The big trend of high-level pressing
World coaches such as Guardiola, Klopp and Tuchel all promote high-pressing tactics, because high-pressing can cut the ball short from the opposing goal and launch a short-range attack.
Once you have successfully grabbed the ball at a high position, the probability of finally scoring a goal is much higher than the probability of launching a complete attack from your own backfield to the opposing backcourt.
But the high position is only the strategy of the major managers in today's world football from attack to defense, in the transition from defense to attack, offensive organization and defensive organization, the remaining three stages of football games, different coaches have different requirements for the team.

Guardiola's team is also as good at aggressive pressing as Klopp's team when switching from attack to defense, but Guardiola's team is not eager to move forward quickly when switching from defense to attack, but emphasizes the overall formation movement.
Players in all positions reach the offensive position before attacking.

Guardiola's Manchester City, because they control the situation of the game in the game, so the consumption of physical energy is relatively small, and it can also ensure a certain stability in the long league.
Both Guardiola and Klopp represent the highest level of world football in the world today in the field of coaching, they each have their own style, they also have their own winning secrets, and the philosophy of football has similarities and differences.
What is the future of world football in terms of football tactics? This requires more young coaches to have the courage to try, rationally analyze and dismantle the game, so as to develop their own model of football philosophy.
