This is a very good look at different formations and strategies by Italian coaches including World cup winning manager Marcello Lippi , Arrigo sacchi and Carlo Ancelotti .Principles of attack and defensive systems are easily explained and well illustrated.
Best off all , in the interviews questions are put to the various coaches on their choices. Very interesting well worth getting.

2 out of 5 stars Non Fiction   September 3, 2007

Somewhat interesting, maybe a translation that lacks something.

Anyway, this is focused on soccer from the Italian point of view, so a bit more emphasis on defense, and the defensive situations and formations that they are long acquainted with.



5 out of 5 stars bravo   January 5, 2007
Excellent read. Perfect book for the developing coach. Concise and to the point and chock full of developmental practice exercises.


3 out of 5 stars Good Tactics, poor graphics...   July 27, 2006

Could be better...
Soccer tactics needs good graphics to better explain the formations.
Just in 4-4-2 we have a universe of possibilities that coud be explored in the book.
It's a good book but could be better.



4 out of 5 stars Professional help from Italian-speaking writers   November 15, 2005
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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.
