High Press 4-3-3
Coordinated forward pressure — the front three and a midfielder hunt the ball in the opponent's half.
For a coach setting pressing triggers
A high press wins the ball back near the opponent's goal. The striker leads the press onto the centre-backs while the wingers curve their runs to cut the passing lanes to the full-backs, and a midfielder steps up to support — the coordinated forward movement that defines the gegenpress.
