Now, with klopp, the leader of German heavy metal coach, becoming more and more successful in traditional Premier League clubs, klopp's high-position oppressive play has gradually entered everyone's field of vision.

Therefore, with klopp leading Liverpool to achieve more and more good results, there are more and more followers of high-level oppression. Whether in the Premier League or the Champions League, high-level oppression has gradually become another mainstream style of play besides passing control and defensive counterattack. With more and more teams playing against the Croatian Red Army in the Championship and the Champions League, many fans have found a problem: that is why it is also high-level oppression, and why only Liverpool in klopp can play the desired results.

Ok, second brother will take you to talk about why klopp's high-level oppression effect is so outstanding, and how klopp did it in the face of the same high-level oppression:

Advanced oppression is called Gengenpressing in English: the paper meaning is to oppress the opposing players immediately after losing the ball, that is, the tactics that the team keeps corresponding oppression when it changes from attack to defense and always revolves around the ball.

In the most ideal situation, it is best to regain the ball right away. One is to prevent the opponent from quickly counterattack, and the other is to quickly recapture the ball from the opponent's feet, forming a small-scale counterattack cooperation.

Here are two very different examples to illustrate how obvious the advantages and disadvantages of high-level oppression are:

12/ 13 season Champions League final, Dortmund against old rival Bayern Munich. In fact, from the whole game, especially Dortmund, basically took advantage of the high oppression to occupy the initiative on the field. But after the second half, the disadvantages of long-term high-level oppression were exposed. Because most players can't keep up with their physical strength at the last moment, they can't prevent it.

Another example is klopp's early Liverpool. As we all know, because the early Red Army was not as mature in defense as it is now, klopp had to choose to attack rather than defend, and let the team attack under constant high pressure. In other words, the early Creutzfeldt-Jacob Red Army played well and scored well, but once it met a tactical master like Guardiola, there were not a few games that turned over at the last minute because of physical exhaustion.

Therefore, although the high-level oppression shines again in klopp's hands, the shortcomings of high-level oppression are also obvious, because this kind of play requires very high mental state and physical strength of players.

As mentioned above, although the effect of high-level suppression can often be unexpected, the disadvantages of high-level suppression are equally obvious because it relies too much on the mental state and physical strength of players.

Obviously, klopp, as an advocate of high-ranking robbery, must be equally aware of these shortcomings. So how did klopp solve them?

First, the battle for midfield: Speaking of Liverpool's current lineup, many fans know that Liverpool has "Three Heroes of Red Arrow" in the frontcourt and Robertson, Arnold, Fan Dike and Aresen in the backcourt, but no one mentioned Liverpool's midfield trio.

However, in fact, although Liverpool's "three rough midfielders" are not as famous as the above seven people, their role is not dispensable. As we said before, because the high-level oppression requires a lot of players' mental and physical strength, it is often seen that klopp will let the midfield trio take turns to help the frontcourt trio intercept, so as to help the frontcourt trio save their physical strength. At the end of the game, the position of the midfield trio will move back further, so that the frontcourt trio will not be quickly infiltrated in a short time because of lack of physical strength when the defense fails.

Second, the backcourt inversion: Another method is inversion.

Because the top teams in the Premier League like Liverpool and Manchester City need to fight on the third or even fourth line every season, if the team maintains a high level of running and full impact in every game, it is likely that there will be a wide range of injuries and physical exhaustion of players in the middle of the season.

Therefore, in recent two seasons, in view of this situation, klopp has formulated a set of tactics to kick each other in the backcourt, and most of them are in the case of winning, and Liverpool fans also call this tactic "healthy football kicking".

Summary: In view of the shortcomings of high-order oppression, klopp has actually made many adjustments in details, but compared with these two, other adjustments are minimal.

As mentioned above, with the Red Army winning the Champions League in 18/ 19 season, the high oppression advocated by klopp gradually stepped onto the big stage.

However, when klopp's team was oppressed by other teams, how did klopp respond?

Klopp's answer is: backcourt transmission and control+large-scale dispatching.

Backcourt passing control: Because high-level oppression is to break the ball from the foot of the opponent's middle and backcourt players, in an ideal situation, if the defender's footwork is delicate enough, then the side that implements high-level oppression cannot grab the ball from the opponent's foot.

Therefore, in view of this, klopp let goalkeeper Aresen, who has delicate footwork, also participate in the pass control in the backcourt.

As shown in the above picture, the battle between Liverpool and Manchester City 1 Tianwangshan started this season, and Guardiola used high pressure to suppress klopp's attack in the backcourt.

Klopp's response is to let the team's overall defense focus on Fan Dike to play a small range of pass control. Although the fans at the scene were always on tenterhooks, fortunately, Aresen and Fan Dike, under the high pressure of Manchester City, dared to look for passing space to consume each other's physical strength.

Large-scale scheduling: Another way to face high-level oppression is large-scale scheduling. Let's take two full-backs in Liverpool as an example. Because Arnold and Robertson's footwork skills are very delicate, klopp chose to let Arnold and Robertson make frequent large-scale scheduling to involve each other's defensive space when facing the oppression of many teams.

The role of large-scale scheduling is also very obvious. In a sense, it can help other players save physical strength and make maximum use of the space on the court. The long pass behind Liverpool can also be said to be an improved version of large-scale dispatching tactics.

Summary: Facing the same high-pressure team, klopp's coping style is very practical. One is to use Fan Dike's delicate footwork as a center to pass and control the backcourt, and the other is to let two full-backs use the width of the whole stadium for large-scale scheduling.

With the improvement of klopp's high-ranking oppression, many teams began to study the advantages and disadvantages of high-ranking oppression, and with the passage of time, klopp's improved high-ranking oppression will eventually come to an end.

Like Spanish football throughout the Spanish dynasty. It is only on the day when the high oppression comes to an end that another person is needed to push another set of tactics to the peak. After all, one set of tactics needs another set of tactics from the rise to the end. As a background.
