FOOTBALL TACTICS: FROM THE SWEEPER TO THE DOUBLE PIVOT

  • More than 20,000 copies sold!

There was a time when football consisted of: “Get the ball, sprint to the goal, shoot”. Today, successful football means using strategy instead of brute force or physical strength. Fans these days are dazzled by clever passing and inventive tactics. Tobias Escher tells the story of how the game turned into the complex sport it is today. He explains why being lucky has nothing to do with footballing success these days: winning is all about the right tactics.
