making this video and not mentioning barcelona is criminal

[hernanolmosvelazquez]

This must be an EPL page because Barcelona has the highest line, press and dribble these teams offsides so far this season

[Farrisss]

I will always respect teams that play with a high line, so much intensity and entertaining to watch. Aggressive football is so much fun.

[jsbach]

Always got mad while playing FIFA when a teammate ran the CB's forward as if they were strikers. Now I realize they were visionary.

[MatovuLivingstone-yf]

Of all European clubs that play a high line tactical game, I've come to realize that Barcelona is far better than all of them.

[afeefzulkarnaeen]

If you are not going to mention Barcelona then why use Flick in the thumbnail?

[alexOO]

The reason High line won't work for Bayern is
1) One defender is slow
2) The other defender can't defend
3) Their best defender doesn't get game time

[manuelmedina]

What click bait. Why put flick in the thumbnail and not mention his current team…

[annonymousperson]

This Tactic is highly underrated, Not everyone understands how aggressive and how hard it is to implement ... you need the right set of players too, you cant expect araujo in the defense line
Everyone underestimated it but after last week, views might have changed

[straightouttazambia]

Looking at how alert and coordinated the defenders need to be really puts into perspective just how impressive what Pau Cubarsi is doing is, especially because he is just 17.

[Ben-zjwm]

You put Flick on thumbnail but talking about Spurs and Brighton loool

[macmanuelodumeru]

A beautiful and well explained video as always.
However, I don't enjoy the EPL bias. Especially considering the fact that there is Barca who plays this at an elite level. Also Bayern too.

Use their stats too to support your conclusion so we feel like you are actually universal with your knowledge and research rather than just only EPL.

Other than that, great video again. Superbly well explained

[hungotuan]

You press high, then your defense line shall be high as well

No cowardness here 😂

[beprf]

This is why Pep needs the best players to be successful. They need to be great athletes and great executers. Otherwise risk outweighs the benefits

[YairEliyahu-uwfp]

That was Carlo Ancelotti's problem with Real Madrid against Barcelona's Flick

[teephraq]

I play amatuer games sometimes as CB with extremely high line. High line is a huge advantage since you recycle the ball constantly and have more shots, but those runs from center line to your box are exhausting to the body! Basically you compete with the fastest player of the opposition in leg races. Low line is much easier to play for defenders, attacking squad does the running and defenders are resting which is more sustainable for a long season.
Also sometimes a tactic where a defender receives the ball and shoots the long passes forward switching the sides of attack (Virgil van Dijk). Here you need space and time so low line.

Very nice vid thank you. ❤
I’m a barça fan and I like offside trap tactic, give us risky fun. :)

[israelwompiah]

To the guy saying this is an epl page
It’s not
Barca ‘s line stays on the halfway line- for more offsides
Other teams go further up for counter pressing
Barca plays the high line for yes- counter pressing and also offsides…which only works after the halfway line

[skinindagame_]

Nobody: Kompany: high line with only two defenders xD

[jaydonnjuguna]

Can you review Arsenal vs Liverpool tactics?
