Take your chance to learn how Manchester City use their innovative pressing tactics to play against all different formations (4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-1-2, 3-4-3, and 3-4-1-2), so you can coach Pep's high pressing game against various systems of play.
Manchester City dictate the game with the ball and without the ball. The aim of the book is for you to learn and apply Pep Guardiola's tactical approach and strategic positional play to dominate your opponents with a relentless pressing game.
