Soccer: The Art of Defending Part 2

This second book of a 2 part series on the art of defending in soccer covers tactical defense for the full 11v11 game. Defending concepts covered include pressure and support, zone and man marking, recovery, the guiding triangle, cover/balance, double and triple teaming, tracking and compactness. Using phase plays in which specific thirds are coached at a time, Harrison teaches the concepts clearly and stresses the importance of defense at every position, including the strikers.
