The Three Dimensional System -
allowing us
to understand, accept and present a new formula for success: Art + Science +
Business
The individual player's personality is the
most important aspect of playing modern football. We are advocating the
three dimensional soccer system at the intersection of:
- MIND - expressed by intelligent acts
of creating the game
- SKILLS - expressed through the
ability to compose the game
- PHYSICAL - expressed through speed,
power and endurance for the duration of the game
For comparison, we look at Argentina and
Ghana:

| 11
playing equal in attack and defense or set place |
Almost
perfect - small groups 2-3-4 in attack while 11-10-9 in all other
situations |
Difficulty
in maintaining cohesiveness |
The two-player composition happens in
various positions in the field: tandems, couples, diagonals and becomes one of
the most effective playing tools. The players are combining through
compensation of strengths and skills for both attack and defense.
The three-player composition defines the
triangular disposition organized according to situation, players' value, team's
needs or specific skill.

In attack: stop the ball
and play |
| Direct
or indirect attack |
Defend against
opponent's direct/indirect attack |
In defense: all in zone+man-to-man/timing the ball |
In our opinion, we believe this is the
most important lesson to be learned from Argentina:
When losing the ball: all players are
returning to defend in classical 2 lines of 4 players + man-to-man, using
interception and tackling without fault or violent attack to recuperate the
ball.
When getting the ball: slow down, control
the ball by short passing in groups of 3-4 players, switch all on the other
side, and pass over the middle line. From that point on, decide: direct or
indirect attack with groups of players.
