"I’ve chosen Football School Season 1 . In this book, you have different lessons, like a geography one where you talk about Brazil football. Then there’s a computer science one where you talk about what players do off the pitch on computers and how ratings work. In history, you learn about the history of football. Yes, but they don’t explain different kinds of football—like Kemari, the Japanese form of keeping the ball in the air as long as possible, which was an ancestor of football. There’s also a bit about Brazil and what kind of balls they use, like eggs, oranges and coconuts, because they can’t afford footballs."
