Appealing to a wide audience, this ground-breaking handbook takes an in-depth look at soccer match analysis, highlighting the latest in match analysis research and the innovative technologies now being used by professional soccer clubs around the world.

This is the first book to focus exclusively on football, and is based on the authors' extensive experience in academic and professional match analysis.
