The High line seems to be increasing in popularity every season, with more and more teams looking to regain possession early to quickly create dangerous opportunities. In this video, we take an in depth look at why teams choose to start their defenders high up the pitch, along with the benefits and potential weaknesses of this system.
Team's such as Jurgen Klopps Liverpool have had tremendous success with this system, and have managed to catch the opposition offside more than any other team in the league. While it may seem like it's easy for every team to implement, there are a few cases where things have not gone smoothly for teams who adopt a high line, a highlight of which is Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone.
In this video we further explain how a team could look to get round a high line, and what a defence can do to counter any threats the opposition could pose

As a Fiorentina fan really glad you mentioned us! It is exactly our gamestyle, and many of the goal taken were just because offside trap wasn't done properly.
Hi, who plays in your midfield?
@@armchaircritic4178 Torreira is definetly the play. At first Duncan and Bonaventura completed the midfield, then Castrovilli was preferred over Bonaventura and Maleh is constantly the alternative of Duncan. Although Italiano seems to never use the same starting 11, there has been MANY variants.
Esatto, purtroppo
Viva fiorentina!!! Stateside fan here
You lost the Europa Conference game because of your high line. In the 89th minute of the final, West Ham forward Bowen broke the high line and ran and scored.
You should know that there are times to play low and focus on defending your goal. Like in a tournament final at 1-1.
Thank you for the upload!
Great vid, thank you for sharing it!
Excellent as always!
In 10 years the entire team will be in the opponent's box!
For real bruh
Fun times ahead!
It's true
You can't be offside in your own half, so they can't afford to do it.
Klopp has also said that a high line results in less running for his team. The quicker to get the ball back, the less distance back toy heir own goal they have to run. Of course some teams are learning how they play the ball out can counter-act this. Long balls or even hitting balls at awkward angles so that it’s hard to control.
Great channel!
sorry but that doesn't make sense. Just lob the ball behind the high line and everyone has to run back.
@@nofurtherwest3474 The offside trap exists for that purpose. The only time the players have to track back is if a timed through-ball is sent through, but Virgil can usually shut down most attacks like that.
@@999.MoAmin Did you not see Barca just get demolished by Real Madrid due to dumb suicidal high line?
Yes if you get the off side trap right you look like a genius, and when you don't you're toast.
High line = high danger.
@@nofurtherwest3474 I’d attribute that to Kounde’s lackluster performance in that match. He was the odd one out in defense. The other defenders were trying to play Vini offside for that first goal, but Kounde was oblivious and stuck his foot out which kept Vini onside. As I’ve said, Kounde was the weakest link that ruined the chances of the high line to be used at its best.
@@999.MoAmin There's not much benefit to pushing all the way up to the midway line because there's no offside behind that. so what... you're trying to catch them offside in the first 8 yards after midway line? that's a damn small window.
better to lay back and have some insurance. you playing with fire. the risk is not worth the reward. the risk is too high against a team like RM with fast forwards. even if they stay behind your line when the ball is passed they can still outrun you.
Excellent video pls do brentford tactical analysis
High line is good in the modern game, BUT, Real Madrid won Liverpool in the UCL final precisely because RM did not use it and tricked Liverpool into using it.
As the minutes passed Liverpool became slower and slower, and the Vinicius Jr. goal was a masterpiece and a perfect demonstration of what can go wrong with a high line.
Liverpool tried to mantain it, but Modric was able to pass the ball through the line, and then with Carvajal overlap it was a 4vs4 with the defenders running backwards in a very weak defensive position. Almost the same as in the Benzema disallowed goal.
Vinicius goal was simply as a result of TAA failed awareness, he could have easily stopped it him. Konate pocketed Vini until that deflected ball from Valvede went Vinis direction for the goal. I don't know what you watched
are you talking about the 1st leg?
but yeah you're right. high line high danger.
i talked about positives of Pre-Season friendly matches any way still improvements needed .Liverpool High line defencing will exploit defensive errors here i mean Arnold we need him to evolve his game and be defensively near to his world class skills not any other things ,I like Liverpool 11 from minutes 60 up to the end of the end match vs RB Leipzig they were intense,energetic i like more (Stefan Bajcetic) he looks great like his father when was playing for Serbia International Team.
