Scopri le sorprendenti regole nascoste del calcio in The Numbers Game di Chris Anderson e David Sally *Completamente aggiornato con un nuovo capitolo sulla Coppa del Mondo* Il calcio è sempre stato un gioco di numeri: 4-4-2, il grande numero 9 e 3 punti per una vittoria. Ma cosa succederebbe se fino ad ora ci fossimo concentrati sui numeri sbagliati? E se i numeri che contano davvero, quelli che detengono la chiave per vincere le partite, fossero in realtà 2,66, 5 stelle 50/50 e 0 > 1? E se gli allenatori facessero solo una differenza del 15%? E se il Chelsea avesse dovuto acquistare Darren Bent? In questo libro incisivo e sfatatore di miti, Chris Anderson, ex portiere diventato guru delle statistiche calcistiche, e David Sally, ex lanciatore di baseball diventato economista comportamentale, dimostrano che ogni briciolo di conoscenza che possiamo raccogliere può aiutarci ad amare il calcio e a capirlo ancora di più. Scoprirai perché parare un goal è più prezioso che segnarne uno, perché i calci d'angolo dovrebbero essere corti e perché è meglio migliorare il tuo giocatore peggiore che comprare una superstar. Non giocherai mai più, o guarderai mai più, una partita di football nello stesso modo. The Numbers Game è una lettura essenziale per gli appassionati di football di tutto il mondo e piacerà anche ai lettori che hanno amato Moneyball e Freakonomics.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Discover football's astonishing hidden rules in The Numbers Game by Chris Anderson and David Sally *Fully updated with a new World Cup chapter* Football has always been a numbers game: 4-4-2, the big number 9 and 3 points for a win. But what if up until now we've been focusing on the wrong numbers? What if the numbers that really matter, the ones that hold the key to winning matches, are actually 2.66, 53.4, 50/50, and 0 > 1? What if managers only make a 15% difference? What if Chelsea should have bought Darren Bent? In this incisive, myth-busting book, Chris Anderson, former goalkeeper turned football statistics guru, and David Sally, former baseball pitcher turned behavioural economist, show that every shred of knowledge we can gather can help us to love football and understand it even more. You'll discover why stopping a goal is more valuable than scoring one, why corners should be taken short, and why it is better to improve your worst player than to buy a superstar. You'll never play, or watch, a game of football in quite the same way again. The Numbers Game is essential reading for football fans everywhere and will also appeal to readers who loved Moneyball and Freakonomics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005785050
