    OMG because of technology we are able to study teams , and every focken player

    Imagine how it must be back then, pretty simple , "just kick the sphere into the nets, oh but they will try to block you"

    Of course! Because keepers have to sweep!!! Throw long balls!!! Not pretend to be a midfielder!!!! These managers think they can reinvent the wheel!! There's a reason why goalkeepers had always kicked the ball as far as they can!!! The game has the same rules doesn'it? Then watch the first 100+ years of it!!! Wake up!!!!

    He is explaining pressing, not Gegenpressing. Someone explain to Henry what Gegenpressing is :-)!

    Ah, he is great, just missing the point on this one.

    Very cool of Henry to break this down, maybe he's not done as a manager..also, she's the best female co-host in sports and we're lucky the beautiful game got 'er!

    Title is somewhat misleading. She asked Henry about the "gegenpressing style of Red Bull teams", Henry probably didn't hear the question too well and went on to explain the pressing of Red Bull teams without mentioning that gegenpressing is slightly different to what he explained.
    This is regular aggressive and risky pressing, gegenpressing is doing that but specifically trying to exploit the moment the opponent has just got the ball off you and is a bit disorganized. Henry not quite addressing the whole question (and explaining whatever is more interesting/relevant instead, which is fair when you're on TV) and whoever made this video title not knowing the difference between the two terms made this a pretty misleading title, which is a shame because the video is actually a great visual explanation of coordinated risky pressing.
