Product Description
Product Description
This work is an international guide to building a style of play around the strengths of the team's players. Two coaches of the Danish national team teach soccer's four primary systems of play and then break down the different strategies, tactics and styles of play that can be used to counter every kind of opponent. Coaches can choose from attacking and defensive styles within each primary system, depending on the players and the conditions within the game. It also shows coaches how to benefit from the classic systems of the international soccer powers, including the Latin, British, Norwegian, South American and African styles of play. After coaches determine the optimal system and style for their teams, they will learn how to counter opponents' tactics and how to teach their chosen system, style and tactics through practice instruction and drills. The book includes detailed diagrams and plans of action for implementing the systems, styles and tactics.

I am I5 and am aspiring to become a football coach so although I did`nt maybe need such a tactical book,at this age, I found this book interesting,informative and such that I learnt about different systems and continetal styles.(In which this had a chapter.) I did have some stumbling points with the writer when he wrote about a sweeper in a back four as I would regard a back four as quite flat. eg: Arsenal ,Adams and the offside trap of the 90`s. The writer Jens Bangsbo ,who is now at Juventus as assistant manager, details famous formations from past Juve and Barca sides to describe particular systems in more detail for the reader. In conclusion this is a book which can educate the reader about different systems and one that describes the defence, midfield and attack. Not a wasted buy and as one of my first coaching books it is one I hold in high regard.

Any one who is serious about soccer coaching should read this book. Not only does the book describe systems and styles of soccer, but also how to coach players to play the particular systems or styles. The book has been a joy to use as a reference, during the recently finished European Soccer Championships, especially to compare the deliberations of the TV and press pundits with those of the authors. The book is worth buying just for the section on dead - ball situations. The authors make it very plain that no matter what system or style of soccer a coach chooses,it will fail unless players pocessing the necessary skills and endeavour are available to carry it through.
