书籍简介

“这是我读过的关于足球的十分精彩的书”——丹尼尔·芬克尔斯坦

“引人入胜且具有教育意义。一本令人愉快且内容丰富的书”——肯尼·达格利什爵士

“值得在伟大的现代足球书籍中占有一席之地”——山姆·华莱士，《每日电讯报》首席足球作家

由数据革命的主要创造者之一伊恩·格雷厄姆撰写的关于席卷现代足球世界的数据革命的内部报道。

2012 年至 2023 年期间，伊恩·格雷厄姆担任利物浦足球俱乐部的研究总监。他的任期恰逢该俱乐部自 1980 年代以来成功的时期，包括赢得 2020 年英超联赛冠军——这是利物浦在痛苦的三十年后获得联赛冠军。

格雷厄姆披露了过去十年中俱乐部关键时刻的一些令人着迷的数据，从 2015 年任命尤尔根·克洛普担任主教练到 2017 年签下穆罕默德·萨拉赫。在此过程中，他分享了对现代足球的开创性见解，包括一个大部分时间闭门进行的赛季如何改变了我们对主队优势的理解，或者为什么 GOAT（史上伟大的球员）可能不是你想象的那样。而且，在一场越来越被少数精英主导的比赛中，格雷厄姆为未来规划了一条道路，精通数据的竞争者总能找到优势。

“这是对利物浦重塑的引人入胜、诙谐且极具洞察力的描述，也是对现代足球内部运作的清晰而详细的解释。没有人比伊恩·格雷厄姆更有资格讲述这两个故事，他是俱乐部和这项运动近代史上（低调）重要的人物之一”——《预期进球》作者、《纽约时报》足球记者罗里·史密斯

“足球数据革命从未被如此出色地从内部描述过。”——《足球黑客》作者克里斯托夫·比尔曼

“如何赢得英超联赛”以一本书的价格为您提供三本书：一本关于困扰欧洲足球的所有愚蠢低效率的书，一本关于如何利用跳出框框的思维帮助您将儿时俱乐部变成世界上精彩的球队的书，以及一本关于足球实际运作方式的书。如果他真的想，伊恩可以很容易地让我失业。”——Ryan O’Hanlon，《净收益》作者兼 ESPN 特约撰稿人

'The best book on football I have ever read' Daniel Finkelstein

'Fascinating and educational. An enjoyable and informative read' Sir Kenny Dalglish

'Deserves a place among the great modern books on football' Sam Wallace, chief football writer, Telegraph

______________________________

The insider account of the data revolution that has swept through the modern football world written by one of its key architects, Ian Graham.

Between 2012 and 2023, Ian Graham worked as Liverpool FC's Director of Research. His tenure coincided with the club’s greatest period of success since the 1980s, including winning the Premier League in 2020 – Liverpool’s first league title after an agonising three decades.

Here for the first time, Graham reveals the fascinating data that informed some of the club’s most pivotal moments of the past decade, from the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015 to the signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017. Along the way, he shares groundbreaking insight into the modern game, including how a season largely played behind closed doors transformed our understanding of home team advantage, or why the GOAT (greatest of all time) might not be who you think. And, in a game that is increasingly dominated by an elite few, Graham charts a path for the future where a data-savvy competitor will always find the edge.

'A fascinating, witty and remarkably insightful account of Liverpool's reinvention and a clear-eyed, detailed explanation of the inner workings of modern football. Nobody is better qualified to tell either of those stories than Ian Graham, who stands as one of the most (quietly) significant figures in the recent history of the club and the sport' Rory Smith, author of Expected Goals and Chief Soccer Correspondent, New York Times

'Never before has the data revolution in football been described so well from the inside.' Christoph Biermann, author of Football Hackers

‘How to Win the Premier League gives you three books for the price of one: a book about all of the silly inefficiencies plaguing European football, a book about what it's like to be empowered to use outside-the-box thinking to help turn your boyhood club into the best team in the world, and a book about how football actually works. If he really wanted to, Ian could easily put me out of a job.’

Ryan O’Hanlon, author of Net Gains and staff writer ESPN
