Juventus. Historia w biało-czarnych barwach

by Adam Digby

La Juve Siamo Noi! Juve to my!

Historia Juventusu, jednego z najlepszych klubów świata i jednego z najstarszych na Półwyspie Apenińskim, to tak naprawdę opowieść o dziejach włoskiej piłki. Znany jako La Vecchia Signora (Stara Dama) klub to perfekcyjna mieszanka stylu, kunsztu i umiejętności z bezwzględną determinacją i wolą zwycięstwa.

W swojej książce Adam Digby przybliża najważniejsze momenty w blisko 120-letniej historii Juve, przedstawia sylwetki klubowych legend i piłkarzy, którzy sprawili, że o Juventusie mówi się nieprzerwanie jako o najlepszym włoskim zespole.

W tej opowieści autor opisuje wielkie triumfy, jak i bolesne porażki, a także porusza jeden z najtrudniejszych tematów: degradację do Serie B, odebranie tytułów mistrzowskich wywalczonych na początku XXI w. oraz mozolny powrót Bianconerich na szczyt.

To prawdziwa biblia każdego, kto uważa się za kibica Starej Damy!

Enjoyable book.

Very disappointing! A recount of all Juve matches since 1900, so boring. Lack originality and behind the scene stories. Writing style is not engaging and sometimes it is obvious that author is trying hard to sound original. I don’t recommend spending any $ on this book.

The writer is a bit biased: his tone of voice is, sometimes, that of a fan. The closer we get to the present, the more he zooms in, so that (by 2010) it's almost a chapter for every season. I tend to like the 'timeless' approach more. Digby is a very good storyteller, though: he really makes you understand the essence of Juve, he makes the club culture almost tangible and he makes you understand that the story of Juventus is in fact the story of Italian football as a whole. I've learned a lot.

It's a joyful read for all the fans of the Old Lady. Pretty comprehensive overview of the club's history form it's mere beginning to nowadays. It contains a lot of interesting trivia, like the fact that Juventus helped out certain ex players in their business ventures, covered their medical bills etc. I wish there was more of that though.
Also, it would be great if all those stellar names and achievements were complemented with pictures of them, further enriching the book. Fino all fine, great read.

Excellently written sports biography. Flows very well when names and statistics can often bog down sporting books. A treat for not just all Juventini, but lovers of Italian football

Loved this book and will likely read it again. Mr. Digby does a great job tracing the struggles and triumphs of the best football club in the world. The book opens on November 1st 1897 and ends with the signing of Allegri as manager from AC Milan in 2014. This book made me truly appreciate Juventus and 'lo stile Juve'. A must-read for all Juventini.
