European Soccer Tactics
The changes came with the introduction of the “European game to Britain”, the “Europeans” and the “Continentals”, introduced new positional formats, completely different tactical field positions, than the previous accepted (5x3x2) game plan.

Positional Changes
The new formats and positional changes were adopted by the “British Coaches” as the “Holy Grail of Futuristic Soccer”. These changing formats revolutionised the whole concept of previous positional play, and placed greater demand on the players “fitness levels” !

These new modern formations also placed great emphasis on player movements, they introduced mobility and flexibility amongst their players by asking them to participate in “Defence and Attack”.

European and Continental Coaches created these innovative strategies and integrating positional changes by using attacking players to assist in defence, and defensive players to assist in attacking moves.

New Demands on the Players
This concept of multiple positional changes during a game, transformed the British game by demanding from its players a greater all around fitness and involvement in both “Attack and Defence”.

Managers, Coaches and Conditioners realised that player’s fitness levels had to be changed dramatically, the Professional Clubs all of a sudden had to employ a clinical level of expertise, in came

• Exercise Physiologist's
• Sports Psychologists
• Sports Therapists
• Nutritionists

and additional training aids, such as

• progressive resistance exercises,
  (using previous taboo of Weight-Training) i.e.
• sprint resistance sleds
• back-packs

Innovating a Complete New Format of Aerobic and An-Aerobic Exercises

• Plyodynamics
• Plyokinetics
• Sprint Training
• Endurance Training
• Agility
• Flexibility
• Strength and Power-Drills

all of a sudden these modern fitness innovations became the norm, inevitably these new additions had to be implemented to increase the capacity of their player’s fitness levels to cope with this new format of “Soccer Revelations”.

Players Attitudes
Players own personal realisations suddenly took a complete change towards Fitness Assessments, as Coaches and Managers realised that players were expected to run further and faster during every game, (instead of their previous minimal involvement), they had to change their appraisals and promote a complete reversal of their previous training i.e.

• times
• days
• energy systems and equipment

These new formats demanded more physical involvement to implement, placing greater exertion on “Energy Systems”, and the players “Body Systems”.

It soon became quite evident that a whole new fitness regime had materialised and It became obvious, to maintain your position in a team would mean accepting these new fitness levels and changes.

The words “Exercise Physiology”, would have to be accepted, and promoted, Higher Percentages of the “Nine Levels of Fitness”, would have to become a priority. Every player would now have to be aware that, higher levels of “Fitness and Endurance”, as well as “Technical Proficiencies”, would be a “pre-requisite”, to become involved in this modernistic football.

The Future of the Professional Football / Soccer Player
We predict that in the future Professional Soccer Players will be elevated into the realms of fantasy, “all star players”, who have achieved this status, would demand “Mega Bucks” for their services.

With the intervention of the “European Bill of Rights”, relating to employment ethics and F.I.F.A.’s rulings on the proposed transfer system, these star players will be surrounded by a consortium of personal consultants such as;

• Managers
• Lawyers
• Accountants
• P.R. persons i.e. T/V etc
• Business Consultants

Along with the player’s own personal training consortium i.e.

• Exercise Physiologists
• Sports Psychologists
• Sports Therapists and Nutritionists
  (all at academic levels of learning).

Personal Fitness Trainer
The player’s most important addition, would be his “Personal Fitness Trainer”, it would be up to this person to make sure his charges (attain), (maintain) and (sustain), a very high level of “superior fitness”, so that they can maintain their status as “Super Stars”, these “Super Stars” will also have another source of information. These additional experts are;

• Video Analysts and
• Technical Proficiency Advisors

Employed specifically to monitor their game with the implementations of complex innovative additions to football, changing the whole scenario. Professional clubs, with the (24 year old) (FIFA Rule) i.e. (for retaining contracted players), will target (schoolboy – football) and junior players as young as (13 years of age) will be recruited by scouts.

Playing Life Expectancy
Pro footballers – valid expectancy in their new professional era, will be a short (15 years) up to the age of (28)! All futuristic Team Managers will aim for an average age limit of (22 years) promoting (28 years old) available only for the very experienced categories, maybe (one or two positions) in a defensive roll could be filled by these senior footballers.

With this evolution in mind We have written this “Personal Fitness and Technical Proficiency Football Manual”, so that every person interested in football can achieve, “Mega Stardom Status” and “Elite Fitness For Futuristic Soccer”.
