Story
An absolutely essential book for every modern football fan, about the development of Premier League tactics, published to coincide with 25 years of the competition. Back in 1992, English football was stuck in the dark ages, emerging from a five-year ban from European competition. The game was physical, bruising and attritional, based on strength over speed, aggression over finesse. It was the era of the midfield general, reducers, big men up front and getting it in the mixer; 4-4-2 was the order of the day.

Summary
Do you love soccer and want to get better in a systematic manner? Or have you ever wondered how top-level coaches and players think about the game?

It will analyze different parts of play during a game and provide ideas and details around how analytics can improve a team during various passages of play. It will show it is possible to carry out analytics without recourse to expensive software and the kind of backroom team that is only possible in the higher levels of the professional game.
Here's what's included in this audiobook:
- How analytics are used in soccer
- Team-formation analytics
- Attacking set-play analytics
- Defensive set-play analytics

The content of this book is very informative and good. However, soccer needs demonstration and pictures. This book lacks pictures. Personally, I do not understand the theory behind reading a book about soccer when you can just watch it online! I guess it's to strengthen your reading skills. Anyways, this book would be great for those who love to read about soccer.
