Klopp – The King of Pressing
Posted on September 22, 2016 at 1:52 pm
We’ve never heard so much talk about pressing as we have this year. Pressing high up the pitch to win the ball back is nothing new. It is simple tactics to some so why has it made its way into the headlines? Well, Klopp is the answer. Jurgen Klopp discusses his tactics in detail, unlike other managers. He tells the other team exactly what Liverpool are going to try and do to win the match. Why can he be so cocky? Teams are unable to stop Liverpool, it does not matter how good they are. Liverpool hasn’t just used this tactic to great effect this year. They’ve even managed to beat Barcelona in a pre-season friendly using this style of play. From our point of view, they have played the best football in the premier league this season, and they have even managed to improve their defence which was needed.
