Pressing

it makes less talented players seem like they are doing something

It makes less talented managers look like they are implementing some revolutionary tactics

It's some sort of miracle if I press my trousers !

Pressing is only useful if you know what to do with the ball when you win it/win it back. Otherwise you're just giving it back to the opp every single time like several of our players

There is a skill to it, like pressing as a team is hard to orchestrate as one person not doing their job properly can ruin the whole system.

That said it is overrated, like pace is. Its just the Fifa generation we live in!

Pep's barca were the masters at it, they'd hunt you down in packs, win the ball back and then let the 3 amigos run riot

There are different types of pressing, unconditional pressing, disjointed pressing, counter pressing and conditional pressing.

Chelsea team are doing none of the above this season, as it requires excessive physical demand, discipline, high concentration and team effort.
