den efterlängtade biografin om världens bästa fotbollsspelare!Vinnare i kategorin Årets fotbollsbok på Cross Sports Book Awards!Cristiano Ronaldo är känd över hela planeten som den portugisiske fotbollsspelaren som är största stjärnan i spanska storklubben Real Madrid och kapten för det portugisiska landslaget. När Ronaldo flyttade från Manchester United till Real Madrid blev övergången historisk som den dyraste någonsin, med en transfersumma på nästan en miljard kronor. Ronaldos kontrakt med Real Madrid gör honom till en av de bäst betalda spelarna i världen.Ronaldo var den förste spelaren att vinna alla de fyra viktigaste utmärkelserna för Årets fotbollsspelare i England och har röstats fram som Premier Leagues bäste spelare någonsin. 2008, 2013 & 2014 vann han Ballon d Or, som världens bäste fotbollsspelare. Han är den ende spelaren i fotbollshistorien som sex säsonger i rad gjort minst 50 mål. I september 2015 blev Ronaldo tidernas främste målskytt i UEFA Champions League och i oktober samma år blev han Real Madrids främste målgörare genom tiderna.Han är med andra ord ett världsfenomen. Ändå är väldigt lite känt om människan Ronaldo. Guillem Balague har skrivit den både insiktsfulla och avslöjande biografin Cristiano Ronaldo.I svensk översättning av Jens Ahlberg.GUILLEM BALAGUE är expert på spansk fotboll för brittiska Sky Sports och skriver regelbundet om internationell fotboll i The Times. Han är också den bästsäljande författaren till de stora biografierna om Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi och Pep Guardiola.»Han är bäst i världen, ja. Det har aldrig funnits en spelare som Ronaldo och kommer troligtvis aldrig någon som Ronaldo igen.« | JOSÉ MOURINHO
Rise Of The Villans
Featuring exclusive interviews with Unai Emery, Monchi, Ollie Watkins, John McGinn, Pau Torres and more, this is the behind-the-scenes account of Unai Emery's Aston Villa revolution, from the award-winning Sunday Times bestseller Guillem Balague. In October 2022, Unai Emery was appointed manager of Aston Villa. Despite being one of England's most historic football clubs, Emery was taking charge of a team in turmoil and hovering above the relegation zone in the Premier League. But in his very first match, Villa produced a statement victory, deftly beating Manchester United 3-1 at Villa Park. It was a sign of things to come. Guillem Balague has had unparalleled access to Unai Emery, his backroom staff and the Aston Villa squad ever since the Spaniard was appointed manager in 2022. From Emery's early years growing up in the Basque region to becoming one of the most exciting coaches managing today, Rise of the Villans reveals the inner workings of Emery's psyche. Featuring exclusive interviews with Emery himself, as well as key players such as Villa captain John McGinn and star striker Ollie Watkins, it charts the journeys of both Emery and Aston Villa over the last three decades, offering a comprehensive and compelling narrative of why they are the perfect match. Exploring Emery's management of the Midlands side, the book outlines how he has transformed them into an exciting side renowned for their direct passing, high energy and devastating counter attacks. After a 7th placed finish in his first season in charge, Emery's Villa continued their fine form in the 2023-24 season, finishing 4th and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in over four decades. With the Holte End roaring into life as Villa Park welcomed the return of European football's most prestigious club competition, it was clear for all to see: Unai Emery had awoken the sleeping giant.