Excellent vid. I enjoy watching teams high press and don't really understand why more teams do not simply go for long goal kicks then battle for second balls when they're clearly outmatched when it comes to attacking a high press. I think far too many teams try to build out the back off goal kicks when they do not have the talent/skills to navigate a well organized press on a consistent basis.
I'm not a big fan of the offside trap as I feel it's an exploitation of the original spirit of the Offside Law (though perfectly within a teams's strategic rites). But I do like the "ball as reference" approach to a high line as I feel that works more "in the spirit" of the game
teams don't go long because for this they need to get more players forward to fight for the second ball, allowing a counter from the opposing team.
also, it would mean that they won't have the ball to stop the other team from building play, as they're giving it away too easily with long passes. so, instead, they opt for retaining possession and try to build an attack from there.
@@ldalle I'm speaking specifically off goal kicks. It's easy to get plenty of men forward on a dead ball situation.
Insofar as losing possession, I think losing possession in the back while trying to build up and your defense is stretched is a far more compromising position than going long off of a goal kick when more of your players are in a compact/defensively organized situation and if the opposition wins the ball they are further from goal and therefore, in a less threatening position than if they won the ball against a stretched defense just outside that defense's penalty box
What a great channel
But why you named just teams who use 433?
There's another team in Italy who plays with a really high defence: Torino
They play with a mindset which is called in Italy 'Palla o Uomo'(Ball or man) to prevent to not getting thourogh balls(i don't Know how this has to be written)
Torino might also deserve a video just for them, they are the future of modern football
Thanks I'm going to use this
Liverpool are masters of this tactic. Very frustrating for opposing attackers.
Their recruitment has been spot on. I wonder though, how long does a defence need to play together before they gel like Liverpool have?
They need to understand each other, their habits, playstyles, passing ranges, you name it. They need a high football IQ. A defense is like a unit, not just individuals. They need to be in sync. I’d say around 6 months to a year.
5:56 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Just like the 80s it will go full circle and teams will sit back. The long ball was the undoing of the high lines in the 80s. Get players with pace on the half way line and somebody who can pump it into space and watch the fun begin! Liverpool have a well drilled and superbly athletic back 4, hence they get away with it. Look what happened when Van Dyke was injured last season and they finished 3rd, lost 9 and shipped 42 goals.
Teams already try to just send long balls against all teams that play high lines now though and it barely works
It works all the time, what are you talking about.@@Blank9458
🙏🙏🙏HEY PLEASE READ IT
Hey please can you do a video on how gegenpressing is done with rotations and how it is practised please a bit detailed video on how naglsmann ralf and klopp pep try to implememt it.
Good suggestion, I'll see what I can do 💪🏻
Also Hansi flick's bayern... High line Kings
I need a tactics of how to play messi or the best way to play messi(for my game)
Psg need this too
@@FootballMeta well said
Here after Saudi beating Argentina by highline game
Now i am here because of Argentina v Arabia of WC 😅
Yes
What is a keepers role in a high defence line?
Sweeper
👍🏾
If I want to start making videos on football tactics, where and how do you think I should start? Any suggestions??
It's such a huge topic that there's plenty of ways you can start. I'd say from a purely analytical view, always start from a teams goal kicks and see how they try and move the ball forward, once you understand where each player starts it's much easier to understand what spaces they are trying to exploit, same goes for a defending team, how many players do they press with and what spaces are they giving the opponent?
Maguire will make the adoption of a high line a disaster at United , he lacks pace and keeps strikers of the opposition on side
You watching this Southgate?
Just laughing seeing ETH doing the one thing this video warns about, don't push the line back while pressing high
west ham today was playing high line for 35 min, they were getting hammered. Conceded goal at 39 min vs Man UTD. So stupid playing high line knowing you’re getting hammered.
It was funny to hear constant puzzlement of english commentators when they saw Hansi Flick's Bayern's high line in 19/20 season. As if they never even watched properly Klopp's Liverpool or Pep's City. How they thought Liverpool were able to high press without moving defensive line higher? what a buncha idiots.
I'm sorry but I do not see the benefit of a high line, even from this video.
You are leaving a lot of open space for the opponent to attack. You can't really "compress the space" because all that does is open space up behind. There is a finite about of space on a pitch. If you compress one area then it opens up another.
And it is safer to compress the space in your third to protect your goal than to compress the space in the opponent's third, where it is of little immediate danger to you.
Manchester united please watch this... @manUnited
