This book provides you with a rare and great opportunity to use 92 Roberto De Zerbi Build Up, Passing Combinations and Attacking Positional Play Practices and find out how he coaches his team to produce his fluid possession-based attacking style with unique build up play patterns to control the ball and dominate opponents.
Referring to the way Roberto De Zerbi coaches his teams to play with innovative build up play tactics, which are included in this book, Pep Guardiola said I think Brighton is playing something unique, special, and he monopolises the ball in a way I haven't seen for a long, long time.
Take your chance to coach your team to bait the press, play out from the back with fast and intricate passing combinations, and create space and overloads high up the pitch. Focus on creativity, movement, and rotations with third man link players to break through pressure, positional interchanges to break down defences, and supporting runs to finish attacks quickly and efficiently.
The 92 Practices included in this book are all taken directly from Roberto De Zerbi's training sessions at Benevento (2), Sassuolo (57), Shakhtar Donetsk (5), and Brighton & Hove Albion (28) between 2018 and 2023.

The Soccer eyeQ methodology is a proven and successful coaching method to increase scanning and improve game awareness, to provide your players with the tools to make better decisions.
Pep Guardiola: Taking the right decision in the right moment. That is the most difficult thing in football.
You will learn how to train scanning and game awareness through innovative training practices. Your players (and team) will take in information quicker, create a picture of what's around them, create an essential habit, and greatly enhance their decision making skills.
Too many players focus intently on the ball, control it, and only then look up to see the options. The Soccer eyeQ practices use simple constraints which force players to scan more frequently and read the game situation. With the picture created, your players will be quicker, sharper, and make better decisions in all situations.
The top players in the world scan the most and this is your chance to develop your players and improve their game awareness to scan like the best; De Bruyne, Mbappe, De Jong, Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Henry, Lampard, and Gerrard.
Xavi: Think quickly, look for spaces. That's what I do: look for spaces. All day. I'm always looking. All day, all day.
The Soccer eyeQ methods can be easily added into your training sessions to increase scanning, making players faster and more effective in training and matches.
