Pele and Di Stefano, Maradona and Platini, Falçao and Del Piero, Rivera and Mazzola - what do these soccer stars have in common? They are all midfielders and are part of the history of the sport.
The midfielder is the soul of the team: the midfielder, the player whose dark work destroys the opponent's game; the playmaker, who is the reference point for all the players in the midfield and leads the game; the outside midfielder, always ready to move quickly; the midfielder, the star who with one move is able to decide a match.
The midfielder, more than any other player, is the one who must put into practice the coach's orders, the schemes of play and the most appropriate tactics to win a match.
With the help of photos and diagrams, we will learn in this book the technique and tactics of the midfielder. The author explains in detail the development of the most typical actions of the midfielder.
And there is still more: all the game schemes (4-4-2, 5-3-2, 3-4-3, etc.), work methodology, physical preparation and training, with very useful practical exercises.
