Soccer Modern Tactics: Italy's Top Coaches Analyze Game Formations Through 180 SituationsComments Excellent read. Perfect book for the developing coach. Concise and to the point and chock full of developmental practice exercises. Could be better... <br />Soccer tactics needs good graphics to better explain the formations. <br />Just in 4-4-2 we have a universe of possibilities that coud be explored in the book. <br />It's a good book but could be better. If you are a coach, this book is for you. Its concepts are complex and the book assumes an already detailed knowledge of the game. There are several attacking patterns that I guarantee will help your team, as well as concepts and drills to improve individual and group attacking play. For someone who played defense in college and specializes in defense at the collegiate coaching level, the book is helpful if one-sided. The Italians focus on a zonal defense, and in general flat-back defense is detailed. There is some very good stuff in here to help build a defense. Additionally, almost any formation you can imagine is given a quick glance by a professional coach who uses it and notes its advantages and disadvantages. The one criticism I have is the clumsy writing--these guys are definitely not American. |
