書籍簡介

★★ 阿根廷足球史詩級鉅著，深刻揭示“阿根廷之魂”

★★ 梅諾蒂、比拉爾多、黃健翔 聯合推薦

★★ 經典，權威，喚醒幾代人的經典記憶，中國阿迷的書

★★ 阿根廷，一個離開足球，歷史和社會都不再完整的國家

★★ 讀懂阿根廷足球，你就會懂得魔幻現實主義、博爾赫斯、探戈，以及馬拉多納和梅西

阿根廷的靈魂是個謎——追逐夢想幾乎註定要失敗，而追逐本身也要付出代價。唯有在足球領域，阿根廷表現出的潛力才未被辜負，或許正因如此，阿根廷人嗜球如命。

白銀之地阿根廷從一開始就只存在於傳説之中，是現實無法抵達的理想彼岸。

馬拉多納、梅西、迪斯蒂法諾……每一代阿根廷人當中，都會冒出一位耀眼的足球天才。也許這是因為阿根廷獨有的足球生活氣質、足球理論和神話。一部阿根廷足球史，就是一部激情四溢而又跌宕起伏的歷史，唯美與務實交替，功利與守則撕扯。那些天才的球員和教練，像是從魔幻現實主義小説中走出來，給世界演繹了一場場卓越不凡的世紀夢想。

《髒臉天使》是英國著名記者講述的權威阿根廷足球史。足球，不僅僅意味着成功與激情。在阿根廷，足球就是政治，足球就是文化，足球就是人生。

這是一部權威著作——兼有史詩的宏大敍述和細緻入微的情節。《髒臉天使》不僅是阿根廷足球的歷史，它還是阿根廷的歷史。——湯姆·霍蘭德

喜歡足球的會喜歡巴西，熱愛足球的卻熱愛阿根廷。要想了解世界上最重要也是最令人着迷的足球文化，這本書是之物，非常引人入勝。——羅裏·史密斯

The definitive history of Argentinian football from the award-winning author of Inverting the Pyramid

Alfredo Di Stefano, Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistuta, Juan Roman Riquelme, Lionel Messi . . . Argentina has produced some of the greatest footballers of all time. But the rich, volatile history of Argentinian football is made up of both the sublime and the ruthlessly pragmatic. Jonathan Wilson, having lived there on and off during the last decade, is ideally placed to chart the sport's development in a country that, perhaps more than any other, lives and breathes football, its theories and its myths.

'Simultaneously epic and intimate, this is a magisterial work: not just a history of Argentinian football, but a history of Argentina' Tom Holland

'People who like football like Brazil; people who love it love Argentina. This is essential, enthralling reading about the world's most intriguing, most important football culture' Rory Smith
