Coaching Transition Play

Descriere

Contributor(s):Author: Michail Tsokaktsidis This incredible book helps coaches improve their training sessions in the most important phases of the modern game - the transition phases. The best teams in recent years (Simeone's Atl tico Madrid, Guardiola's Barcelona & Bayern, Klopp's Dortmund, Mourinho's Real Madrid & Ranieri's Leicester) have been successful largely due to their performance in the transition phases. This book provides analysis of Simeone, Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho and Ranieri's tactics. Michail Tsokaktsidis is a UEFA 'A' licence coach and has used this analysis to produce 23 full sessions (98 practices) including transition games, game situations and small sided games. You can use these ready-made sessions to practice these top coaches' tactics and find solutions for every tactical situation in the transition from defence to attack and the transition from attack to defence.

It's impossible. Football is a connection between what you have with the ball and without the ball."" J rgen Klopp ""The best moment to win the ball is immediately after you
