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.
Each of us has challenges, obstacles and situations to overcome.
Some, more than others. Until we can step into the lives of others,
it is difficult to appreciate the opportunity that our own
situation offers. This story is my own story. I never knew that it
was in any way "inspiring" to others. My wife, Teri has always used
me as an example to others what perseverance, guts, and character
can do in overcoming difficulties. She has always wanted me to tell
my story as a testament to the power of individual will. As I
reflected on the elements that have shaped me, most of them
occurred when I was very young. As accurately as possible, based on
my own recollections and from information given to me by my
relatives, I tell my story to you, kind reader. I have a passion
for track and field, for running. I also have a passion for
coaching. Not until I finally put in writing my experiences, have I
understood the real underlying reasons for wanting to coach. I hope
you can use my story as encouragement.
