Excellent look at football teamwork, large clear illustrations throughout , useful for coaches and players

Good content quick delivery

The best book I've read on the coaching & development of build up play through the thirds. Great detail! Fantastic!

I bought this book and initial thoughts are: the detail is impressive - technical and tactical info is clear and precise.It's A4 size so easy on the eye with great diagrams.There is a big focus on lots of different ways to play out from the back (rather than just lumping it up field!) with specific practices recommended to do this.Overall this book presents a whole system for controlling possession from the beginning to finish.The coaching points are in-depth and clarify the key challenges for individual players ( "Can you....." etc.)Also I like that the practices are geared for a realistic number of players (e.g 10 to 14) mostly using half a pitch.Some of it is maybe more for elite level / academy players but there's good stuff here for any player and coach to learn.Very readable with lots of new and useful ideas and practices to explore!
