Some coaches & teams tend to overvalue them, focusing on them too much, whilst there are probably significantly more cases, where they don’t even work on this aspect of the game with their teams. Although there are more interests, articles towards the set-pieces, that show the increasing importance and complexity of a well-executed routine and strategy.

Niko Kovac revealed the whole dilemma in a press conference a few days ago. Asked whether Bayern Munich could play a similar pressing to Liverpool FC, he verbally blocked the line of inquiry. One would have to have the right kind of players for that, he said. He would need more time, too—perhaps even the full four years Jürgen Klopp has already spent in Liverpool. For the head coach of ultra-ambitious Bayern, this was a meagre statement and a symbol for the current situation.

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,
possession-hungry side, using a variety of unique actions and structures not used
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.
