92 Build Up, Passing Combinations and Attacking Positional Practices Direct from De Zerbi’s Training Sessions
Learn and apply Roberto De Zerbi’s exact training methods, so your team can reproduce his unique build up play patterns and attacking style of play to dominate your opponents
Referring to the way Roberto De Zerbi coaches his teams to play with the innovative build up play tactics included in this book, Pep Guardiola said "I think Brighton is playing something unique, special,” and “he monopolises the ball in a way I haven’t seen for a long, long time.”
Roberto De Zerbi has earned the reputation of being one of the most exciting young coaches in the world by playing attractive attacking football, and this is your chance to implement his style of play into your team's training sessions.
In his first season with Brighton, he led them to their highest ever Premier League finish (6th) and their first ever qualification for European competition. This followed his previous successes at Shakhtar Donetsk, Benevento, Foggia, and most notably with Sassuolo in Serie A, where he over achieved by finishing in 8th position twice.

- Implement fundamental training elements to improve your team with De Zerbi's unique build up play patterns
