Want to use the iconic “Gegenpressing” strategy in FIFA 21, just like Klopp did in Dortmund and Liverpool? You can, thanks to this mastermind guide that brings back the “Raumdeuter” and makes it stand out in FIFA.
There is no need for an introduction to just how successful the style of football from Klopp. He won several titles with Dortmund e Liverpool using the tactic counterpresentation, attacking opponents while trying to push the ball into the field.
It has become a favorite in the world of football, with some coaches like Pep Guardiola giving their own take on the aggressive pressure strategy.
However, the vision of Klopp about the press, revolving around the role of “Raumdeuter”, initially assumed by Thomas Muller, is not something you can simply activate in the FIFA 21.
However, one player has gone to great lengths to find the right tactic to put Gegenpress into action, and that is as good in FIFA as it is in real life.
Muller was an essential part of Klopp's Gegenpress in Dortmund, and he's a good CAM if you want to run him in FIFA 21 as well.
