I know you shouldn’t judge a book by the name on the cover
but I love pizza and have been to Northern Italy.
Rick Dockery played football in America in a top club as
quarterback, but after a bad game, he was booted out of the team, which lead to
him having an unwanted reputation with other teams and they didn’t want to know
him. With help of his agent, he ended up travelling to Italy where he secured a
position in a smaller Italian football team where they paid the team in free
meals, although Ricks agent negotiated to get him a salary as well. It was a
job playing football and he loves playing the game, but it didn’t come close to
that of the US football league.
However, his love for the game isn’t the only thing that keeps
him in Italy. He meets a girl, Livvy, and they talk about exploring Italy. When
the football season is ending, he gets an offer to play for more money but
because of injury and after Livvy and Rick has finished exploring, he has to
decide whether to stay.
This book is good at describing the way the game of football
is played, which is great if you like football and have a real interest in the
game, but if you are like me and you just want to read about the place and the
characters, it can seem to be a bit on the technical side in parts.
I would recommend this book if you really like football, it
is generally a good read
