As many of you know Jurgen Klopp brought an impressive tactic from Borrusia Dortmund to Liverpool. It is what made him such a respected manager in world football. He made the champions league final with Dortmund in 2013 where he narrowly lost to Bayern Munich 2-1. Also in 2016 he made the Europa league final with Liverpool but lost 3-1 against Sevilla. Finally he has managed to get Liverpool to the semi finals in the champion’s league this year where they face Roma. So as you can see with this tactic Klopp can get results against great teams, but how does it work and why so efficiently with Liverpool. You could say gegenpressing is the best playmaker in the world since it creates so many chances
The aim of this is that when the team loses the ball they start pressing immediately to win the ball high up the pitch and therefor make fewer passes to create a good goal scoring opportunity.
With the pace Liverpool have up front makes it easier to press quickly and the tireless midfielders are also vital in the tactic. Liverpool have the perfect players for this tactic. Mane and Salah on the wings, Roberto Firmino in the false nine and the likes of Henderson and Milner in midfield who can run for days. Salah has turned to one of the best players in world football under Jürgen Klopp in his system. Now we will wait and se if Jürgen and his tactic can do the unthinkable and win the champions league.
