When it comes to football it is easy to say those who have a vocation and enthusiasm. This is the case of Iñaki, who has developed this compilation of studies, ideas and practices. Football not only attracts him, but it also seduces him, and he wants to investigate until it makes it better and more understandable. As academy director at Real Madrid first and as a coach later, I have been able to confirm what I suspected about this avant-garde coach: that he is passionate about this sport. Sometimes you have to stop him because his ideas flow faster than the understanding of those of us listening to him; but I am convinced that this book and its impact will have will be an endless story. His identification with each line he writes makes him an essential discoverer for those of us who believe that in football not everything is invented.
