Pitch IQ: Soccer Coach

Pitch IQ is a soccer decision coach. Watch the play from above, and when it freezes, decide what your player should do: pass, dribble, shoot, make a run, or defend. Then your coach shows you why the best option beats yours, and the play carries on from your choice.

LEARN TO READ THE GAME
• On the ball: through balls, give-and-gos, long balls, take-ons and shots, five real choices every time
• Off the ball: when to run in behind, come short, overlap or find the pocket
• Defending: press, tackle, slide or jump the pass, track the runner, hold the line and spring the offside trap
• Set pieces: corners and free kicks, the delivery, the runs, the marking
• See what players see: which way a player is facing and how fast they're running change every option
• The clock and the score: when to take a risk, and when to keep the ball

REAL FOOTBALL
• Fouls, yellow and red cards: on a yellow, one more foul and you're off
• Penalties, free kicks, throw-ins and goal kicks, and offside judged the moment the ball is played
• Teams that chase a late goal press harder; teams with a lead sit deeper

A COACH IN YOUR CORNER
• A team talk before every situation: the score, the clock and the plan
• Your coach reacts to every decision and shouts from the touchline
• Earn your coach's trust: make poor decisions and you'll get a warning, then you're taken off
• Ten coaching styles to unlock, each with its own philosophy: positional play, gegenpressing, wing play, total football and more. Try any of them free.

A LIVING MATCH
• Every position, from keeper to striker
• Players call to each other: "Man on!", "Drop!", "Turn!"
• A real crowd: drums, brass bands, vuvuzelas and terrace chants
• Teams in every kit colour, and defensive styles from zonal to man-to-man, catenaccio to a Dutch high line
