Because you're there too in the area— Yes.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=9) At the back. Well, from the outside, obviously, it raises those... questions, right? Those questions about what it will be like to play with this line or what it's like.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=19) Then, in practice, it's different. In the end, uh— Tell us about the experience, because— Yes.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=23) Of course, from the outside, sometimes at times— Yes. we suffer.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=26) Well, look, I'll tell you one, one very similar. It was when I played at City during Klopp's era. Klopp played the same way.

[0:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=33) Uh, they played with a very high line, set offside traps, uh, well, uh, they worked on the mechanisms that...

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=41) It works when, when you play that way. And when you play against them, you realize that if you have players with a pressing profile like the ones we have, who don't give you time to think and when you have a brief, uh... second to think, they force you to choose that pass perfectly, that perfect pass is very difficult to make.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=61) So, situations in matches where they find those kinds of passes with a high line and the timing of the player arriving is good, it's not easy. I'm telling you from experience, because we were a team that played something different from that. We tried to break the line of, of, of Klopp's Liverpool and it

[1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=80) was hard for us, very hard. So, well, uh, for me enriches me and...

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=88) It contribut—I'm excited about the prospect of having a coach who has, uh, another point of view on the defensive line and trying to learn from that.

[1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2CJ2LBYZwDFQ/en/flick-s-high-defensive-line-and-klopp-s-liverpool?t=97) I mean, I've had many coaches like Cholo, Pep, Luis Enrique, Luis de la Fuente, and now I find myself with a coach with this philosophy that can help me contribute, to continue, uh, gaining tactical concepts from— on the field.
