Originally developed by Vitor Frade, at the University of Porto, Tactical Periodization is a methodology - popularized by coaches such as Jose Mourinho and Andre Villas Boas - that trains soccer players through a logical process that focuses on four moments of the game. These four moments are: Offensive Organisation, the Transition from Defence to Attack, Defensive Organisation, and the Transition from Attack to Defence. Through Tactical Periodization, the aim is to develop players to rapidly alter their on-field behaviours according to the tactical context of the match, and what actually unfolds in front of them. In turn, every training exercise focuses on at least one of the four moments, ...

Like Bolao, she is interested in matters of life and death, and her fiction hits with the full force of a train' Dave Eggers Welcome to Buenos Aires, a city thrumming with murderous intentions and morbid desires, where missing children come back from the dead and unearthed bones carry terrible curses. These brilliant, unsettling tales of revenge, witchcraft, fetishes, disappearances and urban madness spill over with women and girls whose dark inclinations will lead them over the edge.
Doce cuentos en los que lo terrorífico se infiltra en lo cotidiano. Doce relatos perturbadores que llevan el género de terror a una nueva dimensión.

Una bambina trova nel suo giardino un mucchio di ossa che non sembrano appartenere a un animale; un gruppo di amiche fa il bagno in un luogo paradisiaco che la gelosia trasforma in un inferno; un mendicante umiliato da un quartiere perbene conduce i residenti alla rovina; una Barcellona ormai gentrificata trova il modo per ribellarsi alla retorica del decoro; una presenza sovrannaturale si aggira nelle stanze di un albergo sul mare; una ragazza prova un’attrazione irresistibile per i cuori malati; un rocker suicida riceve un insolito tributo da due giovani fan.

Das Buch "Xabi Campeón" handelt von Xabi Alonsos Spielidee, der Entwicklung dieser Idee (von seiner Zeit bei der zweiten Mannschaft von Real Sociedad San Sebastián bis jetzt bei Bayer 04 Leverkusen) und vor allem von der Reise der Mannschaft von Bayer Leverkusen seit Xabis Ankunft und ihrem Weg zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte Deutscher Meister zu werden. Darüber hinaus geht es in diesem Buch nicht nur um Xabi; es ist ein Buch über Fußballtaktik, das vor allem die spanische (oder besser gesagt: "Barca"-) Perspektive auf den Fußball vermittelt, da sie im spanischen und im Welt-Fußball eine so einflussreiche Idee ist. Aus diesem Grund ist das Buch auch ein Werk zur grundlegenden Erklär...

In deze briljante, gothic aandoende verhalenbundel schrijft de internationaal zeer succesvolle Argentijnse schrijver over wraak, hekserij, jaloezie, moord en verdwijningen, en vooral over vrouwen en meisjes die hun duisterste neigingen niet langer kunnen negeren.
