This book is very good for coaches. It got excellent progressive drills to get a team to function like a well oiled machine for attacking and mid field play. I think the strong point for this book is the way it builds up a young team to attack the near post with sharp passes, strong midfield controll drills, etc. The drills for bringing in the backs for attacking play is decent. While the style is very Euro, the drills will sharpen any team to dominate the midfield. very good coaching book among the many out there.
