ANTICIPATION AS RALF RANGNICK BRINGS GENGENPRESS TO OLD TRAFORD
As Manchester United look to replace Ole Gunnar Solkjear with Ralf Ragnick. There’s an interesting anticipation in the air for the United faithfuls
Manchester United faithfuls are desperately hoping the board will make the right decision on the appointment of a new gaffer, until the story of Ralf Rangnick surfaced.
It's in the news that Ralf Rangnick inspired German coaches making wave in Europe presently. Names like Jurgen Klopp, Chelsea's Thomas Tuchel and a host of others.
He took his time to talk about his on type of football styles.: 'Gegenpress' is a very proactive style of football, similar to the way in which Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool FC have been playing under Klopp,
We like to press high, with a very intense counter-pressure. When we have the ball , we do not like any square or back passes.
It’s really interesting listening to Ralf Rangnick talk about football identity and how a manager’s identity should be clear. It feels like this is the kind of assistant manager Solskjaer needed rather than apprentices learning on the job
"It is a fast, proactive, attacking, counter-attacking, counter-pressing, exciting and entertaining style. It’s PlayStation football, but with your feet. The players enjoy it so much we have a hard time getting some of them to stop."
With Rangnick staying for the best part of 3 seasons, it means #MUFC picked a tactical coach in the summer. Poch, Ten Hag & Rodgers are all advocates of #Gegenpressing. United have finally arrived at the table of modern-football tactics.. The Gegenpress Master is taking over. Manchester United.
