I had the opportunity to preview this book before it was released. Stevie Grieve does a great job of breaking down the details of the 4-2-3-1, and it builds well on his first edition of the system (I’ve also read the first book).
In the “Advanced Tactics” he breaks down the defensive and attacking principles of the system. Looks at certain professional clubs and what he has seen from them and this formation. He also does a great job of looking at pattern play in developing the attack.
In both books he finished with several training sessions related to the 4-2-3-1 and teaching defensive and attacking principles needed for the system.
I recommend this book if anyone is looking for more detail and information on this modern system that everyone seems to be adopting. There are definitely things that I am going to take away from Grieve’s book and apply to our 4-3-3 system this upcoming spring.
