Attacking fundamentals

Attacking. From the basics.

Summary

Attacking. From the basics.

Description

In football, technical fundamentals are the foundation upon which every player, every team, and every effective action is built. They are the essential building blocks that make every move, every decision, and every moment of quality on the field possible.

This e-Book was created to offer coaches a clear, essential, and immediately applicable guide to the key attacking fundamentals. From dribbling to receiving, shooting to ball control, including shielding and heading: each technical gesture is broken down into its most important elements, using simple and direct language suited both for beginners and for those looking to strengthen and refine their individual skills.

In addition to the theoretical content, you’ll find a collection of 30 practical exercises to immediately apply what you’ve learned: targeted, progressive drills that can be adapted to different levels, designed to improve players’ technical quality in realistic and dynamic contexts.

Training the fundamentals isn’t just about teaching movements — it’s about equipping players with the tools to make better decisions, express themselves with confidence, and become active protagonists in the game.
