All About Pressing in Soccer provides a detailed look at the history, theory, and practice of pressing in soccer. With this comprehensive resource, the coach and player will improve their understanding of game tactics, making them stronger and more successful as a coach or player. In today's fast-paced game, when a team loses possession of the ball, it does not wait for its opponent's offensive tactics to begin. Instead, the defensive team limits the spatial aspects of their opponent's game through directed resistance—or, pressure—which immediately limits the offense's options. Beginning with a look at the history of pressing, you will gain background knowledge crucial for understanding the theory behind pressing, which is presented in the second part of the book. Once you understand the why and the how of pressing, you will be able to use the practical techniques and drills presented in the third section. With this book, you, whether a coach or a player, will have all the tools needed to implement a strong pressing tactic in the game, giving you that necessary edge over your opponents.
