Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 https://www.google.co.uk/trends/explore#q=counter%20pressing%2C%20gegenpressing&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT-1 Gegenpressing has been the most common expression. Are you serious? You're suggesting that a search term for something over another means it's the 'most common expression'? It's pretty obvious that people are more likely to search for the thing that they haven't heard of over the thing that they have and already understand. It's wanky, football hipster nonsense and I would predict that people are searching for it because they're hearing self-aggrandising, pseudo-intellectual gimps slipping it into conversation as if everyone knows the term, then they're searching for it and either 1. Going 'Eh, that's just counter-pressing' or 2. Deciding to become self-aggrandising pseudo-intellectual gimps themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm not against the term per say as like with false 9 and the likes it's not anything new, it's the constant shoving down the throat of it that irks me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact that it's not even a thing. False 9 is a very particular thing that had no previous title for it, gegenpressing is counter-pressing, there's absolutely no difference whatsoever and anyone who says that there is in practice is just plain lying.

The College Dropout Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 KI - in denial about the facts. If counter pressing was a common phrase, Google wouldn't lie https://www.google.co.uk/trends/explore#q=gegenpressing%2C%20%22counter%20pressing%22%2C%20%22counter%20attack%22%2C%20tiki%20taka&cmpt=q&tz=Etc%2FGMT-1 Here's another. Counter attacking has slowly been used more over the last 8 years. The Tiki Taka lines up pretty perfectly with people's understanding of the phrase.
