THE KEY TO THE GAME: HOW MODERN FOOTBALL WORKS

What’s a “false 9”? And why are goalkeepers suddenly playing like defenders? In his new book, Tobias Escher explains the fundamentals of modern football. Using the four-phase model he explores all the relevant details about every player position, every play situation and every tactical challenge. It provides amateur and professional players and coaches – or just ordinary fans – with a valuable new resource that will make them see the game with different eyes and gain a deeper understanding of what’s happening on the pitch.
