Book Description

Juventus are the most successful team using the 3-5-2 formation in modern football. Juve have won 4 consecutive Serie A league titles including an unbeaten run of 49 games, 1 Coppa Italia and reached the Champions League final in 2014. Juventus are a very successful attacking team that focus on exploiting their numerical advantage at the back, patient build up play, pushing many players into advanced positions and finally creating and exploiting space in behind the defensive line. Athanasios Terzis is a successful author of some of the best-selling Football Coaching books, most notably with 'Jurgen Klopp's Attacking and Defending Tactics' and 'FC Barcelona Training Sessions' which won the Italian FA Award for "Best Coaching Book" in 2014. In this book the popular author presents a full and extensive analysis of the Juventus 3-5-2 formation during the 2013-14 season. This tactical blueprint is clearly presented with supporting diagrams and detailed descriptions of the attacking phase, the transition from attack to defence and the transition from defence to attack which enable you to discover exactly how Juventus played in these phases of the game, providing the positioning and movement of the players in all possible game situations. This detailed analysis has been used to produce 21 full training sessions (60 practices) including functional practices, opposed/unopposed zone play, transition games, game situations and small sided games. This will enable you to coach your team to attack like one of the most successful teams in Europe.
