A training-ground breakdown of Guardiola’s attacking 4-3-3

Athanasios Terzis organizes the book around 56 tactical situations drawn from Manchester City’s 4-3-3, then translates that analysis into 12 full training sessions containing 70 practices and variations. The material concentrates on attacking patterns such as inverted full-back rotations, creating overloads in wide areas, runs behind the full-back, switching play, and third-man combinations through the centre. Exercises are framed for different opponent shapes, including 4-4-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 and systems using a back five. The emphasis is practical: coaches can study the situations and adapt the session ideas for training focused on creating chances and scoring.
