About the book: 1987 / A collection of journalistic essays by Lev Filatov dedicated to football events from 1977 to 1986. This decade, like any other, includes many tournaments and matches, has its heroes, its climaxes and disappointments. But this decade, like no other, exposed internal contradictions and made us think about whether football is organized, lives and develops correctly, as our demanding times require. Talking about them, the author believes that the life of football is not limited to the results of the match, it is permeated with struggle opinions and views, relevance with the old fashioned, honesty with crookedness.
