Editorial Reviews:

Book Description
Although the theoretical aspects of zone play are continually being discussed and investigated, the teaching methods have not been examined as thoroughly. This is why this book was written. Its aim is specifically practical, so a graphic presentation has been preferred to a theoretical one.

The notions, principles, and the basic and necessary concepts of the zonal system have been covered in a simple yet thorough way.

This book gives primary importance to the defensive phase, while taking into account those aspects relating to the possession of the ball. In addition, you will find organized and logical attacks through easy to follow diagrams.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent first book for coaches desiring to learn the 4-4-2   November 3, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Excellent first book for coaches desiring to learn the 4-4-2. Simple reading.


5 out of 5 stars PERFECT   August 20, 2006
Exactly as described. Nice diagrams follow step by step implemetation and practice of developing flat back defense AND includes the midfielders and forwards as well. PLUS, has attacking diagrams and options to boot. PERFECT book - exactly what I was looking for.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Introduction to the 4-4-2 system particularly zone defense   August 11, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This book is exactly what it purports to be, a practical programme for coaching the 4-4-2.
It favours tactical drills, in the same way other coaching books do with technical drills.
Must be read a number of times, and I found it particularly useful to actively play out (using Subuteo or connect four discs) the formations and the adjustments to the defensive shape made by the movement of attackers.
Really helped me understand the relationship between the midfield and backline.
Were some typos - I think a paragraph missing in the strategy and tatics chapter, however the book is focused on practical zonal shape so not much value in there anyway.
Particularly good chapters on double-teaming and off-side tactics.



4 out of 5 stars Great book   September 8, 2004
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book is great for teams newly using the 4-4-2 formation. Diagrams are easy to interpret.


2 out of 5 stars To much filler   April 10, 1998
 10 out of 12 found this review helpful

I was disappointed in the book, to many full page diagrams. This is a 167 page book that has 2/3 diagrams. I expected more in depth about coaching 4-4-2, not just pictures. If I had been able to review the book in a book store, I would not have bought it.
