The Gegenpress Explained: What Makes it So Dangerous

[@dp4812]

gegenpressing with Gavi, Fermin, and Casado was crazy to watch

[@mambangbiruairlaut7137]

Add Raphinha into the mix

[@dp4812]

@@mambangbiruairlaut7137 Yup he is the most important player for pressing

[@akshoyendughosh7368]

A team with a midfielder with long range of accurate passing, a winger with good finishing + pace and a CF with hold-up play and movement is must to counter. For example RM 2022 , FCB this season, Salah-Trent-Firminho, etc

[@konzza]

Nah... Not about those spesifics, but rather a well drilled pattern of distribution to play from under the gegenspress. Most often this is done by rapid sequence of short passes, rather than long ball. Having players with accurate passing and good finishing is of cource better compared to having players with poor long range passing and bad finishing. Those particular traits, however aren't the key traits to counter gegenspress. You can even counter gegenspress with gegenspress 😊

[@akshoyendughosh7368]

@@konzza yeah obviously the patterns of quick movement while recognizing the space is must to counter.

[@taftbrandli2812]

Love this play style. I also highly prioritize building from the back and using a dynamic backer to, when situation dictates, become a fullback and press a numbers advantage.

[@wrathoflichking9603]

Modern version of 3 at the back is the new emerging tactic. like xabi alonso, inzaghi, amourin

[@giampierocampa4099]

Love this video, everything very well explained. I think it's one of the best I've seen on the subject.

[@hungotuan4431]

Gegenpressing takes quite some time to be understood properly 😂

[@Deehydrate]

No, It was the philosphy of Ralf Rangnick. Klopp studied the gegenpress of Rangnick

[@HT3897]

I think barça under flick is a very good gegenpress team this season

[@pedromansur9180]

I was waiting for this vid, thanks for the info

[@ufokemo]

I'd say any manager who learns to constantly exploit switches of play to progress the ball to attack will have a system that punishes counter pressers and high lines constantly.

[@hungotuan4431]

The gegenpress makes back 3 shapes more popular, both offensive shapes and defensive ones. More coaches use back 3 shapes, more demand for versatile centerbacks, fullbacks and midfielders, all of whom excel in back 3 shapes Quite a vicious cycle 😂

[@joshua17111]

Gegenpressing is awesome. No need for players like Ozil anymore as even trequartistas can play as box to box pressing machines. Love that players are so fit nowadays.

[@hungotuan4431]

Squeezing the pitch makes the opposition uncomfortable 😂😂

[@Leeollee]

Garnacho never understands 😂

[@afumcobbina3309]

Rashford as well

[@jdjdjdnfkkejdjd]

I'm a manU fan trust me that dude's play is disgusting to watch!😢

[@deathgearknight5013]

regardless the coach come in and out

[@errorsamurai1001]

si maatje i luv it

[@hb3393]

Conte's switch of play was devasting in his first season at Chelsea, that's why Alonso and Moses did so well

[@luckylecheko10]

Match winning tactic❤

[@WAGNER848]

Bro make a vid about ruben amorim in man utd

[@Hentzau.]

He already made a video about him.

[@codemonga]

Please can you do a tactical analysis of the recent Madrid 1-3 Milan champions League game. Pleeeeeassssse.

[@alipeyvast5281]

Great ❤

[@kutlomahole7301]

I like it that's why I wanted Terzic other than Amorim.

[@sadiomane9645]

Can you please do stade brest

[@celiamkwawa1133]

Thank you😢

[@kangtheconqueror2540]

Hansi flicks Barcelona is a perfect example of gegen pressing football

[@idk-dz3fo]

So is Pep's Man City side

[@duyileoluwafemi9490]

Prime Liverpool under Jurgen klopp and Ralf Rangnick’s Austria too

[@MarceloAlahid-vm3if]

​@@idk-dz3foThey only press but not counter press after they lost the ball.

[@ishuura]

perfect? Liverpool success using it almost 5 years😂😂 how flick at Barcelona even the seasons early to says perfect

[@kangtheconqueror2540]

Next jurgen klopp

[@ethanprince356]

Football Manager predicted this...

[@javorgeorgiev6130]

I have the same take as a bunch of other analysts have said - 4-4-2 is coming back. More than it was with Simeone. Too many teams are setting up to control the middle. Once some get tired fighting fire with more expensive fire, things will change.

[@BắcPhạm-b6q]

6:17 ten hag=ten hug 😅

[@alexsmith8944]

4-4-2 mid Block will dominante the next decade. Then we will get back to 3-midfield-systems. Football tactical evolution is a cyclic process

[@samuelgyasiborr5158]

I miss old Man City under Pep.

[@lovelancebrown8052]

Man City 17/18 was crazy

[@RodrigoOliveira-bw8yx]

Gegenpressing as game model, and not as "principles" of your defensive transition is overrated!
