“Over The last 20 Years I have been fortunate to travel to most European countries watching many pro clubs and their academy teams play and train. The most successful teams concentrate not only on technical skills but also on recognising the tactical play of their opponents and adapting to them. These two books by Stevie Grieve are a must for any coach looking to further their tactical awareness. Understanding the patterns of play, formation of the opponents, and being able to coach players to “play your way” are musts for any coach wishing to get the desired results at any level.” –  Barry Walmsley, CEO Travel & Play

“Two volumes with over 220 pages packed with drills and exercises to train your team to play like the elite sides in Europe”

Modern Soccer Tactics Vol 1&2 are born from the thirst for knowledge to know how the elite level teams play, and how the tactics they use are effective in game situations. The analysis with coaching idea’s should help the reader understand how the elite teams play, and why they use certain types of tactical ploys to win, and give ways to help implement the same philosophies into their training sessions; exploiting overlaps, playing tiki-taka or how to play against a team like Barcelona.

This mindset of analyzing how one formation can beat another was a big influence on Grieve’s decision to write Modern Soccer Tactics. The two book series provides a blueprint for coaches to analyze and utilize the best tactics of some of the elite teams playing in Europe.

Whether it’s discovering how to adapt Arsenal’s familiar patterns of play, Manchester United’s ability to score from corners or developing the flair and pace of Real Madrid, both books in the Modern Soccer Tactics series provide you with a masterclass in how you can adopt European match winning tactics.
