The young coach demonstrated some effective ways of playing against Liverpool’s narrow 4-3-3 press using their 3-1-4-2.

The first half of Brighton against Manchester City was a great example of how City’s positional play adapts to create stability as well as positional superiority against their opponents. This analysis will therefore focus on City’s possession game against Brighton’s midfield press in the first 45 minutes, and not touch upon the second half.

This match analysis will focus on the most important phase of play in the game, being Manchester City’s build-up against Liverpool’s press.

FC Bayern could be faced with an
exciting contest in the goalkeeper position next season. In Alexander Nübel,
they have signed an ambitious young goalkeeping talent, but Manuel Neuer
certainly won’t give up his place as Bayern’s number one without a fight.

On December 2nd, 2018, Holstein Kiel travelled to MSV
Duisburg and convincingly won 4-0. Last season, under the command of Tim Walter
(now the coach of VfB Stuttgart), Kiel gained popularity as a high-pressing,

by other teams. Kiel were identified as promotion candidates, but inconsistency
lead to a 6th place finish. Amid this inconsistency though, were
games where their approach couldn’t have been much better, with their win
against Duisburg perhaps being the best example.
