Enjoyed the idea of including transition into finishing. It's a trade of for me in realism and repetition. But this does provide an interesting though behind using Xg as an approach to creating practice
Good book, nice explanation of the history of pressing and the different schools. Might have wanted more discussion on how to help players recognize triggers and perhaps some more drills that work on man-to-man pressing, shadow marking et al. All in all a good book and certainly lots that I will carry into training with my teams. Cheers
