A well-organised team, in which all players know how to recognise different tactical situations and support each other, is able to enhance the characteristics of the individual and allow them to produce higher quality performances. However, technically skilled players still need to be able to communicate with each other and interact effectively. This shows how important the organisation of the game is.

The aim of the book is to highlight the principles that coaches must know and use to organise the modern game system. Learn to create a fluid and flexible environment where players know how to recognise tactical processes and relate to each other within shapes and geometric structures, to solve specific tactical situations within different areas of the pitch.
