Or maybe you try to attack, but the breakthrough never comes — the timing feels wrong, the pieces don’t coordinate, and the initiative slips away.
If this sounds familiar, you’re exactly who this course was created for.
FM Viktor Neustroev built a structured 8-week, 14-hour masterclass designed to help club players finally understand the logic behind attacking and defensive play. Based on years of private coaching and student-tested methods, this program transforms hesitant, unsure players into confident attackers and resilient defenders.
Each week, you’ll get a focused lesson (about 1.5 hours) plus simple training tasks to reinforce the patterns.
No stress, no information overload — just steady, reliable improvement.
