About this title

Synopsis

Gerard Houllier the former Liverpool, PSG and Lyon Manager said, “The important moment in the game today is when the ball is won or lost.” Gegenpressing means to pressure the ball the instant possession is lost, with the intent of launching a quick counter attack when possession is regained. It is different then ordinary pressing where play is always directed into pre-determined pressing areas of the field. Gegenpressing is literally a swarm of intense high-energy players immediately trying to win the ball back after possession is lost, in most cases this is carried out high up the field. The idea behind this type of counter pressing is to force the opposition into hurried decisions and inaccurate passes, coupled with a heavy psychological pressure on the player in possession. This book provides insight into Jurgen Klopps Gegenpressing tactics along with training exercises that teach Gegenpressing.
