20 superstars including Messi, Ronaldo, and Mbappe,

Everything football with England Youth FC!

A young boy who loves soccer
A book that will help you develop both your dreams and your skills!

Soccer clubs and local youth FCs named after famous players, such as Cha Bum-geun Soccer School, Hong Myung-bo Soccer School, and Park Ji-sung Soccer School, are actively operating.
The TV program "Fly, Shoot-Dori", which began in 2005, has been broadcast for 7 seasons as of 2020 and has become established as a seasonal program.
Entertainment programs like “Let’s Eat Dinner Together” that feature soccer are recording high viewership ratings.

Although the soccer fever among young people is so high, it has been difficult to find soccer textbooks or soccer technique books specifically for them. Finally, a must-have book for young soccer lovers has been published.
Published in the UK, this book features some of the world's best star players and teaches them soccer skills in each field.
Dribbling is learned from Messi, shooting is learned from Ronaldo, control is learned from Mbappe, and defense is learned from Van Dijk.


This book is a guide to teaching soccer skills, but it is also a guide to how to approach soccer.
Perhaps what young people need to learn from soccer is not skills, but rather attitude towards the game.
This book offers great insights from that perspective as well.
This is because it naturally conveys that the relentless training to perfect one's skills, the leisure to enjoy soccer, and the passion for soccer alone have created today's superstars.


If you want to dribble like Lionel Messi
If you want to play an ironclad defense like Van Dijk,
If you want to make a super save like Alisson Becker

One of the joys of reading this book is the dynamic photographs of some of the world's greatest living footballers.
20 star players will guide you through 20 skills including kicking, shooting, passing, control, tackling, free kicks, heading, and goalkeeping.
Next, we'll explain step-by-step how England's youth football players acquire these skills, and outline the training required to master each skill.
It consists of over 300 photos, allowing you to learn techniques more vividly and intuitively.
Next to the star player's photo, information such as nationality, club, and position is displayed, as well as abilities such as speed, passing, dribbling, defense, and stamina in graph format, allowing you to see the player's profile at a glance.


With legendary stars who have illuminated the history of soccer
From formations and strategies to stories about famous coaches!

When talking about the history of football, there are players who are considered legends today and cannot be left out.
From Pele and Maradona to Zidane, the book introduces players who have left a significant mark on football history, from strikers, defenders, midfielders, and goalkeepers.
Among them, there are players who left behind techniques named after themselves, such as the Maradona turn (or Marseille turn) and the Cruyff turn.
Of course, we also introduce creative plays by current players, such as Ronaldinho's flip-flop and Neymar's rabona, and structured them so that you can learn them in a fun way.

The story of the soccer coach that appears in the book is also interesting.
You can meet Rinus Michels, who created Total Football, Vicente del Bosque, who created the legend of Real Madrid, and Luiz Felipe Scolari, who has been an active coach for nearly 40 years.
It also provides helpful explanations of formations, the foundation of soccer strategy, and playing styles such as total soccer, pressing soccer, and tiki-taka.
We also introduce some of the most memorable goals in World Cup history.


For children and parents who dream of playing soccer
A book you must read together, turning each page!

This book covers a wide range of essential information and skills for any soccer fan.
While it's important to send your soccer-loving children to soccer classes, wouldn't it have a far greater impact on them if they flipped through this book one page at a time, admired the photos of star players, discussed their skills, and shared a shared understanding?

Teaching children skills is the coach's job, but nurturing their dreams is the parent's job.
