5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Explanation of the flat back four!,
By Storm (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soccer's 4-4-2 System (Paperback)
I thought that this book did a great job explaining the strageties of the flat back four in the 4-4-2 system. The book does have a lot of charts, drawings in it, but it does explain how its done. It gives you exercises that you can do to help teach your players how to execute the formations. This is NOT a beginner level soccer book. I am going to use this informatin in this book to help teach the flat back four with my varsity team

This review is from: Soccer's 4-4-2 System (Paperback)
I bought the book to help my high school daughter understand the game better. I might as well have bought her something by James Joyce. The book was clearly written in another language, Italian by the looks of it, and the translation must have been done with Google Translate. The prose is absolutely impenetrable. No attempt was made to pass it in front of an English editor of even the most limited ability. Randomly chosen passage:"The two strikers must think and move in a coordinated way, respecting the distance from the mid field section and putting pressure on their opponents with the aim of either regaining possession in an advantageous position for their team or slowing down the opposition's plays so that their defense and mid field can get back into the best positions from which to carry out the defense phase." Diagram that sentence, if you can! The book has good content, but to get anything out of it, I'm going to have to rewrite the applicable sections myself. With all the editors available to review books, this is inexcusable.

The difference between good coaches and great coaches is their attention to detail and books of this kind encourages coaches to think more specifically about every section of play. The best thing is that not only is the information detailed but their are specific examples of how to teach each section of the team!
