The Japanese national team's brilliant performance, the behind-the-scenes story of the World Cup bid, the transfers of star players, the corruption and collusion within FIFA, the image laundering through oil money—behind all of these lie "invisible forces" such as national interests, economics, immigration, and human resource development. This book attempts to decipher the great currents that drive soccer from the perspective of "geopolitics." ・Why did Japan suddenly become so strong? ・Why are stars born in certain countries? ・Why does the World Cup shake politics? Every time the ball moves, every time a goal is scored, the world also moves. Understanding this mechanism will make matches more exciting and news more three-dimensional. A book for soccer fans and anyone who wants to understand the world.
