TFA SITE UPDATE 🔔
We have made quite a few changes to the site, including a new design, more content, etc.
You can read all about all the changes here.
The biggest change is that we are going to have a full paywall and remove the free tier because too many people were creating fake accounts and taking advantage of it.
It costs a lot of money to run TFA with 20+ writers, so the paywall ensures that TFA is financially sustainable to run for many more years.
As a thank you to our readers, if you have not yet subscribed, we are offering 50% off annual subscriptions for the next 48 hours.
Each plan also has a free 14 day trial, so you can try it without issue.

After this final sale, the next sale will be Black Friday, so if you aren’t a paid subscriber, now is the time to join!
If you have any feedback about any of the new site changes, please reply to this email because we are always trying to make TFA better for you, the readers!

Coaching philosophies in football set teams apart, adding complexity to the game and ultimately making it more intriguing.
Every single one of us has our favourite style of play, and on-field coaching is the main way to realize your idea in material form.
Controlling possession is one of the most popular game plans, and it is often used by the ‘bigger’ teams, who want to be all over the game and in control of every detail throughout the 90 minutes.
Also, this style could be of great importance for all teams, no matter what their initial game plan, because the security of the ball is a key factor in the modern game.
This coaching tactical analysis will show you the three drills that could help you train the control possession style, along with some other segments of the game that could fit your tactics.
