The Thinking Player
Italian Training Concepts (Part 1)
In this e book the reader will find a progression of exercises from easier to harder ones, from 1 v 1 or 1 v 2s and 2 v 1s and 2 v 2s, through 3 v 3 which can be transformed in outnumbered defending and attacking situations, till more complex game situations like 4 v 4, 6 v 6 or involving till 13 players with or without free players. Outnumbered game situations are constantly changed and developed.
The sequence of the exercises depends on the level of complexity and on the main themes they’re focused on; they are not based on a sequence of structures of the pitches. All the exercises are focused on the players and their behaviour on the pitch and they are independent from and useful for any kind of system of play.

Italian Training Concepts (Part 2)
The main theme is the organization of positional games involving eleven players (goalkeeper included) with the three classic roles of these games: players with possession, without possession and free players as support to the team with possession. One of the main goals is to create numerical advantage for the players in possession, to allow them to have the chance to finish and score. The most important difference with all the other positional possession games is that all the free players are placed in crucial roles in the games as they would have in the most important systems of play we see on the pitch in modern soccer: 1-4-3-3, 1-4-2-3-1, 1-3-5-2, 1-4-4-2. Another interesting focus of this e-book are the never-ending transitions phases of the exercises; the goal to score is always the same and for this reason when the defenders recover the ball they must replace themselves on the pitch looking for the help of the free players and they look for it again when they have to organize a new attacking move. It would be very interesting to find a physical training point of view on the games; as they are small sided games, with the coach who always kicks new balls inside the pitch, they can be useful also for athletic workouts for the players, changing the role every established limit of time. The sequence of the exercises depends on the level of complexity as the games are always organized with a goalkeeper and 4 v 4 duels with two free players or 3 v 3 duels with four free players; all these games are easier for the attacking team as one of the main goal is to create finishing c

Individual and Small Groups Defense.
From 1 vs.1 to 2 vs. 2
If we think about all the systems of play, there are many types of defense tactics; the first big difference can be found among the defense lines with three, four or five players.
But these following can be considered deeper differences:
- How to play during negative transitions
- How and when to put pressure
- How and when run back to cover the spaces
- How and when to try to recover the ball
- How and when play with counter pressing
- How and when mark an opponent and when to cover the back spaces to him
- Who is the first defender among the forwards in the final or in the middle third
- Who is the defending midfielder or when to follow the opponents or when to try to close him. Or, why not, who is the defender who must manage the whole defensive line.
But there are common principles of play of defense that every player should know as basic skills. These are the individual tactics principles of defense against one an opponent. These skills should be learned by all players as they are so independent from the systems of play. In this book there is a progression of exercises which starts from some simple sequences, which will lead up to a final exercise where all the principles of play are mixed during its development. All exercises are combined with little goals to save and use as reference point. The final exercises include a regular goal and a goalkeeper who takes active part in it; this is useful to train the players to defend looking always at the opponent, the ball and the goal with his teammate goalkeeper.
