There is no doubt that Juergen Klopp (born 1967, in Stuttgart) is one of the most capable coaches in modern football and, for many, probably the best team-builder there is today. The way in which he imposed his stamp on Borussia Dortmund and later rejuvenated Liverpool has left an obvious mark on how modern football is perceived, a view that inspires a great number of young coaches.

Starting from the three pillars that support the success of these clubs -the coach's personality, his creation of a cultural identity around the team, and his pure tactical doctrine-, it's possible to outline the specific guidelines of the Klopp Method, characterized by the speed, energy, and high intensity of the players who put it into practice.

This book is a detailed, deep, and specific analysis of the way in which the German coach forms his teams, through the four moments in which he divides the game: the defensive and offensive phases and transitions. In this didactic breakdown, supported by an abundance of images, this spotlight will illuminate the center of Klopp's football universe: Gegenpressing, the staging of offensive transitions from turnovers, first applied in Dortmund and then perfected in Liverpool as an incredibly effective tactic. No longer impulsive, but optimized; a particularly effective idea that helped Klopp's football consolidate its recent supremacy over Pep Guardiola's teams.

As a synthesis of the purely tactical aspect of Klopp's work, this is undoubtedly an attractive book for football lovers and an essential and rigorous read for coaches and scholars.
