Michael Cox grew up watching 1990s Serie A on Football Italia, which convinced him that organised defences and tactical switches are more entertaining than great goals or fancy tricks.
He authors the Zonal Marking blog, and writes a tactical breakdown of a weekend Premier League game in Monday's Guardian. He also writes weekly columns for ESPN and FourFourTwo.
