Positionism: Inside the Philosophy of Space, Structure, and Control in Modern Football
Football is no longer just a game of talent. It’s a game of space, structure, and understanding.
For over a century, football was played in straight lines — defenders defended, midfielders passed, and forwards finished. But as the game evolved, so did its geometry. Space became the battleground. Structure became the strategy.
Positionism takes you inside the tactical philosophy that has redefined modern football. From Guardiola’s "half-half" to inverted full-backs , from five-lane occupation to rest defence and rotational triggers — this is the blueprint of control.
Written by a Master of Science in Football Analysis, this book goes beyond surface-level tactics. It explores how the best teams in the world think, move, and dominate with and without the ball.
Whether you're a coach, analyst, player, or football obsessive, you’ll leave these pages with new eyes. Eyes that no longer just watch the game — but read it.
