GAME CONSTRUCTION WITH THE THREE-MAN DEFENSE

In more recent years, many club teams and national representatives have proposed a three-player defensive line-up for the construction phase, deciding to build and develop the game through a layout characterized by three defenders plus one, two or even three midfielders. This choice arises from the desire to take advantage of the advantages that this solution offers in the ball possession phase.

In this second volume dedicated specifically to the three-man defense and born from a meticulous and careful study of the most current game dynamics, Giuseppe Agostini has concentrated principles and theoretical notions that characterize the construction and development of the three-back maneuver , identifying the main advantages and the game dynamics that arise from them (players involved, spaces created, impact on opposing positions). The theoretical in-depth analysis also finds practical application thanks to 20 proposals for collective exercises that the coach can use to train the principles highlighted by giving priority to the complexity of the game.

The educational potential of this e-Book is evident from the global approach to teaching proposed (which considers the primacy of the game as a tool for growth, including individual aspects) and from the practical ideas on the role of the coach (educator whose objective is to bring out the best in his players in terms of talent, skills, expressive freedom rather than putting in pre-determined orders, instructions and teachings).

The e-Book contains specific theory and practice for the three-man defense, in detail: 60 pages of theoretical analysis with a specific bibliography that delves into the principles that characterize the construction and development of the maneuver, how to train them and the didactic and methodological measures to effectively transfer the notions and theoretical insights proposed to the players, 20 collective exercises for training the maneuvering and construction phase with the three-man defense (6 game situations, 6 small-sided games, 8 themed games) .
