The High Press Explained!
The high press has been increasing in popularity over the past decade, thanks to possession hungry managers such as Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. While there are many different reasons as to why a team will look to press the defenders and goalkeepers, the main objective is to retain possession and slowly starve the opposition of the ball by giving them no time to make a play.
In this video we're going to be taking a look at the main advantages of the high press, and why it's the best counter to build-up play. A team may look to initiate their press at any moment, using either High, Mid, or low block structures to stop the opposition in their tracks. In this video we focus mostly on the high block structure as this is the most common in high pressing teams.
Thank you everyone for the continuous support!

Yes, please do mid- and low-block videos. One of the best channels for tactics out there! Congrats!

[@FootballMeta]

Thanks man 🙌🏻

[@ryanfinnerty6239]

Mid block the best

[@maxwellgridj4060]

Mid block please !!

[@112starwarsfan]

Looking forward to seeing the mid and low block videos!

Mid block

[@fishyfish6510]

What I learned from this German managers: press to force mistakes and score Spanish managers: press to regain the ball

[@abdulrazakkassar]

German tactics is the best

[@Shiv_Deore]

@@abdulrazakkassar yes

[@robertwill23]

Spanish manager. Pep. Arteta is different. already more influenced by years of quick PL football. Xavi doesnt mind to attack quickly after pressing. And I, actually, cant think of any other spanish coaches that consistently high press/gegenpress. thing is that many midtable/bottom teams in La Liga mostly sit in low blocks. which allows possession hungry teams like Barca to not even press much.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

These managers have the best players in the world. Try to do it with mid players and see what happens.

[@CloudGGMU]

Thanks for your videos, these tactics makes me watch football in a different way, and I even applied some tactics into my FIFA 21 Career mode to counter certain formations

[@gabrieldrg7814]

I would like to see an mid block video because almost every coach that likes to keep possesion have really good cb with the ball, for example man city and they probably are expecting to be pressed. Cheers from brazil

[@xerosolar307]

Fantastic video as always, would love to watch the mid and low block tactics as well!!

good content. Great job. yeah i video about mid block would be great if you can. Keep going with your amazing job. You deserve more view and subscribers

[@gabrieljacobs1008]

I would love to see a video solely based on pragmatic managers mainly mourinho. How he adapted to his teams and players and how he used that to create systems to exploit weaknesses in the opposition or nullify strengths. Going through how his style changed from team to team that he coached would be great if that makes sense

[@FootballMeta]

That's a good idea, after tonights result not sure if Mourinho is a good example lol ❄️😮

[@shalom-enochyessuff3369]

Yes! Videos over the other pressing blocks would be great!

[@brahim7808]

A simple note, high pressure requires strong players, because this style of play is exhausting, and there should not be lazy players, because they will cause big problems for their team's defenses and allow the opposing team to build a very dangerous attack and get rid of the pressure, and I think that Managers choose certain times to apply pressure because it is stressful ، right ?

[@keventhomas7519]

Please do a mid block and low block press. That would be amazing!

Bielsa's unique pressing system would have made an interesting example here !!

Could you do a video on how to combat the long ball (hoof ball)

[@charlesbaijahe1773]

well thanks for the good work you do. would you please provide for an insight of Ralf Rangnick's pressing style and if introduced at my team Manchester United, will it be effective on players like Cavanni and Ronaldo who are seemingly beyond their 30's.

[@FootballMeta]

Hey man, thank you! I recently made a video on Rangnick's start at Man United! Go check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imOtnZeBfdanobc

[@KhaledRadwan-ku2bh]

Please make specifically the low block pressing

[@frostymourne]

Honestly I was watching this football anime called Ao ashi.. I’ve never expected that the anime goes through a lot of technicalities, terms and tactics of football. Also even touching on the training aspects and managing a football team. In one episode they show case an opponent that heavily relies on high pressing tactics. So that brings me here lol.

[@FootballMeta]

Haha never heard of that anime but I'll definitely give it a watch now

[@Joekuh]

If you read the ao ashi manga, there's some interesting formations that these videos will definitely prepare you for. I really like ao ashi for explaining football concepts cuz it shows just how much research the creator puts into his work.

[@vigilurbis3394]

The analogy in basketball is the full court press, which is also the defending team pressing the offense before they can bring the ball through the halfway line

[@FootballMeta]

I like basketball but I never watch it cause of time zones. Is this seen as a risky strategy in the sport or is it common?

[@vigilurbis3394]

@@FootballMeta It is fairly common, and has the same purpose as Gegenpressing in forcing the opposing team to make an error or to regain the ball. But it is quickly tiring esp. since only one or two players from the defending team tend to perform the full-court press defence

[@jg7088]

Thoughts on Heynckes man oriented counter pressing?

[@quentinwinkler]

Please do Mid and Low Block Videos and Peps Press is preferred

[@riverrockfilmproduction9609]

I love klopp kind of press

[@PaulKineke]

MLS team St Louis CITY SC uses a high press with attacking mentality... This has been described as a "Red Bull" style of Gegenpress. Which of the three managers above do you feel this is the most similar to? Since STL City normally has low possession numbers I would assume it's more like Klopp's style?

[@agyemangenock6818]

🔥🔥

[@eswarrao688]

Please cover Ralf Rangnick style of pressing

[@giwaazeezoluwaseyidele3306]

Tuchel is also a good tactical manager in pressing

[@augustinegbondo7575]

Thanks for the information but what can or should a team do when the holding midfielder is hold down?

[@FootballMeta]

If he's being marked it usually means there's channels either side of him for the other midfielders to move into, or even for the attackers to drop deep. Remember that when building up you will always have a man advantage, so one of your players being man marked could be a good thing to create opportunities somewhere else

[@albertbrammer9263]

A lot of goals are still scored on the break. Even top teams struggle to break a low blocking scheme. If one team just wants to defend, it takes massive skill to beat it.

[@nehemiahjacobs1987]

Do the low block vid many some Burnley and simeone fans over here👀

[@GamersZoneALG]

i can add you another manager using almost the same high block tactic in african cup, djamel belmadi

[@MarkMcCombee]

Pressing is not a choice but a reaction to the quality of your team vs the quality level of your opponents. You simply cant do this against teams who are better than you. This is a way to negate low blocks, a tactic which the technically inferior team are forced into on the pitch, not even as a tactical decision taken by the manager.

[@diazkohen2149]

Not after Leeds vs Chelsea 3-0 💀☠️ Leeds uses high line pressing

[@robertwill23]

Liverpoool always press City into mistakes and long balls. Pressing is proactive way of playing instead of waiting for errors in midblock. with good coordinated pressing (which takes a lot of time to develop) you initiate the course of the game not your opponent. widespread midblocks are actually sad watch as they point to coaches' lack of imagination and courage.
