by Eugenio Fascetti and Romedio Scaia This book focuses on teaching and implementing the 5-3-2 pattern of play which uses the sweeper as a fundamental part of its defense. The authors teach the need to be flexible, versatile, and to change schemes according to the opponent, the match, the individual players, and ever-changing situations, never sticking obstinately to one vision of play. Play systems should not be rigid schemes on paper, they must come to life on the soccer field. Fascetti explains the tactics and teaches how to implement the 5-3-2 pattern through a detailed coaching program, with a sequence of exercises and drills designed to develop in the players the nexessary automatic movements.
