Klopp explained in his post match press conference that his team can only play gengenpressing style if the other team also wants to play soccer.
But if the opposing team sets up to play defensively then gengenpressing cannot work as they can easily overcome this tactic by play long overhead balls..... so Liverpool had to adapt to more "controlled" tactics against these defensive teams.
Klopp is satisfied to win ugly by 1 goal margins tather than rack up rugby scorelines.
Looks like opposing teams have figured out the weaknesses of Klopp's gengenpressing style.
