축구에 관한 모든 것 19: 아메리카리그

남미 북중미리그를 해부하다



펠레와 마라도나, 호나우두, 메시 등은 모두 역사상 최고의 선수를 얘기할 때 빠지지 않고 등장하는 이름이다. 이들은 모두 화려한 실력을 자랑하며 당대 세계 축구계 아이콘으로 불리었다. 비록 서로 달성한 성과가 달라 '누가 더 나은 지'에 대한 논쟁이 끊이지 않고 있기는 해도 넷은 한 가지 확실한 공통점을 지니고 있다. 유럽이 아닌 아메리카 대륙 출신 선수라는 점이다.

아메리카 리그는 이러한 세계적인 스타들을 키우고, 배출한 곳이다. 현재 시장 경제 상황 때문에 유럽보다 관심이 덜하기는 하지만, 전문가들은 여전히 이들 리그의 경쟁력과 잠재력을 높게 평가하고 있다.

그러나 국내에서는 관련 정보를 찾는 것이 쉽지 않다. 팬들은 스페인, 잉글랜드, 독일, 이탈리아 등과 달리 아메리카 리그에 대해서는 어디서 궁금한 부분을 해결해야 할지조차 찾지 못하고 있다. 심지어 각 리그들의 규정마저 일반적인 상식과 다르다. 처음 아메리카 리그에 호기심을 가지고 접근한 팬들은 이 점들에 높은 진입장벽을 느끼고 관심을 접는 경우가 잦다.

이 책은 아메리카 대륙 리그들에 관한 전반적인 내용을 소개하고 있다. 저자는 위에 언급한 부분들을 고려해 최대한 쉽게 각 대회들과 관련된 사항을 설명하고 있다. 또한 월드컵과 코파 아메리카 등에서 보아도 생소하기만 했던 선수들에 대한 설명까지 간략하게 곁들였다. 아직 국내에 관련 정보가 많지 않은 상황에서 '차세대 축구아이콘'을 찾는 독자 분들은 이를 통해 궁금증 해결에 많은 도움을 받을 수 있을 것이다.
