Attackers - First line of defence

Look at Klopp’s teams, the style they adopt is a high pressing, high intensity pressing game where their forwards put the pressure on from the front, not allowing the opposition to get close to their defence. Get your attackers into the mentality of defending from the front with this session.

WHAT'S IN THE SESSION?
