PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This eBook explains pressing from the ground up, starting with clear definitions, basic strategies, and practical considerations. It breaks down the main pressing types—midfield, high, and low pressure—while highlighting midfield pressing as the most common approach.

The book analyzes key tactical behaviors: how forwards apply angled pressure, how wide midfielders position themselves, how to force or delay opponents, and how teams successfully win the ball through coordinated movement. It also details frequent errors in pressing, from poor distances to mistimed pressure, and offers solutions for escaping or countering pressing systems.

The second part presents extensive match situations and training sessions to teach pressing concepts. Readers find breakdowns of center-back behavior, cues for dropping off, and full progressions for “showing inside” or “showing outside” in midfield pressing.

The training catalog includes flank situations, doubling-up drills, small-sided games in constrained spaces, 8v8 pressing scenarios, and exercises for both high and low pressure—including setups with dribble gates, mini-goals, and limited passing options. It’s a complete practical guide to coaching structured, effective pressing.
