Live this Wednesday: Klopp's Germany and the counter-press

Hi everyone,

This Wednesday at 1pm (UK time), we're going live to look at the idea Klopp has built his career on: the counter-press. He's only a handful of games into the Germany job, but you can already see the shape of it. We'll go through the footage together.

We'll cover:

• The structure behind it: who goes, who covers, and the distances between them

• The mentality Klopp builds around the moment the ball is lost

• Where it works, and where it leaves Germany open

• Practices you can use to coach it with your own players

If you already coach a counter-press, or you're thinking about introducing one, we'd love to hear how you go about it. Drop your questions below, and we'll pick them up on the stream.

See you Wednesday!

Is retaining the ball when winning it back part of your game model?

Going for a quick counter attack can leave the rest of the team exposed and spread. Retaining the ball allows your team to get into an organised attacking state before you go.
