  1. Yeah well if i dont stop pressing/running for 5 seconds i get yelled at. i cant wait for these triggers when my coach is shouting at me to press, such jokes icl no freedom

  2. Mane was brilliant at pressing team’s defences so was our whole attack and midfield but it felt like Mane got the most goals out of it the FA Cup semi final against City for example

  3. Heres a tip that works wonders for me: you and your teammates have to "press" slowly, what i mean is that you have to move as a block while getting closer to the ball and blocking possible passes, when the player that has the ball in possession doubts for a second the nearest pressing player has to sprint full speed towards him (and still trying to block the pass) but when you are about to get to his position you slow down, again you make him doubt and this can lead to a weak pass (loses tempo and has to hurry up so you dont snitch the ball) or imprecise or a risky one with the goalkeeper or cdm, or excessive power on the passing leading to a harder control on the receiver.
    The best way to counter this is by luring the pressing player after he slowed down and dribble past him but that is super risky and the majority of defenders lack the technique or skill to be able to do this (compared to attackers) or even dare to do it (specially when they are the last man)
