5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best,
By BrahmaBull "BrahmaBull" (Kitchener, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zone Play (Paperback)
This is not a skill development book. This is a book for higher level coaches and players about the use of various tactics. The name of the book is misleading because the discussion of tactics and play goes well beyond zone tactics and delves into pressing, transition, mind training etc. Definitely one of the three top coaching books in my library, it gets steady referral when I am putting together practice plans. Outstanding.

Not for the Beginners,
By "lovetocoachsoccer" (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zone Play (Paperback)
This book is not for the average soccer-coaching-book buyer. This book gives an in-depth look at zone play in both the attack and the defense plus training to do so. This book would best be used no less than at the U-14/16 with experienced coaches. Angelo Pereni and Michele DiCesare had their book translated from Italian to English better that most translated books I've come across. However, beware that you will be reading a book written by aficionados to provoke thought as well tactics. For those who love chess as well as soccer, this is a great book. The book was first published as "Calico: II manuale tecnico e tattico dell'allentore". It was a pleasure reading a book coming from a culture where soccer is as big as the NFL, MBA and MLB combined. I will certainly be using the information from this book and look forward to a sequel as the game continues to evolve.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a funny old game,
By Spiny Norman (San Diego, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zone Play (Paperback)
Most definitely a book for experienced coaches and players; or the very knowledgable fan. Detailed descriptions and diagrams of drills. A great textbook for reference. Somewhat complicated to read, probably due to the translation from Italian. Worth persevering though for some of the novel ideas and concepts. One of the most interesting and challenging soccer manuals out there.
