SoccerTutor.com - Marcelo Bielsa - Coaching Build Up Play Against High Pressing Teams

Walter Smith OBE (Former Rangers FC Manager):

"Coaches, at a range of levels, will enjoy the content of this book and be able to integrate the key findings into their training. Maximising the link between the technical, tactical and physical aspect of the game has seen an increased use of technology, analysis and specific personnel to ensure performance levels are maximised, and player injury is minimised. As a result, this book encapsulates these topics and highlights the fact that Adam is one of the most innovative performance coaches, underpinning sound football specific practice with scientific knowledge."

SoccerTutor.com - Marcelo Bielsa - Coaching Build Up Play Against High Pressing Teams

Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal FC and Wales):

"Having known and worked with Adam for many years at International level, he is someone I enjoy working with and I have benefited in many areas of my game due to his methods and knowledge. I look forward to working with him for many years to come"

SoccerTutor.com - Marcelo Bielsa - Coaching Build Up Play Against High Pressing Teams

Steven Davis (Southampton FC and Northern Ireland Captain):

"Adam and I worked together for many years during a significant and successful part of my career. His knowledge in his specialised area, and the philosophy he implemented from a science and performance aspect within the club (Rangers FC) was excellent. As a result, it led to an improvement in me as a professional."

SoccerTutor.com - Marcelo Bielsa - Coaching Build Up Play Against High Pressing Teams

Prof. Del P. Wong (Football Science Researcher):

"Adam’s main strength is the ability to link cutting edge science to the on-field performance to stimulate a different thought process as highlighted throughout this book. Attaining the UEFA Pro Coaching Licence and a Ph.D degree, is a rare but very impressive combination which make him very unique in our field. The information provided within this book highlights the link between the science and on-pitch coaching."
