Just read on his Instagram page that his book 'Combattare du uomo' will be officially presented on April 19th in the Mondadori Megastore at the Duomo Square of Milan. Massimo Moratti and Javier Zanetti will also be there.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a print run in English?

Not a snowball's chance in hell. I don't think even Zanetti's biography was translated, hence I don't think Cordoba's will make it.

This kind of shit really pisses me off. Why on earth don't they run a print in English ??? They've lost a large chunk of the market share by doing this. Do they simply not realise that there are non Italian supporters ?! And that despite nationality, quite a lot of people can read English ??!!

Fuck me.

It's weird Zanetti's book didn't get translated. I've seen plenty of calcio-related books in English.

Is he Murillos agent? He was asked recently about Murillo and he said he hopes he stays at Inter as long as he did. Sounded like he wanted Inter to give Murillo a pay raise + longer contract

Or it sounds like he wants his fellow Colombian player to have a long and successful career at a club he loves. Think you're reading too much into it.

Eh. I understand that there certainly is a lack of consideration for other markets in Italy (just look at the dismal foreign marketing of Serie A) but I wouldn't read Cordoba's biography even if I was given a free English version of it. I read Pirlo's biography, but that's because a) an English version was available and b) Pirlo just has far, far more appeal, even to an Inter fan.

Speak for yourselfe! I would much rather read a cordoba bio then a pirlo one. Pirlo might be a ledgend of the game but cordoba is a legend of the club i love so i take hime over pirlo every day.

Pirlo was/is a boring cunt. Nothing really tantalising to read about him. I enjoyed reading I am Zlatan, found him hilarious.

I'd love to read one on Balotelli...

Pirlo's was the only biography I have managed to read.

In fact, it was the only book I have managed to read in almost a decade.

That's how appealing it is.

I wanted to read Zlatan's biography but then it was revealed that some guy ghost wrote the thing and said something along the lines of "I tried to put myself in the mindset of Zlatan when writing it". Which more or less means it's half fiction at best.

Probably explains why it was such a hilarious read
