Pressing is an offensive tactic in football in which a team puts the opponent under high pressure after losing possession of the ball or in certain areas of the field in order to regain possession as quickly as possible or force a misplaced pass.
Why is pressing important?
Pressing is a key element of modern football, as it not only serves to win the ball back, but also disrupts the opponent's build-up play and creates opportunities for quick attacks. It enables a team to increase control of the game through possession and prevent the opponent from developing their own game. Well-organized pressing requires a high level of running and precise timing from the entire team.
