Jurgen Klopp - Gegenpress

Champions of the English Premier League for the 2019-2020 season, Jurgen Klopp has revolutionised the way we think about full-backs in the modern game. The unprecedented numbers that both Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold hit in terms of goal involvements are unlike any we've seen in football history.

With this tactic, I've tried to replicate the way in which the full-backs are used in attack. If you add the attack option, the FBs will try to run to the byline and then cross, which is not exactly what Klopp wants although it would work in-game. I've added personalised roles to TAA and Robertson to ask them to cross from deep as much as possible to try and focus on that aspect of the game, although removing it allows them to chose between the two.
