Lucas“As the Director of Coaching of a club in Florida, I have asked the coaches to begin teaching our kids the 4-3-3 system this year.  Most of our coaches are familiar with the system by watching or coaching against it.  This book helps break the system down to its most basic areas.
The author has made it simple to understand to all coaches, regardless of education, by showing examples through diagrams of this system at the technical then tactical level.  He also incorporates tactical functional sessions that my coaches can use in their training sessions to help our players grasp the new system.
I really like the fun games that we can use to get the players excited about the session.One last thing is that he explains differences in the attacking and defending systems of the 442 and 433 schemes that can benefit any coach.  For me personally, I like the “shadow play” exercises that are shown.” – Timmy Lucas, Director of Coaching, Jacksonville Youth Soccer Club, FL

“The drills in this book present a modern approach for a formation fast returning to dominance”

The 4-3-3 first exploded into world soccer when the Dutch introduced the concept of total soccer and a more fluid style of play designed to counter England’s rigid 4-4-2. The greater attacking options of the 4-3-3 saw it rise to dominance throughout Europe, and it became the formation of choice for elite sides.

The 4-3-3’s strengths lie in harnessing the athleticism of agile, mobile and versatile soccer players. It relies on creating lots of passing options to exert dominance over the opposition in the middle of the field and to maintain possession. For this reason it is highly favored by attacking sides with strong forwards and speedy wing backs.

Over the last decade the 4-3-3 lost ground to the more fashionable 4-2-3-1. But that is beginning to change now that the defensive frailties of the 4-2-3-1 are being exposed and elite coaches prefer the time proven strength and reliability of the 4-3-3.

What’s more, it shows you how to adopt a high pressure, ball hungry philosophy, with adventurous wing backs bombing forwards and a team able to create passing options all over the pitch.

“A training guide built on seven months of study and analysis of the best drills for coaching the 4-3-3 and developing a highly attacking side by an experienced coach”

LopesMoreiraThe author of Training Sessions for the 4-3-3, Renato Lopes Moreira, has been involved in soccer coaching ever since graduating from the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), Brazil, coaching in schools and clubs across the city.

In addition, Moreira has participated in many of Brazil’s popular soccer coaching events, including Footecon and FCB School Coach Clinic.

In 2009 Moreira coached at Ipatinga Futebol Clube U-15 before leaving to coach at the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP) as a Technical Coach of Physical Education, training both indoor soccer teams of UFOP.

Moreira was the technical coordinator of the project, responsible for bringing the coaches together to define the model of play and training exercises.

What’s covered in Training Sessions For the 4-3-3

The drills in this book are divided into sections to focus on different aspects of the 4-3-3. This enables you to pick them out and drop them into training to improve any area of your formation you think is weak. Along with an extensive and wide array of drills, Training Sessions for the 4-3-3 also provides insights on how you can adapt the formation to match the capabilities of your players.

Chapter 1 – Schemas Used

In the first chapter Moreira looks at the roles and responsibilities of players in the 4-3-3 based on his own team’s playing style. First of all he analyses their previous style of playing using a 4-4-2 before they transitioned to a 4-3-3. In particular, he describes how they utilized one attacking winger on the left and a more defensive winger on the right. This reflects how you can adapt the formation to suit the attributes of your players and the way you want to play.

Chapter 2 – Warm Up Exercises

In this chapter you’ll find some highly unconventional warmup drills you’re unlikely to find anywhere else! If the Dead or Alive, Funny Warm Up or Pass Through the Pitch aren’t yet part of your training preparations they might soon be as they enable you to create invigorating and fun warmup sessions for your players.

Chapter 3 – Finalization Exercises

The drills in this chapter focus on developing the dribbling, passing and movement of your players. These drills will help your players to increase their speed of play and their ability to beat defenses with smooth passing moves.

Chapter 4 – Technical Circuits

Moreira explains how to setup advanced training circuits with a variety of exercises and drill stations. All of the elements in these technical circuits can be adjusted, such as the exercises in each circuit and the number of touches, to increase the challenge and intensity for players.

Chapter 5 – Tactical Exercises

Goals are utilized in these sessions to create small sided games that will improve the ability of your players to find space, to play with pace and to develop situational awareness. The number of touches, time limit and the addition of a joker are just three ways these drills can be adjusted to increase the level of competitiveness.

Chapter 6 – Offensive Plays

The final chapter provides drills for improving the movement and positioning of your players in the 4-3-3. This includes how to create lines of attack that get the ball from the defensive midfielder to the front line, along with moving with speed to confuse the opposition.

Moreno“As a coach and coach trainer for our organization, I find this book is especially valuable for our 14-19 age group. The exercises and variations in group play assist our non and experienced coaches by helping them create training sessions of their own.  The technical parts of the book also make it easier for our coaches to include technical training as part of their training sessions in a manner that the players enjoy.  I have already used some of this book in my training sessions for Thursday and Friday and found it very useful. “ – Angel Moreno, S. Cal AYSO and club coach
