Review: Read this, be a more effective defender - I bought this book because I play a lot of 7 a side with friends and we are playing in an improvised league table based on how many points we can accrue as we mix the team each week and record the outcomes. I was coached for a couple of years playing youth football but other than that all my playing knowledge has been acquired from Football Manager, FIFA, watching Premier League football on the tele, and watching my local English Division Four team over the years. I would say I was a reasonable player for an amateur, not fantastic, but could tackle, pass, position myself correctly etc and play competently. I'm delighted with this purchase because it's brought my defensive game on and provided solutions to problems I was facing when defending. One was tracking attackers when defending crosses, I found it difficult to know what to do in this situation. Defending against a target man was also a problem and I would get into trouble as they turned on the ball. Finally, on a smaller pitch I was always tempted as a defensive player to immediately engage the wide player if I was defending fairly centrally but closest to the touchline. Now I sit in and let someone else be the point player. My team are conceding fewer goals as a result. These were just 3 of probably 9 or 10 things that added to my game immediately after reading the book. I've also read a couple of Dan's other books and love that they are just straight forward explanations of what do in different situations. On the market, most books of this type are packed with drills. Although this book has drills I'm not interested in drills because I am never going to practice them while I play twice a week for leisure with friends. What I really need is solutions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 265,265 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 617 in Soccer Coaching 6,059 in General Sports, Hobbies & Games | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (173) | | Dimensions | 15.24 x 1.63 x 22.86 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0989697762 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0989697767 | | Item weight | 376 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 280 pages | | Publication date | 15 Jun. 2015 | | Publisher | SoccerPoet LLC | ## Images ![Soccer iQ Presents Shutout Pizza: Smarter Soccer Defending for Players and Coaches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815w5RTrvEL.jpg) ![Soccer iQ Presents Shutout Pizza: Smarter Soccer Defending for Players and Coaches - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mbHJs4x5L.jpg) ![Soccer iQ Presents Shutout Pizza: Smarter Soccer Defending for Players and Coaches - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41kUqlpxnSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buy this book and concede fewer goals *by P***N on 3 December 2025* If you only ever read one book on coaching a football team to defend, make it this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this, be a more effective defender *by M***S on 14 June 2022* I bought this book because I play a lot of 7 a side with friends and we are playing in an improvised league table based on how many points we can accrue as we mix the team each week and record the outcomes.

As a UK based Footballer I'm a little biased against the Americanisation of the game and always a little sceptical of anything related to Soccer from the U.S. But Dan has got a real passion for the game and the fine details in coaching. He strikes a good balance between explaining a lot of details without over complicating the subject matter. This book would serve as a great reference manual for coaches of all levels who are looking to better understand the defensive side of the game. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52815183-soccer-iq-presents-shutout-pizza-smarter-soccer-defending-for-players](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52815183-soccer-iq-presents-shutout-pizza-smarter-soccer-defending-for-players) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
