The book includes the tactics of Marcelo Bielsa (and his coaching philosophy) for developing play from defense against teams that apply pressing, with a complete analysis of the formations 4-2-3-1, 3-3-3-1, and 3-4-3.

Marcelo Bielsa's attacking philosophy includes a combination of short and long passes, moving the ball to the free player through a "link" player, creating numerical advantages, shifting opposing players out of position, and exploiting the "gaps" that are created.

Marcelo Bielsa is a coach who has earned respect and is famous for his innovative style of play, tactics, and formations he employs. He has had a tremendous impact on football worldwide and on other top coaches, such as Pep Guardiola, Mauricio Pochettino, Jorge Sampaoli, and Gerardo Martino.

The aim of the book is to utilize Marcelo Bielsa's innovative tactics to provide a comprehensive guide for effective play development against teams that implement pressing.

For development from defense to succeed, the team in possession must follow four steps:

Step 1: Provide free passing options for the goalkeeper.

Step 2: Move the ball to the free player or to the "target" player.

Step 3: Create a numerical advantage in specific areas of the field.

Step 4: Exploit the numerical advantage.

Each chapter includes a thorough analysis of the tactical situations on which Marcelo Bielsa's tactics are based, followed by a complete training session to assist each coach in incorporating the tactics into their team's training units.
