By having the winger approach the defender in a curved manner, he initially blocks the direct pass to the full-back with his shadow. Klopp's team is intentionally trying to force the pass into the center. Therefore, Klopp's midfield player maintains a certain distance from the opposition's defensive midfielder, who is the intended recipient of the pass, to encourage the pass to be directed there. However, as soon as the pass arrives, they immediately close down and press. Liverpool's full-back plays a crucial role here because the opponent is forced (unless they can technically break free) to pass the ball to their own full-back on the outside. Then, they are aggressively pursued by Liverpool's full-back at full sprint, and this is where the pressing trap is supposed to close in.
