#4 The tactical battle: Zidane vs Klopp

Who will come out on top? Zidane or Klopp

Zinedine Zidane has built a name for himself as a wonderful manager ever since he took the reigns of Real Madrid from Rafa Benitez. He has won every single possible trophy that Real Madrid can possibly win, with the exception of Copa del Rey.

Zidane's game focuses more on attacking on counter and high pressing, which leaves the opposition completely baffled. He has a pool of extremely talented players to exploit and he does that with great efficiency. Scoring goals by crossing from deep and quick passing in the box, makes him team a delight to watch.

Klopp is synonymous with building teams. Klopp inherited a team of average players from Brendan Rodgers and he has converted Liverpool into a magnificent team just the way he did with Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp's style is to stay alert and attack the ball with pressing high up the field, even when the opposition is in possession of the ball. A loss of possession is capitalized with high-speed counter-attack. Closing down the gaps to pass into, makes it difficult for opposition teams.

Who will be returning home with the trophy? Zidane or Klopp?
