This book is a comprehensive resource for coaching the 3-5-2 formation at all levels. The level of detail and tactical solutions included will help you emulate how top coaches, such as Antonio Conte (Inter) and Nuno Espírito Santo (Wolverhampton Wanderers), use the 3-5-2 to great success.
This book goes into great detail to show the movement of all players within the 3-5-2 system of play in various tactical situations and against different formations, in the attacking and defensive phase.
This will enable you to optimise your team's tactical awareness and performance.
Tactical solutions are provided for all game situations, in relation to how to counteract the opponent's positioning, organisation and decision making.
This book will teach you to coordinate and solve specific game situations in a flexible way with many different options and tactical solutions.
As a coach, you can train these patterns of play repetitively, so that the players' reading of the game becomes automatic and the team is quickly able to recognise and find the best solutions to solve every conceivable tactical situation.
