{"product_id":"defending-in-soccer-tony-englund-9781782552352","title":"Defending in Soccer: The Comprehensive Guide","description":"There are many quality soccer coaches in the game at every level who feel that defending is more about mentality than tactics, that defending topics do not need to be part of every training session. With its more than 190 defending drills to train players, this book seeks to reestablish balance in tactical planning and in training design by examining every aspect of individual and team defending, making it easy for the coach to incorporate tackling, defending roles, pressing, defending set-pieces, and many more topics into team training. It is the complete guide to mastering defending in soccer.\u003cp\u003eThe 1990 World Cup in Italy was infamous for generating the lowest-ever goals per game average, and since then, tactical thought has focused heavily and consistently on flexible attacking designed to break down and defeat defending in depth. This book argues that the next tactical revolution belongs to the defending side of the ball, and it features complex, layered defending, blending postures and pressures designed to keep an attacking team off balance throughout the match.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Englund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1782552359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781782552352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Meyer \u0026amp; Meyer Sport\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.98w x 0.94d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony Englund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181462450431,"sku":"9781782552352","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbdfc228-eb9f-497a-81fb-b7ed568c8cba.jpg?v=1690260586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defending-in-soccer-tony-englund-9781782552352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
